In these cases, your copy of the Constitution has very little effect on the officer of the law who is about to throw you in the slammer for one or more of the following:
- disturbing the peace:
- loitering:
- disorderlyconduct; or,:
- failure to maintain locomotion. This lastchargewas made against a crippled preacher-friend
Varnel Watson
Yes its happening already Joseph D. Absher Jesse Morrell
Jesse Morrell
I can’t think of a time when street preachers haven’t been arrested. It comes with the territory

Noise ordinance
Joseph D. Absher
It was the bouncers Saturday. Sometimes you have to stand your ground but not every time.
Varnel Watson
Joseph D. Absher post your St Pete street preaching We have at least 2 street preachers in this very group that almost got arrested for preaching last week in Trump’s America mind you
Joseph D. Absher
I should post my young friend but I can’t. He wanted to preach. We went over a few verses. He stood there and let the whole crowd go by. Oh well it’s a start.
Varnel Watson
Yes you should Jesse should too
Joseph D. Absher
Jesse got a lot of video
Joseph D. Absher
Me I got nothing but stories and rejections lol
Varnel Watson
Yall should get body cams for live streaming
Joseph D. Absher
I wish I had one when those bouncers were in me Saturday. I couldn’t move.
Joseph D. Absher
You guys should get out yourself. Unless your homebound or something
Varnel Watson
Ft Payne was plenty get out for me Randal did now show up to help me He was your ways in IL I think – may still be
Joseph D. Absher
Man I’ve begged please let somebody go with. They do it for a awhile and get promoted out of it.
Jesse Morrell
If they threaten you with arrest, you can walk away and then file a free speech lawsuit.
If you get arrested, you have to wait for the charges to be dealt with before you can pursue a case
Joseph D. Absher
No thanks brother. The couple times I’ve had to stand my ground the Lord came through for me. It was scary though. They surround you and start making demands. Unless of course you’re asaulted then it’s “please move along.”
Varnel Watson
Next Fort Benning, then Fort Jackson
Joseph D. Absher
Well if the bishop don’t slip out for a cold one or go around the corner for a cigarette. You wouldn’t believe the stuff Christian’s try to pull. God forbid they’re pretty girls they’ll go crazy can’t even talk
Varnel Watson
Dan Irving may offer some theological legal advice
Joseph D. Absher
It’s not enough for you talk about the Lord Jesus Christ and the great commission without your “Trump’s America”
Varnel Watson
GOD is in control
Joseph D. Absher
From your lips to God’s ear
Varnel Watson
Spoken from the midst of the storm
Joseph D. Absher
One guy actually got it this morning. I been working with him three months. The little light came on! It was like Jericho the walls came tumbling down.
Joseph D. Absher
Mr Troy Day not to put you on the spot but I think you mentioned you’d like to kinda put the street preachers movement together at least the videos. Jesse Morrell I think you have access to that video last year, “The great words and railing debate” can we see it here. It’s two hours but I think it was an important moment.
Varnel Watson
we offered – no one really cared it seemed
Joseph D. Absher
Everybody’s busy. And there’s a broad spectrum of doctrine. Some good some not so good. Plus some do this everyday they give their life to this work. Not everybody can do that
Varnel Watson
do what?
Joseph D. Absher
Troy Day were talking about street preaching
Varnel Watson
sorry – my point was not well taken
Joseph D. Absher
Some of the situations I get in are not suited to filming. I wouldn’t be welcome. Maybe it’s an excuse. But I really have to focus on what’s going on. Besides church people don’t understand what it takes sometimes. Calling someone a liar or a hypocrite seems unchristian to the gentle flock of God
Varnel Watson
There is this older guy preaching campuses with biker vest. What’s his name again?
Joseph D. Absher
God bless the street preachers and Soulwinners, grace and peace, faith and patience, wisdom and strength, courage and fire, a word in season to him that is weary and a holy rebuke in Jesus name!
Varnel Watson
There is this older guy preaching campuses with biker vest. What’s his name again?
Larry Dale Steele
Looked more like screaming and name calling instead of preaching
Varnel Watson
John 7:28 Then Jesus spoke with a loud voice as He taught in the house of God
Varnel Watson
Matthew 23:33 “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape?
Larry Dale Steele
You can throw out scripture all day and it still won’t convince me to scream and tell people they are going to hell is preaching the gospel in both of those people instances he was dealing with religious peeps
Varnel Watson
IF Scripture cant convince you I sure cant
Larry Dale Steele
Im just saying the scriptures you give didn’t back their screaming and yelling
Larry Dale Steele
There is a difference in preaching in a church than the streets
Varnel Watson
well you can say that and then you can try get out there on the street corner and deliver your message the way you know It will be very hard to be heard
Larry Dale Steele
I have and I do
Varnel Watson
Hopefully more recently than 1975 like Randal W Deese 🙂
Larry Dale Steele
Lol every chance we get
Varnel Watson
A fellow street preacher here Joseph D. Absher
Joseph D. Absher
This is a long over due conversation.
Thank you Mr Troy Day.
Please to meet you Mr Larry Dale Steele.
I believe we can have revival in this country but it will take boots in the ground. I believe men ought to hear the gospel with passion conviction and clarity. And that Jesus name should held high and be kept holy and sweet and full of faith.
Larry Dale Steele
Joseph D. Absher yes sir I agree it’s going to take getting our hands dirty and getting in the places in our country where most people wouldn’t go and sharing the gospel with people that most have given up on revival is going to come when we begin to reach out to the women at the well when we get over ourselves and get in the gutter quit worrying about if they can support our churches and reach the lost revival is going to come through the woman at the well and not Nicodemus
Joseph D. Absher
Larry Dale Steele it’s going to take everybody doing there part. We can all mention the Saviour to someone near and dear or far and wide. Pastor friend of mine asked “why doesn’t the church witness?” It’s because the kit is gone. If the church had the assurance of salvation and victory over sin they’d have a witness..
