Zeal without Knowledge

Saints,

I just wanted to share one of my early evangilizing experiences.

I was in a detox centre getting off drugs and I was still not in my right mind. I was reading the scriptures frequently and thought I was ready to go make disciples.

I left the centre on a pass and went looking for people to share the gospel with. I found an Indian woman under the influence of drink and I asked her "Do you know Jesus?" and she said "I know the Alpha and the Omega". I looked at her intensely and said "Look, I don't know what kind of wizard crap you're into, but I am trying to talk to you about Jesus!"

That was pretty much the end of the conversation. It wasn't until months later that I discovered in Revelations who The Alpha and Omega actually was. I remember feeling pretty foolish. That sweet woman did not even get angry with me or try to explain herself. Aargh, zeal without knowledge is a dangerous thing!

God probably brought you to that lady so she could pray for your brand new witnessing ministry!

He knows what He is doing. 8-)
