It was in the middle of the night and while evangelizing the Gospel of Christian Universalism, I heard what sounded like 5 gunshots close to me. It was a wide noise, like firecrackers or fireworks that went off. It seems to have been a manual, like a pistol, because there was a discrepancy with the pause. As though someone was purposely pulling the trigger for each shot. The time was 9:55 PM.
Exodus 20:13 You shall not murder.
Why was I there? I had my work keep me at the building late. Before going to the work building I had spread 10 Gospel tracts in the morning, and then spread 10 more late at night once my work was over. Originally, I would use the toilet paper rolls as paper to write Universal Reconciliation Gospel messages on them. Bible verses that I memorized like Luke 3:6, Titus 2:1, 1 Cor 13:8, Genesis 1:1 I would write. The fabric was softer than a regular paper, so it was more prone to ripping, so with my pen I had to be careful writing.
Luke 10:2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.
I asked my father about this, who is more familiar with fire arms than I am, and he told me that it sounded like indeed there was gunshots. He mentions how there’s a lot of illegal drug dealing in the city, so it could have been a result of a drug deal that went bad. It reminds me of a time when I was evangelizing in the middle of the day, around lunch time, and I saw two people walk by an object with a metal fence in front of it, and they put a brown paper bag on the top, and then kept walking. Strange. Then, close to my family’s house, I saw two men in the middle of the night, walk past each other and exchange bags. I did not hear these two men say anything, they just switched bags and kept walking. Strange.
Matthew 5:21 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’
I was close to downtown, the center of the city, where statistically speaking there is a higher chance for crime to appear there. I heard this noise when standing at the bus stop. The display that would normally show when the next bus would come did not work, so I called my mother on the phone so I could ask her when the bus would arrive. It was a while waiting there. I’m grateful that I wasn’t physically killed at that moment. I could have been the person shot.
Exodus 23:7 Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent and righteous, for I will not acquit the wicked.
When I heard the noises, it sounded loud. I could not get a feel for the direction, it surrounded me. But it felt very close. I could hear it echo in the air. I remember telling my mother on that phone call that I think I heard gun shots. If I am not physically killed, then I will spread the good news of Christ Jesus, even if doing that kills me. Of course, I would rather not get killed sooner rather than later, because I use this physical body as a way to spread the truth of Universal Reconciliation. If I am physically killed, then that will be that. Because I believe in Jesus Christ with faith alone I am permanently saved as the Holy Spirit dwelled inside of me when I first believed in Him, the Lord, many years ago and continues to dwell in me, even after I am killed.
Philippians 2:8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!
There was another person standing at the bus stop with me. At that building, I used the computers available to create multiple Roblox accounts that I use to spread the truth that Jesus Christ will save everyone. I have been permanently banned from that server multiple times, therefore I created more accounts. How many? I counted around 50 accounts manually created in that batch. There are more accounts I have, many more. I will spread the Gospel of Christ, even if it means I am killed. There is, of course, the risk that I am discovered and they find who I am. I have thought about that and I am mentally prepared for it. If there is something that permanently blocks my way, like a getting shot and killed by a gun, then I still consider my past experience here spreading the Biblical truth of Christian Universalism as worth it. If I were to die right now, then I consider my time with you all as worth it. So, that’s what I think of when my mind recalls the sounds of those gunshots. A friend in Christ of mine on Roblox asked me what will happen if they IP ban me, hardware ban me, poison ban me, so I told them that, because I found them as my friend through spreading the Gospel of Jesus on Free Draw, that it was worth it, and that our friendship will permanently last.
1 John 4:14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
Then, when the bus came. But it was the wrong numbered bus. Then later the actual bus came. It was the right number this time. Inside the bus, I looked out the window and behold there was an ambulance with it’s lights flashing rushing in the opposite direction of the bus. It was driving towards the area with the gunshot. I’m grateful that I made it home safe to my family. And I’m grateful that I have been given this opportunity to spread the good news of Lord Christ, who will have everyone in the whole world become believers in Him and gain permanent life.
Romans 14:11 For it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”
