About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"SHARING JESUS WITH EVERYONE" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
SHARING JESUS WITH EVERYONE
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT JESUS IN PUBLIC, ISN'T IT STRANGE HOW PEOPLE REACT? I CAN REMEMBER WHEN I WAS TRAVELING, I WOULD STOP IN A GROCERY STORE AND WHEN SOMEONE WOULD ASK ME "HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY?" I WOULD SAY "I AM HEALED IN THE NAME OF JESUS" OR "JESUS IS BLESSING ME EVERY DAY". EVERYTHING WOULD GET VERY QUIET.
SINCE I WAS A SALESMAN, I HAD OVER A HUNDRED CUSTOMERS THAT I CALLED ON EVERY MONTH AND SOME TWICE A MONTH. I NEVER HELD BACK WHEN IT CAME TO TALKING ABOUT JESUS AND EVERYONE KNEW THAT I WAS A CHRISTIAN. AFTER GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER, WHEN THEY WERE SICK THEY WOULD ASK IF I WOULD PRAY FOR THEM. I AM SURE SOME OF THEM THOUGHT I WOULD SAY, "SURE I WILL" AND THEN FORGET ALL ABOUT IT WHEN I LEFT. NO, I WOULD PRAY FOR THEM RIGHT THERE IN THEIR SHOP OR STORE. THE REALLY WONDERFUL THING ABOUT IT IS, SOME OF THEM HAD FAITH TO BELIEVE AND WERE HEALED. AFTER THAT, WHENEVER THEY WOULD BE FEELING BAD OR ONE OF THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS WOULD BE SICK, THEY WOULD ASK ME TO PRAY FOR THEM, AND I DID. THE THING WE HAVE TO WATCH IS TO BE PERSISTENT BUT NOT PUSHY. WHEN WE FORCE OUR BELIEFS ON SOME PEOPLE, IT JUST DRIVES THEM FARTHER AWAY. JUST DON'T COMPROMISE.
ANOTHER THING THAT WAS A LITTLE FUNNY IS THAT WHEN I WOULD WALK INTO A SHOP OR STORE AND SOMEONE WOULD BE TELLING AN OFF-COLORED JOKE, THEY WOULD STOP AND APOLOGIZE TO ME IF I HAD HEARD ANYTHING BAD. AT LEAST THERE WAS NO DOUBT AS TO WHERE I STOOD WITH JESUS. .
NOW DON'T GET ME WRONG, I AM NOT TELLING YOU THIS TO MAKE YOU THINK I AM SOME KIND OF A SUPER CHRISTIAN. THERE IS NOTHING SUPER ABOUT ME. I JUST LOVE JESUS AND I WANT TO TELL EVERYONE ABOUT HIS LOVE FOR US. YOU CAN DO THIS ALSO.
I AM SURE A LOT OF BAD THINGS WERE SAID ABOUT ME BUT I REALLY DON'T CARE. IT IS GOOD TO BE PERSECUTED FOR JESUS' SAKE SO I CAN REJOICE BECAUSE OF WHAT JESUS SAID IN MATTHEW 5:12 "Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." WHEN PAUL (THEN SAUL) WAS PERSECUTING ALL THE JEWS, JESUS ASK HIM WHY HE WAS PERSECUTING HIM. WHEN PEOPLE ARE SAYING BAD THINGS ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING, DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY, THEY JUST DON'T LIKE JESUS. NO MATTER HOW BAD IT HURTS YOU OR HOW BAD IT MAKES YOU FEEL OR HOW BAD IT HURTS YOUR BUSINESS, JESUS WILL MAKE IT RIGHT. HE ALWAYS DID FOR ME AND HE WILL FOR YOU.
SO KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND MENTION JESUS EVERYWHERE YOU GO. IF PEOPLE CAN TALK ABOUT THEIR GODS OUT IN PUBLIC, WHY SHOULDN'T WE. OUR GOD IS STILL ALIVE AND THEIRS ARE DEAD. I LOVE TO ASK THEM WHICH THEY THINK IS MORE POWERFUL, OUR LIVING GOD OR THEIR STATUE.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
