It was a real treat to have Lynn Strietzel stop in for lunch on Monday. We had Caleb and Tallie join in while she was telling some stories about healing God has done as well as how God gave her some keys to describe the kingdom story to some Chinese who were invited to a house party to explore what westerners do to celebrate Halloween. She explained the story of the 1st Adam, receiving keys to rule the world, losing them to Satan through deception, and receiving them back through Jesus Christ (the second Adam)
then she invited them to come stand in front of her and she wanted to give them a gift through prayer. she asked them which story they each like best that she had told. Caleb liked the story about the keys and Tallie liked the story about sick people getting better. Lynn said that she was going to ask God to give those gifts to each of them and all they needed to do was be willing to step out in some simple way…pray for Spider on the phone for his ear and tell it to get better, and share the story about the keys with someone else in the next week or so. They agreed. It was very sweet of her to engage with them and warms my heart to see how responsive they are to invitation. They were a little perplexed after about what this all means and whether they were comfortable sorting out how to follow through but we’ll encourage them to keep it simple but take a step to trust God.
