One of my current jobs is a
newspaper delivery route in the early hours of the day. Generally,
I'm working around 2-6am in the morning. At this time of the morning
most people are asleep, but every once in awhile I see either young
people who have been partying all night or a homeless person looking
in the dumpsters.
This morning it was both, there
was some young people up likely drinking, drugging and fornicating
all night and then there was Greg who I saw in one of the big
dumpsters by some of the apartments I deliver to.
Earlier in the morning I noticed
there was a mountain bike on the sidewalk in a residential
neighborhood I deliver to. It had a cardboard sign on it that said
free as it was simply standing upright on it's kickstand. I didn't
inspect it very clearly, but I simply kept it in mind. I sort of had
the thought of how is someone going to find this bike seeing that
it's tucked away in this residential area? Anyway, I carried on
delivering the papers.
At the apartments about a half
hour later I saw this guy nosing around in the dumpster. I usually
see a homeless guy on my route at least once every other week. Most
of the time I catch up with them and give them some change and a
Bible. I believe I've done this about 4 times now, and it's amazing
every time the homeless man is nice and turns out to be a Christian!
I know they are too, because my Spirit witnesses with theirs,
although they are under a curse and struggling I know they truly
believe in Jesus. I'll touch on this later in the article.
At first I didn't think to stop and
talk to the man this morning, but I suddenly had the thought to ask
him if he wanted the bike I saw before. So, I backed up and said
hello. He seemed to be strung out some, but was amiable enough to
talk with me coherently and I could tell he was alright. I asked him
if he wanted a bike and told him the situation. He was excited and he
asked me “your a Christian huh?”. I said yeah I am, are you? And
he said he was as well. He was smiling and stunned that I asked him
to get in the car to go to the location where the bike was. He got in
and we headed to the bike about a mile away.
We talked quickly about his
situation and then he realized I knew about conspiracies and what was
going on in the world. We even began to talk about the fallen angels
mating with humans as it explains in Genesis 6. Amazing again how
homeless men are more knowledgeable and more Christian than those who
wear suits and go to church every Sunday. These truly are the end
days.
So, once we got to the bike, he saw
it and was very grateful for it even though it ended up having a flat
back tire. I gave him a handful of change and a dollar bill, which
was all the cash I had on me, and then gave him a full KJV Bible too.
At first he said he already had a Bible, but right before we parted
he took the Bible and was very grateful for it. He wasn't a beggar
type, he didn't even want to take the dollar I wanted to give him,
this was probably the case with the Bible too, although it only cost
me and my wife a dollar to get it at the Dollar Tree.
I then shared part of my testimony
with him after he asked me how he could basically overcome his sin. I
encouraged him to go to the Christian homeless shelter in the area
where my wife and I give to monthly and we know it's a good place. I
then prayed for Greg a simple prayer of warfare where I broke the
curses off him, poured the living water on him, asked God to help him
get a job, a place, and a car. I told him Satan was trying to take
him out and that the thoughts he was having was from demons that came
in through sins and generational curses. This was all in a very
condensed meeting we had outside on the sidewalk of someone's house
in a residential area at 3am. Greg then wanted to pray for me, and he
did as he put his hand on my shoulder and prayed a very strong prayer
for me and for him. I said amen and was grateful for his prayer, but
I also broke any transference of demons and covered myself in the
blood of Jesus after we parted.
I didn't think this was going to
happen this morning on my paper route, but because I was clear headed
and had my mind on God ( I listen to Christian shows all morning on
my MP3 player), well God was able to use me to minster to one of his
children who was in dire need. I'm not sure what will happen to Greg,
but this bit of encouragement and help can go a long way for someone
who is down and out and forgotten by society at large. I know because
I've been homeless before myself, and although I never had to
dumpster dive, I understand what it's like to see society flying by
and crushing me underneath it's cold progress.
Amazingly these homeless people
over and over I'm finding are not only Christian, but also they
understand what is going on in the world. The conspiracy, the
illusion, the deception does not have them! Let me say simply, it
makes sense, because those who embrace this beast system are
elevated, while those who reject it and are good because they have
Jesus in them, they are pressed down – and if the person doesn't
realize the spiritual warfare involved, they are prey to the sin that
they can't seem to shake. Satan is trying to take out the men in
America, and nearly every time I talk to these homeless middle age
guys, they are there because of divorce and owing child support. This
was the case with Greg too.
I pray for Greg, I told him he was
a vessel of honor and we need him in the fight to save souls. I pray
he takes my advice and goes to the Christian shelter and gets back on
his feet so he can be a force to counter the ever growing wickedness
in this country giving place to sin and iniquity more and more. We
don't have to be trodden down by this beast system, because we are in
Jesus Christ's system and we therefor are kings and priests of the
Almighty God. Even if we find ourselves out of a home, we children of
God will not give place to the evil thoughts of the enemy and we'll
only use our struggles to become stronger to save more souls!
Another amazing part of this story I
felt the urging to share, is that God can use me even though I'm
mostly out of the way of society at large. Even with a lonely paper
route in the wee hours in the morning he has given me people to
minister to at the dumpsters. Truthfully, it's an honor to help these
men of God more than it would be to talk with those who wear nice
clothes and live in the hills in their big houses. I would much
rather hang out with Greg than them...how about you?
May the Lord Jesus Christ bless your
soul and give you souls to minister to in your day to day life!
