Evangelism and Apologetics

[ageofknowledge]

I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out how to transition into doing evangelism and apologetics as a career after I graduate with my MDiv from Nations University. Not looking for worldly solutions at this point just praying about it and if you would pray with me about it maybe I could get some revelation on how to proceed. Thank you.

Will do, age, hope you are starting to notice the methotrexate working for you. It can take a number of weeks to several months to reach full effect.

I've noticed a positive effect. It's not enough but then it's only been 5 weeks. Thanks for remembering. I see my doc tomorrow morning. I think I need a biomed with it but they cost $15k a year. Peace.

Ok!

Thank you.

All my tests came back good. 30% improvement. They upped my dose and are trying to get one of the biomed companies to cover me at 100% for the biomed

Pray my primary physician continues to authorize the referral to the Rheumatologist (which I need so he should) and I think I'm going see this stuff go into remission. Then surgery to fix my hand. Geesh.. that would pretty much put me back in the saddle. Still some ifs though. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it as it seems to be working somehow.

Interestingly, my rhematologist has taken an interest in my case and is doing everything in his power to help me.

Also interestingly, as I was leaving the doctor's office today a woman (1/2 French and 1/2 Costa Rican I found out) ran up to me and really really wanted to get to know me. She came on very suggestively touching me repeatedly and removing her fashionable jacket so I could get a look at her (indicators of interest). I discerned right away this woman had some serious esteem issues and was not a Christian. So I sat her down in the lobby and began to explain to her that her life was unfullfilled because she did not have a personal relationship with God and was not filled with his Spirit, joy, and love. I told her how much God loved her and how valuable she was to Him but unless she turned to Him she would not enter heaven when she died.

She told me she was a Catholic and going to purgatory and would be prayed out by her family. I explained that purgatory didn't exist and was a church doctrine that was added to Catholic doctrine in the dark ages... that when she died her spirit left her body and went straight before the Lord who either admitted her to heaven or didn't based on her relationship to Jesus Christ.

I then gave her the Gospel. At this point she stopped touching me and put back on her outer covering. She asked for my number. I told her that I was a single man and she was a single woman and I couldn't do that because Jesus wanted me to remain sexually pure but gave her my church information and told her she needed to begin attending. That through Jesus God would enter her heart and take the work of religion away and being a good person would come naturally as she was filled with God's spirit. She felt that I know because God was loving on her as I told her these things. I could feel God loving on her and drawing her. I prayed as I left God would continue to draw her to Him.

I'm not sure why all these women are suddenly throwing themselves at me sexually out of the blue as I go through my days. It's only begun since I made a decision to dedicate my life to evangelism and apologetics. I handle them very carefully trust me. Very strange though. I know I'm good looking (irresistable to Zoe in fact hehe) but in all seriousness: I'm not THAT good looking.

Wow, all of that is really great, Paul! Good for you! I am shy and horrible at engaging strangers with the gospel, but I should try more. I am happy for you about the meds, the doctors, and the probable surgery (interesting!). Praise God!

Thank you. Still a long way to go still and I need authorization but... maybe.

Wow I just now noticed all this. Great to hear Paul!! I hope all keeps getting better for you and that you can get an apologetics career. I am also glad to hear that all your tests came back good! I will keep praying, you just keep us posted! God bless!
