But this was a pity that didn’t anger Me. I dropped my head and covered my face with my hands and began to cry again. He walked over and put His arms around me, He could have said so many things but He didn’t say a word, He just cried with Me... Then He got up and walked back to the wall of files and started at one end of the room. “He took out a file card and one by one began to sign His Name JESUS, over my name on each of the cards, No!

You can’t hide the word of Jesus from others - Oh! “YES, and if you do!… you will have to answer for it at judgment ! [Matthew 25: 14-30 (talent is the word of God!) Jesus said to go out and tell everyone about him it’s as simple as that! Put TRACTS like this one on Someone's car, desk at work or seat at a sporting event or college campus etc…. it’s that EZ... to talk about Jesus... Do it daily…. Someone has all ready paved the way! When this tract was written for you My friend in Christ. You just have to make copies and pass them out for the “Lord ” Let it not be said I was silent when in need…! Let your handle of Sharing the Gospel…. be dull, not shiny and untouched on your day of Judgment ! and may God bless you as you tell other’s about…. Jesus
Thank you Pastor. I have the Light, praise God. And thank you for asking me if I’m being “bright” by sharing the gospel of Jesus. Getting out of my comfort zone and heading to the market :-) 🙏

Edit: spelling
So often we strive to“grab” the brass ring of
Life as opposed to grabbing the brass handle
of Salvation.
In the Holy Bible we read, “I saw the dead…
small and great standing before God’s Throne
of Judgment.’’ And the books were opened,
and another book was opened, which is the book
of Life! And the dead were judged out of
those books.
[Revelation 20: 12] This is evidence that God
keeps a record of ALL we do! A young man from
Washington State was spending some time in the
islands of Hawaii, when one night he had a dream,
He felt GOD had given him this dream...and I
would like to share it with you now, and how
it transformed His life to Evangelize.
He said In that place between wakefulness and
dreams, I found myself in a large room. There
were no distinguishing features, only the one
wall covered with small filing cabinets, they
were like the ones in the libraries that list
titles by authors or subjects in alphabetical
order. But these filing cabinets which stretched
from floor to ceiling, seemingly Endless, in either
direction, they had very different headings on
the boxes... As I drew near the wall, the first file
to catch my attention was one that read, “Girls I have
Liked. I opened it up and began flipping through the
files, at once I quickly shut it! Shocked to realize that
I recognized ALL of the names written on each of the cards.
Without being told, instantly I knew exactly where
I was…inside this quiet room with all its small
files was a catalog system of My Life! Here were
written all the actions of my every moment in this
life on Earth! Big and small in every detail, my
memory could not even match its exactness.
But, there it was a sense of wonder! A curiosity
coupled with horror began stirring within me as I
began randomly opening filing drawers and exploring
their contents… Some brought me joy and sweet
memories and yet others a sense of regret and Utter
Shame, so intense that I would look over my shoulder
to see if anyone was watching Me. Then, I looked in
a file named “Friends I have betrayed” which was
next to a file named. . . .
Friends I have helped on Earth. “The titles ranged
from the mundane tasks to the out right “wild, Lies
I have told, “Money I have stolen, “Comfort I have
given to grieving people and Gossip I have spread
that hurt others in the process. Some cards were
almost scary in their accuracy, even things I’ve
yelled at my parents and other things that I could
not laugh at...NOW ! as I once did.
Things I have muttered under my breath about my boss
and co-workers, I never ceased to be amazed at the
contents of God’s files. Often there were many more
cards than I expected and sometimes there were fewer
than I had Hoped…. I was overwhelmed by the sheer
Volume of the life that I had lived.! Could it be
possible that I had the time in my 35 years to have
written each one of these hundreds of thousands,
possibly millions of cards of life's events? But
each card confirmed this truth, they were all
signed with my own signature!
Then, when I pulled out the file marked T.V. and
“Songs I have listened to. I realized the volume of
time I spent listening to hour after hour of music
and T.V. alone or day after day on my cell phone
texting or playing on Facebook,... as opposed to
telling others about JESUS!
and what He has done in my Life. The cards were
packed so tight in this file and yet after two or
three yards, I had not even found the end of that
file, it went on and on! I shut it and I was ashamed,
Not so much by the quality of the music or T.V.
shows I had watched, but more by the vast amount of
time wasted in My Life. I knew that this file
represented lost time for spreading the words of
Jesus Christ.
“Like He said in the Bible, “take the gospel to the
“streets and tell other’s the “Good News” for their
sake! [“Why don't WE do this? WHY? ] Then I came to
a file marked Lustful thoughts, I felt a chill run
through my body, with my heart pounding through my
chest.I pulled this file out only an inch, not willing to
test its size and I drew out a card.
I shuttered at it’s detailed con-tents, I felt so
sick to think that such a moment like this had been
“Recorded” but there it was in black and white.!
