So I just got off a Roblox LGBT+ game full of teens in the LGBT+ community. I am extremely shy, like Moses having stage fright, not only am I shy in person but online. It took a while to start typing, but then the words and sentences flowed aimlessly one after the other and by the time I got done writing a sentence, the next one was already in my mind ready to be delivered. And I just preached and shared my testimony regarding the trans lifestyle I was living before I came to Christ.
Not soft cookie dough preach and neither did I condemn anyone, but rather spoke about sin, the enemy's plans, God's plan for salvation, the good news of Christ and repentance for over an hour. Some stayed and listened the whole way through, some were atheists who listened and somehow, in some way defended me when I was accused of “homophobia”, asked if I could go somewhere else, and even when I explicitly said that God hates sin, that LGBT is like messing with God's painting, and preached about repentance, still some people listened.
Others listened from far away and I didn't know they were listening until l was ending it, when about 2-3 people came up to me saying thank you. I just told them all glory goes to God Jesus. Someone was listening the whole way through next to me and towards the end, he ended up telling me He had prayed this morning for God to give Him a sign that He's still there and that this confirmed it and that he loved listening to my preaching and my story (testimony) and from others, I got a thumbs up. I didn't think of myself or how great I am, but rather tried to put myself in their shoes and acknowledge that they are the same way I was living and that if Christ rescued me from that and depression, then they can get rescued too.
What is shocking is that I explicitly said LGBT is a sin, I shared my testimony, talked about repentance, the crucial aspects, didn't water it down, was serious through it all, and things that no one would wanna hear, but despite this, there were a few that actually appreciated it? Even the hard pills to swallow? And I'm very shy and quiet, I don't usually step out of my comfort zone, but you know how you're hungry sometimes and just wanna eat already, I couldn't NOT go into the game. I was just eager to do so.
And time went by so fast, I was so immersed in preaching that time flew by.
Considering all of this, I just want to say to people who are shy that it's ok to step out of your comfort zone, seek guidance from God and that even if you're getting hated on, remember that “greater is He living in you than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4).” Also remember that even if at least one person gets saved or comes to Christ, heaven rejoices at that one person. God will leave the 99 to find the 1. Through out it all, remember and keep your focus on Christ and not on self. Everything positive that comes out of it and interactions you have that are good, praise God, thank God and give glory to God. Remember who brought you out of darkness. It wasn't you, it was Jesus Christ. All of this is to not make you feel prideful and boastful.
Don't, also, only speak about the merciful aspect of God, but the wrath of God too. Don't leave it at God loves you, but explain why He does and don't just mutter the word sin and repentance, but rather expand on what that means even if it's a hard pill to swallow for those around. All of this is to not make the preaching pleasing to the ears and eyes (if online), but to speak in truth while showing love.
But most importantly, seek God and His kingdom.
