Stone Age or New Technology

 Al , Alan, Marcus, Joe, Ronnie and myself came out to seek those who may be lost. It's by the Lord's  authority and blessing so we know that we have to pray before we encounter them. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.  (Eph 6:12)

Shortly after we were prayed up, we started to implement the new tools that the Lord has prepared for us in this time frame. It saddens me to see so many who claim Christ still living in the "Stone Age"! (I'll explain later)

We have these  "Light Fingers" to draw them away from the bond of Satan for a little while so that they can hear the truth about Jesus Christ. (Would you be willing to be a fool for Jesus?)

These Light Fingers are rubber fingers like those that were used by people who count money, but inside they have a tiny battery and light that when you squeeze it it lights up.  We stand on opposite sides of the sidewalk and throw the imaginary light back and forth to each other. You should see the looks on the faces and they walk between us. Some will even duck as they pass by so as not to be hit by the light.

One such group of about 8 well dressed young ladies stopped in awe, as what they were seeing they couldn't believe. As soon as that happens,one of us will go up to them and show them that this is an illusion and that their eyes could fool them...they always agree.

Now is the perfect time, as they are now curious about what they saw, and we can recite a script from the back of this new technology. Ray has designed two curved cards, one red card and one blue. When these two cards are held together they look the same size, but when you separate them and move them from left to right, the red one looks bigger then the blue one.

The fact that they believe their eyes can fool them we then ask if they would sell one of their eyes for a million dollars. NO, is what you usually get, (unless they are teenagers, then you have to lower the amount because they would sell one for a million), we then ask how about 10 million dollars for both eyes,  NO again.

Now we give them the reason, we tell them that their eyes are precious to them aren't they? They always respond with a YES! Now we are  free to tell them what Jesus said in  "(Mark 9:47)  "If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into hell.  We now tell them if that's true let's look at the other Commandments He gave us.

When they were asked had they ever lied, all 8 said yes, when asked if the ever stole anything, several stated that the were Christians. I then asked does that mean they have never taken anything that didn't belong to them? They all said NO, I then stated so if you broke God's Law would just saying you're a Christian save you from God's Wrath?  With that several grabbed their friends and said they had to go. Our guys gave them all million dollar Gospel tracts and asked if they would please read them. as they were walking away you could hear them say, "Thank You for sharing"

So maybe, just maybe using the Law as Paul states in (Gal. 3:24) we are able to help them understand. (check out 1 John 5:20)  One of my favorites from Charles Spurgeon:

I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach Law.  The Law is the needle, and you cannot draw the silken tread of the gospel through a man's heart until you first send the Law to make way for it.

I hope you can see by using up to date technology we are able to reach those who are lost. This group of young ladies did not have a clear understanding of what it means to be Born Again. If it weren't for the Light Fingers they never would have stopped to listen to us. If we were to use Stone Age technology and just preach to them, that Jesus loves them, they never wold have stopped to listen. Read 1 Cor. 1:18

Soon after they left Al and I started throwing the lights around again and this time a family of four stopped to watch. We gave the sane message. I hope  you can see that this way of sharing, using these state of the art equipment, just like we no longer use typewriters, we have computers with word processors.

I'm sure you would agree that if you don't have a persons attention you can't share with them. Ray Comfort from The Way of the Master has several eye catching items to help you reach the lost. Million Dollar bills, Red & Blue illusion cards. A card that says if you don't think you need a ticket to get to Heaven then tear this up...and they can't. One of my favorites is a shinning silver coin with the Ten Commandments on one side and the  Gospel of Jesus Christ on the other, just to name a few.

Help me out with this one, give me a good reason why a follower of Christ would resist giving out of these coins, or any of the unique tracts to everyone you meet?....I don't get it! Do you realize how many people we could help find their way to the Cross...talk about a revival!

I pray that you would contact me if you're not doing everything possible to reach out to save those who have not received the undeserved gift that you have.
