In the street

The street, one of Jesus' favorite places to talk about the Kingdom. The street is full of surprises, and we can do all kinds of unique experiences ! I spoke to several beggars in different cities. I spoke of Jesus, with my brother-in-law, to prostitutes, whereas I had never seen them in my city. They need Jesus so much. We invited them to our group of young people, and they came and heard the gospel !

I was with my little girl on the streets when she was 8 years old. She loved that so much that sometimes she insisted on me to go out in the street to talk about Jesus. Oh, may the Lord keep me awake so that I will always be a role model for my child ! And the Lord tells me it's up to me to stay awake and not fall asleep !

One day when we had gone to talk about Jesus, we were leaving by car, when we saw on the road a priest who accompanied a man who seemed a street man. We stopped and told them about Jesus. My little girl, who was eight years old, while the street man apologized for using experiences with Christians who had been a bad example in his eyes, gave him a word of wisdom that closed his mouth ! I was pretty shocked. I have unwittingly lived this verse of the Psalms : "By the mouths of children and infants, you have founded your glory to confound your adversaries, to silence the enemy, the avid man of vengeance" (Psalms 8 : 3).

In the street, I sometimes saw people possessed or obsessed by demons. One of them totally recovered his intelligence, while I asked him to shake my hand to receive Jesus. Even his face changed and he wondered what had happened, as if he had come out of a long nightmare. After a few minutes he returned to his state. At the time, I lacked experience to go further. The demon mocked and, not knowing what to do, I let him go.
