Gloooory to God! What a wonderful time of Gospel proclamation, prophetic rebuke and exposing of sin. It was glorious mayhem at the end. But first lets tell the story.
We have been praying for an opportunity to confront Obama and his supporters if they came to Charlotte, and the Lord answered. Large crowds were gathered waiting on line to get into the area where Obama was to speak outside. We had a sound permit right in front of the Police Station, which was across the street from the entrance to Obama's area. It was perfect! At 10:30 AM in the morning we began to preach with our sound system and continued until almost 4:00 PM. There was a constant crowd of thousands throughout the day. Praise God.
We had dozens of Baby-Malachi signs, along with Baby-Choice as well as Scripture signs. The crowds were very hostile and hard-hearted to the pictures. They were a hateful, angry mob of sinners raging against God, His truth, and His preached Word. Jason Dellinger, Pastor Ronnie Wallace, Daniel Parks, Pastor Billy, and other men preached to the crowds as all kinds of behavior was displayed by the Obama-worshipers. We made it plain to them it was either Jesus Christ the Lord or Obama. It was either the ways and laws of Christ or the wicked rebellion that Obama and the Demon-crat party promotes. We also made it plain we were not republicans, but Christians who desire all men to repent and forsake sin, and follow the Lord Jesus.
When Obama was finished and the crowd of 20,000 or so headed out, that is when the fun began. They went crazy. They surrounded us and screamed at us and shouted Obama-Obama over and over, while we kept preaching louder than their screaming. It was glorious mayhem, but I felt the assurance of God and absolutely no fear of them whatsoever, and I could tell they could see we were not afraid of them at all. It seemed that the Lord had us say the very things that would send them into more rage, and yet none of them could touch us. Instead one of them were arrested for grabbing our signs.
The Police were great and managed to surround us after awhile, because the crowd was literally around us and in our face. This continued unabated for at least another hour until the crowds finally dwindled and we felt the release to begin to pack up, while some from our team continued for witnessing to small groups and one-on-one.
The Devil roared through Obama's worshipers, but the righteous are as bold as a lion, and by God's grace they heard the truth about Christ, sin, holiness, repentance, our nation's sad state, and Obama's wickedness for over five hours. Lets do it again Lord!
I would be remiss to fail to add that the women that came with us, and the wives of the men who came, were outstanding. They were brave. They held signs for hours, attended to their children, witnessed to belligerent people, and did not wilt in the face of the evil all around us. Truly God's people shined this day. I am honored and humbled to know you all, and love laboring with you.
