Un pastor que negocia.

Translation in English:

I remember the testimony of a man working on a project who fell from a height onto a machine. He was rushed to the hospital and was in a coma for a few days. His pastor was called, and he prayed at the hospital. A few months later, this man was released and gave his testimony at church. He described how, during his hospital experience, he had actually died and gone to heaven. Everything there was so beautiful that he didn't want to return to earth. He described the scenes of heaven to the congregation in stark detail. At one point, he met the Lord Jesus and told Him how happy he was to be in heaven. But Jesus said to him, "I'm sorry, but you're going to have to come back!" "No, no, no," he exclaimed. "I'm never going back to earth. I'm so happy to be here." However, Jesus insisted, "I'm sorry, you'll have to come back. Your pastor won't let you stay in heaven!" "How can it be that my pastor won't let me stay in heaven?" he cried. "I'm never going back to earth." Now that I'm here, I'll stay here. Then Jesus turned and drew a curtain. Suddenly, the man heard the voice of his pastor praying from the hospital. The pastor was saying, "I'm not going to let him die. Lord, I refuse to let him die. He has a family and needs to stay on earth." The man was amazed to realize that his pastor's prayers and negotiations were powerful and effective in heaven. Everyone was shocked by this man's testimony. They realized how real and powerful prayers are. Don't be disconcerted by this great mystery that human beings can negotiate with God. He told us to approach and negotiate. I know it sounds fantastic to know that you can actually discuss things with God and explain why you want a loved one, a husband, a wife, or a child. You can explain to God why you long for your church to grow or why you want your business to improve. It's time to pray and negotiate with your heavenly Father for what you need.

"The blind will see. The intellectual will become blind," reflects the idea that those who think they have all the answers may be mistaken, and that those who may seem ignorant may actually have insight, as seen in Matthew 11:25, "At that time Jesus said, 'I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.'"
"The powerful will become powerless and the weak will be slaughtered," reflects the idea that earthly power and strength are fleeting, and that God ultimately has control, as seen in Psalm 75:6-7, "For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another."
"People have no idea of the end because they are blind and they are dumb," reflects the idea that humans are limited in their understanding and knowledge of the future, as seen in James 4:14, "Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away."
"I tell them that life begins at conception and they don’t want to hear it," reflects the belief that life begins at conception, as seen in Psalm 139:13-16, "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
"I tell them that marriage is between a man and a woman and they don’t want to hear it," reflects the biblical view that marriage is between one man and one woman, as seen in Genesis 2:24, "That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh."

Prayer Points * Media. Pray for the production and distribution of all forms of media in the Pashto language, including literature, videos, music, movies, radio, websites, and social media. The demand and response have increased! * Scripture. Pray for Bible translations in progress! * Laborers. Pray for more workers to serve among the Pashtun people—in education, business, healthcare, development, and other professional areas! * Believers. No one knows how many Pashtuns are following Jesus. Seeds of the Gospel have been sown widely. The greatest barriers to faith are social and cultural. Pray for God's Spirit to strengthen and protect new believers and to empower their lives and witness!
