Chapter 26: Evangelism And Giving

"Evangelism and Giving For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
(JOHN 3:16)

The vision of heaven that I have been so blessed to receive impels me to witness to others. I buy whole Bibles and New Testaments to give to others. I mark all of the important passages within them, write notes to explain about Jesus, and include a tract concerning salvation. I give these out every time I have the opportunity to witness.

Since December 1999, I have also included our church bulletins and a tape of Mary K. Baxter's A Divine Revelation of Hell in the materials I hand out while witnessing. I put all of these in one package and, each time I go out, I take several with me. I have been giving them away as the Lord leads me.

I never bring any of them back. I talk to people everywhere'in grocery stores, parking lots, the mall, other stores, at the post office and in waiting lines at banks or anywhere else. What a privilege it is to witness for my Lord wherever I go.

My desire to talk about Jesus is so overwhelming that I truly cannot help myself. Sometimes this is irritating to others who go with me; therefore, I usually go out alone.

I have learned that the best way for me to begin witnessing to someone is to simply ask if they believe in Jesus. Many will respond, 'I believe in God.' This usually means that they don't know anything about Jesus. It is then that I begin to present the gospel message.

I do experience some rejection when I'm witnessing, but this doesn't bother me at all. I have found that younger people and African Americans are very easy to witness to.

Almost 99 percent of the unsaved young people I witness to will take the package of materials I give to them. Sometimes the Holy Spirit leads me to pray for them at that moment. I pray for their salvation and cast the devil out each time. Whenever I cast the devil out, a fiery anointing comes over me and I jump. I believe this happens because it makes the Holy Spirit happy. I never plan what to pray for people; the Lord always directs me.

Many people I've talked to know the Lord, but they don't have time for Him. So many Christians work on Sunday. A few times when I've tried to witness in the parking lot of the mall, the minute I mentioned the name of Jesus, people will say, 'I don't want to hear about it,' and they will run from away from me. In one case, a lady said to me, 'It is because of people like you that I don't want to go to church.'

I'm sure she said this because I had mentioned Jesus' name to her. To her, unfortunately, I was doing a terrible thing. She just didn't realize that all I wanted was to see her get saved. I asked the Lord to bless her and save her.

My heart really breaks for those who don't want to know about Jesus. I can never forget those who are in hell and are trying to escape from the fire, but they can't. This happened to my parents, because they never had a chance to hear about Jesus. This is one of the reasons why I must share the name of Jesus and the gospel of Jesus with people everywhere. They need to know Him. Thank God, many who don't know Jesus do like to hear about Him, and they are happy to receive the message and materials I offer them.

The Lord wanted me to include Mary K. Baxter's tape in the salvation package I hand out. It was Mary's A Divine Revelation of Hell tape that someone at church gave me after my revelation of heaven. At that time I had no desire to listen to it, because I had just experienced such an awesome experience of heaven and one experience of hell. At the time I felt that one vision was enough for one lifetime.

Two years later, however, the Lord reminded me about this tape and I had a very strong desire to listen to it. When I listened to Mary's words, I immediately believed everything about her experiences of hell.

I heard that Mary's book has been translated into many languages. I know it was translated into Korean. One of my nephews in Korea read it, and it scared him to death. He believed all of it, and he is now going to church.

I believe 100 percent of Mary's A Divine Revelation of Hell because it is so very biblical. The Bible says liars will never see God (see Rev 21:8). The Lord also told me that every word Mary has said about hell is true. He said, 'Some people's punishment will be worse than what Mary has said.' He went on, 'Mary's revelation book is very important for everyone to read, because this punishment could happen to anybody, even many believers. '

As a result, I have such a desire to give this tape away. I have given many hundreds of these tapes to others. I believe each tape I have given out will touch many other lives.

I have learned many things about people while doing street ministry and witnessing. I have given the witnessing packages to many Christians who don't go to church or can't go. I have also given them to some Christians who go to church so they can minister to others by sharing these materials with them.

Several Roman Catholics have received the packages. I was surprised to discover that some of them don't consider themselves to be Christians. I usually say to them, as long as you believe in Jesus, you are Christian.

Likewise, I have talked to a few Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses. These precious folks, however, have never taken my package. To everyone to whom I give the package, I explain about Jesus, and I tell them what the tape is about. Usually they are very pleased by this. Even some unbelievers have shown a hunger to have the Bible.

We must remember to pray for Christians who find they have to work on Sundays. I believe Jesus' coming is so near, and that Satan is trying to keep Christians busy on the Lord's day. As I've witnessed, I've learned about people's workplaces. For instance, if there are five people in the workplace and two of them are saved, and three co-workers are not saved, in many cases the unsaved ones never hear about Jesus from the other two who are saved.

