Saturday Door Knocking (03/30/24)
We talked about Joseph Smith’s false prophecies, and how he said that Jesus would return in 1891, which never happened. How, he said that New Jerusalem would be built and dedicated by his hand, which never happened.
This was such an amazing encounter with Bess, who is homeless. As I was walking back to my car that day, I saw her and could not let her leave without giving her what she needed.
As she was telling us her story, I knew that the Lord could help her. As these thoughts came into my mind, Chris asked if we could pray with her, which she accepted.
I continued to talk with the couple and explained that the Bible clearly states, in Revelation, that if you add or take away from God’s Word that your name will be removed from the Book of Life.
As we walked along the streets, many people took our handouts, including the Gospel of John and Gospel Tracks. Some people were not so interested but others were ever so grateful.
When Jesus died on the cross, He was the last offering for sin. We can now be forgiven by the blood of Jesus. After sharing this, he agreed upon this.
Upon arriving to their temple, I was energized to talk with as many people as I could. I invited everyone walking down the sidewalk to take the handout.
After preaching, I met this young man, who was with his friends. I asked him if he believed in Jesus Christ and he said no.
Most visitors left in their cars but some walked home. One young man came out of the temple and started walking on the sidewalk, near me.
We are so blessed to be led by the God of the heavens. I asked the people to cherish every day that they have to read it and pray to God often.
One gentlemen stood there listening to the preaching, so I approached him. I asked if he was a follower of Jesus. His response was that he was Mormon.
Know that if the Bible is teaching something contrary to your faith than there is something wrong with it and not the Book.
Those in the faith of Jesus Christ are part of His body. We are all made up in the body of Christ and not a church building.
We encouraged these people to go church and listen to what their friend has to say about Jesus. That He is the way and we are only His messengers.
The Lord led us further around the corner and the first house we knocked on was a very sweet lady. She opened the door and came right out to talk with us.
As the night went on, I was able to hand out a devotional card on Jesus to one lady who openly took one. Her words were, “I love Jesus, thank you for the card”.
