An Atheist and a Satanist?

Last Friday night I met two young men who interestingly introduced themselves to me as an atheist and a Satanist, for they somehow knew that I loved to share the goods of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I was neither disturbed nor distracted by their introduction. On the contrary I felt all the more burning in my spirit to preach the gospel to both of them. So nonchalantly I replied back, "Welcome atheist, welcome Satanist! I love to talk to you!" Then began our conversation....

Initially they began to question me about the mystery of God, and the confusion of religions, and all kinds of modernist philosophy which were mostly anti-God, if not, anti-Christ. But I was least perturbed. Deep within me I prayed for the Lord's wisdom and the proper words of life.

The "Satanist" asked, "If you say God exist can you prove from your life, some experiences?" I replied, "On which area, for there were too many experiences of God!" He quickly retorted, "Something on finance? How God led you or provided your needs?"  

Thank God for their questions, for they gave me a solid base to testify of my personal and subjective experiences of God; no doctrine, no teaching but real experience. And I testified with all my heart what the Lord has been doing and how He provided my need especially my financial need in a miraculous way.  Immediately, the "Satanist" commented that if what I said were true, he would believe into God right away. And I said, "Why not? You can..."

At times, it hard to understand spiritual things with carnal mind. I encouraged them to first have the basic of experiencing God by first believing into Jesus Christ and then step by step, experiences would follow; they would not need any proof besides their own life experiences. 

At the end, I testified that they could also experience the true and living God, Jesus Christ, by calling upon the name of Jesus and praying in the Name of Jesus; believing into Him and receiving Him as their God and Savior. And finally, I requested if they could pray with me, if they were willing they could follow me in prayer. They both willingly followed me in prayer, calling upon the Lord Jesus' Name and praying the sinner's prayer.

Thus our meeting ended with "an athiest and a Satanist," in prayer to the Lord Jesus Christ! And we proposed to meet again.
