Rob Teaches Evangelism

So as my comments are meant to go with "The DAY of The Lord" discussion. (*Some glitch seems to make me type in red font if you are seeing what I see and wondering.) The Day of The Lord is massive in scope and relates to the idea of the King who went on a journey, and He is coming back into His world and by nature cleaning house. The Cain type (anti-Christ, everything goes but Christ type people) who will hold up any number of sins as if God will celebrate their choices have bad news on this day. God will load them in a sling and cast them like a stone so far away they will never be seen again. This is along the lines of what Abigal says to David about her Cain, her husband named? is it Nabal? (This thought I learned from reading one of John Bunyun's works... The title is cool something like "The Amazing Spirit God Gave Man and the Tragedy That Any of Them Should Ever Be Lost." Total paraphrase of the Title that I can't remember, but I loved reading it. Bunyun, likewise seems to be living in an age like today. An age when England was censoring preachers and putting them in Jail for Preaching the Bible. That Cain type of human was in abundance when the flood hit the world and Noah who preached salvation was lifted above the waters. The Cain type (anti-Christ) spirit is ripe now and increasing and they will be cast out of this world when the King comes in. So, the Joel / Acts / Abel affected churchmen of today should be saying to the Cain types. 'We know what it's like to be you, BUT you are loved.' "You are NOT going to hell without me trying my hardest to see you repent and receive Jesus." We should be barricading the gates of hell in our Joel and Malachi anointings and pleading with the Cain's while they still have a slight chance of repenting." THIS in the light of our present world is what is so urgent about The Day of The Lord. It is a great day for the lost, because if we are still talking about it this way, as it has been in the past, THEN there is still more time for the lost to repent and be saved. Once it hits its fullness it's already too late for them. We can tell them it is bad, but they won't listen. We can tell them about Jesus, and they might.

Thanks @not an echo for the welcome and the comments. Also, I should add, and you can comment that just after I said the words ... "I said, "I WISH I COULD HELP GOD GET SOMTHING HE WANTS" and at that moment the Holy Spirit poured like a waterfall down on me" I heard in my mind a voice reply to me clearly, "Seek yee first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness." My first response was interesting as I had never been, met, known, or heard about any experience like mine. I had not met or heard of a charismatic or Pentacostal believer. Even when I relate my testimony to the leaders in those movements, they say it is so rare to know anyone having such an experience without someone praying over them or laying hands on them etc. So, on the Joel passage the and the Acts passage with Peter my humble result was similar. I was baptized, then within the next year I shared the gospel to over 1,000 people even crowds of people young and old and a majority percentage would pray along with me to accept Jesus... Among those I reached that year many went into ministry as Kingdom builders and are going strong to this day. So, my first life verse is Matt 6:33 and I took it to mean this that when I said apparently myself, "I WISH I COULD HELP GOD GET SOMTHING HE WANTS." The Holy Spirit seemed to be waiting for me to ask this and responded to me with a scripture Matt 6:33 that I had learned when I was 10 years old. Further, I took it to mean that He was saying 1) Yes there is some kind way to help God get something He wants done. 2) He wants you to help share that He is King, and He has a Kingdom that He has a first priority for it to be understood by everyone everywhere. 3) He wants everyone who joins the project to know that it is RIGHT meaning a truth that matters and it is spread best through sinners made right by the righteousness of Jesus Christ. 4) Confirmation was granted that as I went on to obey these words and the laws of the King as set forth in the Word. The confirmation was that as I went forward, He has "added unto" me all that I need to walk that path.

Hi Not an Echo. I think it is Amazing to me to say to you that the part of your testimony that begins way near the top of this thread. The part that goes "This is how I felt when I was 25. Though I was saved when I was 10 years old, at 18 I had moved away from home and went down the path of the world." My testimony is pretty identical to that meaning our ages and feelings match. I could say, "This is how I felt when I was 25. Though I was saved when I was 10 years old, at 18 I (Rob) had moved" off to CSU university "away from home and went" and found myself over the hypocrite fence joining the hidden population of closet Christians walking "down the path of the world." So, when I was 25 'Godly sorrow that brings repentance was upon me.' AND the Joel experience kicked in for me. (It is also the Malichai 4 type awakening.) At 25 nothing in the world had meaning, the world was a let down. I was at the point of realizing that nothing in the world I did with my life would or should matter to God. When I was 10 I dreamed of being a fun-loving Christian guy at 25 and I was NOT even close though I had the dream job, my own place, rich friends. I was a self-proclaimed party animal and I was unhappy. I there alone in my apartment talking to myself and I apparently said a prayer. I said, "I WISH I COULD HELP GOD GET SOMTHING HE WANTS" and at that moment the Holy Spirit poured like a waterfall down on me and I was changed... Everything massively changed in life. A whole new journey. I began Reading the Bible; believing every word of it was the same as food for my soul and water to my life. I had fruits of the spirit kick in and found myself turned off to the world. Leaving the world, I was talking about Jesus to everyone. I told my employees, my customers, my party friends. I traveled abroad to share the gospel in Russia, Pakistan, Venezuela and more... That was 30 years ago, and I am still enjoying life in Christ. .... ON the rapture I am thinking while it will happen, I think it may happen in such a way to us that the world would hardly know it. I mean imagine if there was a global lockdown and those (who were not removed from this world through the ordinary means) were so few and so canceled by culture that no one would notice if they were raptured. Like a thief in the night, we just vanish. While the unsaved were all looking into their virtual world with their 3d goggles where they are all marrying any beast or alien, we would just vanish and none of them would notice. Or even less dramatic- Meanwhile, on all kinds of social media platforms people are giving in marriage and celebrating their remarriage and there re re marriage to a small shrub... I am saying that while some like Enoch would be raptured and who know the rest of Seth's line perhaps if it remained was thin, when the flood hit and lifted Noah and 7 others above the earth.... So, at the rapture, the sudden calamity might have so much attention that it hardly makes the news. Though I believe the fire, earthquake, 'heaven shake' would knock out all simple communication and the remaining anti-christ population much like Cain would say "am I my brother's keeper?" Only thing is that God has a new POST new Testament Christian... 144,000 tribulation saint arise from the 12 tribes of Israel... They share the gospel millions of people turn to the Lord. The 7 years are underway...
