Josh was Convicted & Said He Would Repent
Download this episode (11 min)
It was Sunday, June 3, 2007 in Pismo Beach. After praying, I began walking towards a group seven young people. I recognized a couple of them. One of the guys, named Rob, was sitting on the end of the bench, so I knelt down near Rob to talk with him.
Rob is homeless. He’s a young man who has had a pretty tough life up to this point. He’s good friends with another young man named Jeremiah, whom I interviewed last month – you can listen to Jeremiah’s interview on the May 9th blog, entitled “My Friend Jeremiah Needs Help.” I asked Rob how he was doing and he had some good news. Rob starts his new job on Monday as a construction laborer. I have done this type of work and it is hard. Please pray for Rob that he will be responsible with his new job and the little bit of income he will make. Pray that the Holy Spirit would restrain him from using the money for drugs/alcohol. Rob also informed me that Jeremiah went to jail. Please pray for Jeremiah. He has heard the Gospel many times. He understands that he must repent and trust the Lord Jesus. Please pray for the salvation of both Rob and Jeremiah.
After talking with Rob, I noticed another young man sitting next to him. A tall, skinny, blond-haired, blue-eyed kid named Josh (his picture to the right). He seemed to be the life of the group – some of them where sitting on the ground, some sitting on the bench. After chit-chatting with a few of the young ladies and passing out a few Billion Dollar Bill tracts to the few I didn’t know, I turned to Josh and asked him if he had ever been interviewed. He said, “nope!” and agreed to allow me to question him about what he believed.
Josh indicated that he used to attend New Life Community Church in Pismo. He also indicated that he was part of the youth group there for some time. As you’ll hear in the few questions I asked, he had some Biblical understanding.
After taking him through a few of the Commandments, I began to see some outward signs of his conviction. After talking to him about his plight he “looked” very concerned. Only God knows his heart but as best I could tell, he began to feel the weight of his sin. Towards the end of our encounter, I asked him about specific sin in his life. I don’t often do this but I believe he needed to hear it.
Please pray for Josh. He said he was going to repent, “as soon as possible.” Praise the God of Peace who softens the hearts of men. Praise King Jesus for He alone is our Sin Bearer. Praise the Spirit of God Who, convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgement.
