“Genesis 1:26 saved my life.” 

     That statement got my attention. Never before after teaching on the importance of a Biblical Worldview had those words been uttered to me. When the gentleman walked up, he seemed familiar to me, that I might have met him before. He proceeded to share his struggles over the years following coming home from war. We have all heard of struggles that our veterans often return home with, but it is not a common topic in my circle of influence.

     As this man related all the struggles that even included contemplation of suicide, he looked at me and recounted that at the last low moment the Lord spoke to him. For him it was an audible voice that shared several things. But one of the things he heard that day was Genesis 1:26. For him, hearing his Creator share that he was created was life-changing. To the praise of our Lord and Savior, this man has turned things around. His life and family are better than before.

     I share this to say, on my way home from the program I remembered why he had looked familiar to me. Years ago when I was at this church there had been a very emotional and disheveled man that approached me and asked for prayer. I am almost 100% certain that he was the man I had just met with a praise for his Creator. If my memory serves me correctly, the accounts were the same, but now with praise-worthy grace and deliverance. By no means do I believe that I was the only one to send prayers up on behalf of this man in his time of need, but it was very impactful to know the outcome of an offered prayer and listening ear.

     There have been innumerable times in this ministry that we have the opportunity to pray with someone and never hear an outcome. To experience the impactful nature of the Lord’s creatorship firsthand and seeing the hope that truth bestowed in a man’s life is more than just praiseworthy, but an awe-inspiring moment to SEE THE UNSEEN. The Lord reinforced in me that day CTF’s calling and message is life-changing. Thank you for your prayers and support of this ministry as we continue to share truth and hope. 

     Blessings.
