Testimony
I want to share a vision I had on Friday morning. I saw a golden chariot — everything in the scene was gold. There was a man standing next to the horses at the front, and another at the back of the chariot. I was amazed. In the vision I was trying to explain to the pastor what I was seeing, and he had the same scripture I had — Isaiah 53 and Philip running alongside the chariot, getting on and explaining the gospel to the person inside. But in my vision, there was no one on the chariot. I believe the chariot represents the people we meet on the street — they're ready, waiting for the Lord to place them, and for us to come and explain. And then on the Friday outreach, just after that vision, I was preaching and a young couple in their late teens came across. I stopped, walked down, and asked if they knew the gospel. They said no, so I explained it — and they gave their lives to the Lord right there. Then a man I'd met before asked about my cross hat — I gave him one and he put it on straight away, saying "I would not be ashamed to wear it." Then another man came back to me, fumbling and a bit drunk, and said, "You don't understand what always happens to me — thoughts of committing suicide." I was able to pray into that. Then a group of six youths came one by one for prayer, saying "My turn, my turn." God sets all of this up. Don't dismiss anyone — the one the Lord sends, he's the one on the chariot.

It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
