I think the Holy Spirit convicted me...praise be to God! I was reading Pastor Joe's blog...I ended up reading about Charles Russell and those who followed after him.
I remember "Lidyia" and "Cristy" were at our house a long while back. "Lidyia" mentioned how one of the JWs had fallen asleep or died or whatever...I've wondered if she excepted Jesus,the real one,before she passed away and "Lidyia" just didn't know it...
It doesn't matter what it takes out of me...it doesn't matter. I want to be a missionary for JWs.
Could I be persecuted? It's a very high possibility. I've read about things that have been done by the JW religion...if I put a few pharses I've read I'd probably be warned by LT that that i'sn't appropraite...But, I need not be scared.
The LORD is my light and my salvation;whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1 The Holy Spirit is teaching me not to fear them...what they could do. Through reading about what brothers and sisters in Christ have went through for Jesus' sake...many who lost their lives I've been strengthened. Like the little boy who was crucified (I think he was 12) or the little girl (I think 10) who was killed by her daddy. I'm reading in myVOM devotional (it's in parts) about Varia, I think is how you spell her name, who is/was in Russia. I don't know if she died, I haven't finished to that part yet. She was part of Communist youth yet she came to Christ.
He's brought me a long ways. You may remember how I used to fear them when I first joined AAG around the middle of April. I don't know if all the fear is gone...but He's working on me. He's made a great improvement!
Anyways, I need to ask for your prayers. This is a big step. Satan has already tried to throw things at me...last night/very early this morning was especially difficult...And trying to go into this without asking for prayer on here would makes things more difficult.
So, please pray. I need His grace to give me strength to be a missionary to the JWs...

Thank you dear brother. :hugs: I'm so pumped! I can't wait to be used by Him to help start witnessing. I just need to keep walking and He will take care of the rest. Between that and waiting to know when they'll (the church I now go to) start baptizing people...that would be the next "big" step in faith. I can't do anything...He presents the opurtunities and He is my Strength! And I know after baptism He'd still have plans. I'm excited to find out what He has in store next. :)
