Perspective from a Christian Homeless Man

[@chamomiletea5424]

“Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” Luke 9:58 I love you so much Jesus. Thank you for being with me.. I've never really had a home.. you know my family's history of chronic alcoholism and poverty, so my home is with you. My faith is in you. My trust is in you. Not what is in the world, and I can't wait to see you in heaven.

[@Shadow-KJVMAT24]

Amen. Jesus Christ is our home. Like Jesus had no place so do none of us. One day. One day soon we will all be home soon. Godbless you in Jesus Christ name

[@timothy4131]

Yes I was homeless for 8 years and a believer in Jesus and I'm still homeless even though I have a roof over my head because this is not my home and people don't know that God was homeless too Jesus is God in the flesh and he said those things about the foxes having their dens and the birds having their nests Jesus was homeless too this is not his home nor is it my home my home is to be with my father forever I'm just transiting through

[@elazhar6174]

i was an athiest man who had it all and lost it all. From the satisfactions of a hedonistic life to the struggles of security guards waking me each morning from the bench i slept. I cried unto The LORD, and He guided me to a life rich in the joys that can only come from above. To all those who struggle, Trust in The LORD and believe in His Word. Do right by Him unto men; give ear unto His council, and He will make thee shine beyond belief. Proverbs 22:1

The church should take him on as a missionary to the homeless.

[@RenewalCreations]

"loving the poor"....i am so sorry that makes me want to cry. We dont love the poor. I have known the Lord for years, lost everything, and had to go through being homeless and shelters and found when everything fell apart my church turned me to government programs and even the ministers in the church run shelters were cruel. To love the poor .... Good grief, we don't know what that looks like....sometimes it is just people think a tolietry kit or bowl of soup is enough. Other times so called Christians are cruel. To hear him say it so gently, and to realize that is the same gentleness we should show these lost lambs...gosh, hurts from personal experience and just hurts because we should care and love the poor and go above and beyond to care for theur physical and spiritual needs. More than just assuming they need a job or are on drugs.

[@YuitoScarlet]

When I hear so many make the assumption that you shouldn't give even money makes me sad. As if every man on the street is a raging drug addict All the hearts have hardened when it comes to the poor.

I was homeless for 8 years and Jesus was working on me all the time I was a Believer who backslidden at the end of my last year there I had been warned the whole year by God strangers coming up to me telling me it's time to go home with your mom and I wouldn't listen I was stubborn and prideful and finally God hit me with congestive heart failure diabetes and a bulging disc I couldn't even walk I had an ambulance picked me up I stayed 5 days in a hospital 44 days all together in a healthcare center and Hospital I was in bed most of the time wearing diapers because I have blood clots in my legs and they wouldn't let me walk I got to come home with my mom she took care of me for the first few months then I got to take care of her because she had to have open heart surgery and then when she passed away she left me a house God is good and I pray for this man that the same thing happens for him

If it brings anybody comfort, Jesus was homeless while He was in ministry on this earth. Also was Elijah, and you could argue all of the apostles, except for Peter (who still lived and went everywhere the other apostles did). Jesus knows!

[@betheyajacobson2863]

I fear this too and im only 16. But i know that God is a God of love. And that nothing, whether ill or good, can touch my life without God allowing it. Ive gone through turmoil, yet i still endure because i know with all my heart that God is good, and that He whos done a good work in me will finish it until the day of Jesus Christ. I know He will be with me. I pray that you will come to Him and cling to Him and come to Him for refuge.

A middle wage income is no lpnger a giareentee that you will not be homeless. 83% of American families are ONE PAYCHECK AWAY FROM H0MELESSNESS. ..and that is a PRECOVID statistic It has only getting worse. Affordable housing, or lack thereof is the number one cause of homelessness.

I am in the risk to be homeless, i don't live in America, but i believe God is my protector. I spent a lot of time in loneliness, my family and my parents starting rejecting me beginning of my childhood, and in time this have increased si badly. Recent i have lost my job because i don't have experience enough, and everyone seeks experience. But i don't give up, i pray for my family and God be with me. This situations change you dramatically. :( Everyone can be in this situation if is fired by his job or anything like this!

I hope this ‘pastor’ helped find this man somewhere to live?? It’s more than rolling down the window and saying hi: “14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” James 2:14-17.

Jesus cares for the poor Jesus once said to a man who followed all the Commandments his whole life. But when jesus asked him, to give all his money to the poor, and follow him. The man said "i cant" Gods love for us is not measured by wealth. It is so much more than that

🎵If you can use anything, Lord, you can use me If you can use anything, Lord, you can use me, take my hands Lord, and my feet, Touch my heart Lord, speak through me. If you can use anything Lord, you can use me!🎵 God doesn't need perfect vessels, or 'beautiful' vessels, He only needs WILLING vessels. I have come to the conclusion recently (and I've been homeless too), that one of the best healing ointments for all of the deep woes of life, is serving God, and being HIS hands and feet to a dying and broken world. And besides, the Bible says that 'He is near to the broken hearted'. Our prayers should always be "Lord, I know that you are a GOOD father, and that you loved us so much, that you sent your only so to die, -in our place- on the cross, and because of that, I love you back, and care for the things that burden you. Please, break my heart for the things that break yours."

The Rich Young Man (Mark 10:17-31; Luke 18:18-30) 16And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 20The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? 21Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. 23Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 25When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? 26But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. 27Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? 28And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. 30But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. Luke 6:20-21 (NIV) “Looking at his disciples, he said: 'Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 2 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich. 1 John 3:17 But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Galatians 2:10 Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do. Proverbs 14:21 Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner, but blessed is he who is generous to the poor. Mark 10:21 And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” Psalm 140:12 I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and will execute justice for the needy. Luke 4:18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, Proverbs 22:22-23 ESV Do not rob the poor, because he is poor, or crush the afflicted at the gate, for the Lord will plead their cause and rob of life those who rob them. Proverbs 31:8-9 Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.

15Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? James 2:15 To Pastor : 41“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ 45“He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” THEN, come follow me. God gives the homeless and poor to test us, and money to test us.

The 'pastor' says he doesnt know how to help the poor? really? how bout he empty his pockets and go sleep on the street for a week. maybe then he will understand. but its very unlikely he will do that because im sure he feels he donates and gets his tax deduction. then asks the flock to pad the pockets of the church 'for the poor'
