Dear Refreshed,
You have mirrored exactly how I feel lately. Just so many things to dig deeper into that I am meditating on. Praise God! I don't always like what I am seeing but I like seeing.
Your answer is true. No special way. For me I feel like I want structure around this right now. Right now, I would be doing this out of obedience rather than out of any conscious sense of direction. It will be lovely when I get my spiritual ears and God directs me to say x to person y. That would be wonderful.
I have a plan to go to my local occupy group and take hot water and tea/coffee. I am sympathetic to their cause though uncertain about their methods. I have read that banks legally lend at least 10 times the amount they have in assets. So the interest we are paying is on money they don't even have (at least 9 out of 10 dollars). Then when they go bust the federal government reimburses all of us for our bank accounts which becomes part of the national debt that we owe to the bankers, who made up the money they lent us anyway. I could go on...Sorry for the political rant, I'll stop now.
Anyway, I want to talk to them since they aren't in a rush and witness to them about God. We all really need God to help with all our problems as a nation.
I also have a plan to go to the local hospital Laboratory where people wait to get blood tests and try to talk to people who are walk ins and have to wait.
I think posting online is a great way to witness because people can choose when they feel like engaging.
I have of course already talked to my friends and my family and at least opened the subject. I've tried just bringing it up here there and everywhere.
I believe most of all if I seek to keep my mind on the Lord then when an opportunity presents I will see it. But I don't really go out much (health).
I have never been into evangelism before. I wouldn't choose it but it seems now that it isn't a choice of whether to evangelize or not it is a choice of whether to honor the Lords commandments or not. And that people are now desperate for help and this is the best help I can give.
Like I said, there goes my complacency. Anyway, I am looking for structure. I would like a planned event of some kind and maybe a partner in crime. I hope to find that at this new church I am going to and to call some of the local ministry groups and get busy there. I believe God will give me the energy for it if I plan it. So, if I am here less, its a good sign.
Thanks for listening to this topic. My truth does not have to be the only truth, but it seems to be my truth. The image that represents my feelings about this task is that old bit of film where the dog keeps following the guy home no matter what he does. I suppose this is even more sacrilegious then teasing about God burping.
I guess my hairs all down now. God bless you all truly.
Grace
