a new day

So, I just spent the morning re-editing my blog. I kinda like it. What do you think? Yes, I admit it. I like orange. I just do, so what. I gotta tell you about the Pen Center evangelism Josh Heymans, Jessica Brown, Humphrey Onzere, and I did last night; it was sweet. I'm gonna tell it in 4 sections.
Heymans: Josh wasn't gettin into the flow well untill the close of the evening. He had not much success until a we sat down with guy and wanted to pray for his broken hand. The ladies with him got extremely offended and took off so we sat down and had a great conversation with him and got to pray for his hand. We're believing for a great testimony when the doctor takes his cast off. Then Josh literally got called over by a group of 6 or 7 to preach to them. I don't know what was said cause I was talking to another fellow, but he was witnessing up a storm.
Humphrey:............is hardcore. This was Humphrey's first time out with "Josh Squared", and he tore it up. He just liked to go sit beside someone on a bench and use his African residency as a door opener. He got to talk openly about Christ with at least 4 people. Humphrey just took some bold initiative and didn't wait for us to point him in a direction, he just went for it, and had awesome results. People were almost crying as he shared with them about how much God loved them and how He showed that love for them by sending Jesus to die on their behalf. Nice job God, and Humphrey.
Jessica and I: We pretty much teamed up. But as I was getting my quad band cell phone unlocked so I can use it in Africa, Jessica went up to this guy who was pushing around a little girl in a wheelchair and asked if she could pray for the girl. He was a Bible believing Christian and let her. It was a big step of boldness. We had been asking God to send some sick people to us so we could pray for them, and God answered. Be careful what you pray for. Then we walked up to 2 girls and I bluntly asked them, "Do you girls know Jesus?" They answered, "No............ do you want to tell us about him?" So we got to share about the love of God, and what Easter had been all about, etc etc. Good stuff. Then we got to lay hands on this guy and pray for him. The I seen a girl who looked like I did a few years ago (extremely sad and lonely) so I sent Jessica over to her and she got to dramatically speak into her life in a way that she might never had before. It was awesome.

All this, and I was under constant threat of being permanently banned from that Mall for doing the very thing we were doing! These 3 people braved the threat as well, cause they too would undoubtedly have been banned for being with me. Book of Acts anointing?.............not really, but I'll take it. It was another awesome evangelical experience anyway.

New Poll
Last poll results:

Think Jesus is coming back in your lifetime?

Selection		Votes
yes	56%	9
no	44%	7

The majority says that "YES", Jesus will come back before I die. I voted "no" myself; unless believers get off their *** and get the Gospel to the nations who have not heard yet, we're not going anywhere. So lets go!!! C'mon generation who have been prophesied about. Let's get'er done.

New poll is, do you believe the signs and wonders like Gold Dust, gold teeth, feathers, oil, etc etc are from God, man, or the devil? It's a controvesial subject, and one that has been discussed at length in my bible school the last little while. Blessings all. Enjoy the weekend.

strike #2

Today, Josh Heymans and I took Jenny (Jenny Hinn, as I call her; as she is a budding super-evangelist) and Jessica Brown (who has one of the greatest servant hearts I have ever seen) out to the Pen Center for some good ole Mall Evangelism. Jessica and I walked around and talked to a few people; we got to pray for this chic who had sore hips (more from her later). We went back to the food court area to meet up with Josh and jenny, and we seen Jenny talking to a girl and Josh was not around. We meet up with Josh and then Jenny comes back with this awesome story:

Josh tells her to go over to this certain table and tell the girl sitting there about Jesus. So she goes over and asked her if she knows Jesus. The girl pretty much breaks down and is weeping saying that she had been asking God that if he was real, etc, that He would send someone to testify of His goodness, etc. So for about 10 minutes, Jenny totally gets to Gospelize her and speak words of life into her. What an awesome testimony; one of the best of the semester! You go God!

