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.

Is it true that you just need to "BELIEVE"?

ONLY BELIEVE ?

A young man stopped by to take the good person test, and received his cash for answering the question. When asked if he was good enough to get into heaven, he said, yes!

After taking him through the law he accepted the fact that he was guilty but that he believed in Jesus and was going to heaven, but did not consider himself  a Christian!

He then made an incredible claim, that he also believed in Mohammad, and Buddha!

I stated that didn't make sense, if you say you believe in Jesus then you should also be called a Christian. Believing in Jesus is an exclusive relationship and if you claim you believe in others for your salvation then you couldn't be saved!

At that point he got very angry and shouted at me saying that if I was telling him that the people who believed in those religions were going to Hell, he then threw the money at my feet and yelled, " I don't want any part of your Jesus!"  1 John 5:11-13, 1 John 5:20  

 Your comments welcomed about this.

On a more positive note, Ronnie is a new sower.  This is only his 2nd time out on Saturday night and already he's engaging with strangers!  

Ronnie on the right handing out a million dollar tract on Mill Ave

Praise the Lord for this man! He  now has the courage to share. He told me that since he had read Ray's book and attended a Way of the Master training, he realized that for all the years he'd been claiming to be a Christian he had not been an obedient follower of Jesus Christ. He now knows that he must be out sharing with as many people he can.

Friday Night at the Art Fair

Another Glorious night for the Lord! We had some new sower's come out to reach out to the lost. George & Sarah  from Cave Creek came down to reach out and pray for us and the lost. Alan, my loving wife Catherine, Joe, Marcus, Phil and his group was there as well.

Even our atheist friend Sean and his lady friend setup besides us with their large amplifier to try to over shout our ability to share with those who come to listen.

Joe stepped in front of Sean as he was screaming the answers to the trivia questions and started praying for him. Sarah was behind Sean praying as well. Take this at face value because according to Joe, Sean started to stammer and then went quiet.

I try not to pay attention to what that group is doing when I'm trying to draw a crowd so the only thing I remember was that the shouting from the atheist Sean had stopped. I learned about what Joe and Sarah had done much later in the evening. Praise the Lord for confining those who would oppose the Word of God being proclaimed to the masses in the streets.

Listen as Ryan tries to justify his lifestyle. 1Cor 6:9-10 is very clear!

Reaching out to the lost in Tempe AZ

Saturday night in Tempe was another Glorious evening for the Lord. During one of our encounters in drawing a  crowd with trivia questions a family passed by and the teenage girl answered the question and took her prize of one dollar. I then asked if she would like to take the Good Person Test and she glanced at her father and  mother who really didn't say anything, so the young girl came towards me to take the test. Immediately her younger brother came along side her as well as he too was anxious to get the five dollars that I was offering for the test.

This is the first time that I can remember giving this test to someone so young. I asked her father how old was his daughter, he told me she was 16, so I thought she was old enough to understand what I was about to ask her.

Interestingly enough she had no problem admitting to lying, stealing, swearing, but her brother did. He did not want to admit to stealing until I questioned him further, stating to him that God was present and for him to search his conscience. Remember "Con" is with and "Science" is knowledge, so with knowledge, he was convicted about his sin.  After that statement he admitted, with a smile on his face,  that he had taken things that didn't belong to him.

After admitting that they were law breakers, I asked where would God have to send them, Heaven or Hell?
The young lady replied to Hell... and when I asked did she now what God did for her so she wouldn't have to go to Hell she stated, "He died on the cross". I then asked does that mean that everyone will be going to Heaven? She said no! So then I asked did she know what she needed to do so that she would go to Heaven?  Her response was typical..just try to be good!

I explained what Jesus Himself stated in Luke 13:3, " I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." 

  So trying to be good won't save you. You must place your trust in Jesus Chrsit alone and then REPENT!(have sorrow, remorse, regrett for what you have done that caused Jesus to be crucified.)

Then turn form your sins. Ask the Lord to  help you HATE the sin the way He does, that way you won't be a slave to it. No one does to himself what he hates.

Even though she and her brother failed the Good Person Test I gave her the 5 dollars to show a paultry example of what it looks like on how we are saved. I gave her Eph. 2:8-10, to remind her it's by grace, not of works that we are adopted into the Kingdom fo God.

What happened next I was not expecting. The two of them returned to where their familes when standing and the father came up to me and thanked me for sharin with his children. He then handed me a 5 dollasr bill. I told  him I couldn't take it as it was freely giving to his son & daughter. He then gave me a big smile and said you don't understand, anyone who preaches the Word of God like that in public deserves it, so that I could give it to some else.

Watch as Al gives the same test to Ace.

Friday Night at the Phoenix Art Fair

My loving wife Catherine and I went with Alan to 3rd St and Roosevelt to pass out Gospel Tracts and some bottled water. We met Leigh there and later Mike D. came by. This was Mike's first time with us and we praise the Lord for him coming. He attended a 4 week seminar I put on in July with some of the guys he meets with regularly on Monday nights.

Praise the Lord for placing in his heart to get out of his comfort zone and see how many souls can be reached by being out were the lost are.

Watch Bobby and Chris giving the sign of the cross so to show what they have been indoctrinated with as a means of seeking forgiveness.


Watch Jessica explain that she was born into Christianity as her father was a Pastor.


