A Thea Testimony
We received this testimony of someone introduced to Sister Thea Bowman by reading an article about her and sought her intercession late last year and we wanted to share it with you. By the way, she is a Baptist and is testifying about Sister Thea’s powerful intercession. Yes, Sister Thea is still evangelizing!
"I only learned of this powerful Servant of God on Tuesday, November 16, 2021, reading online by happenstance. I later that night read about the impending execution of Julius Jones in Oklahoma, and I was struck by Bowman’s work for social justice and against racial inequity during her lifetime. I was moved by her connection to my home in Memphis and shared her story with my mother. We are a Baptist family, but we discussed her struggle and were moved. That same night, I felt the need-the urge to pray to her and ask for her intercession on behalf of Jones due to his impending death sentence that was going to be carried out against him in two days, November 18, 2021.
I prayed in the morning, at night, all the next day calling aloud to her (Bowman) and the Virgin Mary to come to Jones’ aid and all those oppressed by the justice system. I continued to pray, reminding the angels that I am a Baptist but that he (Jones) needed help and that I know that fervent prayers will be answered. I asked that they touch the decision makers to give him clemency. I prayed all Wednesday night telling no one.
Today (November 18, 2021) at around 2:00pm, that is exactly what occurred. I was really surprised and pleased for this young man who by all reports is not guilty of this crime that someone else has confessed to. I thanked God for hearing me and smiled at the thought of Sister Thea Bowman listening to my plea for someone I do not know.
God bless you all."
