Jesus can help you
My friend Ronan in his early 20's is definitely a cool dresser among his peers (models himself on me, I guess) and a keen gospel teller! He loves talking to people about Jesus. .

He works part time as a year tutor with the education department in Sheffield, with the older youth that have missed on education for whatever reason.


One young 17 year old was getting to know Ronan over a couple of weeks. Life at home was pretty awful for the young man and Ronan was aware of this as he came in one day recently complaining of bad chest pains.
Ronan looked at him and aware of what was going on the guy’s background just blurted out:

"I can give you no advice. You just need Jesus - Jesus can help you."

Ronan than offered to pray for the young man who accepted the offer - the chest pain left him immediately.

He went away quite surprised and when he got home he noticed his relationship with his parents suddenly started to improve.

He knew it was God reports Ronan, so he spent 3 hours on the Internet that night looking up this guy called 'Jesus'!


So the next time they met and Ronan heard what had been happening, with the family and the Internet search and all that and he said:

"You have encountered Jesus. Now do you want him in your life?"

The guy said "Yes", so Ronan lead him in a simple prayer. Then Ronan said:

Now you can receive Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God coming to live inside us. The guy said "Yeh!"

Ronan lead him in another prayer and the guy said

"yeh! I can feel the Holy Spirit! I can feel it! I can feel it!"

I read the short text that was sent to Ronan's mobile phone the next day. I won't tell you exactly what it said but it was full of thankfulness of a young man who wanted to keep following Jesus and had a new friend in Ronan.
