Hope this story can be an encouragment, brothers:
A few years ago a friend and I were sitting downtown when a group of clubbers came walking by (I'd say about half of them were drunk). One of the guys, seemed like the ringleader, came over to us and said "I'm so drunk right now... are you guys are drunk as I am?" I quickly responded, "We're drunk on the Holy Spirit!"
Well the others were already passing by but he called them all back over and started cussing right in my face and ranting on about this and that for about 20 minutes. When he ran out of stuff to talk about he was about to leave but I stood up and said that if I listened to him for 20 minutes he has to listen to me. He agreed and I had a captive audience of 6-7 people.
Well I went right into it and these two guys in the group suddenly became very frightened and were listening to everything I was saying closely. As I started to talk about Christ dying for them the ringleader fellow jumped into a nearby bush, covered his ears with his hands and started screaming at the top of his lungs, "Don't Listen to him! He's lying to you! Don't listen to him!" I think that compelled them to listen even more. It was really incredible what was happening.
We must of had these guys listening to us for 40 minutes or something. At the end of itone young man came to Christ and another we got to pray for her! The Lord turned the tables on the devil, for he came up to taunt and he left badly bruised!
God be praised! Jesus has overcome this world.
