Introduction to My Own Personal Book of Acts, End of Days
Today is Sunday, December 19, 2021. And I'm beginning to write my own book of Acts, my addendum; this is God's story of unleashing the gospel of Jesus Christ, specifically through my life, here and now.
Yes, God has been here and now, all throughout my lifetime; and perhaps, that's another story for another time. Today I want to share, communicate, and document what God is doing in/through my life now.
Earlier this year one of my friends disclosed to me some very personal information. (I think this was around August 2021). By September 2021 God had led me to new people (to me) on You Tube, one being David Heavener and the other being Russ Dizdar. As I began binge-listening to radio broadcasts of Russ Dizdar I tried to discern if he were the real deal or not. I could not find anything false, or biblically untrue in any of his teachings and programs; I found him to be the real deal.
So I began eating up Russ' teachings online; I binged listened to Ragged Edge, then I began Black Awadening studies, and now I'm in the Book of Acts Field Manual Study for the End of Days.
One interesting sidenote, on the day I heard of Russ Dizdar for the 1st time, I had been praying, and I asking God already, where can I study to grow deeper in Your Word? I had been thinking about joining Steve Cioccolanti's online Bible School/classes, but it was around $500. I didn't mind spending/budgeting the money, but then I heard of Russ Dizdar, and all his free classes, and training, and after vetting him I began to follow/study with him.
By October 2021 I joined the ten million fierce prayer team then Russ passed away.
But my journey continues and now I'm beginning my own book of Acts!

On Saturday, Dec. 18, 2021, I woke up to 30-40 degree (Farenheit) weather, freezing cold! I thought about staying warm in my bed, but I felt like God reminded me, "you'll be blessed if you go (to the church outreach)" so I went.
In order to help out, I should have arrived by 8:30 AM. However, I didn't arrive until around 9:30 AM, so I thought I was too late to serve and help out, but one of the leaders put me to work!
My prayer partner and I walked around the festival grounds at the church, meeting, greeting, and talking with people. We also offered prayer to every person we met. I'd say only 1 or 2 people refused prayer; one lady took a raincheck on prayer, and so only one other lady absolutely seemed to not be open. But, everyone else, was completely open and eager, willing that we would pray together!
One lady we met was a young mom. She prayed to receive Christ! We gave her a Bible, and encouraged her to come to church services. We let her know when they are and I also asked for her contact information so that a church member can do a follow-up with her.
Another time, we met a group of kids, and prayed for them to learn and to know that they can cast their cares upon the Lord, and can call upon the name of the Lord to be saved, or for anything.
We also prayed prayers of salvation over one lady's family/in-laws. I prayed for God's blessing on all the prayers she'd been storing up in her heart for them, and I stood in agreement wither her spoken and unspoken prayers.
One little girl (about 10 maybe?) had fallen, and visibly upset (with tears in her eyes). We prayed for her, for God's comfort and healing, both physically and emotionally.
Another family we met asked for prayer for God's blessing on them, their marriage, child-rearing, and grandchildren. We blessed them in Jesus's name.
I also prayed for a lady and her own self-care and following Jesus, as she expressed she works in a tough field and sees/hears tough things daily.
That would have been "enough" for me, but God gave me a double-portion of blessing, allowing me to help out passing out jackets/toys to kids afterwards. I was alongside other sisters in Christ, meeting new people, it was such a god-send, such a big blessing to me.
Thanks God for a glorious and beautiful day of serving You, participating in Your great plan of redemption and healing of mankind. I felt honored to be a part of it, and I look forward to the next time I can serve You and be a part of unleashing the gospel, everywhere I go. Help me always be ready to share You with others, with everyone I meet.
