heard a cry so desperate that it
filled my heart with despair.
I“No hope, no hope!” the voice
called. The mournful, hopeless
cry came from a coffin. It was an
endless wail of regret. “Oh, how
awful!” I said.
“Come,” said Jesus, “let’s go
closer.” With that, He walked up to
the coffin and looked inside. I
followed and also peered in. It
seemed that the evil spirits could
not see us.
A dirty-gray mist filled the inside
of the coffin. It was the soul of a
man. As I watched, demons “But before he died, he said that
pushed their spears into the soul
of the man in the coffin.
I will never forget the suffering of
this soul. I cried to Jesus, “Let him
out, Lord; let him out!” The
torment of his soul was such a
terrible sight. If only he could get
free! I pulled at Jesus’ hand and
begged Him to let the man out of
his coffin.
WHY SOULS ARE LOST
Jesus said, “My child, peace, be
still. This man was a preacher of
the Word of God. There was a time
when he served Me with all his
heart and led many people to
salvation. Many of his converts
are still serving Me today.
“But the lust of the flesh and the
deceitfulness of riches led him
astray. He let Satan gain power

“Sometimes, serving is one of the
most supernatural things we can
do.”
God uses the simple things we hold
in our hands to touch the lives of
others. There are three things we
have in our hands that may seem
insignificant, but which have the
potential to become life-changing.
In Exodus 3, God spoke to Moses
out of a burning bush. He told
Moses that He had seen the
Egyptians’ oppression of the
Israelites, and that Moses had been
chosen to deliver them out of the
hand of the Egyptians. Moses did
not feel capable for the task.
God asked Moses, “What is that in
your hand?” (See Exodus 4:2.) It
was a rod. God then told Moses to
throw the rod on the ground, and
when he did, it became a serpent.
Then God said, “Take it by the tail,”
and it became a rod again. That
serpent was a cobra, the symbol of
Egypt.
God was telling Moses that He was
going to use what was in his hand
to take Egypt and shake it. God
used what was in Moses’ hand to
bring and remove the ten plagues
and to open the waters of the Red
Sea.
