challenges we go through!



Friday the 25th of June, i was with street level witnessing in minneapolis downtown on hennepin and 10th street! when i felt like God was telling me to go talk to a young gentlemen on the bench, so i told my leader who i was with, and they gave me the go ahead! :) so as i was walking i felt like God was saying " no matter what happens ill always be with you " and im like okay thanks God i already knew that but thanks anyways! so i walked up to him and i asked if i could sit on the bench with him and hes like sure! so i did. and i was just sitting there for a minute and im like God what should i say, i have nothing right now, so i introduced my self, " hey my name is Kierra, im out here witnessing and you seemed to be a little bored/ lonely so i thought i would come and talk to you, do you come here often? he replied " i live here im homeless" i said "o im so sorry, do you have a job or anything? " " he said" "yeah i sometimes Kill people" i thought okay this guy is either A. crazy or B. he maybe is in the military. but i didnt think much of it so i kept talking to him, and i said do you have a family, all of a sudden he went silent. and i felt like at that moment i was supposed to tell him that Jesus loves him and that God can forgive you from your past, and then i told him also about the Cross and the significance for it! AND every now and then he would flash his shirt/jacket open and i was like what in the world, and i kept telling him Jesus loves him, all of a sudden i see he has a Gun in his jacket/ shirt and i see he is reaching for it so i grab his arms and i look at him in the eye saying " God doesnt want you to do this, and i dont think you do either, Jesus loves you" and he started tearing up! and then he reached again for the Gun and i did the same as before telling him Jesus loves him, and that God doesnt want him to do this ect. and then all of a sudden he grabs the Gun and points it at me, and i keep telling him Jesus loves him, Jesus loves you, he can forgive you. and he leans over to whisper somethign in my ear and he says " i killed my family" and then he cocks the gun, and i think to myself either im going to live with Jesus today or God your going to protect me, so i keep telling him JEsus loves you Jesus loves you Jesus loves you, and then all of a sudden i hear God telling me, " your done here you did all that you could do" and he put the Gun away and as i was walking away i told him jesus loves him, i later found out that he had 5 or 6 guns with him hidden in the bushes and all i can say is God was with me that night!
