While waiting for traffic to move on Bell Rd, my eye caught a driver just ahead of me to my right waving his hand out his window saying something. I rolled down the passenger side and heard him ask me, "Does conflict of interest apply in the business world?" I heard it but didn't understand really what he wanted and then the traffic started to move. So I shouted back that if he wanted my answer to pull into the shopping center ahead. I got out of my car and approached his passenger window and again he asked the same question. Puzzled, I asked, " Why are you asking me that question and why would you care about my answer?"
He told me that he and his girlfriend, who was sitting in the back with a little baby, were arguing about it as she was working for two different companies who did the same work. He was telling her that it was a conflict of interest and she shouldn't be working for both companies.
Again I asked what made him think that I would be the one to ask? He stated that when he saw me, (you're going to love this) that he thought I looked like a wise man. I was surprised at that answer and then gave him my answer about it.
I replied that I thought that maybe he wanted to speak to me because of my license plate, "IM4GVN", as I saw a fish on the back of his car and wondered did he put it their. He said no as it was their when he bought it. He then asked what did the letters mean, and I told him it meant , "I AM FORGIVEN"
He asked why, " What did I do to need forgiveness?" I told him that I used to think that I was a good person. Then I asked if he thought he was a good person, he said yes! I then asked if I could test that by using God's Ten Commandments to see if tit's true? He said, "sure go ahead"
He admitted to lying stealing, blasphemy and lust. With each answer his head bowed down as if he was sorry for what he had done. I asked how did he think God would find him, innocent or guilty? He said guilty, I asked where would God have to send him Heaven or Hell? Again with his head bowing down, quietly he said, "Hell." (Now is the time to ask the most important question.) Does that concern you? He said, "YEA!"
I then asked if he knew what God did for him so that he wouldn't have to go to Hell?
He then said that he asks to be forgiven, as he remembers being taught that in Church, and tries not to do them again. At that point I asked him did you not say that the lady in the back is your girlfriend and that the baby is yours? Again his head bowed down as he softly answered, "yes" and then said that when I mentioned about lust it really made him think about what he had done.
I then explained that asking forgiveness was not enough that he had to have remorse, regret, Godly sorrow for offending a Holy God. It's called repentance, so that you would hate the sin as much as God does and not do it again. The only thing that could save him was to place his faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone. Once he did that he would receive the Holy Spirit and be born again.
At this point now I'm sure that the Lord had lead me to this man, as he then asked, "Asked me do I teach others?" I told him yes, as I have a free seminar planned for March 26th. He then said that he would love to come to learn.
Please pray for this man, Kim and his girlfriend, as they now have had the opportunity to see themselves as God see's them, not good, (Isa. 64:6)
Though it's not a pleasant experience, it's better to find out now when you still have time to do something about it rather then to have to face a Holy God after you've taken your last breath and have no defense because you tried to get in on you own and that would leave you guilty .
I give thanks to the Lord for sending Ray Comfort to our country and giving him insight on how to teach anyone who claims to be a follower of Jesus Christ how to speak to perfect strangers about their eternal destination.
For the first 8 years of claiming Christ as my Lord I shared only with my immediate family, a few friends, who after giving my testimony told me they were glad that I found something.
I can't remember ever speaking to anyone else who crossed my path. But in the last 6 years after taking The Way of the Master Training, I have interacted with over Ten thousand people! I pray that you would want to be a laborer for the Lord as well. (Luke 10:2) ,(Mark 16:15) (Acts 1:8)

