Please Pray for Amanda

Please pray for a young lady, Amanda, as she believes that Mahatma Ghandi is in Heaven. I met her Sat nite on Mill where she was handing out flyers to help encourage those on Mill to go to a certain bar. When she approached me she stated, "Oh your doing the same thing that I am ! " I said I don't think so as I'm handing out Gospel Tracts so that everyone I meet will know why they need a Savior.

(You do realize that those who had out these flyer's get a fee if someone shows up at the bar with their flyer's. I wonder how many Christians knowing they would be compensated for handing out the Word of God to perfect strangers would be anxious to do so without fear)

This one is about "Which Religion is Right? " She then thanked me for doing that as she too believed in God. But when she looked at tract and she saw all the different religions she proclaimed that they were ALL right. I asked how can that be when they all proposed a different way. They all required that you work or earn your way to Heaven.

Only one states you are saved by Grace. That's when she got a little aggetated with me stated how could I believe that, when God is love and wants everyone to go to Heaven. That's when I asked her if she thought that the people who flew the planes into the World Trade Center are in Heaven? She didn't think so. That's when she brought up Mathadi Ghandi, stated, "Look at all the good things he did, you can't tell me he's not in Heaven!

That's when I asked her if being good was the criteria, would she qualify? She said YES! That's when I asked her if she would mind answering a few questions using God Ten Commandments to see if that were true? She agreed and when I asked if she ever lied, she said yes, I asked what do they call people who lie....here it comes, she said HUMAN! It wasn't a surprise to me as I get this a lot, most people don't know what SIN is. I explained that she had violated the 9th Commandment. I asked if she had ever stolen anything, again she said YES, and called herself a thief. I asked had she ever cursed in anger by using God's name, again she agreed.

So then I asked, would a Holy God allow any law breaker into Heaven? She did not respond. I then explained to her the only way is if we admit that we deserve the just punishment for what we did, repent of them, and place our faith and trust in Jesus Christ alone. His death and resurrection paid the fine that satisfied the Wrath of God that I rightly deserved. That's when I shared with her what Jesus stated "I am the way the Life and no one comes to the Father except through me!"

That's when she got angry and walked away.

Please pray for her and all those like her who have been deceived into thinking that God is only love and because of that He wouldn't send anyone to Hell.

BTW, here's a quote from Mahatma Ghandi acknowledged the inability of his religion to atone for sin. Despite his moral lifestyle and good works, he admitted,

"It is a constant torture to me that I am still so far from Him whom I know to be my very life and being. I know it is my own wretchedness and wickedness that keeps me from Him."

All works-based religions lead to futility and death. It is only in Jesus Christ that sinners can find forgiveness for their sins and deliverance from death and hell.

Young Visitors at ASU

Watch as these youngsters get to hear something that they did not anticipate!

180Movie Project

Today was the day that Ray Comfort from the Way  of The Master chose to have those who are laborers for the Lord go on the attack and confront 300 thousand college students across the USA, by offering them a free 180movie.com DVD, showing a comparison of the Holocaust in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust of abortion in the USA. On the Campus of ASU 20 of us showed up to do our part by coming together to Glorify God by actively confronting the students, faculty, and janitors who passed us by. With all of us spread all over the campus, we were able to give away about 3000 of these DVDs.

 1828 Websters Dictionary states confrontation as: The act of bringing two persons into the presence of each other for examination and discovery of truth. In today's culture with worrying about not offending anyone, I wonder how many of you would apply that definition in your life?

One of our sowers David told us how a security guard told him that someone complained that they felt that the way it was being offered was to pushy. By this time we had been there for about 2 hrs.so they probably new what the DVD contained and wanted to find a way to stop us from handing them out. The guard then told him that several of them were being stacked up on tables in the cafeteria. He was nice enough to ask David if he would like to have them and that he would get them for him.

When he came out of the cafeteria, with a pile of them in his hands, I noticed  David was busy sharing with someone else so,  I went  over to him to thank him for being so kind, going out of his way to help us.  

 I then asked if he would like one but he refused. I then said to him how would
 he know what they were complaining about if he himself hadn't seen what was on the DVD? Wouldn't it be wise for him to know? With that he responded, "good point,"  took one and said, " thank you" .
 

Now comes the part that only the Lord could have ordained!

All 20 of us gathered at the large fountain to see if all the DVDs had been given away.  

This section has a restaurant, music and tables that the students put up to display whatever they want.

I noticed a very young group of kids about 20 of them, probably from 10-13 years old , all wearing the same colored shirts, and a few middle aged guys wearing the same. I walked up to one man and asked if I could show his kids an illusion? 

That's when I showed them that I could make a coin appear from thin air. I told them not to believe it as it's a trick, an illusion and they should examine what they see, as their eyes could fool them. I told them it was a commemorative coin, with the Ten Commandments on one side and the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the other. With that statement they all shouted," can I have it! " This is not unusual, because 99% of the time I get a similar reaction. Think about it, another way of reaching the lost! Contact me and I'll teach you how to do it.

I gave it to the one who I thought was the most excited, as most of them raised their hands as well. I then asked if they knew the Commandments? Now there was silence.

