Two Bags  [First Page - Previous]

<<<   stuffed two bags - the largest black wheeled suitcase and a slightly smaller version of it - with Bibles, received prayer from one of the local leaders, went to the restroom twice (I was nervous) after he left, and then sat on the couch to pray some more.

I told the Lord that I was a dead duck. I was going to smuggle Bibles by pulling two large bags while wearing a shirt that broadcasts me as a Christian through a crossing where I had already been caught multiple times with far smaller bags. There was absolutely nothing I could do, so He would have to work a miracle.

In response, I heard an inner voice say, "It has already been granted." It wasn't audible but so distinct that I opened my eyes and repeated it to myself, "It has already been granted?" Hmm..., why was it in the past tense? I sat there for a moment wondering about it. Was it because you had already prayed for this Bible run and God already had answered your prayers?

Given the number of Bibles in them, the two bags felt surprisingly light. However, maneuvering the two bags, especially the smaller one being pushed, was tricky. I kept zigzagging, scraped a couple of walls and went over one man's foot.

After clearing the local immigration, I sat on a chair for about 10 minutes as I felt led to do. I prayed with my eyes open while listening to a Gospel song on my iPod, but it wasn't a desperate prayer. It felt peaceful and calm.

I shut off the iPod when I was the 2nd person in line for the Hades immigration, beyond which lay the customs area, and asked the Lord if He wanted me to put the two bags into the scanner. I didn't get the feeling that He did.

After clearing immigration, I headed into the customs area, and paused at the end of the long line for the scanner that had formed. It was then that I felt that I should be walking. So I stepped out to my left and began pulling my bags toward the exit.  >>>