Saturday Night with Catherine
Catherine & I arrived later than normal on Mill in Tempe, as we were invited to a ST Patrick's dinner and didn't get there until 9pm. I must confess, we found it difficult to head down to Mill after the dinner as we came home to change our clothes. I go often and I had to force myself NOT to stay home and just relax after an enjoyable dinner. We could have found lots of reasons not to go. Al, Alan, Marcus and Ronnie were already there passing out tracts.
Catherine had taken a large handful of the million dollar tracts, about 200, before we left for the dinner and commented that she would like to leave around 10-10:30, as she had a lot to do Sunday and wanted to get up early to get them done. She stated that she probably grabbed too many tracts as she couldn't see how she would be able to give them all away in just an hour.
Time certainly fly's when your having fun and just past 10 Catherine mentioned to me that she only had a few tracts left and couldn't believe how many people passed by her accepting the free gift. Once they take she always pray that they read later and that the Lord would open their hearts. She was extremely excited as she now realized that just being obedient, as she really didn't want to go to Mill so late and to leave early, and yet the Lord blessed her and lifted her spirits as to how successful she was just because she came out to the street.
One young man stopped to asked her about what she was doing handing them out and she told him it was a Gospel Tract and if he read the back it was worth more then a million. He read some of it and then stated he knew Jesus and sometimes went to church. He also spoke of how when he messes up he asks for forgiveness and knows that God is loving and forgives him.
I then asked him how often does he ask to be forgiven and he stated several times a day. I then mentioned that I didn't hear him saying anything about repentance, since Jesus stated in Luke 13:3, that unless you repent you all likewise perish. Paul makes a similar claim in 2Cor. 7:10, For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.
At this point he started to explain how he really wasn't willing to give it his ALL, as he liked doing what he was doing and when that day came that he would be willing to give up his life style, he would accept all that Jesus required of him but not yet.
I tried to explain to him that maybe the Lord brought him to us tonight and this is the time for him to humble himself and to repent of his sins, have remorse, regret for offending a Holy God and not do them anymore. To consider asking God to have him hate the sin as much as God does, because you never know when you going t take your last breath.
I asked if he remembered the student who was killed here on campus a while back, he said yes, but just then a young lady came up to him who obviously was intimate with him, snuggled up to him and said lets go. He left with a smile and said see how hard it is?
A few minutes a group of four came by and took a tract from me and when they realized we were sharing Christ they stated that they were Christians, and didn't need one. One had two large black circular rings embedded in his ears with several nose rings as well. I don't understand why the youth of today think they have to defile their bodies.
After a few of his comments about how loving God is and He wouldn't send anyone to Hell. I then asked if he considered himself to be a good person, and would he mind using God's Commandments to validate it. As usual he said yes, and then I asked the other guy and the two ladies to take the test as well. The two ladies answered quickly about lying, but the man with the earrings refused to answered and only replied with that he was saved by the Blood of Jesus.
After a while he commented that I sounded like those people who believe that I was chosen by God and NOT of my own free will, and he didn't want to talk to anyone like me because we were spreading lies. The God he believes in, which he himself sought out at age (7), is a loving God and would not send anyone to Hell. The lady next to him then stated that the questions I was asking was not what Jesus would do and that I needed to show more love.
When I asked her had she ever read Luke 18:18 where Jesus Himself used the Commandments, she said yes, but the way to share with others is to do it as she does. She explained how she sat on a bench with a homeless person and just asked about his life. She could see how amazed he was that she would sit with him. She told him how she was sexually abused growing up as a child and had a lot of anger and bitterness in her. When she accepted Jesus, also at age (7), she forgave her molester and became a Christian. After her sharing her experience with this homeless man she made an amazing claim, that he accepted Jesus and became a Christian.
I then asked if I could summarize back what I heard her say? It sounds like if I have had a horrible experiences in my life, been molested, no money, relationship breakups, then all I need to do is accept Jesus, because He loves me and I will be saved.
I then asked her what would I be saved from, as it appears that God has burdened me with unimaginable situations when I have done nothing wrong. Then those of us who have not been molested, have adequate finances and a well rounded relationships don't need to accept Jesus? That's when she said it was a waste of time taking to me and they left.

Our New Banner Asking "AreYou A Good Person"
Here is our new banner that helps to draw those who think that they "Are A Good Person"
 Below is where we hung the banner in front of the Post Office on Mill and 5th St in Tempe  Using this concept groups of people would stop by and claim that they were GOOD and what test would they have to take to receive their free souvenir? This presented a great opportunity to ask them if it where okay to use God's stanadard to see if they qualify as being GOOD! Each one of these groups said no problem. It truly is amazing how many who claim to be brought up in church when they admit to be a lawbreaker state that their God would not punish them for violating God's Law. Here are some of the more popular responses:
God is Holy, Just and Rigtheous and must punish the wicked otherwise He would not be a True God. The only acceptable answer for the forgiveness from God is for them to Repent, (have remorse, regret and a Godly sorrow for violating a Just and Holy God), then place their Faith and Trust in the only one who can save them, and that is Jesus the Christ. When that happens the Holy Spirit indwells in each one of us whom He has called to be adopted into the Kingdom, and as Jesus stated: "Come follow Me and I will make you fishers of men!" Fishermen don't sit in the cabin next to the lake they get out of their seats and go where the fish are. So if your having a problem fishing please give me a call, and prayerfully with the help of the Holy Spirit we can help. |

