Testimony: One Bible teacher explained “You are a spirit, you have a soul (a mind, emotions and will) and you live in a body. When you become a Christian, you get a new spirit making you born anew. However you don’t get a new mind nor a new body. The process of becoming more Christ like is to renew your mind to the Word of God as you let Jesus guide your life.

This businessman didn’t know what to say and bowed his head and asked God “How should I answer this question?” As soon as he had finished asking God that question, he found himself saying: “If you confess me before men, I will confess you before the Father, if you deny me before men I will deny you before the Father.” The businessman man was amazed as it seemed God spoke Luke 12:8-9 word for word directly through him to his brother.

Testimony: One Bible teacher challenged us to visit hospitals, to visit the sick, to read the Bible to the elderly in nursing homes, to visit prisoners in jail and to feed and clothe the poor. I had never visited prisons before so I was nervous about it at first. However I asked God for courage and went along with people who had done it before. After sharing the gospel with those in prison, I saw them as redeemed children of God. Later we went to a nursing home where we read the Bible which brought life to those elderly faces. In doing these things my eyes were opened to a hurting world as I saw how selfish I was in my own little world.

However miraculously, they said, the landing gear came out and locked just as the plane touched down.
