"Abiding Not Striving" | Joel Osteen Live 

When I was a missionary Jesus told me to go to this bookstore that there was a book there He wanted me to give to the mental patient I was instructed to witness to for Jesus. I went to the bookstore and my friend who owned said I have a book I saved for you it's in the box by the front door so as I was talking to her with my head turned I was holding my hand over the box and out of the box jumped a book and hit me right in the palm of my hand, I grabbed it and looked at the front it was "The Cross and the Switchblade" by Nicky Cruz which turned out to be the Key to this man getting born again and out of the mental hospital! Glory to God I am so grateful to have witnessed so many miracles in the mission field.
