Holy Spirit Drawing a Young Man to the Father

“As we entered the Vancouver Mall, I felt the Holy Spirit highlight a young man also entering the mall. We approached him and asked if he had any pain in his body or if there was anything we could pray for in general. He said he was doing pretty good and that lately his emotional state had been improving. I asked him if he had ever heard God speak to him or felt God’s presence. He said no, so I asked if I could pray for him. As we prayed, the Holy Spirit showed me he had problems with his parents, and so I prayed for his family. He looked at me strangely, wondering how I knew that. Then he told us he had problems with his mom, and they were constantly fighting. I asked him what he felt when we prayed, and he said he felt a burning in his core. I knew in that moment that God was drawing him. So I shared my testimony and the Gospel with him. He said he wasn’t very religious, so I asked him if he considered his relationship with his girlfriend to be religious. He said no, and I told him Jesus is not a religion. He is a real person who desires a relationship with you. After explaining the Gospel more, I encouraged him to start reading the Bible more and prayed for him one more time. He said he had never heard or felt anything like what we shared with him today. He was so thankful that we stopped to talk to him and said he wanted to think about it more before he made a commitment to Jesus. So we exchanged phone numbers and gave him a book of the Bible to start reading.”
