The Day that Changed My Life Forever

The Day Rudy Waters died to Himself

 

This was an incredibly special day! I believe the Lord had knew that he had burned all the desire for ministry and the pulpit out of me. I was content with serving my wife and the precious 3-5-year-old children that we had served all these years. I had no desire for pulpit ministry. He had burned it all out of me. I believe He knew now I was ready to not take any glory for myself. He was about to change my life forever. That evening one of mentors a man we looked up to had gone to be with the Lord. I had heard him preach probably hundreds of times. He was now in the arms of Jesus! I was in my son’s room praying and news came in that Steve Hill the evangelist of the Brownsville Revival had died. Suddenly it struck my heart, that I was not doing what the Lord had called me to do. I was finishing up with my last semester of college pursuing a business degree. I had no idea that ministers from all over the world were doing the same thing. Ministers were being gripped with repentance. I got on my face and cried out in repentance. Screaming I am sorry Lord for being so distracted there are souls out to there to be reached. I will never forget His still small voice speaking to me, asking me this question. Would you be satisfied with my presence and go to the streets to reach the lost? I said I would and have not looked back. I got on the cross that day, died to myself and the Lord resurrected me with newness of life! The Holy Spirit has been with me every step of the way. Praise the Lord for Him giving me another chance! He is the God of many chances! I thank the Lord for His mercy!
