Once, the church gave me a clue for evangelizing. On inquiry I got to know that the gospel friend was a senior leader in the Justification through Faith denomination. He graduated from a prestigious university; because of meeting with setbacks in the course of pursuing a doctorate, he gave up his studies. Then he chose the path of belief in God and began to run around for the sake of God’s work. It had been more than thirty years ever since. At that time, as soon as I heard the situation, I flinched. I said hastily to the person in charge of the work, “This will not do! How can I, a person of middle-school education, talk higher than him with a postgraduate degree? I’m no match for him on the number of years of belief in God, the education, the calculation, or the qualification. It should be that a soldier faces a soldier and a general faces a general. I would suggest that you look for another person of high education to cooperate with this work!” He said: “Don’t worry. Rely on God and you can do it. Now, this work has been assigned to you.” Knowing there was no room for further discussion, I had to force myself to accept this clue for evangelizing. But, I was still apprehensive and timid, feeling that my mind was a complete blank. I then realized that I was indeed incapable. However, because there was a belief in my heart—God will surely help me, I started to testify about the end-time work of God to the gospel friend. Simply due to my low level of education and poor quality, I made a fool of myself many times in speaking. On that day, during our chat, I even mispronounced the word “裸(luǒ)” as “kè” and used the word “grassland” when referring to “lawn.” Only when the gospel friend explained them to me did I know that I had mispronounced that word and misused this word. In an instant, I blushed right up to my ears, feeling unbearably ashamed. And in my heart I only hated that I was so stupid that I couldn’t use a word properly. I really felt utterly humiliated. At that moment, even the little bit of belief in God in my heart had disappeared. I kept thinking inwardly: Quit at once and ask someone else to talk with him! Just when I was about to shrink, the words of God reminded me: “Believe! Believe! I am surely your almightiness.” “His nature is a symbol of authority, a symbol of all righteousness, a symbol of all beauty and good, a symbol that it cannot be overpowered or damaged by any hostile power or darkness….” The reminding of God’s words enabled me to gain confidence imperceptibly. Yes! God is able to make that which exists disappear and calls into being that which does not exist. Anyone, however learned or powerful, cannot be higher than God, and everything is in God’s hand; what do I fear? So, I freed myself to fellowship again with the gospel friend. And I said: “You see, as my quality is poor and my educational level is low, I even don’t know how to pronounce or use words correctly and properly; I wish you could help me as much as possible.” I didn’t expect that the gospel friend didn’t look down upon me or refuse to listen to the truth because of my low educational level. Instead, he said: “No, I just don’t deserve it. Through my contact with you over these days, I’ve found that I am inferior to you in many aspects; I also need to learn from you. What’s more, the truths you have fellowshipped about are wonderful and are that which I have never heard before. It is indeed the work of God. Only God’s work can reveal the mysteries of these truths….” Hearing his words, I kept thanking God in my heart and prayed inwardly: “O God, thank you! By myself, I would have already become a loser in the battlefield. O God! Through this matter, I have experienced that when I abandoned myself and relied on you with a true heart, you displayed your wonder and almightiness. I have seen that your nature is really a symbol that it cannot be overpowered by any hostile power or darkness, and I have also experienced the power of your words. O God! Through this clue for evangelizing, I have seen that although I am ignorant and have poor quality, when I turn my heart to you completely and when I am of one heart with you, you will give me strength, wisdom, and intelligence, so that I can have confidence and courage to face various kinds of difficulties and break through all the forces of darkness.”

Through the experience of this time, I have truly experienced the real meaning of the word: “Nothing is too hard for God.”
