Day 9 of - Timothy's Challenge

Day 9 of - Timothy's Challenge

Today I had to go to the unemployment office to talk to them about me maybe getting to go to College, so while I was there I thought I would just read at the street corner between Garrison Ave. and 6th street.

I started of by reading from Matthew Chapters 26 - 28.
At the spot you see in this picture below.
Some went by and honked their horns and saying stuff like way to go peach the WORD.
Then some drove by saying other stuff, which one guy even stopped there at the light what seem like awhile just yelling at me, and saying; "Read to yourself!"
I did not even look up I just prayed that the LORD would help me and keep on reading, then I could not help it, but the more he keep on yelling at me the more I felt like just smiling as I was reading, and the next thing I knew he just left.

I will tell you that even with all the times I have been out at the parks, farmers market, ect. That being out on a street corner by myself (well not really the LORD JESUS CHRIST I know was with me), but it was the scariest time in my life even more scarier then getting on a big roller-coaster ride and you are just fixing to go down that big dip.

But a little while after I had started reading and praying in my mind from time to time to the LORD JESUS for help as I was reading, I felt just a calm come over me.
I started facing this tall building and could tell that my voice was echoing from the build, so I then stayed facing it on the corner and praying that the LORD JESUS would help me get HIS WORD out there to the people that need to hear it today.
I then could even see some people begin to line up at the window of the building to hear what was going on out there.

After I got done reading the WORD of GOD, I then preached a message using the Law and Gospel of Our LORD JESUS CHRIST.
I could see some people that was walking by stopping from time to time to listen, and some of the people that was waiting at the stop lights rolling down their widows to listen to that crazy man that was standing out there on the street corner preaching.

After I was done preaching I began to head back to my van and saw some people that was sitting down on a bench about four or five blocks from were I was, so I though I would give them a tract and talk to them encase they didn't get to hear the message.
They told me that they was able to hear the message all the way down to were they were sitting, We then just got to talking about the things of GOD, when a police officer walked up to me and asked the people that I was talking to; "Do you know this man?" and they told the Officer; "yes sir he is a friend and we are just talking."
He then asked if he could talk to me for a minute and wanted to see my drivers license. I told the office; "Yes Sir, have I done anything wrong?" Then two more cop cars pulled up and a few more officers had gotten out of their cars and stood by as we talked.
The officer told me that some one had called in a complaint about a drunk man that was out here yelling and that I match the description of the man they called in about.
I then told the officer that I was just practicing my Constitutional Rights of Freedom of Speech and I was just reading the Bible and Preaching at the street corner over there, and I notice if I was facing that tall building my voice was echoing." He then told me OK, I got a call and I am told to check on it, so that's all I am doing."
I then asked him; "Sir am I breaking any Laws, is it OK for me to read the Bible and Preach on the street corner?" The Officer then told me; "You are not breaking any laws sir, you have a right to read and preach on the sidewalks." Then he said; "Thank you sir and have a good day."
I shook his hand and told him; "Thanks sir for doing your job and you have a great day sir."
Then we both went on our ways, and as I was walking back to my van again this time I was thinking of the verse in Acts Chapter 2:13, as I was thinking in my mind about how someone had called in on me saying I was a drunk.

Acts 2:13 (KJV)

"Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine."

Please keep everyone that heard the message of the
Gospel of Our LORD JESUS CHRIST today in your prayers.

May all Praise and Glory go to
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!!
