While tempers flared last night and those with evil hearts, tried to destroy our beautiful city of Vancouver, I was taking my four mile walk around the beautiful Green timbers trails and lake.
It is our desire to go deeper in the Spirit and to a place that most Christians do not achieve, singing songs of praise, and speaking Psalms, I know 91, 55, 27, 23 by heart and intend to memorize more, the walk goes by quickly, and in the woods I can sing and praise the Lord at the top of my voice, the tall trees seem to lift themselves to Heaven in praise to God.
Vancouver may have lost the game, and when many fans and trouble makers who have invested all of their emotions in their only Earthly interest, lost and without the Holy Spirit, Satan takes over.
Imagine the riot that was incited by the priests when Pilot, told the people to chose either Jesus or Barabbas. God did not interfere, He did not send riot police. Because had Jesus not died for our sins on the cross, we would not have been redeemed.
We who are in Christ has already won the prize, we all are winners, the only other opportunity is to store up favor and rewards in the Kingdom, where they will be awarded at the "Judgment seat of Christ" by the Kings of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
Evangelizing takes you to a place were few Christians go, you see into the hearts of men, it's not an easy vocation, for example yesterday while sitting on a bench, many ducks and birds surrounded us. This decent looking couple stopped to observe.
We begun speaking mainly about Vancouver in comparison to Calvary, the conversation was going well, I stood up and got closer to them, I tried to reason with them about the gift of Salvation, they walked off saying that they were not interested. I could only imagine their shock when they find out that doing good did not qualified them to have their names written in the "book of life" and they are escorted to Hell by Satan's angles. (why did they not want to reason? I would have taken all the time that was necessary)
I was speaking to a Hindu man that worked at BC hydro, about Electric cars, he said that he would advised against them, and said that cars using shale gas in the future, would be the technology of choice. I told him that I did not have another 30 years to see that product. I did not feel led to speak to him about Jesus, he seemed like the know it all type.
I did lead a Muslim man and another couple, why do we do what we do. Answer: When you mature in Christ the only other level is the Great Commission, eleven out of the twelve disciples were killed for obedience to that command, John was boiled in oil, and was carried to the Isle of Patmos where he was carried up to Heaven and wrote the book of Revelations.
