What a wonderful post! The Lord didn’t give you that hunger and desire without intending to fulfill it. When He opens the door of ministry to you, come back and tell us about it!
Keep it up and study, not commentary, not exhortation but The Word of God and His word.
All good. I know his creator and it gives me hope.
>Killing others is also a sin,
I missed that. Not if they were trying to kill you first. No foul, no sin...just common sense.
God bless your witness, ma’am.
What a blessing, thank you. I hope many will heed what you say.
I've killed men in wartime.
Killing is not the same as murdering.
Knowing Jesus as Lord and Savior is the only thing that matters. He is my savior my Lord my best friend my joy my song my shield and my very great reward. He is my All in All.
Great. Love what you are doing. If you want an outlet for witnessing for Christ look up Global Media Outreach.

Your post overflows from your heart, thank you for posting. I’m wondering about your pastor and why he didn’t give you some direction or perhaps pray with you to help you know what the Lord’s plan is for you. Is there a Calvary Chapel close to you? It seems those that attend there are always so plugged in and involved in so much outreach. We live too far from a Calvary Chapel otherwise that’s where I would be. Your passion needs an outlet!
Jacqueline, thank you so much for this timely post, people do need to have not only head knowledge about Jesus but soul saving knowledge also! Your post is very welcome and needed!
That’s pretty cool. I hope you find your ministry soon. These types of posts need wider dissemination.
There was a guy who was going to die soon, so God came down and asked him “Where do you want to go, heaven or hell”?
He thought about it and said “Can I see each one first”?
“Of course”, said God. “Here’s Jesus to show you heaven”.
He looked at it and saw angels sitting on clouds, heard soft music, and said “Yeah this is nice, can I see hell now”?
So the devil came over to show him hell. He saw people dancing and partying to really good music and said “Hey, I like this place, I’ll go to hell if you don’t mind”.
So eventually the guy died, went to hell, and there was fire and torment. He said to the devil “Hey what’s all this, where is the partying and dancing”?
The devil said “Oh that was just the demo”.
Ba-dum-bump.
The Lord showed me an interesting way to meet “passer-by’s”. He was teaching me about generosity. Not the kind where you write a check or hand change to a beggar. What He told me was this: “Give away $100 a week - to anyone - until I tell you to stop.”
I asked where the money would come from, and He just said, “It will be there.”
The response of giving money to strangers and telling them “God Loves You and wants you to have this from Him”, is amazing! I learned that 2 twenties at a time is about right: more than pocket change but not extravagant. I would keep $40 in my left pocket and be ready - whenever.
It was really hard a first - I had to really look at people - really notice them. And I kept falling behind. But over a few weeks it really got to be more natural - and rewording! And every week, the next $100 was there.
I have now stopped giving away $100 a week, but I still keep $40 at the ready in my left pocket (I call it my “left pocket” ministry - never let the right had know what your left had is doing). This has had some truly amazing impacts, but I have no way of know the long-term responses. One lady said it was her birthday and she was very said. I told her God knew her and wanted her to enjoy this day. She went away squealing for joy!
Just a thought - God works in mysterious ways.
Well, welcome to Free Republic.
God bless you for your efforts at preaching the gospel.
And be aware that the Religion Forum on Free Republic is not for the faint of heart. It can get pretty rough here on occasion and your post is likely to draw some ire from others.
Remember who it is they are opposing. Not you but Christ in you.
There are many who read these threads and do not post but know that this is seen.
Hi, there’s a Biblical thread here if you’d like to keep posting things like this. Thanks for posting.
Yes, I know Jesus Christ as my Savior. Praise God for His grace and mercy. I am so thankful that Jesus died in my place for my sins and gave me His righteousness.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you.
JD,
May God Bless You.
If your preacher doesn’t know how to use your skills, drive and passion, God will.
No worries. Put it in His hands.
