DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This sermon shares a powerful story of a girl who realized the hindrance
in her life preventing her from leading others to Jesus. Through a
simple Bible verse, Isaiah 59:2, she discovered the truth about sin
separating her from God's work. Her confession and repentance led to a
revival where many sought the Lord, highlighting the impact of personal
surrender and obedience in leading others to Christ.

We sat under a tree because it was hot. We sat on the grass. It was a
very high tree there.

I saw a girl standing alone under a tree and I beckoned her to come. So
she came. I said, young girl, what's the matter? She said, something is
troubling me.

Now that girl had repented. And daily she would lead people to Jesus.
And then it suddenly came to an end.

And so there she came and we asked her what the matter was. And this
girl sitting with us, a literate girl, she said to us, is there a book
called Isaiah in the Bible? We said, yes. She then asked, is there an
Isaiah 59 in the Bible with a verse 2? We said, indeed.

She then said, please read it to me that I can hear. She said, all these
days and weeks I have been crying to the Lord because I hadn't led one
soul to Him those days. She said then, please read Isaiah 59 verse 2
that I can hear what it says.

Where it says, behold, the hand of the Lord is not shortened that it
cannot save. Nor His ear blunt that it cannot hear. But your sins have
separated you from God.

She immediately said, now I know what it is. There is something
separating me from the Lord that I do not win souls. She confessed her
sin, went back home.

When she got back home there were people standing there wanting to find
the Lord. She was heartbroken. She wept because a whole week, one week,
she couldn't bring people to Jesus.

When did you bring your last soul to Jesus? My brother went with her
back home and reported to me that the people were there and they were
coming in crowds seeking the Lord. Marvelous, when people get converted
and straight away God works and they bring one after the other to the
Lord Jesus. That's revival dear friends, when God works.
