God did some really amazing things today ;D. I thought I would share them with you guys. When I went to open air today I wasn't sure what I was going to say. As I was sitting on the bench getting ready I saw a $20 bill on the ground. I picked it up and started praying about what God would have me to do with it. I had been passing out the Living waters tracts called "America America." These tracts talk about why America isn't receiving God's blessing because of adultery, fornication, murder, etc.. that is rampant in America. As I was praying God gave me what to preach. I got up and yelled "In God we trust!" This $20 bill says "In God we trust" and yet USA today says that 50-60% of all couples have committed adultery! I got that last part from the tract. I started reading from the tract and preaching about how America does not trust God, but they hate God. One girl started screaming at me saying I preach everything bad but not grace. She was so furious! A crowd gathered for a few minutes and they were furious! I said "you want grace, this is grace that while you were yet sinners Christ died for you and took your punishment. All your adultery, fornication, etc... was put upon him because you deserve hell! You need to repent and put your faith in Jesus Christ, or perish!" As I was preaching some boys who were yelling at me stole the $20 out of my hand and ran ! I just ignored it and kept going. Later on the police came and told me someone complained. They said they couldn't stop me because I had free speech but if someone filed a citizen's something or other they could arrest me. They were really nice and kept driving by to check on me. It was an amazing day! God gave me my first crowd! God is so good! All glory to him!
