I can hear the “uhhh hello?” in my head right now. Wow!, though. Luckily your dad was around!
Whenever I feel spiritually attacked, I envision dragging satan by his neck (because I am WAY stronger as a child of God than he ever could be!) to the cross. Let him gaze upon his eternal humiliation, as Jesus conquered death by resurrection. Amen!
Greetings from the UK Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Mindful of a softly softly approach, I try to slip signposts in where I can to conversations. Just this morning I sent this to my line manager…
Hi,
Our chat with Catherine today reminded me of a new site that impressed me yesterday.
Incidentally JD Farag is a great minister (16 years) who blends sincerity with humour conveying God’s word. We’ve been viewing his sermons for some time on YouTube.
I was struck with how their (tidy) forum structure might work for research collaboration University wide providing comfort in unusual times, confidence and supportive/inspiring KE in an array of areas, monitored and supported by faculties and RBI. Broad categories for discussion, then loads of Q&A.
Take a look and see what you think?
…
In my email to a colleague yesterday, following a tricky chat we’d had about end times, I rounded off by saying…
“Don’t worry, I’m not losing the plot! Just trying to keep up with it as usual! There’s only one plan and it’s a good one……with one winner. I would venture that forewarned is forearmed and we do well to be awake, keep an open mind, alert and watchful so as not to be deceived. We cannot put our trust in man only God. Deceit is often mixed with the truth to confuse us which is why we must be vigilant and well versed in the truth”
…
I am at peace and not unnerved or shocked by developments but often feel downhearted and powerless to save lost souls, so always pray for guidance and the words through the Holy Spirit. I don’t have the confidence or charisma to do this on a grand scale so I’m hoping little nudges when I get the opportunity will bear fruit and grow. Unlike Covid, anything above an r rate of 1 is good right?
This week I invited a friend over and shared the Gospel. She believes in what the media pushes down our throats, but I just hope I planted a seed. I shared with her the ABCs, salvation and conveyed a message of hope.
I trust God will do the rest .
On another note, I had bold conversations with my husband who has not taken on Jesus as an integral part of God, nor does he believes he died. He does find him a great prophet, but that’s it. I have to be patient. It breaks my heart to think he could be left behind, but if that is the case, he will know the Truth and the Truth will set him free. Just now working on leaving proper studies and alike behind. Will do the same at my office.
Hang in there @Seoullessginger . It is not easy. God knows your heart, though. Pray for the Holy Spirit to be present in your house and your heart that you get to speak the rights words and the right time.
Listen to that voice inside of you. Pick your moments. And at some times, all you can do is to show love.
Hey Chris @fluidicice
Yes, that’s her. Right from the bat the told me: the masks work! So it was a little difficult to start the convo, but she and I are real good friends, so she was open to what I had to say and respectful.
I told her before she went home: don’t you dare think I’m a looney! We laughed. She’s reasonable. I hope the conversation sticks. The next day she texted me thanking me for the fun time we had, the lunch, but I sensed there was more to it (in a good way).
These are crazy times at the moment and we’re not sure how much longer we’ve got left till His return.
Therefore I’d like to encourage as many of you as possible to do something this week to reach people in your area. That might be:
Having a chat to a friend about Jesus,
Mailbox dropping flyers or business cards,
Coming alongside people who are struggling amidst the crisis and helping them out,
Funding a Christian themed Billboard locally,
Posting Bible verses on social media.
Perhaps my ABCs megathread will give you some ideas? (I recommend printing some business cards to give out)
My friends whom I chatted with now keep me on a low fire because I can’t stop talking about the rapture and Gospel. It’s a bummer but the Lord will take it from there.
I love the work you’re doing Jam! @JamNL
It’s truly incredible the number of people you’re reaching in the community! I’ll continue to pray that the people who finds the cards are nudged closer to Jesus!
@fluidicice
Hi brother Chris. Thanks for starting this thread. Want to thank you for all of the great Tract templates you have designed and shared with us. Such a blessing, God be Praised for encouragement to reach the lost with the gospel. So thankful and encouraged by the things others have been sharing too. Really blessed when Pastor JD shares with us testimony of what others are doing in the Bible prophecy update. Always a great blessing of good news to the glory of the LORD.
Have been passing out movie card tracts from Living Waters so people can watch the free video on YTube. I was able to use some of your Christmas tract design (modified) to place on bottles of hand sanitizers. My husband wanted to pass them out to first responders.
It’s getting more difficult to pass out tracts at the grocery store because some of the cashiers won’t accept it (I think work policy related). Keeping an eye on new ideas and ways that are workable for us, etc. God bless.
Maranatha
@JamNL
Praying for you and your husband to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. In faith, I believe he and our loved ones will still be able to be saved after we are raptured. He will know that it happened as you have shared with your husband. And the resources you’re preparing to leave for him will help him see the Truth.
You are a blessing servant of Christ Jesus our Lord Redeemer.
I’m a pet sitter so I don’t talk to many humans, but I’ve been leaving gospel tracts in the cylinders at the bank so the next person in line will get them. I also give them to the people that gather and bring my groceries to the car, along with their tip.