Friday Night at 3rd & Roosevelt
Friday night was freezing cold, yet some of us braved the low temperatures and showed up at 3rd & Roosevelt to reach out to the lost. It was mentioned to me that no one would be out because of the cold, but how would we know for sure unless someone went out there. So Alan, Ron, and I got there around 8, and a little while later Mike D. Showed up and a little later Steve T. showed up from the church I used to go to.
It was exciting to see these two new men from different churches, get out of their comfort zone to learn how to reach out to strangers. Steve sated that he wanted to come to my next seminar, and is committing to coming out with us a least 2 times a month.
Again the streets were flowing with hundreds of people. Praise the Lord for giving us the desire to conquer our doubts about the freezing weather.
I did a few open airs and was saddened to hear how the youth of today, those who stopped by to take the good person test, seem to have no conscience! When asked if they ever lied or stolen, they respond with laughter and pride, and when asked what do people call someone who does those things, they said, "human".
One stated that it would be okay to kill someone who was a very bad person. When I asked what standard would he use to validate that, he stated,"none", he would just know who was very bad.
As the cold night wore on the 5 of us we're able to hand out hundreds of tracts.
Thankfully I was able to give one young man a Bible. After I was finished sharing God's Ten Commandments with one of his friends he came forward and asked some great questions about what I had just said. I asked if he had a Bible at home he said no, so I asked would he read it if I gave him one, he said, "yes".
Yes, the Lord willing, the 1st Friday of next we will be there. My pray is that some of you can join us so that you can have the blessing we get by knowing we are being obedient and faithful servants of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

WOTM Seminar 1/29/11 and Beyond
This seminar went very well as the Holy Spirit was with us, as those who attended were on fire to learn a way that would help them reach the lost.
Besides watching the videos that show us how successful it is to use the Law to reach out to the lost, they also humbled themselves by standing up and recited the commandments and the words that went with them.
Al gave a presentation, just like he does when he meets people. They were able to follow what he was saying from what was given to them on paper and that made it easy for them to follow along.
This was the first time that everyone who attended came with us to Tempe at night
Later that evening I was told by some that they spoke to more strangers about what was necessary for salvation then all the years they had been a Christian.
Praise be given to the Lord fro helping those who came to be what He prayed for, "LABORERS": Luke 10:2

A night to Glorify the Lord Jesus Christ
Tonight was an amazing night. I got an email that a friend of ours 18 month old son, Addison was in the hospital. Catherine and I went to visit and found the boy was improving...Praise God. We were able to share with several of the hospital staff including the volunteer person who escorted us to the room, as we gave her a Million Dollar Gospel Tract for taking us and explained that she needed to read the back to find out if she was GOOD enough to get into Heaven.
As we were leaving, I asked a man which way to go to get to the exit. He was kind enough to give us a long explanation of all the turns we needed to make. With that I gave him a million for being so helpful and then he stated that he would take us to where we needed to go. While walking I asked him who was he here for and he told me about his 5 yr old daughter who was in for over a month and had brain surgery removing a tumor. Now at the door I showed him that a silver coin can appear from the chrome handles of a wheelchair, and gave it to him explaining that it was a commemorative coin and that it had the Ten Commandments on one side and the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the other. Then an amazing thing happened...he asked if I would come back with him to show what I just done to his daughter.
I looked at Catherine and we both said yes. When we got to the room the little girl was sleeping and several of the family members were there. So at that point we gave each of them a Million Dollar Gospel Tract. The man's wife then asked if we could come back about an hour later as they would have to wake up their daughter to get her ready for before she would go to sleep for the night. With that request, how could we refuse, so we left to grab a quick bite and came back about an hour later.
The little girl was now awake but I could see she was sedated, but she did give us a slight hand wave to acknowledge our presence. I showed her the coin trick and placed it in her hand as she could barely raise her hand. The father and mother were very appreciative that we came back, so that's when I showed them the pink & blue illusion cards again, in more detail. The wife was enamored on how her eyes where fooling her and then I walked her through the Law and the consequences of violating them. I summed up that all the religions in world were false representation of trying to get to Heaven.
Some religions pray to a priest to have them forgive them of their sins as I was once Catholic and that's what I was taught by them. But now my eyes have been opened and I now the truth. So that's when I told them the only way that I can be accepted into the Heavenly Kingdom was that I needed to repent of my sins, lying, stealing, cursing, and lust to name a few, and place my trust in Jesus Christ alone to forgive me. A nurse came in and we were going to leave, but that's when I was convicted that we needed to pray over this little girl and I asked her parents if it would be okay and asked them to come close to there daughter and we all laid hands on her and Catherine and I prayed.
Now comes the amazing part that Catherine & I got a kick out of. I hope you continue and don't stop reading yet. The father asked me what my name was as he really appreciated us being there. Now here it comes. Your going to love this...really, he said his name was Moses....Moses! So now I can say I finally met Moses!

