I was excited about returning to this campus due to having a burden to pull down the spiritual strongholds that make it so difficult to affectively preach here, and to see some spiritual fruit produced here as well. My meetings here last year mainly consisted of large unruly crowds, lots of sodomites and heckling, and long days of hard and loud hell fire preaching.
I arrived at the free speech area on campus at 11:30am as I had the privilege to be scheduled for an interview with a young lady who was intending to write an article for the school paper. The interview lasted about 20 minutes or so and I began preaching immediately after-wards. I began preaching against the common sins of most college students: Fornication 1Cor 6:9, lust Matt 5:28, drunkenness 1Cor 6:10, immodest attire 1Tim2:9. Students would immediately stop to listen and several passed by yelling, cursing and scoffing my preaching. A crowd gradually and progressively assembled, and by 12:30 there was over 100 students scattered.
As I preached repentance Mark 1:14, 15; 6:12 Acts 3:19. 20:21 the crowd built up more and many students began to scream and accuse me of misinterpreting the Bible. The only evidence they provided me was misquoting Matthew 7:1 and Rom 3:23 and applying it completely out of context.
The crowd would soon close in on me as suggested by another student, and this hindered me some because the students would now become bolder, viler, and their voices began to drown out my voice. When there is a big open space or a circle of students around you, and you have your voice lifted, a sinner is less bold and more reluctant to confront you alone, than when there is a crowd of sinners in your face screaming and opposing you at the same time.
Before the crowd closed in on me, a camera crew who was filming some of the preaching approached me and asked me some questions about my message and my effectiveness on campus. They were also asking students questions on camera.
Homosexual men began kissing, hypocritical professing Christians would exposed their evil fruit after being swiftly rebuked and reproved by me, by them cursing, taking the Lords’ name in vain and threatening to assault me. One girl spit on my pants after I rebuked her by quoting several Bible verses to answer her objections to my message and to the Lord Jesus.
Some time after 2:30 pm a very angry man began screaming in my face accusing me of saying something to his girlfriend who I don’t remember even seeing. I continued to preach and to defend myself verbally against his accusations. He began following me around raging with another huge guy. After being spit on by one of them, the cops would arrive and question us separately. I preached for a total of about 2 hours and 45 min to crowds mainly ranging from 50 to 160+ I talked to students and answered questions from about 3:00 -3:30. The called it a day

My voice seemed a bit weak this morning, and I prayed the Lord strengthen it. As I was nearing the preaching area a campus police officer that spoke to me yesterday called me over to him and talked briefly about what he expects out of me and to remind me that he would to stop me from preaching if a rowdy crowd gathered.
I began preaching just before noon and within 5 to 10 minutes several students began to sit and stand around to listen to the preaching. A crowd of 50+ soon gathered and it continuously grew larger and larger. As I approached a student to answer a question, I looked back and saw a female student run and kick my water jug the way I use to kick those slow pitches in a game of middle school kickball. I was able to salvage a good amount of water.
As the crowd swelled to 200, sodomites began to disgustingly kiss, people began dancing around me, and one student began banging on a very loud hand drum. Some students (very few) asked some relatively good questions that had to do with the Bible and spiritual matters. A very distinguished looking student who is known as the “flying spaghetti monster” guy arrived and began jumping around, asking questions and telling jokes. I actually don’t mind his heckling because he is non threatening, he helps maintain the crowd and he sensibly argues topics concerning the scriptures.
As the crowd closed in on me many began to continuously make attempts to justify sin and sinning. So I loaded up and preached a plethora of scriptures concerning victory over sin; Romans 6:6,14,18,22 1 Peter 4:1,2 Titus 2:11,12 Galatians 3:13 John 8:36. A young man who earlier inquired about interviewing me began asking questions while recording my answers and some of the preaching. Overall it was a very good day of preaching. A lot more civil than yesterday and the majority of the time I was able to preach to a large crowd without major interruptions or heckling. I left the area around 3:30 after 30 minutes of talking and answering questions to very small groups of 5-10 individuals.
I then had the pleasure to meet and be treated to lunch by a young man named Patrick that I spoke to over the phone for the first time several months back. He contacted me after having heard about my preaching somehow. He seems to be on fire for God and we believe the same way on a lot of issues. He preaches outdoors as well.
