For we are overcome by the blood of the lamb and the words of our testimonies.

Last night as I was on my way home from church, I noticed I was running low on gas so I stopped to fuel up. As I enter the gas station a random man from out side yelled to get my attention. Side note: (it's 11:30pm too late to be getting gas in the D) I ignored the "random" man and proceeded to the cashier and told him how much I wanted on pump 7. Something on the inside told me to wait to pull my wallet out. So I obeyed. The "random" man came running into the station with great precedence and his hand tucked underneath his shirt as if he was armed. I then said within myself "something bad's about to happen I need to leave now".📷😳The random guy began to shed light on his situation. He told me that initially he came to do something stupid but after seeing me he couldn't. I asked him out of fright "What do you want?! He asked me if I could buy him a propane gas can to keep his house warm for him and his family that night and if I could give him money and food for the night. I stood there for a minute trying to process.He began to further explain how he was addicted to drugs, and how he's praying that God would deliver him from what had him bound. It was at this point I knew I had to help this man. I say this with all meekness; I bought the man his gas can and gave him some leftovers I had in the car and gave him some pocket change so that I can be on my way, side note (I already thought this dude was going to rob me so I just wanted to GO!) He came up to the window and said I just need one more thing, I'm like what now dude ?! He said "Can you Pray for me"?📷😩 I replied, "Certainly". At this point I started to record because I didn't know what was going to happen next. I want to assure you that this man knows nothing about me but he said one thing that pertains to who I am. My point is as the church we've got to actively operate in the boldness and authority that the holy spirit employs us to and not be fearful to take our ministry to unfamiliar territories. When you put the church within walls you cater to the notion of religion, you place limitations on where the gospel is shared and place stipulations on who receives salvation. Salvation is for all people of every form. (Please forgive me for my stumbling prayer , as I was trying to not let fear over take me.) 📷😳📷😊 *Please click the link at the top for video footage* #BeBoldInTheKingdom #ServeTheLord
