It was at a cottage prayer meeting in England years ago. There had been an awakening in the little town and numbers had been brought to the Saviour. Nevertheless, Satan was trying hard to spoil the work and lead folks astray.
One young man made great fun of those who professed to be saved. He attended the little prayer meeting, slipping in by a back door and finding a place to hide so that he might play some trick and upset these praying people. As he hid there, he heard prayer after prayer arise for those who are “on their way to judgment, blinded by the god of this world.” In a moment it flashed across his mind that those words described him. He was lost, on the way to eternal judgment, blinded and led on of Satan. He slipped from his hiding place, took his place on his knees among that praying company, and right then and there he came as a sinner to the sinner’s Saviour. Satan lost another poor, blinded soul, and the Lord Jesus, who died for sinners, set him free, giving him light, joy, and salvation by faith in Him.
