Years ago I was put on oxazepam by a psychiater, benzo's. A guy took 6 marijuana a day. So I said: Don't do that! Danger. Drugs. Bad. And he said: What does it matter? I take 6 joints (marijuana/pot) a day and you take 8 oxazepam a day. They sell that on the black market and it's made from opium. No idea if he made that up or if it's true but I was like: Really? Aaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!! Drugs! Drugs bad! I watched Hal Lindsey. He spoke about pharmakeia, Revelation 18:23, sorcery is pharmakeia. I threw all those pills away and quit at once. They say you have to watch out and take less very slowly. I had been getting them for a year or 2. Didn't care. Threw it all out.

Sorry but what kind of insane aunt is that? Maybe she has the spirit of Jezebel. Let her shut up already. It's not so weird that you're angry, the way your family treats you. You're just angry at the wrong Person. God only wants to help you, but He does need people to work through. Your horrible aunt should help you with money. A preacher once said to me that I had to give the anger to God when it came up. You need to listen to good preachings. I've been through bad stuff and I backslid, I was very angry and full of hate but at people, not God. I knew it's never God's fault. I had to forgive them and get rid of the anger, but you have to realize that it's not God's fault.

We have in Holland a YES NO, NO NO or YES YES sticker on mail boxes. You can only throw em in those with no sticker or YES YES. Nobody with a NO NO sticker can complain when you give them a Christmas card with a free gift from God text on how to get saved though. There are other christians living in this flat now. They left a flyer in the elevator. Wait what? Postage? You throw them in their mailboxes yourself. You don't let the postman do it. That's gonna cost you. And people in big houses too bad. This is only for people who live in flats. Not gonna walk kilometers.

That's not a gift. The gifts is that list. An evangelist is a gift but anyone can just share the Gospel on the street or at least put flyers in someone's mail box. I couldnt say a dumb word. When they kicked me in a mental hospital I asked every patient there if I could pray for them, shared my testimony, lead 4 to Jesus and asked em to go to a church. They said no you do the service lol, so I put an evangelisation video on and they loved it. If you don't care anymore about what people think anyone can do it. I know that. I didn't say you shouldn't be lead by God. There are type A (open) and type B (not opem) unbelievers. You pray with 3 others a few weeks for 3 people you know who are quite open and then you can do outreach. That works. Just ask em over to a house meeting. Don't talk about God. Then ask em to come to another meeting with a christian outreach movie or whatever. That was from Castellanos. It worked but in Holland you get a few people saved this way and almost nobody wants to pray for the lost, but in places like Kiambu you had hundreds praying 24/7 and the whole town got saved. Oh yes of course. You have to be an apostle to start a church and you have to be called and you need a huge team and an income. Otherwise do not do it.

Evangelizing is not a gift for a few. Everyone has to do that. The Dutch guy from Facebook who just stepped out, taught people and got 2000 in. Torben Söndergaard does the same. Teach people to get the harvest in. I meant share the Gospel with everyone. In the end even angels will proclaim the Gospel. Everyone will hear. Everyone has to make disciples and teach them how to obey what the apostles wrote in the Bible. Preachers more than others but still everyone at least teaches their kids. If only the 11 had done it there would now be no church. There are still people called to establish local churches all over the world. It's a system for church growth and discipleship from Cesar Castellanos. The G12. They work with cell groups. This is handy in countries where a lot of people get saved. Great but Jesus didnt come back and it didnt all happen in 70ad. He still waits for the harvest. The whole world will hear the Gospel. Matthew 24:14 NKJV [14] And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.24.14.NKJV Yes that's great if a church functions well. What I have seen often is that everyone has an excuse and it is all dumped on the supposed holy man, the heathen system, just like with a pope. Yes but everyone is a missionary where they live at least. Just minister to your friends. There were not only the 12 apostles. There were other apostles afterwards and there are still apostles. That simply means they plant churches. For instance a couple was sent to Kiambu Kenya. It was lousy there. Pastors fled. There was a witch cursing them. They were the apostles who started a new church. They needed loads of people to pray for the city 24/7 (that is what they mean with everybody is part of the great commission) and then they got revival, because nobody was lazy and everyone did their part and didnt just dump the load on that pastor to pray and evangelize.

If you think America is bad have you seen the Netherlands? But Sodom would have remained if those miracles had been done there, so I have hope for the Netherlands. Ken Peters saw that there would be places in America that would completely convert during the trib.

