No prayer no power

Although doing Sept 30 in 30 this year is not my first time, as Aug ended, to be honest, I was quite nervous (again) about Sept 30 in 30.
"God equip me and help me to love You and love who You love, the lost souls"...I prayed.
When the Sept month approached, this time I have decided to give one tract to each person and pray for that person rather than "rushing it out". Many of the tracts that were given away were to strangers and I did not want to forget about how they look like, what they were doing at the time I meet them and what we were talking about. I wanted to be able to depend on God in prayer each time I give out a tract to that one person. First week went passed quite smoothly. I was enthusiastic and prayed faithfully as I go. Second week approached, I began to be busier with other commitments of the week, I prayed less for each person and for my own personal 30 in 30 outreach, God gave me a really strong wake up call, a blunt rejection.
I remembered last year, I had given it to her, she took it. We have been chatting quite often everytime I am there. This year, when I decided to give it to her again, she rejected me with a crude comment...I was actually in a bit of a shock...She said to me, "Do not give me that again. Someone else was trying to give me one of these. We received some last week and we had to clear them off at the end of the day (extra work for them before they close off for the day)". I said to her, "Oh...this is very important to read. She replied bluntly, "It is important to you but not important to me! So, do not give it to me again"
God guided me to pray for her that day. God also reminded me that I needed to depend on Him everyday to do His work. "No prayer, no power." I did not use to understand this saying (Quoted by one of our mature leaders), then I realise the words that God placed in my heart that day. I needed to depend on God in prayer to do His work and His Will. His Work is Spiritual work, how can I approach it with my own carnal strength!? Of course no "power!". God is the One who will enable (empower) us, His servants to do His Work, for His glory and purpose.
From then I continue to pray earnestly, and in humility, committing each person God placed in my life for the rest of that month of September, 2017. I continue to keep tracts in my bag and car, with a prayerful heart seek for the opportunity that God gives each day.
It is indeed my blessing and privilege to be able to serve my Almighty Creator King, Thrice Holy God.
"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." Revelation 4:11

Hold the Tracts and the Faith

Returned to a charity table which i walked away from earlier. Managed to share the gospel for a solid 10-15 minutes and gave a tract each to both Susan and Bliss. Bliss was initially quiet but asked questions regardless divorce etc after i shared the gospel. Bliss mentioned that her mum maybe looking for a Church nearby. Truly thanking the Lord for the opportunities given: 6 tracts given out in the short span of minutes! Was initially doubtful of giving all away but now i'm out of tracts before my work shift even started! Thank the Lord for the courage and wisdom! - Today in Willetton

Fierce vs Fears God

Saw a fierce Transperth Officer standing there. Wanted to give him the tract but I was so scared and walked away. Thank God for giving me the courage to turn back and passed him the tract. Surprisingly, he's so friendly and accepted the tract happily telling me that he's been reading it since young. And he attended church since/when he's a child?(Can't remember clearly whether he's still going to church) - Yesterday @ 8am in the Perth City

"I got one of these and that's how I got saved"

After gym, I sat down on the bench in the city while waiting for my friend to knock off from work. I could feel someone is looking at me and trying to walk over to where I was sitting. Feeling a bit scary ,  tried to run away. When I was about to stand up and walked away, suddenly a man walked in front of me and gave me something. It was a tract from his church. Then I took out mine and say we can exchange this. He saw it and said: hey, I know this tract , previously I got one of this and that's how I got saved. Was quite encouraging while I heared that. Sometimes I might even wonder  how this small little tract could let people come to know Christ and got saved. Thank God I didnt run away and through this It's really encouraging to know how amazing God works really  are. We are just a vessel used by God all we have to do is to do our best and God will do the rest.

Isaiah 6:8 - Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here [am] I; send me.
