Street-Preaching: The Battle of the MIND...

Earlier today, just past 12:00 noon this afternoon, I was led of the Lord to go street-preaching His Word (King James Version Holy Bible [KJV]) on Hillsboro Street after I crossed over from Hoffman...

I was having a "bad day" today and felt depressed and under "psychological mental attack" from the Enemy.

It was nice, and sunny out, a good sunny day and really nothing to complain about; but I just felt bad and in a crappy mental fog of "distress"; like the Enemy really didn't want me out witnessing today...

By His Grace I just "fought" out the mental fog and did what I could do "physically-speaking" and "moved on body" on the way and went out to witness His Word.

I kinda just "mumbled under my breath" at times in fatigue. Really wasn't "feeling it" today. But in all hindsight purposes I think the Lord is teaching me to PUSH THROUGH the PAIN and not go by what "feels right" at times but by WHAT I BELIEVE HIS WORD SAYS.

I could've just say "screw it" and not bother about street-preaching today; but then I KNOW I would REGRET IT LATER and be even more angry and upset with myself. Thank God I just DID IT. Amen.

So, walking up Hillsboro Street and holding up His Word; I'm mindful to hold the Bible to my chest as I also point it up to the side of my head to be "symbolic" in body language saying "Trust God [Bible] in Heart and Mind".

Another thing the Lord has done spontaneously in me physically is that I outstretch both of my hands raised up together as though I'm about to "hug and embrace" someone with the bible held in one of my hands as I fold in my arms together as though I'm "hugging and embracing" an invisible person while I'm making direct eye contact with people passing by driving by in their vehicles. It's like God's Way of saying "I'm here, come to Me all ye who look for the desire of your heart. I love you and want to be close to you. I'm always here for you when you need me." GOD is wanting to embrace sinners of whom I am chief.

I went by slowly, just "staggering" along walking up Kress Street on the sidewalks, passing by a Hispanic family having a yard sale up front of their house and finding shade underneath the leaves of a few trees as I made my way to the library.

As much as I wasn't really "all there" mentally as I street-preached His Word, I knew God was working mightily in me judging by people's more "positive" and "receptive" reactions to the Message He had me delivering.

For as the Lord saith, "My Grace is sufficient for thee. For my strength is made perfect in weakness." and I sure was WEAK at that point. I was in WEAKNESS. I didn't feel like doing anything in particular, let alone "ministry" but I had to FORCE my physical body to comply to the will God known in my mind.

As Christians, we have to TRAIN OUR FLESH to do what God wants us to do even when we don't always "feel like it". It's not easy, and sometimes we fail. But we must ALWAYS keep doing the BEST WE CAN by HIS GRACE. We must NOT "give up".

Alright then, about to "sign off". 'Til next time, God LOVES you and so do I in JESUS' NAME.

Amen!

"Gotta SAVE 'Em All!"

Hello, hello, hello all... It's been quite a "fruitful" eventful days lately... A lot of stuff is coming into transition.

Today, Tuesday, August 2, 2016 I got to "redeem myself" and witness the Gospel of Jesus Christ (KJV 1 Corinthians 15:1-4) to three different individuals today! GLORY BE TO GOD! Amen!

Last night, I was hoping to go to Monday Night Prayer with elder brother F. at Calvary Christian Center Church but I "messed up my own timing" because I was too busy cooking and eating dinner too late at the time I should have been out the door...

Yep, it was a FAILURE and MISSED OPPORTUNITY on MY PART to be a witness for Christ street-preaching as I made my way to Monday night prayer...

Man, I HATE that and the thing is I have ONLY MYSELF TO BLAME! I have to TAKE RESPONSIBITY FOR MY OWN FAILURES and DO BETTER THE NEXT TIME. Amen.

I absolutely HATE and LOATHE missing out on opportunities lead by the SPIRIT OF GOD to witness Christ to the people. But I digress...


So, I was walking down Hoffman Street around 11:20a.m this morning and saw these two Hispanic woman lugging their personal belongings in their suitcases to someplace. As I approached, I walked over to them, and gave them each a "Jesus Christ LOVES You!" Gospel of Jesus Christ gospel tract.

The young teenage-looking Hispanic young woman with long blue-dyed hair and nose and lip piercing said "Thanks, you have a wonderful day" in astonishment.

In like manner the older, mature Hispanic woman (possibly the younger woman's mother or aunt/ related family?) said "Thanks as well".

I guess they were not expecting that, and neither was I directly. Just APPROACHED in FAITH without even really consulting the Lord on this one and the Lord answered my faith with acceptance! Amen!

So I make it over to the library and clean up my sweaty face in the bathroom; walk out and head over to give a "Jesus Christ LOVES You!" Gospel of Jesus Christ gospel tract to a young Hispanic man covered in tattoos who I always see as a local resident walking and roaming around the streets... People may call him a "thug" on the outer appearance as I kind of assumed as well, but it never committed my attention. I don't care what kind of "person" I witness too; I like all people. God LOVES everyone and wants all people to be SAVED. Amen!

