It is neat how the Lord opens doors. I worked at this one pharmacy a few weeks ago and wanted to get a conversation going with the assistant manager. He was talking about buying gold and silver because the whole economy is going to collapse soon. He has more sense than all of congress. Just last week I was working with a young lady and as I was working overnight, she was my overlap tech help til 11 pm. The 9pm tech help left and I was able to get into a spiritual conversation. The open door was she had just moved from Haines City Florida. That is where my brother and sister in law went to bible college. That opened a door and I found out she was the fiance of that manager and they are trying to be self sufficient, in the sense of being able to support themselves when Armageddon hits. It was neat because I could literally see God orchestrating that event and at the very least some good seeds were planted.
This past Friday the talk was all about the bombings. I gave a little witness but it was too busy for anything major. I worked 830am to 9pm and literally had something going on all the time. In the evening we were catching up and I was left with 2 techs and tried knocking to see if God would open up any doors. The female tech had an interesting history. She had a life long health issue that caused her to have to quit high school and she was in this job training place where she could now graduate. I asked her if she ever thought she was going go die. Before there was any opportunity for any serious witnessing, it was time to go. I had to run on the way home and get almond milk for my little ones (hence it is called Obie Milk or Zech Milk! as both boys drink it) so I stopped at the grocery store and got in line there. Well, in my checkout lane checking out ahead of me was the female tech! I am thick headed but I could tell God made another divine appointment. I gave her one of my tracts I wrote and it had my website on it (ETVFC.org) so I was able to plant some more seeds here.
Here is a quick witnessing idea. When you get gas and you are at a pump that you can automatically lock the trigger so the gas pumps without you squeezing the handle, walk away and hand out tracts to everyone around getting gas. I go to the clerk and ask if he is good at directions. Yes? Do you know how to get to heaven? If I see two guys my age or younger in a truck, I will knock on their window and most of the time they open up to see what I want. If I ever get shot, I would end up in heaven so that wouldn't be too bad a consolation prize.
Summer is nice because they leave their windows open and I will toss in tracts if no one is there or hand them to whoever is in the car. Busy drive thrus are great in the summer!!!! Grab some tracts and walk by and give them to everyone in line. They think you are giving out free samples. Or grab some cheap mini chocolate bars or generic cold Soda or bottled water and hand them out with tracts to people in the drive thru. I once went on the hood of the car through the drive thru and another time I walked my boys in the stroller through the drive through. They take the tracts because they know you are a bit off but crazy enough to believe in what you are doing.
Try it sometime! I will take living breathing Christianity over dead religion any day!
