Will the Real Christians Stand Up                                                   Will the Real Christians Stand Up

         this point on, spend about 10 minutes worshipping and talking
         to God when you wake up. The Holy Spirit is dwelling in you
         now, so he will give you what to say. Do the same in the mid-
         dle of your day and before you go to sleep at night. This en-

         sures that you are in communication with God during all parts
         of your day,” Katey said.
              And lastly, avoid close relationships with unbelievers be-
         cause  it  can  weaken  your  spirit,”  Katey  said.  “If  you  work
         around them, God will place a hedge around you. But other

         than work, stay away. There’s going to come a time in your
         walk when you’re strong enough to witness to unbelievers like
         we’re doing. But until that time comes, focus on strengthening
         your new relationship with Christ Jesus.
              If you stick by these guidelines, you will be just fine,” Sa-
         maria said. “How does that sound?”

              “That sounds awesome,” the man said as the tears began
         to fall again. “I’m so grateful and thankful to be here with you.”
         Then, looking upward as if he was staring at his best friend, the
         man said, “And Jesus, I’m so glad that you would take the

         time out to show your love and kindness to me.”
              “Young ladies, you don’t know this but when I told you that
         I had something to take care of quickly, I was talking about
         going home to commit suicide,” the man said as he began to
         shake uncontrollably.
              The girls gave the man another  group  hug and began

         shedding tears of their own.
              “Thank you, Jesus,” each of the young ladies said repeat-
         edly.
              The man and the young ladies departed. The young la-
         dies, filled with exuberance and joy, continued reaching out

         and telling as many people who would listen about Jesus. And
         they had great success.
