Noah

I do not know how you got here! But nevertheless, here you are!

I must explain myself. When I was about 16 years old, God asked me to share my faith with others. I of course, said yes, it was an emphatic, yes!

Piano lessons downtown, Max Store, snacks, conversation, pause, repentance, prayer to be continued

That began a lifelong experience of speaking to complete strangers. I haven’t really found any books about this topic, not specifically anyways. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any it’s just that the books that I have come across on the books that I wanted to read… Well, I guess I never wanted to learn how to do it because God was teaching me?

Personal evangelism was a course and bible college. It had the whole system mapped out for us of how to evangelize. It irritated me right away, and I look back on it now and it’s no wonder because it was so different from what God had been teaching me.

so I’m 62 now so lets go ahead and do the math! 62-16=46

There are 46 years of experience that I must outline to you.

• God exists
• He has chosen to limit himself in regards to working in and through human beings
• He created us long ago
• Was he lonely? I want to give God a great big hug! I gotta go back and read the Bible all over again even though I’ve read it countless times to find out just why the God that I know would create us except that I know that he loves us he loves his creation.
• There is the enemy, Satan
• He hates us. I don’t understand that hatred either.
• But what I do know is that he is a deceiver. The Bible tells me that, and my own personal experience tells me that his lies have gotten me into trouble have hurt. My life have limited my life, but thank God that God never gave up on me, he pursued me; when I drifted away he came to get me.
• But this whole world is filled with God’s children, and he is seeking to find them, remember that he is limited himself to working in and through human beings to reach other human beings
• In my personal case, he has raised me up and trained me to speak with total strangers
• My Messages has become more and more simple over the years. The most recent manifestation has been that I am not necessarily to tell these people who I am I mean, phone number email address, the organization that I work with, a.k.a. my church affiliation.

That is my business card!

I give it to those God has brought into my sphere. So that they will remember the conversation, and me.

There is no name, no identification.

I’m not going to make a great big fuss over this, but I think it’s interesting that Jesus did not tell people who he was all the time. Like the man that he healed in John chapter 7? The blind man he went later to find out who he was, because I don’t know. So also the man in John five at the pool of Bethesda. Seemed to like to do this. If we can attribute so base a motivation to our Lord Jesus Christ. Like after he was resurrected, and there was those two disciples on the road to MAS. He actually hid his identity from them and they didn’t realize it until later, saying did not our heart‘s not burn within us.

But he revealed himself to the disciples, and to the woman at the well.

So it’s important that you realize that I’m writing in pencil. This that I am writing can be edited. What I mean is that I’m still trying to figure all of this out.

In Abraham Maslow’s towards a psychology of being, he talks about Dcognition and cBcognition

As a bus driver for a large transit company, I had the freedom to dwell to a high percentage in the B cognition category. Maslow Himself says that none of us is completely free of D.

Administrators and managers have to do the D, while conciliator and teachers have the luxury of B.

This may be a little bit of a tangent, but this whole area of criticism versus praise. Another book comes to mind and that’s how to win friends and influence people. The very first thing that Carnegie teaches is that nobody likes to be criticized because nobody thinks they’re all that bad even desperate criminals.