For all to see….
Then, suddenly I went into an almost animal like
rage, only one thought dominated my mind, THAT NO
ONE must ever see these cards! I have to destroy
them at once. In an insane frenzy I yanked the
file out! It’s size did not matter to me now! I had
to empty it out and burn all the cards to hide
my shame.But as I took the file at one end, and began
pounding it on the floor I could not dislodge
even a single card! I became desperate to cover
it up.I pulled out some of the cards to destroy them,
only to find out they where stronger then steel
when I tried to tear them up! Defeated and utterly
helpless! I then returned The cards back to their
slots, then leaning my head against the wall… I let
out a long excruciating sigh and then, that’s when
I saw it! The title of the file next to me said…
“People I have shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with.
The Handle of this file was Brighter than those
around it, Newer, Shiny and Almost unused."
I sat there for a second and as I pulled the drawer
out of the cabinet, a small box fell right into my
hand! Not more than three inches long, in this box,
I could count the cards that it contained on only
one hand and then, that’s when the tears came
to my eyes.
I began to weep and sob so deeply that a hurt
started way down deep inside my stomach and shook
all through my body, as I fell to my knees and
cried out of the shame and guilt of it all.
The rows and rows of all the filing cabinets started
Swirling in my tear filled eyes, “No one must ever
know of this room or All the things I did!...but most
of all, the things I DID NOT! DO for JESUS!...I must
lock the room up and hide the key forever. But then
as I pushed away through my tears.
I suddenly saw him appear “Please NO...
not Him! NOT.. Here.! in this room...anyone but JESUS!
I watched helplessly on my knees as He walked over and
began to open the files and read out loud all of my
cards, One by one “ I couldn’t bear to watch His
response to what He had read on my cards and at that
moment I could not bring my self to look upon His
face and when I did, I saw a sorrow
Deeper than my own...
He seemed to intuitively go to the WORST boxes
in my files, WHY ? Did He have to read every
one? Finally He turned and from across the
room He looked at me with such pity in His
EYES.
But this was a pity that didn’t anger Me.
I dropped my head and covered my face with
my hands and began to cry again. He walked
over and put His arms around me, He could have
said so many things but He didn’t say a word,
He just cried with Me... Then He got up and
walked back to the wall of files and started
at one end of the room.
“He took out a file card and one by one began
to sign His Name JESUS, over my name on each
of the cards, No! I shouted … Rushing to Him,
all I could think of to say was Nooo! No! noooo...
as I pulled the card from His hand I
thought, “His name shouldn’t be on these
cards! but there it was written... in Red, so
Rich so Dark” so Alive the name of JESUS
covered My name, it was written with His
blood! He gently took the card back, He smiled
a sad smile then continued to sign the cards
with His name, I don’t think I’ll ever
understand how He did it so quickly, but then,
in the next instant...it seemed, I heard Him close
the last file draw-er shut ! He placed His hand on My
shoulder and said... “it is Finished,” I then
stood up from the floor and He led me out of
the room, “Forgiven”...!
Have you ever wondered, how God look’s at your
life? Jesus tells us that every idle word that
we speak we shall give an account of on the
day we die and to be judged by God!...
[Matthew 12: 36 It’s our job as a Christian to
first come to JESUS and then to Go out! and
tell others what He has done for us!… So what
are you waiting for??? You can’t hide the word
of Jesus from others - Oh! “YES, and if you
do!… you will have to answer for it at
judgment ! [Matthew 25: 14-30 (talent is the
word of God!)
Jesus said to go out and tell everyone about
him it’s as simple as that! Put TRACTS like
this one on Someone's car, desk at work or
seat at a sporting event or college campus
etc…. it’s that EZ... to talk about Jesus... Do
it daily….
Someone has all ready paved the way!
When this tract was written for you
My friend in Christ.
You just have to make copies and pass them
out for the “Lord ” Let it not be said I was
silent when in need…!
Let your handle of Sharing the Gospel…. be
dull, not shiny and untouched on your day of
Judgment ! and may God bless you as you tell
other’s about…. Jesus
Love Charles Stanley. True and Faithful slave to the GODHEAD.
Shalom to ALL.

Amen! How perfect and strategic Is Jesus Christ?
Thank you Pastor. I have the Light, praise God. And thank you for asking me if I’m being “bright” by sharing the gospel of Jesus. Getting out of my comfort zone and heading to the market :-) 🙏
I want to do it in school
Such a powerful message. I do my best to show the love of Jesus wherever I go. To let his light shine through me. It is my biggest prayer.

So often we strive to“grab” the brass ring of
Life as opposed to grabbing the brass handle
of Salvation.
In the Holy Bible we read, “I saw the dead…
small and great standing before God’s Throne
of Judgment.’’ And the books were opened,
and another book was opened, which is the book
of Life! And the dead were judged out of
those books.
