Don't Look at Their Faces

Although I am not always 100% confident every time I step out the door. I always prepare myself to "go and do." Along with my "go and do" attitude comes the thought that no one wants to here about God, or that person is okay, or maybe they already know God. Anything would come to mind to keep me from sharing what I had awaiting within me.

Sometimes I will look at a face and a prejudgment of how receptive they are will come to mind, but as I "go and do" I find myself overthrowing those thoughts programed in me by the enemy. The thoughts that were intended to promote fear and essentially support the "be a hearer only" complacency. Satan wants me to be comfortable not sharing.

Last week a team of us went to the Shady Grove Metro station. I prayed the whole way there, preparing my heart and mind not to look at the faces but to do the will/word of God. As soon as I parked it was warfare, Satan was trying to get me to pick out who I should talk to. Every time that thought came, I did the opposite. Not only that but the accountability of my teammates helped me push through too.

Almost every woman I offered prayer to accepted and we had prayer right there at the station. There was one young lady who didn't seem interested in the least. She was one that Satan said don't go to, but I did the opposite and gave her my CD and contact info. Of all the people there I thought, "she's probably not going to listen to it", but I am here to offer. I checked my email and the very one I thought wasn't interested sent an email response to the CD saying how much she liked it. Of course I extended the invitation to learn more and she accepted.

There are so many people out there dying for us to share the Light and Life that we have within us. Satan is busy giving us false impressions, making the people look intimidating when in reality there hearts are ready for what you have to say. Their faces don't reflect the need in their hearts/spirit/soul for God. People await and yearn for a savior even if they are all tattooed, pierced, frowned or even non-chalant.
