C. Peter Wagner continues with: "To my knowledge, the Campus Crusade for Christ Jesus film is the most powerful evangelistic tool operating in the world today.
There can be little doubt that more people come to Christ through seeing the Jesus film than through any other single evangelistic resource.
Paul Eshleman, the Campus Crusade executive in charge
of the project, tells a fascinating
story in his book, I Just Saw Jesus.
One of the outstanding examples of the fruit that can come through the Jesus film is the nation of Thailand.
Up to the time that Campus Crusade began using the Jesus film in the early 1980s, only 500 churches had been established in Thailand during 150 years of missionary work.
Since then, as Roy Rosedale's research has revealed, more than 2,000 new churches were planted in 8 years.
Eshleman tells the story of the film team who had shown the film in a certain rural village. They had planned on staying in the village that night and returning home the next day.
They were told they would be sleeping in the local Buddhist temple. What they were not told was that this particular temple was known for miles around as a chief dwelling place of demons.
Others who had tried to sleep there had been run out before morning. Some reportedly had been found dead the next day.
Shortly after the team had gone to sleep, Eshleman reports,
'they were awakened all at once by the immaterial presence
of a hideous beast. There in the corner of the room appeared
the most frightful image they had ever seen. Fear struck them
all like an icy fist.'
The startled team decided to put into practice what they had seen Jesus do in their own film. They prayed together and boldly cast the demon out of the temple in name of Jesus.
Nothing else was necessary, and they slept peacefully the rest of the night.
In the early morning, the villagers came to carry off the team's equipment they were sure had been left behind when the Christians were run off or killed by the demons.
When they found them sound asleep
'they were confronted with the undeniable fact that God is
more powerful than any other force.' "

Mark I. Bubeck shares with us from his book The Satanic Revival "Any society moves into chaos when human reason becomes the measuring tape for their moral living. When people choose that route, values become relative and society's standards of conduct lose stability." (pg 218)

Pray with me:
Father, thank You for causing the
men to create this movie that has been
used to lead so many to Jesus!
May the movie, Jesus, continue to be
used all over the world to educate folks
to the knowledge of what Your Son did for us.
I ask this in His name. Amen.

Today’s quote:
to have an intimate, loving relationship with the Lord and to
bring Him glory. Paying homage with our gifts and good
works is a natural extension of that design, but our foremost responsibility is to spend time with Him."

Some thoughts today: Sin only gets worse, takes you further, keeps you longer, and costs you more than you wanted to pay.
- Once you've repented of your sins, given them to Jesus Christ, and have been washed in His Blood of forgiveness, they'll have no more control over you when you surrender to Him, and ask for his help..
- Sin highlights the grace of God, as you're no long the slave of it. Jesus wants you to be free from whatever used to have control over you, my friend. Keep coming to Him for help, as there's an inward battle going on for your soul's demise.
