I’m here with Jenny and Darlene and these gals, I just want to stay off camera. I just want to get to know you better. You have so many stories. So there’s 30 million Christians. I mean, real Christians, born again, Christians on their way to heaven. 1% of us are sharing our faith. Why are you part of that 1%? What prompted you to start sharing your faith, getting out of your box, out of your comfort zone.

00:26
You know,

00:28
I have to say,

00:31
I have to really, really be honest here.

00:35
I’m not. I’m convicted that I don’t share my faith more than I do. So am I. Yeah, and I feel like all of us can have that but, but there are lost people out there. And for me, it’s a personal thing where,

00:50
where, God, put somebody right there, and it’s almost like, I know it’s like a prompt or something. I really can’t put my words in it, too. I know you can actually just jump into something and start witnessing to somebody, but there’s a guy that used to come by, and he’s a homeless guy, and I don’t know what it is about this guy. His name is Alex. I sometimes go looking for him just to see if he’s okay. And when I see him, I’ll hug him. And I know that God wants him. Yeah, I don’t know why I know that, but I know it. And there are people throughout life that I feel like have been there, and I just know, like this person, God’s heart after you, and he’s hard after everybody. But there must be people. There must be something divine that God knows. That’s somebody that you can, that’s the Holy Spirit. And when you’re when you’re witnessing, oh, my goodness,

01:45
if everybody could just get this. If ever it’s almost like you have to do it to know it. But when you are, thank you, when you follow the word of the Lord, that nudge, when you do it and you step out in it, there is no, nothing on earth more exhilarating. It’s like this. It’s like this. It’s like when you do it, if anybody out there actually goes this way and does this, let me tell you that you will realize what you were born to do. You will know it. It’s like, once you do it and you see the power of God in it. And it’s almost like

02:23
you said that when you’re witnessing to somebody, that’s what almost gives you faith. Because as you’re witnessing, the faith rises up in you. And it’s almost as if a supernatural faith rises up in you, and then you see the that aha

02:40
moment in the person you’re talking to, in that that fire in their eyes, and that, oh my gosh, I have never, I’ve never heard that before. Maybe I’ve heard it a million times, but not in that way. You find things come out of your mouth. You don’t even realize you said, oh, and I can’t repeat it. Give you he’ll give you the words to say. And you wonder where they came from, right? Yeah. And Is that not amazing? Do that again? No, because that wasn’t me. That’s right, that’s right. It’s amazing. What could I Where did that come from? And they’re crying,

03:15
crying, then I’m crying.

03:19
There’s nothing in life that matches that. If you’re not, if you’ve not experienced that, you don’t understand what I mean to be a Christian. You may be saved. You may be in your heaven, on your way to heaven. There’s no joy, there’s no purpose in your life. This is what being a Christian is all about. That’s why He said, That’s the great commission, you know, in Isaiah, 43:10, he says, I appoint you as my witness so that you will believe, so that you will believe, so that you not them. I would have said, I appointed my witness so they believe. No, he said, so it’s you believers. What does that do for your faith? What does that do for your faith? It’s just overwhelm. Can anybody take the reality of Jesus Christ in your life? There’s no way, take your head off. It doesn’t matter. Cut me up. There’s no, God is real. My doing now it’s your testimony. That’s my testimony. Yeah, it’s not what I heard, it’s what I saw God do through me. Thank you. Thank you. Yes, that’s powerful. That is powerful. You guys, so special. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very precious. Thank you. God. Bless you, both. You too.