He's all, (as I slowly walked over to hand him the gospel tract) "Alright, alright..." as saying that in the sense he probably should have turned to the Lord a long time ago.

Either way folks, it's ALWAYS best to TURN TO THE LORD LATER than NEVER! Amen!

In fact as I'm typing this a group of four rambunctious young Hispanic kids playing this wildly popular "Pokémon Go!" game are carried away in these wicked enchantments.

I'm definitely no stranger to the popular entertainment franchise of "Pokémon" since my childhood (call me a kind of "expert" lol) as I hope to personally elaborate on, God-willing, in future articles and posts and perhaps even a YouTube vid down the way...

Yeah, a whole lot of things I'm planning and hoping to get around to... *IF* it be the LORD's WILL. Amen.

Girl says "I'm so blessed!" I say "No, you're blessed because of the Lord not the game". Smh... she was getting so "immersed" and obsessed with the "Pokémon Go!" game that it was making these kids run, jump and look under the tables to "catch some 'mons"... Smh lol, it's really SCARY in the end of it all.

Just like I warned the boy of the group (it was one boy and three girls in this group of kids) not to get too "addicted" to this game that he might run out into the streets to catch some "rare", exotic Pokémon as in the gaming franchise such as the Pokémon "Mewtwo"; I think he "caught himself" a little to realize he needs to refocus his attention back to the REAL WORLD at least a little.

I know, as kids, we used to all live in our own "fantasy worlds" but as we grow up, we need to FOCUS OUR ATTENTION in the REAL WORLD of this earthly life and NOT the "imaginary" worlds of our imaginations. Amen.

The thing is, since I know a great deal about Pokémon and the whole structures of the Pokémon world, I know Pokémon is SATANIC IN ORIGIN and is a wicked abomination of WITCHCRAFT, SORCERY and IDOLATRY to name a few major big sins.

The Pokémon" as mentioned in the Pokémon world, especially the Pokémon called the "Legendary Pokémon" would be ascribed as GODS of the world by the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Amen.

In the Pokémon world some of the human inhabitants refer to these mystical, powerful, renowned, ancient Pokémon of legend as deities which is BLASPHEMY against the WORD OF GOD (King James Version Holy Bible [KJV]) and the ONLY TRUE GOD, the REAL GOD, LORD JESUS CHRIST! Amen!

Oh yeah, here I am, hearing the two girls and then the Hispanic boy came back in; still looking for Pokémons... Smh... I am NOT liking this wicked, evil DECEPTION of the Devil, SATAN people! PLEASE THROW AWAY and DESTROY these filthy, abominable Pokémon idols people! Amen!

It's like my childhood has come to life haunting me in real life, but in an actual REAL WORLD phenomenon!

"My G-d, my G-od!" says the young Hispanic boy as he looks towards catching another Pokémon. Smh... blasphemy, but the po' kid don't know it in IGNORANCE; like a lot of these kids and people.

Also, this new "Harry Potter" book called "Harry Potter And the Cursed Child" is also another DECEPTIVE DISTRACTION of the Devil, SATAN to confuse the people. Please, PLEASE do not fall for this latest trickeries of Satan to LEAD YOU TO HELL and AWAY FROM CHRIST! Amen!

If you don't know already, Harry Potter is WITCHCRAFT of the Devil, SATAN. Amen! Avoid, destroy your Harry Potter books and videos and GET RID OF THAT FILTH so that NO ONE ELSE can be "poisoned" by this witchcrafts! Amen!


Hmmm... Yep, seeing a lot of familiar, local residents and people I've met in my journey here in Denver Harbor of Houston, Texas at this library...

It's been quite a long journey of ups-and-downs...

I don't know when exactly the Lord is leading me to leave, but sooner or later, I feel as though it's coming to a close to leave this place and go elsewhere...

God-willing, because I have family and friends here and I know the brethren here at Calvary Christian Center Church I can see myself coming back here to Denver Harbor for two main reasons and those reasons only: 1. GOD and 2. FAMILY. Under "God" includes the Ministry He has given me to do including working with local churches and so forth (o be developed, God-willing...). Under "Family" watching after my close family and friends and their provision and good welfare; just taking care of those who help take care of me and vice-versa. Amen.

Spirit Walk: Listening To The VOICE Of The Holy Spirit TALK

Today, Wednesday, July 6, 2016 I met the VOICE of the Lord today speaking in my conscious mind as I was on my way to the library... He was "Walking with me"...

The Lord told me when to leave from home to go to the library and I thank God I went on HIS TIMING and NOT MINE. I OBEYED this time.

