Grocery Basket Evangelism

 

Here I Am, Send Me! (below)

 

Quick stories, examples of evangelism, Gospel communication encouragement.

“The Truth needs to be proclaimed, yes even at the grocery store.  I had an amazing interaction Sunday at the store, and I’ve asked the Lord to use me whenever and wherever He can. I was telling the cashier I was short on money, and had to put something back.  I know he is a Christian, so I said, ‘I’m one of the richest people on earth, so don’t let it fool you.’ Then a customer in line asked, ‘Can I have your number?’ My reply: ‘I am a Christian who is a member of the wealthiest family on earth. We have room for you if you care to join us!’ Of course everyone in line heard me, and I’m positive Doug the cashier was sooooooo pleased with my open invitation to several people that day!” Jaye

UPDATE: Recently, earlier in the morning, I prayed that God would use His people, including myself. More grocery store evangelism. Just a few hours later, after parking at the grocery store, I headed toward the store and an older man handed me his basket. He had an NFL football team’s jacket on and so I asked him about how his team is doing. He lit up and spoke about that team. I simply listened and then, began to minister the Gospel, the Good News of how Jesus came to the earth to die on the cross for our sins and how He calls us to admit we are sinners and believe upon Him. He was also informed that there are millions in hell right now, who will never escape, because they didn’t stop their life and repent…… God is good saints. Isaiah 55:11    

To say that the Great Commission is a big deal with God is a gross understatement. It has no significance with wolves who could care less that Jesus died to save those He commands us to reach. Wolves are consumed with budgets, building, and branding – with nickels, noses, and numbers. Repent now and follow Jesus.

RECENTLY: Once again, as I was leaving the grocery store, headed for my vehicle, a dear lady who was driving into the parking lot, arriving to get groceries, rolled down her window and asked me if she could have my basket. I said sure. Then, to seize this opportunity for Christ, I asked her if she liked reading and she said “Yes.” I then asked if she likes devotional books as I opened the copy of the Moments with Our Master devotional I was handing her, showing her a random day and showing her the format is a one-per-day with Scripture, a little talk about that Bible truth, and a prayer. She loved it and received it gladly. So simple.

“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11

RECENTLY: More grocery basket evangelism! Again! I shop for groceries at a store where it takes a quarter to get the basket and then you get the quarter back when returning the basket. So, today I just put the basket back where it belongs and left the 25 cent piece in it as I carried my 2 bags to the vehicle. As I finished putting the bags in the bag of the vehicle, a dear lady brought my quarter to me! Totally kind gesture. I thanked her and as she was walking away I kindly asked her “Mam, do you like to read?” She stopped and gave a resounding “Yes.” So I said “Do you like devotional books? If so, I’d like to give you one if you wish.” And she said “Yes, thank you,” and was very appreciative. As usual I opened it and showed her how it’s just one page daily with a Scripture, a little talk, and a prayer at the end. She loved it! Bam!

Saints, getting people to begin reading the Proverb of the day – there are 31 of them – and/or a Scripture-rich, biblically sound daily devotional is getting people into God’s Word for themselves and is profoundly important, as it begins grounding them in Christ! See 2 Timothy 2:15.
 
Also, went to a certain store today to pick up their special price ground beef and was able to talk again with the young man behind the counter and sensed a quickening to encourage him to read Psalm 37. He responded favorably and said he’s definitely going to read it.
 
“Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.” 2 Corinthians 5:20
 
You and I are “ambassadors for Christ” and not a political party or movement or anything temporal. Those things are okay yet nothing is more important than the glorious Gospel work of Christ’s “ambassadors” (Matthew 9:35-38; 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 24:47-49; 2 Corinthians 5:20, etc.).
 
“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:” Philippians 3:20
 

Recently, while getting a haircut at a new place, I was able to give the gift of the Moments 365 devotional to the lady (the owner) who cut my hair and the hostess who takes the money. In every scenario I simply ask the person if they like devotional books and they usually say yes. Then I show them a copy and open it for them to see at which time they gladly receive the gift. These are like handing out candy!

Please keep the ministry outreach in prayer. The supply given by God’s people is vital to the requests coming in from Jesus’ laborers both here and abroad! God is able! See 2 Corinthians 9:6-11, etc.

The Result of Real Repentance [podcast]


“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” Titus 1:16

WE DON’T NEED JUST ANOTHER “CHURCH SERVICE” OR “SERMON,” WE NEED TO REPENT AND WHEN WE REALLY DO, WE WILL OBEY GOD—OTHERWISE WE DIDN’T TRULY REPENT.

“In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
2  And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
3  For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4  And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
5  Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
6  And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
7  But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
9  And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
10  And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” Matthew 3:1-12

“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” 2 Corinthians 13:5

When we repent – re-turn to God: Do we want to see who has truly repented, beginning with the examining of ourselves?

  1. We will be washed afresh from our sins and have “times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord.” (Acts 3:19)
  2. We will forsake our lives in this fleeting world, deny self, take up the cross daily and follow Jesus (Luke 9:23-24; 14:33; 17:33).
  3. We will live holy “in this present world.” (Titus 2:11-14; 1 Peter 1:15-16)
  4. We will be about our “Father’s business” and not our own – the Great Commission He gave us (Luke 2:49; Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20).

Forsaking All?

What does that mean?

“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33

One must be willing and obedient to put aside religion and familial bonds to follow Christ, or he will not and “cannot be my disciple” says the LORD. Non-negotiable. If Jesus Christ is not first place, first priority of your life, you are a hell bound counterfeit who shall suffer the flames of eternal justice, damnation (Mark 9:43-49).

Jesus says:

“He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.” Matthew 10:37

Repent. Turn wholly to the LORD, putting all of your trust in the LORD your God, who “is a jealous God.” Jesus Christ is the name of the only LORD and Savior!

“For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:” Exodus 34:14

Jesus says He will “spue,” vomit, reject anyone who dies without Him being their very “first love” their “first” priority—and talk is cheap (Revelation 2:4-5; 3:15-16).

God’s Universal Way of Fighting with Todd Tomasella and Travis Bryan III [podcast]


“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil” Hebrews 2:14

“Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” Romans 12:21

“Powerful message! Thank you. I was always a fighter. But I fought for myself. And have had to learn through the cross life that meekness is not weakness. It’s actually strength in God to keep quiet and not have to retaliate when attacked or persecuted. But taking a step back, and asking God to bless them while lifting them up in prayer to the Lord. This is the bowels of mercy extended to those who attack us and to know as Paul did, I am the least of all the saints. And let God repay. Romans 12:19.” Karen Cochran

“Two very deep resonant radio voices on fire!” Justin

Man Shall not Live by Bread Alone [podcast]


“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” 1 Peter 2:2

Spiritual growth occurs when we ingest the words of God, embrace, incorporate, and walk them out.

“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12

The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.”Psalms 33:11

The graphic message below is from a dear sister in Christ named Cassandra, on SubStack:

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23  For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24  For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25  But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.” James 1:22-25

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31-32

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, thank You for finding and forgiving me and saving me into Your eternal family. Help me realize the utter importance of feeding on Your Word daily. I love You dear LORD Jesus. Help me to love You more LORD. Help me to feed, to nourish the members of Your body with Your Word. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
