      @@LivingWaters It's sad but no one can change someone that believes this way because they are not thinking about tomorrow or 10 years from now that actually goes pretty darn fast, they are only thinking about themselves and how much excitement I can give myself today no matter weather it's good or bad . People don't want to believe that there will be judgement on them when it's their turn ,they just don't think about it at all to be honest MOST DON'T ! We all are sinners and it is hard to not keep your brain from thinking sinning thoughts every single day ,I have believed in the Lord since I can remember and I know that I have prayed every night as a child and now still as an adult . I have tried my whole life to change the way I think as far as the things that are bad and I know there bad ,that is what discourages me and so I am sure the majority of the people on this planet is feeling the same way I can only pray and pray and ask for his mercy in all my imperfections . I do know for a fact and my Lord knows too that I love him with all my heart and soul . I do have a question I have always wanted to ask , what do you think of all the NDE'S that are all pretty much saying what they have witnessed and they have all been 90% the same NDE'S and have you really dove into an watched peoples account's??

    Ray, these discouraging interviews actually encouraged me to not give up when things don't go well. Who knows, these people may hang on to this encounter and God may touch their hearts later. I'll never forget being at a flea market when I was younger, and a really strange looking man passed by me while i was looking at a table of books, and he looked me in the eyes and said," the Bible was the best book in the world, " i felt really happy and calm when he passed me. Even tho7gh he was very odd. The quick encounter left a mark on my life and here I am years later, a born again christian. Looking back I believe he may have been an angel. The point is, even these quick encounters could be the spark that gets them thinking about God and lead to repentance. Thank you for your work. 🙏

      I had similar encounters before I was born again . I will never forget those Christians and they are etched on my mind forever. One instance (circa 1981) I was on an elevator and 2 christians asked me if I was Christian. I said, of course I am because I am a catholic and that makes me a Christian" It wasn't until after I understood the full gospel I saw how many times God was edging me to the good news through believers.

      It's about the heart ❤
      When we have surrendered to Christ and become born AGAIN and a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) then we have the Holy Spirit and part of the fruit of the Spirit is Agape Love (Galatians 5:22-23).
      After true conversion, it becomes "natural" (according to our new nature) to talk to others about Jesus.
      It's as natural for us true converts to think and talk about the centre and love of our life (i.e Jesus) as it is for grandparents to talk and share about their grandchildren, parents to think about and talk about their kids and girlfriends to talk about their boyfriends (and vice versa).
      The Holy Spirit also gives us words to use.

    In my experience some encounters are easy and seem to flow so smoothly and then others are difficult just like these. But I keep sharing the gospel. Gotta keep sharing. We’re planting seeds. One plants one waters but God brings the increase.

    I have people give me these same exact perceptions of Jesus, sin and what they perceive is passable as "good". I'm so glad you didn't delete these Ray. I'm personally dealing with people close to me who profess to be Christian but say the same things in this video! Literally a mix of things every person in this video says is what I'm dealing with! I don't know how to get them to see God, his commandments and his salvatory message as God describes it and not their own version of it. Thank you for this video
    God bless you brother

    We have no way of knowing how God will use the TRUTH that you spoke to these people. God’s Word will not return void. Thank you for your faithful obedience and for being a good example to the rest of us. You are a blessing. This video encourages me. It seems like I have more encounters like this than anything else. I often feel like I must have done something wrong.
    We wrestled not against flesh and blood, though it does feel like it sometimes. I’m praying for you and these people.
    Thank you again!

    It will be amazing to find out how we have affected people by our words and actions. We are called to plant the seeds of life. When faced with open resistance like Ray faced in these clips, he did the best he could do by reacting with love and concern. Holy Spirit can take difficult situations like these and bring life from the words and actions that Ray displayed. We are the messengers, and we don't always know when we touch an individuals heart, or even know how we did it. Holy Spirit is the Gardener in this world, He brings seeds to life. God bless you Ray.

    Sure glad you kept these and shared with us, I just learned something. I was taught growing up Baptist, not where I stayed, that sin is sin. By listening to this I realize that I am aware, by my own search and reading of The Word, that "no other God's before me and Love your neighbor", are He greatest commands,, showing each sin is not the same, nor the same punishment, which you just taught me! Thanks for all the hours you put into with people and your devotion to The Lord❣😇🙏

    Thanks for admitting that there are some "hard cases" out there that can leave us very discouraged at times. What's amazing to me is that so many people stopped long enough to engage in a conversation. Please don't delete this video! If we think we're going to win converts every time, we might be tempted to give up after interactions like those. I'm so grateful that our only responsibility is to tell people; the results are up to God.

Once we start it goes away and I pray a lot in my head for the right words etc.

    Well done for persevering Ray! You've no idea when or how those seeds you've shown will flourish. God will put other people in their lives to get their attention - you've done your job, now let God do the rest.
    You've no idea how following you for many years has influenced how I interact with any and every person I meet and the Are You a Good Person tracts have been a great conversation starter or something I can give someone who's 'in a rush'. May God continue to bless you in all that you continue to do 🙏

    That was great Ray. Back in your home country, New Zealand, I seem to have encounters like this very often. And they are discouraging. But I found that the more I tell people the Gospel, the more the fire within me grows. "Samsons was strong when he had his hair. Our strength is in Jesus and the Gospel. When we don't go out and share it, it's like getting our hair cut and losing that fire." Watching your vids also encourage and also teach me. Thank you.

      Thank you Sister In Christ & Fellow Aussie! You are not alone! PTL!
      P.S. I'm becoming increasingly convinced that World-Wide Christian Ministry is becoming diluted because we are compromising our standing up for Genesis as Real HISTORY! Many Christians world-wide are tolerating Evolution as proven when Genesis CLEARLY states that God MIRACULOUSLY created everything in 6 Days (Which makes Evolution IMPOSSIBLE!) But if Christians don't highlight the MASSIVE amount of Evidence supporting Genesis, then we are compromising 2/3 of the Scriptures! If there wasn't a REAL 1st Adam, then what is the need for the 2nd Adam (i.e. Christ)??
