When the Word of God is proclaimed under the Holy Spirit\u2019s guidance, it brings conviction and salvation. Eloquence may inspire briefly, but only the Spirit-empowered Word transforms hearts.<\/p>\n
Petros was an Iranian man living in Cyprus with his wife, Shiva, and their sons. Having left Iran years earlier in search of a better future, the family had known hardship. When serious heart problems left Petros unable to work, and doctors across the region refused to operate, the situation felt hopeless.
\nDuring this difficult period, Petros began attending a local Orthodox church. He did not speak much Greek and expected to understand very little of the services. What happened next left him unable to explain it for years.<\/p>\n
As the priest began to preach \u2014 in Greek \u2014 Petros heard every word in Farsi, his mother tongue. Not an impression. Not a paraphrase. His language. His accent. Word for word. This happened not once but on three separate occasions.<\/p>\n
After the service, the inexplicable reversed itself: the priest spoke to Petros and Petros could not understand him at all. The supernatural hearing had ended as suddenly as it had begun.<\/p>\n
Petros could not dismiss what had happened. God had spoken directly to him, in the language of his heart, in a building where no one else spoke Persian. The encounter became the beginning of a journey that would lead both Petros and Shiva to faith in Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
What no translator could accomplish, the Holy Spirit did in a moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth.\u201d (John 16:13)<\/p>\n
