Tonight we take to the streets in search for an answer
What are we called to do as Christians when it comes to the homeless drug addicts at our door?
I can only find the answer when I ask myself this:
“If that was my own child standing in the doorway, what would I do?”
Because every single one of them is a child of God.
Surely we should never give up on God’s children.
We talk about how we should rejoice when we face persecutions and troubles in life — because anything that leads us to the cross is working something good in us.
Maybe we’ve been looking at the homeless addicts the wrong way.
What if we saw them as wide-open vessels, ready to receive the gospel?
They have suffered in ways most of us will never understand.
They stand before us like beacons of light, openly visible, waiting for the gospel to be poured into them.
They are like snuffed-out lamps just waiting to be lit.
If we cannot preach the gospel to the homeless, what chance do we have when we try to reach people who think they don’t even need it?
These are the people who are visibly being torn apart by the enemy — by Satan himself.
The “nice” people who look like they have it all together often reject the gospel because they don’t see their need for God.
But these desperate, broken ones? They are wide open ground for the gospel.
What do we do when they constantly refuse help?
When every handout is consumed by their addiction, every word ignored because their mind is fixed on crack co***ne and he**in?
How do you break through?
Being in that doorway is not a wake-up call — it’s their last stand.
Without us interceding and praying with them, their fate is sealed.
A homeless person has nothing left; the devil’s plan has fully worked out in their life.
We must intercede.
We must surround them with prayer.
We must rebuke the devil and his attacks.
If we truly believe everyone is loved by God, do we believe these ones are loved by God too?
What would Jesus do?
I know so many of us are worn down — used, lied to, seeing the same faces every day until we become numb.
How do we overcome this? What are we supposed to do?
What would Jesus tell us?
Would He say just ignore them… or would He say never give up?
Constantly give them the gospel.
Constantly plant that seed every single day.
We easily give up on strangers — even family — when they keep refusing the help we offer.
But maybe the answer is to never stop.
Show them love in a controlled way, but deliver the gospel in a way that never bends.
Every organisation that serves the homeless needs to be on the same page.
The gospel message must be preached clearly and consistently across the world:
These people are under attack from Satan.
The only way out is through prayer — handing your life over to Jesus and joining us in prayer.
We should fast and pray for them.
We should hit the streets.
We should go on prayer walks and surround them in prayer — with a day of fasting before we go.
We have real stories and testimonies of homeless people and addicts who were never given up on.
One persistent person (or a small group) kept sharing the gospel and broke through. If we multiplied that by thousands, there would be thousands more people saved and thousands more testimonies.
Just look at Gram Seed.
He was a violent, homeless drug addict and criminal — written off by family, neighbours, teachers and police as a lost cause. His life ended in a coma, with doctors telling his mother to switch off the life support. But a group of Christians prayed for him. He had a miraculous recovery, met Jesus, and his life was completely transformed. Today he is the founder of Sowing Seeds Ministries, powerfully reaching prisoners and ex-offenders with the gospel — and countless lives have been changed through his work.
That is the moment we sit with them.
Give them the sandwich and the gospel.
Give them the clothes and the only way out — Jesus.
We can give them the fish, but we need to lead them to the Fisherman.
We can give them bread, but we need to give them the Bread of Life.
We need to lead them to the Person who gives the Bread of Life so they will never go hungry again.
Jesus is the Bread of Life.
The gospel of love is what lasts forever.
And the Bible is a weapon — it must be used against the affliction the enemy has put upon them.
We can keep them warm.
We can feed them.
We can clothe them.
But if we stop there, we are missing the most important thing.
We can give them the key.
We can hand them the roadmap out of the nightmare the devil has served them.
That roadmap is the gospel.
That roadmap is a real, living relationship with Jesus.
The enemy has a plan for them — to kill, steal, and destroy.
They are living out the devil’s plan right now.
But if they open their heart to Jesus and cry out for help, everything can change.
The affliction they suffer from is so deep that only God can heal it.
It is impossible to overcome without the power of the Holy Spirit.
So we feed them, we shelter them, we love them
and we tell them straight: “You are being attacked by the enemy… but Jesus has come to give you life, and life to the full.”
What is the right answer?
What is God’s answer?