That's when I asked for help from my team to come and record this, as I knew the Lord had brought me here to boldly speak about His Righteousness and Grace, and it would be through these children that I would have the platform at this campus to do just that! 

Friday Night at Phoenix Art Fair

1. I  pray that you read this to the end
2. I pray that you ask the Lord on High to keep us humble
3. I pray that He continues to encourage us to GO speak to strangers who may be lost on the streets.
4. I pray that what the Holy Spirit has done in us that you ask Him to do to you as well

Wow, what can I say about Friday night!!! The Lord has shown us a place, just like in Luke 10:2, where the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. But praise God and the Holy Spirit, that last night His prayers are being answered. Again this was an awesome night for the Lord as 100's of Gospel tracts were handed out. Alan, Erwin, Mike, Philip, Steve, and a couple Brandt and Haley, and another couple Jeremy and Tish and their son Joshua, and another couple Marcus and Kat and Alex. How pleased the Lord must be to see all of His chosen in the family going out to reach the lost.

Here are a few of us who went out to eat afterwards to relax and fellowship, at 2am.

These sowers all showed up with one thought in mind, to intentionally confront those who passed by so that they my have the opportunity to witness to those who may be lost. By offering them these Gospel tracts that ask are they "Good Enough To Get Into Heaven", they are being proactive.  Remember Jesus didn't wait for others to come to Him, He went out into the streets to reach them...shouldn't we be doing the same if we claim to be a follower?

By using His Ten Commandments we can be assured that it's the Word of God being professed and not a man centered watered down comment that God is love and Jesus wants them to have a wonderful plan for their life!

Charles Spurgeon stated: "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 thread of the gospel through a man's heart until you first send the Law to make way for it."

He was called the Prince of Preachers maybe we should heed what he says?

Paul states in (Rom 10:17) So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

I pray that some of you, this includes those in leadership as well, give up just 2 hours one Friday night a month to come out and see what the Lord is doing on the streets. Or how about make a commitment just for every other month, you know like when you commit to attending a Bible study. Is that too much to ask to do for the One who sacrificed His life so that you could have eternal life?

He commanded us to GO and share! (Mark 16:15), in (Acts 1: 8),(Acts 10:42)  to be His witness. He died not so that we would have a better life, but He died a horrible death to pay the fine for the crimes that you and I and others committed, like lying, stealing, blaspheming, lust to name a few.

His resurrection from the dead 3 days later proved He was God and He warned us that we need to REPENT or PERISH. (Luke 13:3-5)

He performed miracles that drew a crowd to hear His message, we give away these glow-sticks, it draws a crowd and that crowd gets a chance to hear the truth. The glow-sticks are a big hit! It is a non stop request to get one. I can't explain why they desire them but you'll have to come and see for  yourself.

You should hear what those on the street say to us when we ask them if they are Good.

It's sad when you hear someone profess to be a Christian and then get offended because you explain what the Bible says about Law breakers. Or to have some Gay people tell you that God is Love and as long as you love, then God is pleased, even if that love is with the same sex partner.

One would have to ask why would someone who professes to being a liar, thief, and an adulterer at heart be offended that a Holy God must punish that person. Didn't the Bible say that Jesus came for the sick and not the righteous? So why get offended? That would be making the statement that you one of the righteous wouldn't it?

So I'll end with another prayer request, the one Jesus ask for us to do for Him, (Luke 10:2)

"The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."

Saturday night Oct 1st 2011 on the corner of Mill Ave and 5th St. Watch as this youth Pastor has a problem calling sin, sin.

Watch on YOUTUBE as Steven takes the Good Person Test and how humble he becomes when he realizes he is not a Good Person in God's eyes.

Spenser Taking the Good Person Test in Tempe AZ

Watch as Spencer tries to defend his position, knowing partly how to be forgiven and yet hasn't done it.

This man is a stranger who lived in Flagstaff to get his degree from NAU. He now lives here in Phoenix.  I ask, according to what Jesus stated about the Samaritan, isn't this man someone that we all should strive to engage the whole truth  with ?

In (Luk 10:29-37), But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" Jesus replied and said, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. "And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. "Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. "But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. "On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.' "Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers' hands?" And he said, "The one who showed mercy toward him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do the same."

Notice this was a "priest" who crossed the street, a Levite also crossed the street.

What name would you give those people today?

 Is it you? 

Jesus showed them who a true neighbor was.

The one who goes out of his/her way to interact with someone in need.

But it's not just about bodily care or financial assistance, it's about saving souls! Notice what Jesus said in (Mat 18:11) For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

So I ask?

• Do you avoid those who cross your path? 
• Do you avoid strangers?
• Do you only speak to family, friends, and co-workers?

If you answer yes, then are you not like the parable above?

Charles Spurgeon said, "If you have no desire to save the lost then you are not saved yourself...you can be sure of that."

If you would humble yourself and admit this is a problem for you, I pray that you attend one of the Way of Master Seminars...it could help you become a laborer for the Lord, instead of just a pew sitter, with anyone you come in contact with.

Catherine has made this comment since she has attended the seminar several times which she never could have before : 
"I'm a nobody who can share with anybody about somebody who can save anybody"

Wouldn't you for the Lord's sake like to say the same thing?
