Kingdom Work: Done by God (using weak people)

Tonight was amazing! First, before we even went out, I was so burdened in my soul that I wanted to throw-up. I was so burdened that I messed up the contact with Adam, and I didn`t want to be a person that just spouted the gospel-sales pitch ad with anyone I met. So, during our team-prayer time that we have before we go out on the street, I begged God to break me and humble me and use me, because I am weak!
It was horrible outside (raining and not so warm), but we stayed out anyways, under a little roof-type thing outside a store. We preached four messages tonight, with Tony and I swapping off each one. After the second message that I preached, I approached a guy by the name of Keo. He is a native dude. He seemed interested in Jesus, so we talked for about 25 minutes and then something started to change. He really wanted what I was talking about. He started to get serious and not talk about the other spirits or anything else anymore. He was really interested in Jesus and I really felt the Spirit leading the conversation. So, I went through the steps of salvation and asked him if he`d ever thought about things in that way. He said `NO`. So, I asked more questions which led to me asking what he wanted to do with Jesus, and he said that he wanted a relationship with Jesus - so we prayed there on the side of the street and Keo accepted Jesus as his personal Savior, Forgiver and Leader of his life! So, we talked for a while then he went on his way, joyfully changed forever. Please pray for him!
So, I walked back to where Tony was preaching the last message of the night. There were many in the crowd tonight laughing and mocking the message of Jesus. But after Tony was done, I caught up with Jason, a guy who had listened to the whole message. I asked him what he thought about Jesus. We had a long talk, which resulted in Jason telling me that many people had approached him lately trying to give him a Bible and that he really wanted more from God. So I asked a few questions and asked if he had ever surrendered his life to Jesus. He said, `No`. So, we went through how he could be assured of salvation, and he too believed and prayed to ask Jesus to come into his life tonight. He was crying as he prayed for Jesus to come into his life. Praise God!!!!!
So, I`m so pumped right now. I am so positive that God is the only one that can change lives, because when we went out, I was not at all thrilled to be there, because my soul was burdened so much for the dude from the afternoon, Adam. But God chose to open the hearts of two men from Montreal, and God is doing His Kingdom work and is using His weak servants to do so.
One by one, God is building His Kingdom and is bringing the lost into the fold. Please pray for Jason and Keo, as they begin their new life in Christ, changed for eternity because of what Jesus has done for them, and God opening their hearts to see this lovely message! May God get all the glory for these acts!!! He is so worthy of all our worship and all our praise.
I was reminded of my verses that compel me to pray and believe that Montreal and Quebec are where I should be right now. Galatians 6:7-9: "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit wil from the Spirit reap eternal life. Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary."
Don't grow weary - and the only way we can do that is to rely COMPLETELY on Christ!
Pray for these new believers and for many more to come to Him.

Relying Hard on Him.
Dwight

God loves a balance

He made Angel & Devil

These two prance about.

Only Grand Ayatollahs and Popes
are Infallible. So, where does
your authority originate?

A weak one.

Dwight that's such an awsome night, so inspiring and encouraging to see God's hands at work. and it's such a clear image of what I remind myself everytime i go to the streets, it's that that God is working and when we rely COMPLETELY on Him and humble ourselves He will work through us. so awsome Dwight. Jesus loves new christians, and He loves you just as much as them. -Geoff

My response to you weak:

Where is the central subject of your comment? I'm not sure.

But my authority comes from the One that has authority over all things. I claim weakness on my own, but in Christ, I have been given a spirit of power, love and discipline - to share with a world that needs Jesus. God is in control of all men, angels, devils and everything. My authority comes from Jesus...
"For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus' sake"-2nd Corinthians 4:5
May you love Jesus.

Dwight,
God's work is so miraculous. Praise Him that he used you to bring two new souls into the kingdom! That must have been encouraging for you. I can understand your frustration and burden for Adam. But I don't believe your words to him were in vain. Even if you said too much or felt that you did, the love you showed him by just being nice and talking with him and helping him out in the situation he was in will show him that someone cares. Who knows. Maybe someday he'll come to the Lord and you won't know it. Or maybe a few years down the road you'll run into him again in a strange set of circumstances and you'll find that he has come to the Lord. I hope that God using you to bring Jason and Keo reminds you that He still wants to use you, and maybe he needed to use Adam to help you realize where you were at. I don't know. Still so glad to hear how God is working in your life!
