A friend suggested I write more details into this and present it as a blog but I think the minor details aren't necessary to recreate the effect it had on those present.
lol I remember doing that once (preaching hell and damnation was the topic of the comment) but not on purpose and it led to the most exciting experience I can recall. I had a bunch of tracts in my pocket, all different. I saw a lady and her friend stopping to watch what was going on at the soapbox that day, so I walked over to her and took out a tract from my pocket and read it before handing it to her. I laughed when I read it and explained to her that I had numerous different ones in my pocket "and guess which one you get". on the outside it said something like what can change to end up in hell (or something like that) and on the inside it was blank. "I guess you don't have to change anything to get where that leads." I said, and she laughed too and seemed eager to talk. Anyway it turns out she was Jewish and her friend with her was a satanist. Quite a discussion ensued and a crowd was gathering around. The satanist was almost foaming at the mouth. Then from the corner of my eye I saw a big guy beelining for me and after a few minutes he shouted "It says in the bible that I'm going to be judged for everything that I do" It startled me but I blurted out "hey, you are going to be judged on every thought in your head" He said "I know. Do you think that's fair?" I said something about 'who doesn't wake up in the morning feeling bad about a slip of the tongue that we wished we had never said' Then the satanist jumped in about he never makes mistakes and the guy just stood there observing then walked away. I still pray for him because I could tell that he got a clear vision that day of the spirits behind the things. And it was his longlost church training that allowed him to see it I'm sure.
Anyway, you would have to have been there to see that but it was quite an experience.
