Fire inside

9/28/2012

A man I never met before (Steve) and I headed out with the rest of the freaks to downtown Minneapolis.

I had a fire inside me tonight that I could not contain. I attribute it all to Christ, having been praying over this day for some time.

Tonight I was able to give away five bibles, which is more than I had ever given before. Not that it’s about numbers, but I loved the hearts that God prepared for this evening. There is nothing quite like looking into another human beings eyes while discussing the need for them to turn to Christ. I remember talking to several men and women who admitted their standing with God wasn’t where it needed to be. We were preaching the message of hope in Christ.

One memorable person tonight was a young man I met who was waiting for the bus. I had about 30 seconds to take him through the law, and when confronted he admitted that hell wasn’t where he wanted to go. I left him with a tract and bible and let him know that if he asked God to make Christ’s forgiveness real for him that I would see him in heaven. He got on the bus after thanking us, I hope to see him in heaven someday.

Steve and I met several people clearly hungry after something more than what this world offers. I was so encouraged each time we came across a fellow brother or sister in Christ. I love to send that encouragement back to them, telling them they need to share their faith with others.

Overall the night was so much more than I could have imagined. I didn’t feel like I was going through some formulaic recipe to lead someone into a decision. I didn’t fear the opinion of others. I made it clear to these people that I cared only that I would see them in heaven. Praise Jesus that He provided such great opportunities. I also thank Him for placing me with Steve, who I am greatly encouraged by and who I will now pray for.

All for His glory,

Jason
