Looking at almost every person I encounter and having the thought in my head that I may be the last roadblock or "detour" sign that keeps that soul from an eternity in Hell keeps my perspective straight.
Every person is a potential "target" to be reached with the Gospel.
Being sensitive to the Holy Spirit is very key to reaching people in these days when people's hearts are filled to the top with self-pleasures. Distractions hit hard and fast, there is no time to think of eternity, no time to think that maybe, just maybe, the idea that we are here by chance and have no soul or spirit could be a false idea, and there really is a God...
Allowing God to lead you by the Spirit when you minister to people will bring much fruit! More fruit that getting a sandwich at Chic-fil-A, more fruit than not going to Home Depot or using Johnson & Johnson products, or Chase Bank or a hundred other companies that support gay marriage or the killing of babies.
On the Streets
So far this year, I have not been turned down a single time speaking into people's lives on the streets or in stores. There have been several salvations, numerous people prayed for and many lives touched by God.
Friday I prayed with a young man on the North side of Fort Worth to accept Jesus right in the street. He was open and responsive and poured tears on the sidewalk. But it started with a prophetic word into his life that I didn't even get exactly right. The Lord showed me one thing and I tried to explain it in my own words and got it wrong! But God was still merciful!
I don't randomly run up to people these days just to "preach", it can be downright dangerous, especially in the places I find myself working... When the Spirit leads, when I feel a heavy burden for the person, it means the field is ready for harvest!
Do I shop at Home Depot? Yes I do! Have I prayed for people in the isles and parking lot of Home Depot? Yes and Yes!
I believe our Spirit witness is not just important, but absolutely necessary in dark places.