Also, as I was walking down Hoffman Street 'til I got to Lyons Avenue by the right-hand corner Lyons Washateria; I went over by the phone booth and left a "LOVE JESUS CHRIST LOVES ALL PEOPLE!" white paper slip with the Christian, King James Bible-believing Christian Websites underneath: 1. www.jesus-is-savior.com and 2. www.theabalonekid.com or 3. www.supernaturaltruthinchrist.com as a combination of two Christian websites I wrote on the front and back of the "LORD JESUS CHRIST LOVES ALL PEOPLE" white paper slip labels.

Anyways, instead of taking a left on Lyons to go my usual, "routine" route to the library, the Lord by the SPIRIT told me to do something new this time.

He said, "Go over to your right and walk down forward" and I did so and got to Shotwell Street.

Now at the intersection, He told me, "Cross over and go over to that lady by the bus stop area" and I did.

The Lord told me to hand the elder black lady the "Jesus Christ LOVES You!" Gospel of Jesus Christ gospel tract I had on hand in my left jeans pocket.

Turns out as I made the attempt the elder black woman refused and did not want the gospel tract, but all worked well in politeness.

An older white man sitting by the METRO bus stop on the other side of Lyons saw the whole scene witnessing my "rejection" and I think the older Hispanic man also, driving by in his truck...

Anyways, I wasn't really upset the lady did not accept the gospel tract I was going to give her. I had PASSED THE TEST: I actually OBEYED GOD in FAITH and WALKED ON OVER TO THE WOMAN to give her a gospel tract. It was not guarantee she would have accepted it or not, but God knoweth. My "test" was to see if I would OBEY God when He "trusted" me to go through with fulfilling one of His requests. I thank GOD I actually did.

Even so, even though the elder black lady did not accept the gospel tract, it was a moment of WITNESSING GOD and the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST so that she may have this encounter in her memory that perhaps, peradventure GOD will use to turn her heart if she's an unbeliever.

That's the thing about sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with people, brethren, it's not a "guarantee" people will accept hearing the "Good News" and convert to new BORN AGAIN believers right away; but AT LEAST they will have the benefit of a doubt in their minds that perhaps THERE IS A GOD and perhaps THERE IS AN AFTERLIFE I should be concerned about and know more about... THAT'S THE OBJECTIVE.

Only GOD can bring people to SALVATION.

OUR DUTY as Christians is to AT FIRST SHARE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST with unsaved people so they AT LEAST KNOW THERE IS A GOD AND A SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD NAMED "JESUS CHRIST" so at least people have that thought of memory in their minds to work in their HEARTS.

Christians: we PRESENT; we are the AFFECT. Whether people stick around long enough for them to hear us share the Gospel of Jesus Christ (KJV 1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and/or hand them a gospel tract they accept is up to THEM. We can't control the "outcomes" and that's NOT our purpose. We do NOT "force" people to accept Jesus, believe in God and convert to Christianity. That's what GOD does. Amen.

ONLY GOD brings people to REPENTANCE and SALVATION. GOD is the EFFECT. Amen!

So, afterwards, after having that brief encounter with the elder black lady at the bus stop, I crossed back over Shotwell Street of the intersection on Lyons Avenue and continued walking on Lyons on my usual route to the library...

Came across walking and waved to an older black man driving his dark blue garbage truck on Lyons towards the area I walked from... He threw up his two fingers giving me a friendly "peace sign" to which I acknowledged by waving my hand to him in reciprocal respect. Hmmm... seems like a lot of the locals are getting used to "me" but not really *me* exactly: the WORD OF GOD (King James Version Holy Bible [KJV]) is what I'm standing for and "representing".

I believe the people are "getting The Message" whether some agree or disagree, I think God has stirred up some people to be HIS SUPPORTERS. Amen.

Thus, on my way their at the Woolworth Street cross-street I came across a cardboard packaging of "Black Mamba" condoms and using a green Sprite bottle to pick it up; I crossed onto the opposite side of Lyons on the library side of Cliff Tuttle Park and threw away that condom cardboard packing and green Sprite plastic bottle into the trash. I washed my hands thoroughly with warm/hot water and soap when I got in the library. I didn't know why exactly but something in my spirit COMPELLED me to pick up that condom cardboard labeling packaging and THROW IT AWAY; get RID OF IT.

Such sexual immorality influences had to be "disposed of" to twist and warp, naïve, unsuspecting and "innocent" minds with the gutter of "sexual perversions".

Yeah, just like one time before I was sitting at the old gray, brown iron table here at the park and found one or TWO porno discs on the grass by the cement pavement underneath the table.

The Devil, Satan was TEMPTING me in my "old ways" of pornography watching to "pick up the films" to watch at home later... in "privacy" but I KNEW BETTER lol. THIS TIME!