A Cold Saturday Night in Tempe on Mill Ave 1/8/2011
Tonight Al, Catherine, Ronnie, Marcus and Joe were some of the faithful sowers who came out on this cold winter night in Tempe on Mill Ave, to reach out to the lost.
I purchased some Glow Sticks which lite up when you bend them and they glow with different colors. The light at night attracts some who are walking past us at the Post Office where we hang a sign, “Are you a Good Person?” We explain to those who stop that we are giving away Glow Sticks to anyone who takes this test.
Lyquinda and Marsherrie, were one of the first to stop by after I mentioned that we were giving away this Sticks to anyone who would take the Good Person test. Lyquinda responded quickly, so I told her that I was going to use God’s Ten Commandments to she if she was, not my opinion or the world’s point of view. She agreed and then I asked if she had ever told a lie as the ninth Commandment God said that we were not to lie. She smiled and stated that everyone lies, I agreed but then reminded her that this test was about her and not the other people in the World. She then said “yes”, and so it went as I asked her three more, which she admitted to breaking. The 8th, stealing, 3rd Blasphemy, and finally the 7th, where Jesus explained that even if we lust after another person we have committed Adultery with that person in our hearts.
At this point she became a little more agitated and stated that she didn’t like where this was going and now was not liking me very much. I then asked her if she had ever heard the phrase, “Don’t shoot the messenger, but listen to the message!” It was a real blessing for her as her friend Marsherrie spoke up and said, “ yes”, as she had heard her Pastor explain it. Marsherrie then made an extremely encouraging comment. She told her friend that she should listen to what I was saying and be thankful that it was being explained to her.” Praise the Lord for Him bringing these two ladies to us and pray for Lyquinda to have the Lord help her recognize what her sins are and repent from them, and place her trust in Jesus Christ alone for the forgiveness of them. Just as they were leaving Marsherrie said to me “This was the most extremely important message she had ever heard and she thanked God for bringing me out onto the street tonight to speak it to them!”
I gave another test to two young men, Tabby and Alexander, who are in their early 20’s, who both after admitting being guilty of violating God’s Law proclaimed they would be declared Innocent because God is a loving and forgiving God, and wouldn’t send anyone to Hell. I then gave him a courthouse scenario, how a good judge must punish a law breaker. I also explained to him what it meant to “REPENT “ to have remorse, regret, to be sorrow for offending a Holy God. The young man Tabby then proclaimed that he knew all about Jesus and His death on the cross, but was not willing to turn from his life style as he liked it the way it was. He then made an amazing comment. He might repent of his sins when he was in his 40’s.
I then asked him how long did he think it would be before he would die? He pondered for quite a while and then stated around 70 or 80. I then asked had he heard about the shooting deaths in Tucson where several people were killed, one a little girl age 9? He said he had. I told him that he really couldn't tell me how long he might live as he could die tomorrow and then where would he wind up as he just admitted he wanted to keep on sinning for at least two more decades.
His demeanor changed after that comment as I could see in his face the realization about what could happen was now real. I asked him if he would read some other information I had and when he went home tonight that he get on his knees and ask the Lord how he could redeem himself from desiring to please Satan, with his continuing sinning, and instead please the Lord by having a changed heart that would be pleasing to Him, and then truly repent of his sins, and place his trust in Jesus Christ alone to save him from eternal punishment in Hell.
And so it went for most of the night, as I was able to interact with several people that night because of the silly Glow sticks. Please consider learning this simple Biblical principle, God’s Ten Commandments, on how to reach out to those strangers who pass you by everyday.

They are possibly being mislead and need to hear the truth!