That is not a specific gift. That can be taught to everyone. He just does it and he teaches others how to do it. The great commission is just get the whole world saved as a church and during the trib there will be no church buildings, but yes there will be leaders and the 144.000 and the rest just does their part. What you now often see is a one man band and the rest keeps the chairs warm. No that's the pastor's gift to get everyone saved. I said to a guy: Lets go pray for the lost. No that wasn't his gift. What kind of dumb excuse is that. He really thought his gift was to fight on internet. He got banned everywhere. I even heard a guy who gave Bible school lessons say, to excuse himself and blame us: Sheep produce sheep and leaders produce leaders. Meaning he preaches a bit an we could do the actual work of getting the harvest in. Ralph Neighbour said to pastors: It's your fault. You have to teach them. But if they're not interested you will get nowhere. That guy has people who want to learn so that goes swell. Unfortunately he's at the other side of the country. I don't understand what you mean. To me the gc is just get everyone saved and do your part. The 11 had to teach it to the rest and that went on and on like Cesar Castellanos does. Groups of 12 and all the 12 have 12 themselves and they have 12. This way everyone gets help, just like with Moses who couldn't do it all alone. If you lead your family member to the Lord and disciple them you're doing the great commission if you ask me. The 11 did not make all people to His disciples. They couldn't reach everyone with 11. The whole church does that. GC is not move to another country. You can throw flyers in people's mailbox how to get saved.

There may be people who can. I couldn't. Corrie ten Boom couldn't either and she was even a christian. She taught me how to forgive. You can't, but you can chose to and then God does it. Her sister died in a concentration camp because they saved Jews. After the war she preached in Germany about forgiveness and after the service a man came to her and asked her to forgive him. He was one of the cruellest guards in that camp. She could not. Her sister suffered there so much. Just sorry okay fine and that's that? But she knew she had to so she chose to and when she moved her hand to shake his she felt God's love flow through her and could really forgive him.

Yes but his was Biblical and it built my faith to pray for the lost. His mother prayed and he got saved.

He would be with us until the end, so the great commission is for the whole church. Yes not everyone should teach but this is simply helping a new believer. You have to disciple your own kids at least and if the whole city all of a sudden gets saved and they need people to help teach them the basics maybe just one on one help someone you can't say no and dump them all on the pastor and a few with a preaching gift. No you have to do effort to reach out to people. If everyone only waits until they ask it doesn't hurry up. People will not always go ask. That guy who lead 2000 to the Lord went to the street and asked them. He didn't wait until they asked him. He even evangelizes on TikTok. The whole church should be praying for the city to get saved and then they have all this material and cell groups stuff for if the harvest comes in, to disciple them and everyone does that. G12 from Cesar Castellanos. I cant even find a church here that prays for the lost. You only say this because we have no revival so yes nobody comes in. What is there even to disciple? That's the old system, the old wineskin. The new one is for when loads of new souls come in.

Wait what? Make everyone to My disciples was given only to the 11? They're in heaven. How do unreached tribes get reached? Not by the 11. Matthew 28:20 NKJV [20] teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.28.20.NKJV Sure He's with the 11 in heaven, but I don't think He meant that. If revival comes everyone is needed to disciple the lost. Ralph Neighbor said that. He had a story about a lot of people getting saved in a church and people were so used to just sit in the pew and never having to do anything and now all of a sudden they had to help. There was nobody else. And it went great. You just give simple studies to new people that are already on paper and lead a cell group. I posted elsewhere here about the revival in Holland in 1750. That was a reformed reverend. All of a sudden everyone got saved and he just had to use lay people to teach them in small groups. Other reverends did not agree. You studied for it. You have to do it. Well he couldn't disciple whole cities on his own. And if you get some accusation preaching that you have to make disciples or else God hates you with no help how to do it then let them go climb a tree. Introverts unite together from your own homes. Share the Gospel online if nobody is ever interested. I was always lousy at evangelizing because I was so shy but you had to so I went and we stood in a mall with tracts. I was too shy to offer one to someone, so I prayed: God please send someone who wants one and a young boy came and said: Can I have one? If you can't evangelize just pray for the lost instead. That's what I always did and do. A guy I met on Facebook who isn't even a pastor but does give Bible studies has lead 2000 people to the Lord on the street in 2 years when they fired him with a group of people who he also taught how to do that. He does it the same as we always did. First prayer from 2 or 3 so 2 or 3 people pray together and alone for 3 type A unbelievers (not difficult ones, but these are quite open to the Gospel) they know, see the book from Lee Thomas how to pray for the lost. You do this a few weeks. Then you do outreach. You just invite your friends at your home with the others. You don't talk about God. Just fellowship. Then you say you also have other meetings, also at home. You show a movie or whatever. That's how we got people saved. Just friends, family, neighbours from people and then easy lessons for new believers, just stuff that already exists.

