Over Refreshed

I sat on a couch outdoors one day. The time was about 2 a klock on the afternoon when a policeman came on to me. He just stood there so I turn my face upp to check what was going on. He checked me out and when I was about to ask him he said

- young man you appear to have had an over refreshed time here on the couch

- Excuse me I said and quickly went on ,- what do you mean by over refreshed

-ya I mean you look affected on substanses and I think you have had to much alkohol he said

- So that makes me over refreshed like too well feeling god

- now, Here me out. It's not nessesery to make a scen out of this

- no of course I said and felt missunderstanded. I went on and said ,-I thought you ment what you said and I hade just have one beer to lunch and sit here and hang out

- hang out and sit alone he grumbled . He thought for himselves "Over refreshed" what do this young man mean by that he wondered. He curried himselves and ask me what I thought about over refreshed when he asked me the question

-clever man i thought to myselves and said -can you be more than refreshed healthy and feeling god and when you mixed your opinion with alkohol it sound a little funny and like a pun.

- the policeman thought for himselves and suddenly like he came up whith all solution of all problems he said -it is very funny in deed when I think about it like that. How can it be like this he asked

- I am sitting and talking whith Jesus and I am very meticulous whith words and Gods Word in particular and between Him and I is the word over refteshed a very positive word. When Jesus do me over refreshed it is a total monument of truth and feeling good is an understatement and nothing outside the law even if I should be even more over refreshed when I already am

- hm his thinking was nearly as loud as you could her him. He was like- 'you sitting here and talking whith someone and I am retracted to this as if it was ment to be'

- Exactly you now more than I first realized I said. Have you ever here about Jesus before i asked

- in matter of fact I really have here about him he said

- If you have you also now about Petrus and the others which been acoused of inebriation and the people thought they where drunk. When they in fact had recieved the holy spirit and was talking in other tungs. They said also that they where over refreshed. Petrus told them it was only in the morning still they may have a glas of wine in the evening.

- yes I now the story but not in the way like you present it he said.

Now he stood a little leaning back and was swinging forward and back with his arms oround his back like someone who want to hear more. So I went on and said that this Jesus hade sent his spirit and make a person carefree like a person with alkohol in his system. He nod with his head as in not to interupt me as I went along with my preaching and I said

- The churches has the opinion that even if Jesus say it is ok they think it is somehow wrong anyhow. Thats why I sit here and enjoy myself by the name of my lord. Thats is why you came by me and now stands here infront of me. Becouse you have an open heart and have asked about Jesus. He brought you here

- - Is that really possible he asked and said it was exactly like that in his life that I told him. In teory in all cases he adderad to ceep his distance

- - I understand, you are in duty right now but it's ok to talk with me becouse I am a pastor and take often time with people who want to get saved from this malicious world and the eternal death of an individ.

- - What shell I say I want to ask so man things, but not now how or what, he said

- -you want to be like me and be as over refreshed like me and blessed like me Isn't so? And feel healthy as a man can feel? Even if your friends think you are over refreshed.

- -yes I want that. The hole package

- -lets pray I said

- -there and then this policeman got saved and born again in great hevenly graise. He got so happy and he glowed and was shining. And he said

- -I want that you have. What ever it is

- I praid once again and refirmed to his confession to Jesus as his lord and savior that he already hade recived and give up his understanding of lingvistic nolledge and like a child transfer his tong to his new born spirit. He said ok and as I laid my hand and relised his tung he started to speak in other tungs.

- -He confessioned again but now he said that he was pretty drunk and no one hade any need to tell something else obout the situation becouse we were talking loud and passionate

- -what is your name?

- -he said Ludvig

-my name is Thomas i said and in the same time we hear his name shouting out loud from a distance, Ludvig!

The shouting came from his colleges who was free from dutu this day and hade been selebrating on a pub near by

He was about to stand on his feet but I draw him down again and said to him

-altho they were on the influenses of alkohol i didn't want him to look bad in his uniform and be in discomfort so I told him to be alert

-do you gays have a good time he answered them.

-Yes we realy have a good time and tell him to take care as they wobbeled away

When they were gone away I asked him of his contact details

When we seperated he on his way and I on my way we turn and looked at etchother as we went away from this couch that had started the process

-take now care of yourselves he said and I couldn't be more sadisfyed in that moment when I saw that policeman in his uniform trying to walk as strait as he could. I also know that Jesus has his blanket over a man when he get over refreshed in the spirit

After a couple of days I here my name spoken from someone as I was walking downtown city

-Thomas he said and I barely regegnize Ludvig as he was in casual clothings. There he was with a great smile and had his wife hand in hand

-I have told everyone about Jesus and now Gunilla is also saved.

- Yes I am, the wife said

-I asked Ludvig if he told Gunilla that she could be over refreshed to

-Yes i have. That is for shore

-she lafted as she was going down but they grab eatchother and just stood there in graditude to the holy spirit

They looked so in love with eatchother and I always going to remember this policeman and his family now that we are in heaven and remember the good times. That was something special and a very special time in our lives

Thank you Jesus for your whimsical ways…
