This site has amazing articles. I think it has amazingly loving, genuine and purposefilled people participating in it.
I ponder today, what really counts RIGHT now..IF What I believe to be shortly on the horizon is true. What do I really want to study? Or do I want to study anything? Maybe I should be 'doing', maybe I should be just sitting and being calm- as I know who holds the future AND I know the future... on earth.
I know that we talk about not 'expecting' to go. But I think that is a matter of heart...and that Paul would've liked us to know where we ARE going without question. That's what Christ sent him to do, to show us how to stand firm in Christ KNOWING our salvation.
I just resigned from the board of my church, because it feels like that is not important right now. Church activities such as ice cream socials, gospel concerts, youth activities...just feels so 'Business as usual" right now. No Spirit leading. Mankind's traditions are fixing to come to a screeching halt for believers!
I feel strongly that we need to increase our communication through prayer right now. My prayers have become more vocal and more active, in my body language with my hands, pleading while asking, explaining, as pouring out my perplexities to one who I feel closer to than ever!(partially thanks to this site☺️). Giving thinks the whole time, that I know who I pray to- and that there is nothing HE isnt capable of and knows my heart and loves people more than I do. I'm Asking the Holy Spirit to pray for me when I don't know whether people are believers or not, and sometimes aren't, yet they want me to pray for them as if they were.
I'm asking to be emptied of all my agenda. Trying to be empty enough that he can use me without reservation/holds on my end. I have to work, but I don't want to work. I eagerly wait for someone to come through the door at the office that I can evangelize to.
And today it happened. A stranger walked in the door to sell me something, and I told him to come back in October if I was still here. He asked me if I was going to sell out, and then I laid it all out. It felt wonderful! He asked a few questions and took it in. Maybe he'll go back and say I'm a kook! But when he tells somebody else about the craziest thing that happened to him today, someone will hear that message and it'll mean something. Somebody out there was meant for that. Send me or bring them to me! I just want to be prepared by being empty of me and full of his light, spreading that the God of Heaven has laid out a plan in the Bible, and as a Christian , I believe every word of it!

This site has helped me tremendously to get my head wrapped around things enough to do what I did today. Let's use this site in this way and be ready to talk about whatever comes up and point them to The reality of Jesus.!

I agree. I have had a number of similar experiences, truthseeker. I am highly motivated to reach people with the Gospel. I see it as the last leg of the race, and I just want to win some souls. We had a great outreach yesterday afternoon with the apartment children. One little boy I talked to was so close to being saved, but then his daddy came along looking for him. I explained to his dad what was going on, that we were sharing the Lord Jesus and His salvation with his little boy, and the dad was very thankful and said he knows the Lord, so I turned the boy over to his dad to go talk at home. The dad came out of the apartment a few minutes later and happily reported that the boy's grandmother was showing him how to be saved.
My kids and I have been giving out hundreds of tracts.

Wow truthseeker. That's a powerful message. Very proud of you for sharing with that solicitor. It only takes one act of faith to change the whole world. For all we know that man ends up becoming an evangelist in the Tribulation. I'm so grateful for this board and community because you all know the Savior and you know the mission. We are in a war and we intend to win. |

That's what I'm talking about. BTW, I so appreciate a street evangelist who actually preaches the Gospel like Paul, Barnabas, and John Mark rather than those boastful legalists that run around screaming to repent or burn. Paul and company boldly preached the Gospel of grace like you're doing. Proud of you brother - I don't yet have your boldness. |

Amen, truthseeker, watchmanjim, and Gary! I've been telling my family and my husband's family what I've been learning about the Revelation 12 sign and the possibilities of what it might mean in fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Before I mentioned it to them for the first time, none of them had heard anything about it. And for that matter, none had even heard about the Great American Eclipse coming up, either--and that has been much in the news around here. I'm hoping that when the eclipse day arrives, there will be a great opportunity to share more with them about Bible prophecy--and neighbors, too, who might be outside while we're watching the event.

What can we do NOW?
Well, share the gospel.
I have made some memes that I share online, in the style of the work done by Ray Comfort at livingwaters.com.
Here is the link to the ones in English.
The photo attached is an example of one of the rainbow style. (See below)

It appears that my caffeine has not soaked in good yet, because for the life of me I can't figure out how I put photos on here before. When I figure it out, I'll attach one.

 And, finally, here are the multilingual of the above, done in the lightning style. These were machine translated, so they might not be perfect, but from the responses thus far, they seem to get the point across. There are 38 right now.
