Speak Out
For “fun” or “curiosity”, have you ever sat down with one o’ them “fortune tellers” ? You know, the ones that claim they can look at the palm of your hand, throw a few bones or flip a few tarot cards and predict your future or tell you stuff you already know about yourself ? I know me and Pennye Jacobs Lewis did one time while we were in New Orleans … you see em all around the area in front of the church ( St. Louis Cathedral ). Seems like Pennye was pregnant at the time and one of the questions we asked was whether it would be a boy or girl 🙄. ( What was we gonna do once it arrived, drive back over there and tell er she got it right or wrong !? ) People are so willing to throw good money after bad … even if it’s for the fun of it. And by the way…God tells us to stay away from these people and their evil workings ( Deuteronomy 18:10-12; Acts 19:19 ). These are an “abomination unto the Lord”, thus, avoided, left alone and not to be relied on. As Forrest’s mama always said,” Stupid is as stupid does.” God wants His children to trust and rely on Him and Him alone ( Exodus 20:3-5 ). Ol’ girl wound up in the middle of one of God’s “divine appointments” and was used to spread the message of Jesus’ ability to “tell everything she’d ever done” … and they’d never met before that day. Many believed in Him because of the woman’s testimony. And because of His ( Jesus’ ) words, many more became believers ! They said to the woman,” We no longer believe just because of what you said, now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world” ( John 4:39-42 ). Too often, we keep silent about our “encounters” with Jesus and what He’s spoken to us … shame on us. “God” things, “God’s words” and “divine appointments” don’t need to be kept a secret !! We’re given opportunities every single day to shine the spotlight on our Savior and to glorify GOD. Let’s not waste any more of em ! And don’t waste any more money on them “dark” forces or Ouiga boards ( ask yer papaw or Mimi 😄 ). By your testimony, God’ll attract others to His salvation !
