Greetings my friend! I have been placed in many circumstances throughout my life that have not made it particularly "easy" for me to be a witness for Jesus Christ, that is for sure! But some of the more important things to remember are: while you continue to witness, never give up!! THEY ARE WATCHING YOU! :-) You may be the 'only "Bible" that they ever read!' :-) So take care, my brother in Christ, and never lose heart or sight of Christ, who has ensured victory for those who believe in Him! I have spoken to Satanists, several Jehovah's Witnesses (they keep coming to my door :-) ), several Mormons (they gave me a Book of Mormon :-) ), a self proclaimed 'witch', agnostics, antagonists of all kinds, and other people that severely need the saving grace of Christ. I have been to several jails and witnessed to inmates, even on Sunday. I have witnessed on the street, sometimes giving out tracts and sometimes speaking to people without tracts.. I have walked up to complete strangers in any setting and all walks of life and asked them if they have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I have worked in a few factories before, and on 3rd shift before, where it was extremely hard to stand up for your faith in front of men who had only sinful things on their minds.. However, many times I have been called names and have been literally screamed at. Other times, I would find my tracts all torn up, not even looked at. I've been threatened and told not to witness or say anything about Christ. But you see, that's all part of the long haul, my friend, and you will grow from it and learn to take it in stride, because we run a different race than this world does, my friend! Keep your eyes on Jesus Christ, and keep your eyes open for opportunities to share your faith! Keep leading by example, if none of your words find 'good soil.' Remember, you can share what the Lord has done for you, but once you have sincerely shared your testimony, then it is the task of the Holy Spirit to use your testimony to draw another person to Him... We can only share what He has done for us. And we will continue to do so, gladly, until these mortal bodies expire! Blessings to you, Makarios |

Makarios, Its always a prevledge and honor to be persecuted for Christ. I think my strangest encounter was at a state fair and I was handing out tracts and speaking to people and this guy came up and I felt a great urgency to talk to this guy. I asked him if he knew Jesus. He replied to me "who?" I said "Jesus the Christ" He looked at me and moaned and said some curse words and said Jesus is the #1 enemy. Then he proceeded to hit me. TRhen all of a sudden he ran for his car. As he drove away the back of his car said "This car is "protected by witchcraft" That was probably the strangest encounter I have had. It was a very evil feeling. It was also a learning experence. Always wear suit of Armour God gave us. God Bless you, Darcy |

Greetings Darcy! I am sorry to hear of what happened to you in your efforts to witness to that man. We should continue to pray for him, since we can never underestimate the value of the power of prayer! There are other "witnessing" stories that I can share with you, some that will make you laugh, and some that did not turn out so well.. But never lose your zeal and love for Him! In all settings, we must be ready (2 Timothy 4:2) in season and out of season, to give a defense to anyone who asks us to give an account for the hope that is in us! (1 Peter 3:15). Blessings to you, Makarios |
