Man encounters God and goes from despair to hope

Last Saturday before we went out on the streets we were praying and asking God what was in His heart. One of the men on the team heard this phrase "What brought you to this conclusion about God?". He had a sense that we were going to run into some body who needed this question. As we were walking the streets looking for people to love on, we saw a man exiting a beer drive thru. We approached him and asked him if there was anything we could pray for in his life. He instantly began to push us away saying, "Have you heard what is going on in the world today!?" He specifically said he did not want to hear about the goodness of God and was about to get on his bike and leave. We tried to shake his hand and he even refused our handshake.The man who had heard the "phrase" prier to going out on the streets said to him, "You are the guy I have been looking for! What brought you to that conclusion about God?" This question caused him to stop from leaving and he got off of his bike to have a conversation with us. He explained to us how all of the evil in the world today caused him to question the goodness of God. At that point we began to give him encouraging prophetic words and called out the value in him. We could tell he his heart was beginning to soften up and he was willing to let us pray for him. He let us shake his hand and as we prayed for him he began to laugh and said, "I can feel that!" He encountered the presence of God and began to experience hope. We explained to him that he was experiencing the God of all hope. As he was leaving he told us that he was going to begin to open up his heart to God and that we had really surprised him. By the end we both gave him a hug and he was all smiles. He got rocked with the goodness of God!!
