Spirit and Truth Discernment: Van Dwelling For Christ Aug 20 2021

Van Dwelling For Christ Aug 20 2021

I thought I would go back to my daily van posts "for a season". To better redeem the time; I will add daily pictures, experiences and some witnessing we do, on the way. (most new teachings and verse by verse studies will be put in the Fellowship Gathering area) This post is just part of the daily life of a gospel street preacher/his wife, as we travel/van dwell and preach Christ crucified all over America. May you be blessed by it!

See the gospel and 10 point test:

And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. Matthew 10:21-22

Today we rolled further into Nebraska on a windy but beautiful day.

It was a driving day, some work, I did a van oil change and we had good witnessing as well. We really like this state a lot but it does remind us sometimes (not always) of a couple we knew. They were striving in the faith (at times) seeking all truth but recently, they have gone..... back to their vomit of man made religion.

After years of always hoping and thinking they would strive through; sister and I made a decision / a promise that we are not looking back their way at all anymore but we are focused on our mission and the dear holy saints we know/ are united to in the truth. Those other people in the past, they are now the Lords!

Go read Luke 9:62 ...yea, just saying!!!

************************************************************************

I was emailed and asked to test a religious body near where we once lived. This person claimed it was VERY biblical. We got excited for about 10 seconds until looking at their website we learned; its another false evangelical place of man.

We hope they repent and correct for God's glory and to save their souls. See the testing link here:

This is why we oppose today's so called worship music and ministries that pump it out to the masses:

https://spiritandtruthdiscernment.blogspot.com/2019/08/music-ministries-exposed.html

It is NOT of God and it is emotionalism/false Christiianty that is deceiving millions.

***************************************************************************

Jesus said the WORLD will hate His people. See Matthew 10

I find it is so VERY true as we preach out in the culture and at religious places. They often do really hate us but then; I find those who are the lowly under belly of the world like the homeless and beggars it is usually not so!

Today, I saw a park table full of homeless drifters/beggars so I went and preached the gospel to them. While one was clearly drunk; the others listened, received the truth, they did not mock it, they took gospel cards with my number (if they want help) and they thanked me. No, sadly they did not repent and leave their old life of begging, addictions and not working to seek/obey Christ but; they listened. I was VERY happy that they heard me say I loved them and they saw a human who cared. Glory to God as He makes me do this, NOT my flesh I promise. (they already had lots of food, shelter and water all over their camp and never give them cash!) I was also thankful that I was not attacked as they can be aggressive; if demonic, criminals or on drugs. The point is; they did not get anything "material" from me but; they all still thanked me. Then as I drove off; they even waved good bye. Folks, that does NOT happen at the religious places or out in the world.

The low, addicted and the humble often have hearts softer/closer to the Lord then the wealthy business man or the Sunday pew sitter so remember that saints of God.

Something to ponder huh?

************************************************

I was walking in to a store and I saw this restored old truck that looks like new!

It made me think of my dad. (dead 12 years now) He was a unbeliever and he used to spend hours, weeks and months working on old cars to restore and paint them up. I thought how futile his life was now that he is gone! What vanity all of those things of the world really are!

Solomon said it well:

Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.

Ecc 2:11

I am so thankful God rescued me from a life full of vain ways as I was on that road once. Let us labor most for that which is eternal amen saints?

*************************************************

What do you see in this picture?

It is a coffee maker on a generator. Funny huh? I had another awesome witnessing encounter today:

A camper next to us was up making morning coffee and I saw his truck hood open so I went to talk, to see if he needed help. We discussed his job of transporting rv units all over the country. He went on to tell me he is a believer in Christ and that his home in Texas gets vandalized a lot (like weekly/just petty damage done, nothing big and no stealing) and it was making him upset, fleshly & angry all the time.

I shared with him my own flesh struggles with mockers, street preaching, police, violent men etc and all that happens out here then I asked him a question:

don't you think it is satan's main plan to steal our joy/focus daily with the cares of this life, stresses and material things to keep us from focusing on the kingdom of God most?

I also said if they stole it all or burned it down, will it really matter in eternity? I said; we really need to be thankful they are not stealing it all and God has a purpose in it all.

He smiled and said that is so true man and we both promised each other to be more kingdom focused daily and not let cares of this world that is dying and fading away get to us. I preached the gospel to him and he thanked me and he gave us a small gift that his wife makes. It was a good lesson for us both!

Jesus said:

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Matthew 6:33

Sister debbie's post to uplift the ladies:

******************************************************************************

Another glorious day serving Christ in van dwelling is over.

We have a awesome FREE camp spot with a lawn too, we are blessed. (a older lady came over and she was blessed by our gospel signs and boldness so you be a light saints, people will see it!)

Tomorrow it is off to preach at a so called Christian music fest.

It is bitter sweet as we know we will get the anger/wrath of so many there but; we always usually get some seekers too. Lord willing videos, audios and testimonies to come from the day.

I was greatly edified recently when a very young saint went to a religious service (they had to attend it) and sent us a play by play of all the false ways they saw there. It was so encouraging to see a young believer cut through all of the usual excuses and to call it what it is, sin/false ways against our Holy God. I also see saints standing against family and unbelieving husbands when they must, all for God's glory. They may NOT be on the front lines with us daily; but their testimony and faithful lives, help drive sister debbie and I on in the Lords truth.

Thank you dear precious saints!

We love you all.......