I didn't want to "get caught" with this "trap" like I've been trapped before and GOD knew that and gave me the STRENGTH to "recognize" this trap: I mean the porno disc(s) were like in "perfect condition" to be taken and viewed on a DVD player on TV or on my laptop; but thankfully and gracefully GOD stirred up my spirit in those "struggling three (3) minutes of indecision and apprehension" to FINALLY pick up a stick to pick up the porno disc(s) in the hole center and put on the cement and "snap them up" breaking them apart before throwing them away "deep down" into the trash" where nobody else (besides the garbage collectors and homeless people) would "excavate" to.

Yeah, anytime I seen opportunity to GET RID OF the Enemy's Vices and Devices I do my best to DESTROY his wicked, ungodly influences, drowning and perverting men into PERDITION. Too much evil in this world to let it go unchecked and unchallenged!

May the Lord Jesus Christ be TRUE and EVERY MAN a LIAR. Amen!

Street Preaching On The WAY!

Today, Tuesday, July 5, 2016 just after 4th of July yesterday, I was led of the Lord by the Spirit to go "street-preaching"...

I walked and held up His Word (King James Version Holy Bible [KJV]) on the way up Hillsboro Street; then made a right turn to walk off the side of the curb on Kress Street on my way walking to the library.

I've learned from practical, hands-on in-the-field real life experience that when walking and street-preaching at the same time in neighborhoods you don't have to be so "expressive" holding your bible up so high in the air but just walk casually holding the bible in your hands and the only times you really should hold up your is when cars and vehicles are driving up and down the roads and you anticipate it and walk on up to the edges of the road from off the sidewalk just to hold up the Bible to people passing by in their vehicles.

Usually, when walking on the sidewalks and coming in contact with people you meet you may be able to individually witness Christ to people you meet on the streets as you walk your way witnessing, after saying a simple "Hi" or "Hello" as you pass your way.

If you strike up a friendly conversation with someone perhaps by His Grace you may be able to witness Jesus Christ to that person and even have opportunity to present the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST (KJV 1 CORINTHIANS 15:1-4).

As has been customary, some people throw up their hands as though they're waving "I got it". Other times, people see me with the Bible raised up and get angry and "speed off" as though they don't won't to "confront God"...

It's not necessarily me they could be getting all upset about... but GOD. He's the One I'm doing this for anyways. Not really me. Amen.

Anyways... it was a trying-day getting up early in the morning... I got up early but was all "worked up" with how "tired" I was...

Later on though, I got busy writing up some "Jesus Christ LOVES You!" Gospel of Jesus Christ gospel tracts to have ready to hand out...

Yeah, anytime I'm ever really getting prepared and ready to SERVE GOD that is when the Enemy KNOWS and EXPECTS me to STAND FOR CHRIST and he's ALWAYS targeting my MIND trying to get me upset, discouraged, angry with past failures, thoughts, memories and really just doing his best to DISORIENT me from GOING OUT and fulfilling GOD'S WILL.

So mi brethren, whenever in doubt, as I was, let's ALWAYS turn to GOD in PRAYER and SEEK HIS COUNSEL.

Sometimes we'll hear "double voices" in our heads that may say "Yes, No" as though to CONFUSE us from knowing if it's GOD'S VOICE or the DEVIL'S VOICE.

The thing is I've learned is to pray out to God saying "Get behind me Satan in the Precious Holy Blood Name of JESUS CHRIST!" and the Devil, Satan, or any other negative, demonic spirit or force is granted LEAVE and then afterwards I can usually hear the quiet, "whisper" voice of the Lord in the Spirit telling me "Yes" or "No" as He deems me to do. Amen.

It's tricky sometimes when the Devil, Satan is hell-bent on attacking us; but usually when the Enemy attacks us quite fervently he's oftentimes trying to keep us from doing a "great work" for His Glory. Amen.

Bro. Jed

"A Mocking Hand Gesture From the Devil"

This happened at the library earlier today after I was street-preaching with the (KJV) Holy Bible in my hand on the way there...

I was logged into Computer # 7 (know that the number "7" is a Good Number of the Lord meaning "Perfection" in biblical meaning) and underneath the computer keyboard I found the satanic "you rock on" hand sign drawn on the table as when a person folds their middle three fingers and point out their thumb and pinky fingers.

Coincidence? I think NOT!

The Devil sure was trying to "give me the finger" like he's right there at my back ready to get 'ah stabbing but I know I'm SAFE IN THE LORD and all I did was pray to the Lord over this and got out my pencil eraser and made a good cleaning of that monstrosity.

Brethren BEWARE the Devil's OUT THERE TO GET YOU.

I'm not saying "be scared" but to be AWARE of the Enemy right behind you.

If you are truly serving the Lord the Enemy is ALWAYS right behind you, trying to DESTROY you but we are SAVED BY HIS GRACE and have nothing to fear or worry about.

(P.S. More updates and happenings to come, Lord-willing!)
