Well, its been an eventful Sunday today.
I could see out of my window some people knocking door to door carrying information in their hands. I guessed it was either Mormons or Jehovahs Witnesses. Normally, I would just answer the door and say no thank you but I rushed upstairs to my computer and and printed off a Christian tract pointing out the errors of both the Mormon and JW faith and what the bible says in reply to their doctrines.
The knock came at the door and I asked the man and woman standing there where they were from, they were JW's. I asked them to listen to me and I read to them The Truth, I was mocked and kept being interrupted (the man made a comment about me not pausing for breath!!). The woman rebuked me and said what I was saying was all lies. They wouldnt listen. You could see they wanted to run from me but I stopped them, I said I would only take their magazine if they took the tract I was reading from but they refused and continued to argue. I shut the door.
I have been feeling sad all day about this. Not because of their reaction to me but because of their reaction to the Word. I also felt that I could have done more but they wouldnt listen, it was like chipping away at a heart of stone using a toothpick. But what I realised is that not my words but only The Word can break hearts of stone and make the scales from eyes of the decieved fall away.
If any of you feel compelled, could you please pray for them with me?
Heavenly Father,
I bring before your throne of grace the two Jehovahs Witnesses that came to visit today. I forgive them Lord and ask if you would speak to their hearts and show them the truth.
You are the one true God, the king of the universe, the alpha and omega and ask for your mercy for the lost and deceived. I ask of these things through your Son, Jesus Christ, the light of the world, Amen.

I agree with you in prayer.............. Praise Jesus you planted a seed for Him.
I had a personal experience years ago.............It seemed this was the street of choice...........or road if you will.........
Groups of J.W. were afoot.......... I let the same female in here several different times.
We went back and forth.........as you did.........She never sat.....
She always stood near the door............
So I stood near her................the next to the last time she was here.
She told me............ she has no cross.
She said would you wear a gun around your neck as a symbol of what shot your loved one.
Well............. I was weary of her ................
She came to the door one more time.............. Just waiting for me to diswelcome her................. They get points in Heaven if you send them away.......
I decided today you can get them.................
As she knocked on the door........... I took a large wooden cross from the wall and held it up to her................ I never spoke.............. She never spoke.
I never saw her again...........
We all have a point of no return..............that was mine..........
I did all could...............
I pray for her and so many like her that are lost in that J.W. religion.
They are stubborn................set in it........like concrete.
We all know some good people..................
And they belong to the J.W..........
Another thing about the J.W. door knocks...........They often come when you are not prepared.... (As will Jesus)....
...... You may be going through Lord knows what........
You must immediately click into gear and be ready to match them.
In the meantime the air conditioner stopped working yesterday and its 101 degrees- today, that’s just inside the house...the washer is off balance the baby is crying and some smoke is clouding up from the stove, the phone begins to ring off the hook, little Tommy is tugging at your blouse to say he’s has to go-0-O.... doing the potty dance, and tiny Terry wants her lunch now, the dog is barking repeatedly with excitement Company! Company! Company! The moment can seem like; nails scratching a chalkboard.......now you know you could say something to this person in behalf of the Lord, its time!
* Truly... this is a difficult circumstance for me to be all I can be.... Jesus died to save the world......
.... If we can only say four words on His behalf...and behalf of that soul.... we did something........
4)....Jesus died for you....
and maybe one some rare occasion, all you need, IS a CROSS.
One day at a time... God help us to be more for ...Him... Amen
