I gave you a slither of her testimony, and that she is over the damage going forward in Jesus name.
But, allow me.
My dear sister who was baptized in our church family in the mighty name of Jesus has a remarkable testimony. She was out with another sister at a restaurant. When they left they both walked to their vehicle to drive home. Two men were on a spree of strongarm hold ups that night and happened to come across the two sisters walking to their car. The men waited for them to unlock their vehicle and proceed to rob them at gun point. The men told the sisters to hand over everything, and while that was being done the one sister had a 38.cal held to her chest. I personally don't believe the men wanted to shoot her, but in all their fearful emotion the gun went off point blank dead in her chest. She said as the weapon went off she looked into his face and said "God bless you in Jesus name." The men ran off, leaving the sister bleeding with a gun shot wound. Rushed to the hospital and in the emergency room. The doctors streamed into her room, because they couldn't believe that one, she was alive, and two, she was so pleasantly peaceful. She told the church family she felt like a celebrity. Because of all the attention from the hospital staff.
That was Saturday night, Sunday morning I received the phone call from the elder of the church, informing me what happened that the sister was shot. I waited on the phone for the inevitable. Yet, the elder told me she was on her way to church. Needless to say I was not only blown away, but was elated to hear such a testimony of Christ. She was moving slow that morning, and you could see her pain. But it was eclipsed by the power and glory of Jesus Christ in her face.
She understands the effects that shootings have on the youth in Broward and Dade. Our young Hispanics know youth who have never recovered. Yet, she understands the difference between her and anyone else isn't some mental discipline, or human toughness. She fully understands the power of Jesus name, the power of the Holy Ghost working through her as the bullet knocked her back, the power of Christ which summoned her to tell her attacker "God bless you in JESUS name!
Bro, believe me, that was no dig, no jab, but a special moment of just one person who has overcome because of Jesus name. Not of themselves.
Hence my question was posed the way it was posted.
Listen silent pondering isn't a bad thing, but Apostolic worship in Jesus name, can take a bullet and make it a testimony.
