September 16, 2016 by John Wright

Canon Street, Winchester

On 10th September 2016 I was walking down Canon Street. I had copies of my booklet, The Road to Jerusalem, with an Introduction by the Headmaster of Winchester College, to give to any College boys I might meet on the street.

As I passed the door of an 18th century house I heard a great rattling. Keys were being turned in two locks, the door handle, a strange sort that needed to be pulled sideways, was heaved and shoved, but still the door remained closed.

I stood to watch this commotion for some time. Then I had a thought that I should open the door. So I pulled the door handle, the door flew open, and I was confronted by an astonished young couple.

Then the Word of the Lord came to me:

‘Jesus is the door to heaven. You cannot open the door by your own efforts. You need the humility to ask Him to do so, as he has just done for you today, as a sign of His grace and mercy.’

The couple, somewhat stunned, then received a copy of The Road to Jerusalem and walked with me a few yards before going in to another house.

As R. L. Stevenson said, ‘Judge not your day by the harvest reaped, but judge your day by the seeds sown.’

About John Wright

John Wright is a director of ‘Full Gospel Businessmen’s Fellowship’ and is renowned for his fearless engagement in personal evangelism. He has also produced a DVD on ‘Talking to Strangers’.

From a privileged background, he is also no stranger to the police, having served time in prison for a crime he strongly denies which got him into the Guinness book of records for the longest trial ever!

God, however had a plan and John was able to use the Holy Spirit to heal fellow prisoners and over 40 of them came to faith!

Although firmly believing he was wrongly convicted, he never harboured a grudge against the police service, and founded the stoppacoppa society - an initiative to encourage everyone to show appreciation for police officers, by stopping them in the street and telling them!