Then as we are all cruisin to get an Orange Julius, the security guard that kicked us out 2 mondays ago came up to me again and said that there were more complaints directed towards us and that we (once again) had to leave. She said that if it happens one more time we would be permanently banned from the Pen Center, Glory to God. I believe it was the girl who Jessica and I prayed over who complained to the security guard about us. We seen her talking to one of the store workers whom I credit our gettin kicked out last time to. Anyways, it sure was some good times. I have to try and find out in the St catharines by-laws what our rights are for Mall Evangelism. Things could get quite interesting.

an Ezekiel anointing?

Ezekiel 4?.................Nah. We did get to tell the Gospel to three youngsters who ended up with 3 New Testaments, and Kyle and I got to pray with the Catholic gentleman. Pretty good cosidering Josh and I got kicked out of this same place last monday for doing the same thing! And I also got some habenero hot sauce. Sweet!!

kicked out of the Pen Center

So Josh Heymans and I get about 20 New Testaments today and we take a fellow Celebration Bible College student (Timothy from Nigeria) to the Pen Center to evangelize and give out some free bibles. Good idea, right? Apparently the people at the Pen Center didn't think so. About 30 minutes or so into our outreach, a security guard comes up to me and tells me that she was getting complaints about us and that we have to leave. Wow, it's a pretty sad state when you are handing out a book that leads to eternal bliss (as well as present day victorious living), and you get told that you're not wanted! Whatever! I think we're going back on friday, if not before. It was a rather slack time of evangelizing anyhow; people were just not into talking about Jesus today. What's up with that?! Could you think of a more interesting topic to talk about? Good luck.

hanging out with Holy Spirit

That's right. Last night, Josh Heymans, Kyle Laviolette, and I cruised to the Pen Center to do some 'basic' (if there is such a thing) evangelism. Sometimes it's hard to get going, so we sat on a bench and just asked Holy Spirit to manifest and bring some Kindom action on the scene. First, Josh and I got to pray for some guy that had had a stroke; he said he felt better following. Then I talked to a couple people very breifly after getting (what I thought was) a word of wisdom; it turned out to be fairly innacurate though; whatever! Then Kyle and I totally Gospelized this guy who was quite bitter against God and the church, and who had a really tough time seeing anything good about God or Jesus, etc. And not that I blame him. The church has done a terrible job of accurately portraying the love of Jesus. (Dont get me started.) As we were witnessing to this guy, Josh was speaking a word over this girl who approached him asking if she knew him? How cool is that?! Then he starts talking to some other Christians who were seated right next to him and gets to pray for one of their wrists, and she immediately says it feels better! Nice. Then we head to the movie theatre and right outside the door we get passed by this guy on crutches and 2 of his friends. We ask him if we can lay our hands on him and pray for God to heal his foot. He says "sure", and his friend says, "Can you pray for me too?" Sure, man. So, the guy with the sore foot didn't get healed but we were able to minister to them for a few minutes, praise God!!

After our evangelism stint, we headed back to 35 Elma St and watched Super Size Me with Peter & Julie. Great night.

evangelism wednesday

Today was 'evangelism wednesday' at CBC. So Josh Heymans and I took Priscilla out to the Pen Center to see what we could get ourselves into. We looked for sick people but couldn't find any cause the Pen Center ain't very busy on a wednesday afternoon. So Pricilla and I started playing chess on this floor chess board. We were hopin to draw a crowd, wherewich we could do some soap-box preaching, but a crowd just didnt get interested. So Josh just cruise's over to this handful of students and starts witnessing to them. This sparked a great time of cruising around the mall and doing some prophetic evangelism. We were asking for God to give us names of people walking by, and then we would approach them and ask them if their names were the ones which we believed God gave us. It's a great way to learn to hear God better. Our batting average wasn't very high, but at least we went down swinging rather than stand at the plate and watch pitches go by. I did go up to one girl at the food mart and speak a bit of God's love for her into her day, so that was sweet. We also got to push Priscilla WAY out of her comfort zone. I like doing that to people.

So I am thinking of changing evangelism times from wedensday afternoon, to saturday afternoons. The opportunities to speak to people are infintely greater, as the numbers are so much more. T'was good times today. It's a great thing to get into the habit of actually doing what the bible says to do...........................oops, did I just say that.
