Hey everyone, I'm sick.
I have a fever that has been increasing since yesterday, and I feel like all the life has been sucked out of me.
I started getting sick on Thursday, and it has gotten progressively worse since then. It's probably just a regular cold, but I did spend a couple hours at a local park witnessing to people with greater boldness than I have before (on Wednesday), which makes me partly suspicious that this sickness may be of the enemy.
The last person I talked to was the husband of a woman who is a fortune teller in our area. I was able to tell him what the Bible says about fortune-telling and divination, and I mentioned the story of Paul and the fortune-telling girl in Acts 16.
The man told me that he reads his Bible everyday and that he accepts Jesus Christ "as his personal Lord and Savior." I told him that a lot of people seem to think that they can live a life counter to what Christ commands us and still inherit the Kingdom of God, but that it simply is not so.
I told him that the bible even says that those who practice sorcery and witchcraft will be cast into the lake of fire. He took it well, but appeared to have never read that part of the Bible. I gave him a tract, and he took it back to his family reading it.
So anyways, I don't know if there's something going on in the other realm with me being sick, but the timing makes it appear so. Again, I just want this fever, cough, and congestion to be gone. I would have probably gone out and witnessed again the last couple days, but wasn't able to due to this.
My 11-month-old is also getting over being sick as well. It's tough just sitting in bed while my wife has to take care of a sick baby. If you could pray for us both to be healed, we would appreciate it greatly!