I know this often happens, because when I witness to the three who don't know about Jesus, then explain to them about Jesus and salvation and offered them package, most of them were very glad to receive it. Sometimes they will even say that they know their co-workers are Christians, but that they've never told them about their faith.

We need to share our faith with all those we know, for witnessing is the most important work we can ever do for our Lord Jesus. He died for sinners. The Lord told me, 'If those who are saved don't testify, how will unbelievers come to know Me?' I believe when Christians don't talk about their salvation with unbelievers, it makes God unhappy.

THE TWO VALLEYS

When we go to heaven, we will see that there are two different valleys outside the gates of the kingdom. I don't want to walk around in the valley forever. The Lord showed me these two valleys twice. Those who find themselves in the valleys remain outside of the kingdom of heaven.

When we go into the kingdom of heaven, and live there forever it will be 1,000 times better than this earth has been, even when we are walking here with our Lord Jesus. He has prepared all the things for our pleasure, because He knows what we like. Remember, almost all things in heaven are similar to what we have on earth. The beauty of earth can never compare to heaven. Some will say that they cannot believe these things because they are not in the Bible.

That is a matter of personal choice. However, I have discovered that almost everything the Lord has shown me has its roots in the Bible. The Lord has chosen me for End-Times prophecy so He can show me some things that are not clearly outlined in the Bible (see Joel 2:28-30). This is happening because He is ready to take His people to heaven.

THE COMPLETION OF THE STREET MINISTRY

After eight months of street ministry, on July 30, 2000, the Lord told me that my street ministry was over. It thrilled me to hear Him say that I had done well.

While I was doing this street ministry, I had a burning desire to give the packages out, and almost everyone accepted them. After the Lord told me my street ministry was over, I no longer experienced the same desire. However, I still tried to witness and give the packages to people, but seven people rejected me in a single day. I took great comfort in knowing that everyone I gave the packages to were God's chosen ones, and I fully believe they will not perish.

I enjoyed every moment of street ministry. I still witness every chance I get, but it is not the same as the ministry I enjoyed during those eight months. After each time I witnessed, I felt joy unspeakable. I walked around with a smile on my face and people looked at me with wonder.

Now you can understand why the angels rejoice and dance for joy every time a sinner repents. For every person I had the privilege to lead to the Lord, I continually prayed six days a week. This reminds me of a farmer who plants seed in the ground, and he knows he must water, fertilize and cultivate the seed in order to see it bring forth fruit. Intercessory prayer is one of the most powerful spiritual forces that exists.

A DESIRE TO GIVE

Every Saturday night after my bedtime prayer and every Sunday morning after my prayer time, the Lord pours upon me a very special and strong anointing. This covers my entire body, and many unusual things happen to my body during these times. It is hard to explain exactly what takes place, because both my body and my mind feel so strange to me. These powerful anointings always happen to me when I have to do the miracle dance on Sunday mornings.

Ever since I became a Christian my desire has always been to give. At first I envied those who were able to give tithes and offerings, because at that time I was not able to. We had just moved from California and my husband wasn't saved.

It was a year and a half later when Roger was saved. During the second week of his Christian life he began to pay the tithe, because that is what I asked him to do. In response, our blessings began to increase more each day. Until the present, we have never had to ask for any material thing. God continually blesses us more than we expect.

I am not bragging about this. I just want every Christian brother and sister to obey the Lord's Word about this, because I know each one who does will be blessed in the same way we have been. I can never not give to anyone who needs help.

My husband and I do have limitations when it comes to giving, but I want so much to be able to give more. My plans for giving when the Lord blesses me with His promises of financial resources are to support mission ministries and the homeless in this world. I told the Lord that when He makes me rich, like He has promised that I will be, there will be no hungry children in this world.

As I have grown in the Lord, I have learned a very important lesson about giving. Early one Saturday morning in May 2000, I passed by the children's car wash, and I stopped there to help them out and witness to them about Jesus and to give them a salvation package.

As I did so, I noticed there was a group of people on one side who had some food. They were very friendly and invited people to talk about Russia and an evangelistic crusade that would be held in June. They were collecting offerings for the Russian church.

I had only $40 with me, and I immediately gave it to them. When I went home I felt a deep desire to give more. My husband wasn't at home that day. Suddenly I thought about $500 in cash that I had saved for my own emergency use. So I asked the Lord, and He told me that I must give it.

When I returned to the site of the car wash and gave the money to them, I felt very happy. I noticed from the list that I signed that mine was the biggest offering of the day, because I signed when I gave.

After I got into the car, I began to laugh with such joy that I couldn't stop laughing all the way home. The minute I walked into the house I began laughing harder and I was jumping up and down with unspeakable joy. That whole day I experienced great happiness, and I wished to give even more.

