First Way of The Master Laboratory April 25th 2009

Praises to our Lord & Savoir Jesus the Christ!

Well, the first Way of the Master Laboratory seemed to be a great success! Those who attended humbled themselves & admitted that they still had not approached anyone with what they had seen from the WOTM seminar they had attended. They still hadn’t internalized the Ten Commandments nor were they comfortable about bringing them up in a conversation.

This was time for all of us to pray, practice, participate, & prove ourselves with this method of using God’s greatest weapon, “The Ten Commandments”!

During the session those who participated continually repeated the questions that need to be ask to help the unsaved to understand why they need a savior. It was stated several times how helpful it was to practice the concept of W. D. J. D., (What Did Jesus Do).

I remembered being told that Confuses stated,” Repetition is the mother of learning “, and in this Laboratory that’s exactly what we did. It was evident from this training how effective it was because of the confidence being shown after practicing with one another several times.

In the beginning of the training most of the participants couldn’t recite the Commandments, but later they became more confident about saying them as well as their numbers, and how excited they became because of it.

I asked one of the men to come up front and then started to explain how sometimes I have seen men hiding behind a pole when they come with us to Tempe. It seemed like they were afraid to mingle with the crowd that forms on the sidewalk. He stated, “That would be me! That he was literally petrified at being amongst a crowd of people to the point of almost passing out. At that point I asked his wife to come up so that he wouldn’t be alone.

I mentioned that instead of hiding, that he come to another brother in Christ and ask that he pray for him and to take away the fear. We can only encourage one another if the one who is in need be transparent and confess the sin. What a blessing that would be to the one who could pray for him, and that way you would not be alone or isolated. Satan wants us to be alone and not show others our weakness. I can’t be sure of this, but it looked like he was about to cry and so was his wife who was standing next to him.

I was pleasantly surprised at what happened next! I saw an amazing blessing from the Lord. Catherine was able to help me critique someone by stating what she hadn’t heard them say as they were practicing. If any of you know Catherine, she is usually quiet. So for her to speak up before I did, was amazing to me. She spoke with such confidence that at first I was shocked, but then well pleased. Catherine’s comments were favorably accepted.

One of them didn’t think it was advantageous to go to Tempe because he wanted to perfect his presentation. The lady behind said, “Okay, here I am practice on me!” While giving his presentation, I video taped him and even though he stumbled he was able to get to the end. This was a giant step as in the beginning I was told, “Not to video tape”.

Everyone commented how well he did. He still wasn’t satisfied because that when he is under pressure his mind goes blank. I mentioned to him that he was able to finish what he started which was a huge accomplishment & that he continue to practice.

I think at that point it helped him understand that we don’t have to be perfect to present this message, just be willing to do so. It seemed liked everyone’s fear was waning because by listening to him stumble it helped them understand that it was okay not to be perfect.

After the training we shared some pizza and what was learned from the training. Everyone was thankful for getting together and appreciated what was discussed. All who came to the Laboratory also came with me to Tempe to watch, pray & maybe even speak.

All the glory was given to God because now present on a street in Tempe were more laborers for His Kingdom. (Luke 10:2) As I watched those who came to try out what they had learned I was thrilled to see some who had expressed anxiety before the training now engaging , One- 2- One, with the lost!

My pray coincides with Luke 10:2, that more of you who have been through the WOTM Seminar now come to the Laboratory.