[Revelation 20: 12] This is evidence that God
keeps a record of ALL we do! A young man from
Washington State was spending some time in the
islands of Hawaii, when one night he had a dream,
He felt GOD had given him this dream...and I
would like to share it with you now, and how
it transformed His life to Evangelize.
He said In that place between wakefulness and
dreams, I found myself in a large room. There
were no distinguishing features, only the one
wall covered with small filing cabinets, they
were like the ones in the libraries that list
titles by authors or subjects in alphabetical
order. But these filing cabinets which stretched
from floor to ceiling, seemingly Endless, in either
direction, they had very different headings on
the boxes... As I drew near the wall, the first file
to catch my attention was one that read, “Girls I have
Liked. I opened it up and began flipping through the
files, at once I quickly shut it! Shocked to realize that
I recognized ALL of the names written on each of the cards.
Without being told, instantly I knew exactly where
I was…inside this quiet room with all its small
files was a catalog system of My Life! Here were
written all the actions of my every moment in this
life on Earth! Big and small in every detail, my
memory could not even match its exactness.
But, there it was a sense of wonder! A curiosity
coupled with horror began stirring within me as I
began randomly opening filing drawers and exploring
their contents… Some brought me joy and sweet
memories and yet others a sense of regret and Utter
Shame, so intense that I would look over my shoulder
to see if anyone was watching Me. Then, I looked in
a file named “Friends I have betrayed” which was
next to a file named. . . .
Friends I have helped on Earth. “The titles ranged
from the mundane tasks to the out right “wild, Lies
I have told, “Money I have stolen, “Comfort I have
given to grieving people and Gossip I have spread
that hurt others in the process. Some cards were
almost scary in their accuracy, even things I’ve
yelled at my parents and other things that I could
not laugh at...NOW ! as I once did.
Things I have muttered under my breath about my boss
and co-workers, I never ceased to be amazed at the
contents of God’s files. Often there were many more
cards than I expected and sometimes there were fewer
than I had Hoped…. I was overwhelmed by the sheer
Volume of the life that I had lived.! Could it be
possible that I had the time in my 35 years to have
written each one of these hundreds of thousands,
possibly millions of cards of life's events? But
each card confirmed this truth, they were all
signed with my own signature!
Then, when I pulled out the file marked T.V. and
“Songs I have listened to. I realized the volume of
time I spent listening to hour after hour of music
and T.V. alone or day after day on my cell phone
texting or playing on Facebook,... as opposed to
telling others about JESUS!
and what He has done in my Life. The cards were
packed so tight in this file and yet after two or
three yards, I had not even found the end of that
file, it went on and on! I shut it and I was ashamed,
Not so much by the quality of the music or T.V.
shows I had watched, but more by the vast amount of
time wasted in My Life. I knew that this file
represented lost time for spreading the words of
Jesus Christ.
“Like He said in the Bible, “take the gospel to the
“streets and tell other’s the “Good News” for their
sake! [“Why don't WE do this? WHY? ] Then I came to
a file marked Lustful thoughts, I felt a chill run
through my body, with my heart pounding through my
chest.I pulled this file out only an inch, not willing to
test its size and I drew out a card.
I shuttered at it’s detailed con-tents, I felt so
sick to think that such a moment like this had been
“Recorded” but there it was in black and white.!
For all to see….
Then, suddenly I went into an almost animal like
rage, only one thought dominated my mind, THAT NO
ONE must ever see these cards! I have to destroy
them at once. In an insane frenzy I yanked the
file out! It’s size did not matter to me now! I had
to empty it out and burn all the cards to hide
my shame.But as I took the file at one end, and began
pounding it on the floor I could not dislodge
even a single card! I became desperate to cover
it up.I pulled out some of the cards to destroy them,
only to find out they where stronger then steel
when I tried to tear them up! Defeated and utterly
helpless! I then returned The cards back to their
slots, then leaning my head against the wall… I let
out a long excruciating sigh and then, that’s when
I saw it! The title of the file next to me said…
“People I have shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with.
The Handle of this file was Brighter than those
around it, Newer, Shiny and Almost unused."
I sat there for a second and as I pulled the drawer
out of the cabinet, a small box fell right into my
hand! Not more than three inches long, in this box,
I could count the cards that it contained on only
one hand and then, that’s when the tears came
to my eyes.
I began to weep and sob so deeply that a hurt
started way down deep inside my stomach and shook
all through my body, as I fell to my knees and
cried out of the shame and guilt of it all.
The rows and rows of all the filing cabinets started
Swirling in my tear filled eyes, “No one must ever
know of this room or All the things I did!...but most
of all, the things I DID NOT! DO for JESUS!...I must
lock the room up and hide the key forever. But then
as I pushed away through my tears.
