Obeying God and not man, Part 1
If you commit your life to the Lord, and if you are hearing God’s Voice, and doing what He says, God will not only watch over you and protect you, but the things the devil is trying to do to harm you, He will turn ultimately to His Glory. There is no question, my time in prison was foreknown by God and transformed my life. When I was arrested, I was an unknown Bible smuggler – because you couldn’t talk about it, even the passengers on my tour bus didn’t know we had 2 tonnes of Bibles hidden in a secret compartment where their luggage was supposed to be... But when I came out, it was to a blaze of publicity, because Harold Wilson used the publicity for his election campaign! And three days later my denomination asked me to speak to 10,000 people in the Royal Albert Hall in London at their Easter Convention. And after that, for two years I travelled the world telling my story and winning thousands to Christ – because everybody wanted to know why the British Prime Minister got me out of prison. I wouldn’t be doing what I am now if I had not been in prison.
