Sometimes you can just feel the darkness out on Mill Ave when witnessing. This was one of those nights.
It’s not really something you can explain, but more like something you can just feel. I was trying to explain this to McKayla, and she said, “You feel it, too?”
When you feel the spiritual warfare around you, it’s important to stay strong, pray and trust in God. His Words will not return void, but will accomplish the purpose He has sent them out for. It makes me wonder who we might reach that the enemy does not want reached.
There was a group of drunk men, one of whom really seemed interested to hear and discuss spiritual things, while his friends wandered around attempting to be a distraction to him and to us. Then another guy, a self-proclaimed drug dealer joined in to mock us.
Meanwhile, we did distribute a few tracts to those walking by.
A guy stopped to drop off some clothes for homeless people, telling David that they might be more helped by those than just us preaching to them. David started to explain what we were doing and the importance of eternal salvation, but the guy said that he knew what we were doing. He seemed kind of neutral towards us, it was just a little weird.
I talked with another guy, who seemed a bit crazy. McKayla walked away, because the guy had barked at her earlier. No, that’s not an idiom, he actually, literally barked at her, “Arf!”
He calmed down a little bit while I was speaking with him, but then ran off with another friend and was messing with other people along the way. Still, he took a tract with him. Pray that he reads it when he is sober and repents of his sins, trusting in Christ alone for his salvation.
Soli Deo Gloria
