IAMFORGIVEN

Today was an extremely busy day with soooo much to do and so little time to do it.  So I walked into the mall and tried to stay focused on getting what I needed, and then get out as quick as possible.  As I walked in, this mall was pretty big so I went up to this girl to find out where I could find the store I was looking for.  She said it’s down that way.

So as I was about to thank her and walk off she asked me if I would like something for free?  That got me wondering what she was giving away.  I looked around and her booth was soaps and other face products, but not just any products, they were from the red sea.

I know I was in a hurry but this seemed to be an ally oop for the gospel to be shared with this girl.  So I waiting to see what she was going to say.  She proceeded to and sell me some soap and said how amazing I would look if I used it because of all the special vitamins.  I was almost sold and thought just one bar and I would be looking like Brad Pit!

So how was I going to give this girl the gospel who seemed to only want to sell me something.  Then I noticed that had an accent and it wasn’t from New Zealand, so I asked  “Where are you from?”  She said “Israel”.  Again another open door to proceed to get to know her and see where her faith was.

I continued to ask her a few question to see where should stood with God and it turned out that she didn’t believe in God she believed in Evolution.  The conversation started to get harder because her english wasn’t that good so she called over who I think was her boss, to try and clarify things.  So now there were two people that God put before me to give the good news to.

I totally forgot I was in a hurry and decided to keep chatting with this guy about his evolution beliefs while the girl walked away.  As I was listening to him talk it dawned on me how people take things they hear and make them truth.  They don’t even run them through logic to see if they make sense.  After that, we spent about 5 minutes breaking down the evolution theory and how it is impossible.  That lead into how we are all given a conscience to know right and wrong.  The conversation was going so well and it was making so much sense but then he started to walk away.

He reached over and grabbed his bag and said I am going to have a smoke wanna join me?  It was just getting good so I wasn’t go to let some little cancer stick stop me.  We walked out side still talking about God.  When we got out there I had his full attention and just broke down the gospel in a way that really made sense.  To see his face change and watch him seem to get it was pretty amazing.  He didn’t give his life to Christ but I did pass off my card and encouraged him to read the full bible.

I was so blessed by sharing the amazingness of God to this guy that I totally forgot what I came to mall to do.  Oh yeah… shopping

Don’t be to busy to see those opportunities to share the gospel with people.  You could be that person who brings them from darkness to light.  You hold the keys to the kingdom, so open the door and let people into this amazing life with Christ.

    Travis- So Did you buy the soap; and do you look like Brad Pitt. Jesus spoke of the value of spiritual soap w/ his disciples and clarified salvation’s/soap’s effectiveness.

    John 13:10 Jesus said to him, “The one who has bathed does not need to wash, except for his feet,[a] but is completely clean. And you[b] are clean, but not every one of you.”

    Keep cleaning up the town.
