A Remarkable Case

StoryTestimony★★★★

I may relate a little experience. In Philadelphia, at one of our meetings, a drunken man rose up. Till that time I had no faith that a drunken man could be converted. When any one approached he was generally taken out. This man got up and shouted, “I want to be prayed for.” The friends who were with him tried to draw him away, but he shouted only louder, and for three times he repeated the request. His call was attended to and he was converted. God has power to convert a man even if he is drunk.

— D. L. Moody

The point

A drunk man's genuine conversion in a meeting proves God's power to save anyone, even at their worst moment.