John 9: 39-41 NKJV [39] And Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind.” [40] Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, “Are we blind also?” [41] Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains. https://bible.com/bible/114/jhn.9.33-41.NKJV

Have you heard the testimony of Ian Mc Cormack? We watched it often in church as outreach if unbelievers were invited. He was atheist, lived bad, got stung by box jelly fishes while diving and was dying but nobody cared when he asked for help. The taxi driver threw him out of his car cause he had no money. In an ambulance he saw his life flash before him. At the same time God had told his mother: Your son Ian is nearly dead. Pray for him now. He saw his mother tell him as a kid that if he was ever in trouble he had to pray from his heart. He said: If there is a God please help me to pray. Then he saw Bible texts from the our Father. He also heard God speaking and also earlier that he shouldn't stomp that guy because it would kill him. He prayed the our Father. God said he had to forgive these people who laughed at him and left him to die. He saw their faces. He said: if You forgive me I forgive them. Then he heard demons say he was in hell and shut up and then a light pierced through it and he saw Jesus. He said: that prayer in the ambulance saved your life and he could chose to go into heaven or return. He wanted to go to heaven, but then he saw his mom who would have thought he was in hell and he saw thousands of other people who would get saved because of his testimony and he chose to return. He was dead for about half an hour. That always gave me a lot of faith to pray for the lost. And it's a great video to give to people. I gave the link to a former colleague who had been in a coma. It's so easy nowadays. You can chat online,share the Gospel and send a link.

Yes I agree but this was an answer from an atheist. You need God to be able to forgive. When I backslid I could not forgive. I had to repent and had to chose to forgive. Then God could do it in me.

He said to me: Don't bother. I can't convert anymore because of that text: Hebrews 6:4-6 NKJV [4] For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, [5] and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, [6] if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame. https://bible.com/bible/114/heb.6.4-6.NKJV I said: How many dead have you raised then? I think baby christians can come back. I backslid myself and came to the point that I doubted if God even existed. Saw a guy on christian forums who said he was saved then atheist now saved again. My dad believed as a kid but wasnt born again. Got saved before he died. His dad was the worst. He protected us against him. He would try to pull people from their faith. He was mad at God because his mother died when he was young and his dad who had a christian school remarried a woman from christian science. He himself went into rosecrucianism a while and then he was just atheist, but antitheist. My mom told him to get saved before he died. Night before he died God said to me: You have the keys. Use them. Tomorrow will be too late. At the funeral my mom and dad said: well I hope he made it. I said: Hope??? I didnt pray 20 years for nothing for that man. God put this guy from that forum on my heart. I was praying for him the whole night and for the husband of a woman there who asked me to pray cause he had brain cancer. I really thought I had been raptured. I was in heaven as part of the bride next to Jesus and He said He would take care of it. If I use my own brain I'd think this was a hopeless case, but that did happen and that dream about those birds. Later a Jewish atheist guy who helped me there was on a small christian forum in the middle of the night, typed from a hospital computer asking for prayer for his dad who was about to die. I prayed for him and believe he went to heaven.

I Samuel 22:1-2 NKJV [1] David therefore departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. So when his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him. [2] And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him. https://bible.com/bible/114/1sa.22.1-2.NKJV Dutch translation says everyone who had become bitter.

One of the guys who owned that forum used to be evangelical. He even preached. He wrote a book similar to that of Richard Dawkins. He fell fromhis faith when his church leaders told him that 9/11 was judgement from God. He was just a baby christian if you ask me. I got treated bad in church, but they taught me right. It's never God's fault. That's why I never got mad at God when I backslid.

I once was so dumb to go answer 200 questions for the believer on an atheist forum, thinking: lets convert this bunch. Oy. Got the whole group coming at me and they were not happy. Mainly ex christians, even ex pastors. I tried. I was praying for them and I got a dream. I saw little birds in snares, loads on tables in a room and then the overseeer left for a few minutes and I quickly let em all free. I just have to keep praying and not lose hope because they talk so negative.

I saw a guy on youtube lately. He was from MTV or something apparently. I know him from the Dutch 80s tv. He's Dutch. He was quite popular here. He moved to America. Now he got saved and he found some great church there. He was so enthusiastic. Amazing.
