Precious brother hello and God bless you and all that you attempt to do for His glory and the building up of his kingdom in Christ's name
Brother when God first called me to Evangelize and still at times it gets to me,you give the Lord's Word,you tell man the truth and all u feel you get is either ignored or a alot of hostility and anger throwed at you.
And many a time it would just get to me so bad I would sit and cry , I had began to take it personal and the Lord showed me otherwise
You see we are to give His Word faithfully, tell the lost amen about our precious loving Saviour, and if they dont want to believe it or receive Him all we can do is pray for them and go on.
But we can rest in the promise that God's Word does NOT come back void.
Maybe that person didnt receive it that that time but God would use it in the days , weeks,months or even years ahead to Minister to that lost soul's heart.
You see we cant put God on our level or discredit what He is well able to do and what His Word is well able to do.
About 7 or 8 years ago I knew a young woman and as we were leaving work that day, the Lord opened my mouth and I began to speak to her about the love of God and how to be saved. we stood under a big old tree in front of our work in the parking lot and she said yeah nor nay.
After that I moved to another state. three years later after moving back she came up to me and said I never forgot what you told me that day under that tree
I am a Christian now.
You see no matter if we feel they have believed, received or anything else, we must continue on and not get disheartened about it. God will use His Word that we speak to minister to that persons heart, so we do what He says and leave it with Him.
And also the Lord spoke this to my heart one day about this very thing
He is a merciful and loving God and He wants ALL to know about His great love and sacrifice of His precious Son, Jesus Christ
and if a person that we tell rejects that word, and dies in their sins, this same soul will NOT be able to stand before the Lord Jesus Christ our Righteous Judge and say
YOU NEVER GAVE ME A CHANCE TO BE SAVED
And the Lord will speak out your name and say, didnt my servant so and so tell you about me and my love for you?
God wants ALL to know about His saving grace, whether they receive it or reject it, He wants All to have a chance to be saved for His Precious SOn died for ALL.
God bless you my brother and keep up the good work.who knows how many countless souls you have already led to the Lord? One day you will know in heaven.Amen and Amen

praying for you. when sims game first came out, they had an off topics board. We often talked about God and I was able to answer questions.
But, you are right you do get verbally abused, for standing up for the truth.

Hello all,
Recently, I have been frequenting the Yahoo Answers forum under the category of "Religion & Spirituality". Boy does that name not tell the story of what really goes on in there.....
There are so many non-believers and self-proclaimed atheists in there.....it's too many to number. I get blasted daily for answering questions in a Godly manner and from a biblical perspective.....in other words....I tell them the truth and they don't like it.
Please pray for wisdom.....so that I might be able to point even just one to Christ. Pray that the Holy Spirit will penetrate their very souls like He did to ours (Christians) and point them to the truth.....which is Christ.
Thank you in advance.....may God be praised!!
By the way....if you happen to wander over to that website, you can find me with the same exact screen name as I use here in the BBS.
