The rain poured down relentlessly as they approached a bridge. Despite the weather, Pastor John remained vigilant, aware of the nearby facility for the criminally insane and the potential risks associated with escaped inmates seeking rides.
As they neared the bridge, a warning sign flashed: "DO NOT PICK UP HITCH-HIKERS." Moments later, a man emerged on the road, waving frantically and shouting. Despite his wife's plea to drive past, Pastor John felt compelled to stop, sensing a spiritual prompting.
Locking the car doors, he stepped out into the storm. The man's urgency became clear: "THE BRIDGE IS OUT! A BUS JUST WENT OVER INTO THE WATER!!!" Shocked yet grateful, Pastor John realized the gravity of the situation. He thanked the man for saving their lives.
For the next half hour, Pastor John and the man worked tirelessly, warning other drivers of the bridge's collapse. Reflecting on this divine intervention, Pastor John saw a parallel to the spiritual realm. Just as the man had warned of imminent danger, countless souls are unaware of their spiritual peril.
In his message to the congregation and on social media, Pastor John emphasized the urgency of sharing the Gospel. "For a lost and dying world, 'THE BRIDGE IS OUT!' Where are those who will stand in the gap, on the streets, the highways, and the byways, to forbid multitudes from perishing?"
He urged believers to boldly share the message of salvation, emphasizing that time is running out. "HELL HAS OPENED ITS MOUTH WIDE... THE BRIDGE IS OUT... And time is running out."
Through this harrowing experience, Pastor John's faith was strengthened, and his commitment to spreading God's love and salvation intensified, echoing the call to all believers to be vigilant and proactive in sharing the Good News.