Here is Ryan admitting that he is gay and then realizes he could be headed for Hell

Husband and Wife taking the Good Person Test

Not too many passing by, but the Lord did send this couple to hear His Word and He opened their hearts and minds to the truth...Glory to God for this blessing!

Watch as this couple at first try to justify what they have done and their misunderstanding of a God that was only loving and forgiving. It's sad that they haven't been told that He is also Holy, Just and a Righteous God who must do what He stated:

"But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."(Rev 21:8)

But after they heard how the Law would have to punish them for what they had done, they understood what it really meant for them to be Born Again. They would have to place their faith and trust in Jesus' death on the Cross for saving them from spending eternity in Hell and Repent, turn from sin. Just trying to be a "good person", wouldn't save them.

In Mat. 18:13, "If it turns out that he finds it, truly I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine which have not gone astray.

If you can hear what the women in the wheelchair said at the end of the conversation," God sent you to us tonight for a reason!"

I post these videos Not to show what I do but to show that any of us can share with anyone about someone who can save anyone, you just need to be willing to learn how to.

Way of the Master Seminar July 24th 2010

Today was a glorious day for the Lord as the truth of the Gospel was revealed to several of those who attended the Way of the Master seminar at Kineo Church in Phoenix AZ.

After watching the 2nd video in the series, of Ray Comfort explaining about True and False converts, one lady stood up and calmly stated, "This was the first time in all the years she has been a Christian that she clearly understood the difference between legalism  and a relationship with Jesus Christ. She had admitted that she rarely spoke to people she didn't know but know can see how easy it would be by using the Ice Breakers from this training and is now anxious to go out to seek and save the lost. (This lady is in her 70"s)

Another man stood up with a surprise in his voice and stated, "There're wrong! I have friends of mine from Churches who have told me that The Way of the Master principle of sharing the Gospel is wrong and shouldn't be accepted, but now that I have heard it for myself, I can clearly see that it presents the truth, the Word of God from the  Bible, and they are wrong in making that statement!"

Another lady stated that she wanted to be refreshed as she had attended one of the seminars about 3 years ago.

Then Joe told everyone that he had been to a couple in the last 6 months and still wanted to hear more. I guess the phrase, " Repetition is the mother of learning" has some truth in it"!

So after the training about half of those who attended came with us to Tempe. This, in fact is the agenda, to get as many people out into the streets to watch how easy it is using these principles, God's Commandments, printed on paper that you can offer to anyone who passes you by. (Luke 10:2)

The place we stop at is in front of the Post Office. Other sowers came down as well, as we were able to fill up the corner with these Saints who have a desire to reach the lost no matter what the cost. Al, who also teaches at the seminar, this time brought a 6' wooden cross, click to view it on his blog, with him that he made, with the words, "Are you Ready?" written on it.

Alan, Marcus, Joe, Leigh, David, Harry and of course my devoted wife Catherine, who helps me put these seminars on. (I thank God for her!)  We gathered together and prayed before turning our attention to those passing by. It was a quiet night very few passing by.

Because the first half hour seemed quiet, Catherine felt the need to pray for more people to accept our offerings of these Gospel Tracts, because the few who were passing by were not taking them. So she prayed that the Lord would send us people so we could hand out the Word of God using our Gospel Tracts. So the Lord was faithful in answering her pray, when several minutes later she noticed that more groups of people were coming by and more tracts were being accepted.

This was David's first time attending our seminar and  coming to Tempe. He was enamored with the magic light fingers that we use to toss back and forth to get the attention of those who are walking by. Several times groups will stop in wonder about us tossing the lights to each other and then we can explain how their eyes can fool them and what Jesus told them they should do if their eye causes them to sin. Now we have their attention and we can politely ask them about the rest of the Commandments that one day God will judge them by and how do they think they would do?

So now David is thinking about getting these magic light fingers for himself and then he too can look like a fool for Jesus! Would you do the same?

I thought I'd share a strange encounter with one large heavily tattooed man, as I have never been told this before.

I was offering free ice cold bottle of living water to anyone who could prove he was a Good Person. He took the challenge and I explained that I would use God's Ten Commandments as the bench mark for his goodness. After asking him if he ever lied, or stolen he responded with telling me he was Michael the Arch Angel, and that he could kill me right now if he wanted to.

At that moment, I have to tell you that I believed him, because of the look in his eyes and him leaning towards me. I can only attest my calmness through the Holy Spirit as I immediately responded with yes you could, but, you can only kill my body as my soul is already sealed with Jesus Christ in Heaven! (Mat 10:28)

He backed away mumbled something and I asked if he would like some ice cold living water? He said okay,  I asked if he wanted one for his girlfriend, he said, Yes",  I gave him another bottle.  Please pray for this "Arch Angel",  that the demons release Him and like Paul, he finds the truth in the Gospel of Jesus Christ who can save him for eternity.

Several hundred Gospel Tracts with God's Ten Commandments were handed out this night, so please pray that by His Grace many will understand why they need a Savior.

I just got this information today and felt compelled to share it with you.
This is a link to a video that shows police in Dearborn MI. on June 19th 2010 arresting Christians for sharing with Muslims. They were accused of provoking a riot but watch this video and let me know what you think. ( What is this county coming to?). Check this video out
