“Honey of the Barn” is in her fifties, has cancer and has been assigned to hospice.  Honey’s sister, “Supreme Conflict”, contacts the Project about Honey’s salvation, wanting me to speak with Honey before she dies.  I ask Conflict, “What about you?  Where will you go when you die?”  She responds confidently that she is Catholic, she does good, and that she hopes she will be in heaven. 

Supreme Conflict is a successful real-estate agent, is always busy, and working from her car as we are speaking.  I search for Conflict’s “receipt” (The Holy Spirit) as we talk, challenge her on a salvation experience, to which she has none, and bring her salvation to the center of the conversation.  The Holy Spirit does not reside in her house, despite her own religious claims.

Once she realizes she is not free of the condemnation of the law of God through Jesus’s blood, her hope turns to doubt.  I ask a closing question, “Do you want to secure your eternity and know Jesus today?”  She replies “Yes,” pulls her car over to the side of the road and we pray Jesus into her life. 

As far as Honey of the Barn is concerned, Supreme Conflict thinks it may be too late, “She has not been responsive the last couple days” she tells me.  We establish a plan of prayer because All things are possible with God.  She will pray for a reprieve in Honey’s condition and monitor for a chance for us to talk with Honey about her eternity.  In the meantime, Conflict is also interested in me coming to her home to speak to her husband.  She doesn’t want her husband or children to go to hell. Amen?
