Street preachers have different methods, truly different preachers whether it be in house or street preachers have different methods in their teaching to get through to people and some preach on the streets and even in open traffic districts while others preach on a beach. Why is preaching on a beach important because this is where sin starts in the mind . Somehow when people have their clothes off and people see their natural bodies you know bikinis men with just bottoms people do think sexual even men mesmerized with sexual fantasies starting in the mind. Sin starts in the mind as they say. For example you have hollywood making movies that have people acting out evil beings and characteristics and people copycat those things and go out there and commit gravious heinous crimes. The heart is abundantly wicked and the jewish messiah we refer to as Jesus as gentiles said that a man must be born again or he won't see life. John 3:3 He is the life and the resurrection but what does that mean to somebody who thinks their believers. In other words they believe on/in his name they claim to follow him but their life is not a reflection of the life of his true followers which are called saints. So being late in the a.m. Saturday I'm up and have taken a look at street preacher Adam from Team Jesus Street preacher ADAM is preaching on the beach and he's having or trying to have a conversation with a woman that told Adam she's older than him and that he's doing it all wrong because Jesus was love and was very kind and Adam is trying to educate her on the Bible which she appears to be in ignorance of like a lot of counterfeits/lost people are. So Adam brings up some scriptures to try to educate the woman that Christ wasn't always kind and that reminded me of a specific scripture from John 6. There are many signs of a counterfeit Christian. They will argue and are totally oblivious to false teachings and how they destroy a human soul. The Bible says: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge I will also reject thee, . In John 6:24 remember after Christ fed the multitude he knew there were other instances too when people weren't interested in real change/belief and this was no different so here is what is written 24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
Eventually they found him and he knew the reasons why they were seeking him. Remember he knew their hearts including his own apostles and followers that were close to him. 26 Jesus answered them and said , Verily, verily, I say unto you , Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and "were filled" .
You can say well he's being nice to them he's being blunt with them why they were looking for him not because they were interested in truly believing in him they just wanted to be filled with earthly handouts such as the miracles they witnessed. Just like a lot of people who claim to know him but completely deny him in their works/lifestyle this is why so many perish including on the day of judgment when the multitudes probably will hear I never knew you and the words he says on that day cursed into the everlasting fire is not kind nor does it seem loving because these people are evil wicked worthy of eternal damnation. So he gives them a lesson that many people don't understand because their hearts are hard and they love all the wicked ways of life and people heap up teachers that tickle their ears and tell them what they want to hear.
27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed .
In other words what you eat on Earth goes into your belly and it may give you nourishments and all these things and then it comes out in the drought but what de-files a person is what comes out of their heart. So he gives eternal life because he is the resurrection and the life. He said a man must be born again remember or he won't see life. John 3:3 He will give them the new birth. He is the resurrection and the life. So once you're a new creature in Christ all things are made new and now you have a new nature and should have understanding because he gives it to you which you had not before when you had a hardened heart. You're no longer interested in following the world because if you do this you become the enemy of the true God as written in James 4:4. And you yourself are aware of the change.
35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Coming to him is one thing but remember he said people honor him in vain having him on their lips but their hearts are far from him. Remember this instruction from God himself 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye HIM .
Many just want to be filled with worldly things that perish but they don't really listen to him no real fruits stored for heaven. Many people like counterfeits their lives are full of all manner of iniquity but they refuse to see or to hear. They don't really come to him for the right reasons. Remember he said when you truly listen to him you will bear fruit. He came to give sight to those who can't see and take it away from those who think that they see. Such people they see not and they have been blinded some of these people by the god of this world.
Afterthoughts and after notes: you know there are people who eventually see but so many to put it bluntly are world sucking hypocrites that serve two masters and think flawed he Christ is okay with this because he's love. They have the wrong understanding because the wages of sin is death and that doesn't change. There was coverage once of a professor I think he taught religion/history who tried to educate the class on certain religions and a certain group of people like this woman Adam was preaching to made the professor extremely upset and he threatened to have duct tape go around and seal their mouths because they were causing trouble in the auditorium where he was teaching. I think they were thrown out anyways and the teacher might have gotten in trouble even reprimanded in some way. The heart is abundantly wicked and street preachers come across these people all the time who think they see but they're blind as a bat/death to really hear and headed for eternal damnation.
