Faith,Hope and Love in Jesus Christ,
This one testimony i had to tell so forgive me if i am sending too many witnessing encounters.Anyway so I was out witnessing yesterday and I went to another gas station.I was mostly handing out tracts that had the gospel message and my phone number at the back.Outside the gas station were two employees,one of them was smoking and i guess they were having a very good conversation.The holy Spirit led me to go hand out two tracts to them and also witness to them.The tract had the question where will you spend eternity? I proceeded to ask them both if God judged them by the
ten commandments would they go to heaven or hell.One of them told me he already knew where he was going to spend eternity and i asked him where,he said heaven.I asked him why is that, he said because he had believed in Jesus Christ the Son of God who had been sent for the remission of SIns.I asked him So are you living for Jesus and he said yes.We both got to praising God,its so encouraging when i meet other christians as i witness.I then turned to the other dude who was smoking and asked him What about you If God judged you by the ten commandments would you go to heaven or hell?He told me he didnt mean to be rude and that i was probably gonna chop his head off for saying it but the fact was he didnt believe in God.I smiled at him(remember how the Samaritan woman was trying to show Jesus he wasnt supposed to be talking to her because she was a Samaritan and he was a JEW!!!But Jesus still proceeded to talk to her about Living water,so i had to take a lesson from Jesus and proceed to tell him about Livingwater too though he thought that i didnt want to talk to him after he admitted he was an atheist) so i proceeded on and told him matter of fact i dont want to chop your head off i want to talk to you even the more.I told him lets just take a chance and assume that there is a God.And he said okay lets assume that.I told him and if God judged you by the ten commandments would you go to heaven or hell.He didnt know the ten commandments so i went through some of them with him.He then told me to be honest that he would go to hell if this God i was talking about judged him by the ten commandments.I told him me too if God judged me by his commandments ive broken them so i would be destined to hell.Then i told him this concerned God and that is why he sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for sins that we do by going against Gods commandments.I then asked him have you heard about JESUS CHRIST or if maybe he had watched the Passion.He said he had heard about JESUS CHRIST but he didnt know that was what Jesus did.I told him that Jesus is the Son of God and imagine God still sacrificed him just to make sure if we believed in JESUS CHRIST we would be found innocent on that day of judgement and so get to heaven.I could see he was in awe and so I told him and believing on Jesus Christ for salvation is just a prayer away.Then he told me that he had to go back into the gas station so let me leave him to finish his conversation with hs workmate,but he really wanted to talk to me more.I left and went to my car and waited.I had some bibles too to give out yesterday,the Holy Spirt spoke to me and asked that i give him a bible in addition to the tract i had given him previously and also another Cd"SPOKEN FOR" that was in my car by one of my favorite christian bands MERCY ME.First of all i thought oh no i hadnt even made a copy of the cd so that would leave me without one,but the Holy Spirit told me trust me share that bible and cd with him.So i went to the gas station and found him there,when he saw me he told me he felt so bad after i talked to him(i guess he meant about hell) he told me his workmate had said they would talk even more about the gospel.I told him by the way here is a bible coz i give these out for free and this is Gods word,he looked shocked and asked "For me?" sorta like he felt he didnt deserve one.I told him yes and also told him and heres a cd by a band i love to listen to.And he took that eagerly too.I then bade him goodbye and left rejoicing because an atheist had been convicted by the Holy Spirit and God was drawing so powerfully.I know the whole time i witnessed to him, it wasnt me speaking because i would never know how to witness to an atheist.Satan must have been furious with me yesterday i could feel it but i was laughing because i knew even in heaven they were full of Joy.His name is Tim so keep him in prayer.God bless you all.The word i learnt from this encounter yesterday God's law is good if used lawfully and also that the law is the schoolmaster to bring us to christ.Without the law Tim wouldnt have known sin,praise God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
