I Love My Attorney!

I received this from my best friend and wanted to share with the rest of you... I have been going through a tough time and so I don't get to update much... When I read this somehow I felt lightly and so I thought of posting it instead of just forwarding it... =)

After living what I felt was a 'decent' life, my time on earth came to the end.

The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting room of what I thought to be a court house.

The doors opened and I was instructed to come in and have a seat by the defense table.

As I looked around I saw the 'prosecutor.'

He was a villainous looking gent who snarled as he stared at me.. He definitely was the most evil person I have ever seen.

I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney, kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed so familiar to me, I felt I knew Him.

The corner door flew open and there appeared the Judge in full flowing robes.

He commanded an awesome presence as He moved across the room I couldn't take my eyes off of Him.

As He took His seat behind the bench, He said, 'Let us begin.'

The prosecutor rose and said, 'My name is Satan and I am here to show you why this man belongs in hell.'

He proceeded to tell of lies that I told, things that I stole, and In the past when I cheated others. Satan told of other horrible perversions that were once in my life and the more he spoke, the further down in my seat I sank.

I was so embarrassed that I couldn't look at anyone, even my own Attorney, as the Devil told of sins that even I had completely forgotten about.

As upset as I was at Satan for telling all these things about me, I was equally upset at My Attorney who sat there silently not offering any form of defense at all..

I know I had been guilty of those things, but I had done some good in my life - couldn't that at least equal out part of the harm I'd done?

Satan finished with a fury and said, 'This man belongs in hell, he is guilty of all that I have charged and there is not a person who can prove otherwise.'

When it was His turn, My Attorney first asked if He might approach the bench. The Judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan, and beckoned Him to come forward.

As He got up and started walking, I was able to see Him in His full splendor and majesty.

I realized why He seemed so familiar; this was Jesus representing me, my Lord and my Savior.

He stopped at the bench and softly said to the Judge, 'HI, DAD,' and then He turned to address the court.

'Satan was correct in saying that this man had sinned, I won't deny any of these allegations. And, yes, the wage of sin is death, and this man deserves to be punished.'

Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father with outstretched arms and proclaimed, 'However, I died on the cross so that this person might have eternal life and he has accepted Me as his Savior, so he is Mine.'

My Lord continued with, 'His name is written in the Book of Life, and no one can snatch him from Me.

'Satan still does not understand yet. This man is not to be given justice, but rather mercy.'

As Jesus sat down, He quietly paused, looked at His Father and said, 'There is nothing else that needs to be done. I've done it all..'

The Judge lifted His mighty hand and slammed the gavel down. The following words bellowed from His lips...

'This man is free. The penalty for him has already been paid in full. Case dismissed.'

As my Lord led me away, I could hear Satan ranting and raving, 'I won't give up, I will win the next one.'

I asked Jesus as He gave me my instructions where to go next, 'Have you ever lost a case?'

Christ lovingly smiled and said, 'Everyone that has come to Me and asked Me to represent them has received the same verdict as you, ~Paid In Full.'

'Stop telling God how big your storm is.
Instead, tell the storm how big your God is

Undying Testimony

0 your thoughts it's me KeNeShEa at Tuesday, August 05, 2008

It was in Siberian prison camp where Boris Kornfeld, a doctor and a Jew, met a Christian whose quiet faith and frequent recitation of the Lord’s Prayer saved him and many other prisoners.

One day, while repairing the artery of a guard injured in a knifing incident, Dr. Kornfeld seriously considered suturing the wound sloppily, so that the guard would just bleed to death. The thought appalled the doctor; he could not believe that hatred and violence he carried in his heart. In response, he found himself repeating the words of the nameless Christian prisoner: “Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.”

After that experience, Kornfeld began to refuse to go along with some of the standard practices of the prison camp. He even went so far as to turn in an orderly who had stolen food from a dying patient. He knew that that put his life in danger, so he tried to spend as much time as possible in the relative safety of the hospital.

One afternoon, he examined a patient who had just been operated on for cancer. The patient’s eyes are face reflected deep spiritual misery and emptiness that moved Kornfeld to reach out to him. The doctor talked to the patient and shared with him an incredible confession of secret faith.

That night, someone sneaked in and smashed Kornfeld’s head while he was asleep. He dies a few hours later.

But Kornfeld’s testimony did not die with him. The patient who had heard Kornfeld’s confession was so touched that he became a Christian himself. And after he was freed from that prison camp, he went on to tell the world what he had learned. That prisoner became a great writer. His name is Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

Testimonies are very important. They show that the Lord Jesus Christ is alive and is working great miracles in our lives. We who have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ into our lives are living Bibles. Our words and actions have the power to bring people to Christ.

By staying faithful to the Word of God, we keep our testimony fresh. We continue to experience joy, peace and love and remain open to miracles. We experience God, we remain in communion with Him. And this is what generates the light in us, that radiant glow that shines through in our testimonies and attracts people to Christ.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn came to Christ though the testimony of one man. You can introduce people to Christ, too. You can begin in your workplace. I have personally seen a lot of people turn to Christ because of the testimonies of their Christian co-workers. Allow the Lord to use you and the power of your testimony to bring your co-workers to His Kingdom. Start today and do it through Christ who strengthens you.

-- One of the magnificent work of a well-known man in the world of business Francis J. Kong
