God is working in my family - another miracle

On 12/25/05, I called my brother Bryan to wish him happy holidays and more importantly to tell him our mom had been saved! I started to share the testimonies of the brothers and sisters. 30 minutes into the conversation, my brother was not put off by it, which was completely surprising to me. He normally would try to change topic if we were talking about any spiritual issues. I then found out my sister-in-law Liping was also listening to the conversation between Bryan and me. She seemed to be really enticed by my stories. I shared one story after another. Several hours passed by, but she was still highly interested. Bryan did not leave the conversation either. In the middle of this, I sensed that the Spirit was working among us, and I asked Bingxuan and my mom pray while I was on the phone. I could see the invisible hands behind what was happening. After I was all done with the stories, and concluded it with the salvation with my mom. Liping told me that she had been praying on various situations, but she prayed mainly to ask for help from GOD. She said that maybe she was not doing it the right way. She continued, "After listening to these testimonies, I realized that I need to give my heart to God!" I was awed by her comment. Great are the works of the LORD! Higher are HIS ways! She told me that she wanted to believe in GOD, but felt that she was unworthy to come before the LORD. I quoted a number of scripture verses, including Romans 10:9 "If you confess in your mouth He is LORD, and believe in your heart God has raise HIM from dead, you will be saved" and Eph 2:8 "It is be grace you have been saved through faith ...". Liping asked me to slow down so that she could write down these verses. I knew she had hunger in her soul. I then told her that Jesus said, "Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened to you." (Mt 7:7). After that, we prayed together. Liping thanked God for lots of the things in her life, and she prayed, "God, I want to give you my heart. And I know that I am not a good person, and I want you to change that in me." At the end, Liping asked me if I could do her a favor to find a fellowship for her.

It is amazing how God works. My mom was thinking about going back to preach the gospel to Bryan and Liping, and yet God had already opened a door and started working in Liping's heart. When my mom was told that God had worked on Liping's heart, my mom bursted into tears and was grateful that God's grace is with our family.

Praise the LORD! You are beautiful beyond description, too marvelous for words. Too wonderful for comprehension, like nothing ever heard or known. Who can grasp your infinite wisdom? Who can fathom the depth of love?