The reason I was so happy is because I knew the Lord was happy. In fact, He told me He was very pleased with what I did that day. Ever since that month, the Lord has blessed us more than we could have imagined. For a while I didn't even tell my husband, but a few months later I told him and he seemed pleased.

Usually we discuss whatever we give, but this time I did it with my own savings. From this I have learned that whoever gives with love will be blessed a hundredfold. The ability to give makes me want to praise God more and more.

I have been saying to the Lord that I want everybody to be able to afford to read my book, especially young children. I can imagine how they will be excited when they realize what they have waiting for them in heaven, where there will be pleasures forevermore.

Our Lord has a very special love for children, and I share this very special love for them. I pray for young people and youths alike each day, asking God to save them.

My husband and I have no desire to have more than what we have already. The Lord blessed us with whatever we needed before we knew Him and we have always lived comfortably. We never have been rich, but we never really cared to be rich. Right now our desire to be rich is solely for serving the Lord and letting our lives make a difference to others.

In fact, I would feel very uncomfortable if I had an expensive house and car. This is because I realize that so many people are dying of starvation and there seems to be a lack of funds to send out for the important work of missions around the world. I believe, even if I don't want it, the Lord will bless me with a better house and car, because He already showed these things to me.

Before I became a Christian, my greatest desire and most enjoyable activity was shopping. Now all of that desire to shop is dead. However, I do want to buy nice clothes to wear to God's house for worshiping my Lord.

I know He looks only on our hearts, but I want to respect and honor Him at all times. When we are standing before almighty God, we should look our best. I used to feel very guilty when I wore nice clothes and jewels to church, because I knew some people couldn't have these things. However, the Lord told me never to feel guilty wearing what He blessed me with.

Even though I communicate with the Lord in the Spirit, I feel He is so real to me and He is watching over me both on the inside and the outside. Therefore, I fear displeasing Him so much. I tell Him: 'Whatever I want to do does not matter to me anymore, Lord, because pleasing you is everything to me. My life on this earth means nothing to me if I cannot please you.

He has answered my prayer this way, 'Daughter, what you are saying is very pleasing to Me.' Usually His words are very few.

This really refers to every Christian. If you have beautiful clothes or jewelry, please don't feel guilty about wearing them. The Lord has told me that we must not hide from others what He has blessed us with. It is good that unbelievers know that Christians are blessed. I have noticed that many Christian sisters feel very guilty about wearing what they have at church. Let us not worry about other people, because showing them what God has blessed us with gives them hope of the Lord's blessing in their lives as well.

This I know: The Lord is very pleased when we look our best in His house. Many times the Lord has told me, 'You look beautiful, sweetheart, in the church.' After all, what doesn't He know about us?

WORSHIPING THE LORD

After we moved to Bethel Church, I only danced four times during the morning service. Then I began to dance only on Friday nights, for the revival services, from sometime in June until November of 1999.

After we moved to our new church, Church for All Nations, I didn't do the miracle dance for a while, but during each offering time, the Holy Spirit would take my body to the altar for dancing. This dance I have never trained for, but the Holy Spirit moves my hands and body according to the music. Each and every move is repeated three times.

Many people don't realize how important worship is to our Lord. While we are worshiping, we will receive the anointing, fruit of the Spirit, healing, God's desires, baptism of the Holy Spirit, and unspeakable joy, peace and deliverance. Whoever worships with a sincere heart of love and thanksgiving to our Lord, and seeks His face without distractions, will receive an awesome blessing.

A LONG PERIOD OF PREPARATION

I asked the Lord why every one of His promises for my work and publishing the book are taking so long to be fulfilled.

He said: 'In this way, daughter, I am showing you that your work is a very important work for this last day. Your miracle dance ministry involves many things and many people. Therefore, I had to prepare all the people who are going to minister in your ministry and to put other things in place. Most importantly, I had to purify you completely, inside and out. Your compassion for others and all the other areas of your life are being transformed to be more like Me when I was on this earth.

'No matter what the situation, your heart must be able to put Me first at all times, so you can obey me like I obeyed My Father when I was on this earth. This dance I created for you to do must be completely pure at all times so the Holy Spirit can do the dance. Therefore, I had the training take place in public for so long to help you become very bold, confident and not afraid to stand before anybody.

'No matter how noisy it is around you, or how many people you're surrounded with, you must be able to focus only on Me. Any noise or any person cannot interrupt your mind. That is why your eyes are closed and I have you put earplugs in your ears while you're dancing. When I am completely satisfied with the preparation for your ministry, then I can move everything like a burning bush. Nothing will be in the way.'