Larry Dale Steele
Your right it’s going to take everyone in unity not flying a church banner or organization banner but coming together as one a lifting up Jesus
Larry Dale Steele
We have a series of tent revivals that we are kicking off in May and we have many coming together as one we also have some missions planned where we are just going to hit the streets
Joseph D. Absher
Mr Troy Day will be glad to hear that. I’m happy for you too. Have fun stay safe and give God the glory in everything! Do you know Evangelist and campus preacher Micah Armstrong. He would be a good edition to this conversation.
Joseph D. Absher
Sorry but I gotta hit the rack. Big day tomorrow. It’s the first day of the rest of my life. lol
Joseph D. Absher
The Assmblies of God and Nicky Cruz, and Patrick Dow with the T.R.U.C.E. teams have been hitting the streets of our cities for a long time. There are many that could contribute to this conversation. Evangelist Dwayne Norman of this group also comes to mind.
Larry Dale Steele
Which city are you in
Varnel Watson
Larry Dale Steele Give us the schedule for your tent revivals
Joseph D. Absher
You have an important point and I think I understand what you’re saying. But as a word of sobriety, stay away from the women. Unless you’re with another Christian. And God ain’t done with old Nicodemus just yet… Lol.
Larry Dale Steele
Joseph D. Absher lol no he isn’t but yes just a figure of speech I never even pray for another woman with out my wife unless I’m at a place where there is other women and men there
Joseph D. Absher
It’s worth mentioning.
Larry Dale Steele
Yes sir satan is sneaky he is always trying to set us up I’ve seen a lot of guys go down that way
Joseph D. Absher
Last week a girl on drugs grabbed my crotch. She couldn’t seduce me, I think it made her angry. This was a conversation for Christ in broad daylight on the open street.
Larry Dale Steele
The street ministry we do, my wife is with me and she is usually the one talking to and praying for the women we have saw some great things many people saved we serve an awesome God it just blows me away at the things he is doing
Randal W Deese
The first time I was involved with Street Preaching was Good Friday, 1975, downtown San Francisco. Very powerful!
Varnel Watson
Obviously not very successfully as San Fran turned
Melvin Shomo
Some of these street preachers do not meet the example of the early Apostles.
The Apostles didn’t scream to the people that they were going to hell.
They literally demonstrated the love of Christ to the people, and of course the fulfilled Mark 16:15-18
Varnel Watson
John 7:28 Then Jesus spoke with a loud voice as He taught in the house of God
Varnel Watson
You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? – Paul is indeed loving on them here 🙂 demonstrating Christ
Melvin Shomo
What ever you say Troy.
I haven’t viewed what these men were saying or doing but I can honestly say that I haven’t approved of others.
Maybe you should view Art Montgomery, Jason Chin, Pete Cabrera Jr ‘s videos and see the difference
Varnel Watson
There is this older guy preaching campuses with biker vest. What’s his name again? Melvin Shomo Are these 3 loving or yelling preachers?
Melvin Shomo
Troy you obviously enjoy arguing.
It appears that you defend all street preachers no matter what signs they may carry, and no matter what words they may use
Varnel Watson
Nope It does not appear that Just citing the Bible It’s our standard for life, you know…
Melvin Shomo
I am right 100%
Whether you agree or not.
Varnel Watson
Of course you are 🙂
Dan Irving
I believe Jason Chin is part of the Bethel movement. If that is the affiliation/philosophy of these ministers, they have more fundamental problems.
Melvin Shomo
So tell me Dan is everything that these street preachers say and do This saith the Lord?
Did everything that Peter say and do thus Saith the Lord?
Melvin Shomo
Did the Lord tell you to follow his diciples or did he say to follow him?
Dan Irving
I’m not understanding your question. I agree that many (even most) street preaching is performed by misguided zealots. (But not all.) But your criticism is not well-founded, because (if I understand you correctly) you reject the idea of denouncing sin in the world. That would be counter to the Spirit of Christ.
Melvin Shomo
Jason Chin is his own man, but what he does by going out praying for the people is God ordained.
Does everything Jason say Thus Saith the Lord?
Of course not.
No where in the word of God will you find where Satan has the power to heal anyone, or his kingdom would be divided against itself.
Satan only preforms lying signs and wonders, which means non of it is real.
The ones standing before our Lord will be telling him the truth, that they had cast out devils in his name, and had done many wonderful works.
The love of money could play a major rule in their demise.
We have John MacArthur constantly speaking out against the Spirit of God doing many wonderful works in his name.
He too will most likely find himself standing without.
Dan Irving
I can agree with much of what you said, but to say “Jason Chin is his own man,” is a bit of a dodge. None of us are truly, “Our own man.” There is a context within which we came to Christ and theological principles within which we were raised and which guide or thinking and our ministries. I have suggested that Mr. Chin is part of the Third-Wave/Signs & Wonders movement. If so, that is a problem.
Vlad Stepanov
Were they holding up signs and yelling at people?
Varnel Watson
John 7:28 Then Jesus spoke with a loud voice as He taught in the house of God
Joseph D. Absher
Psalm 68:35 KJV — O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.
Varnel Watson
Larry Dale Steele Give us the schedule for your tent revivals
Larry Dale Steele
The first one is May 18-27 at kensett Arkansas we are going to have a women’s Faith based recovery one of those night and a men’s one of those nights and also a youth night I have more details I can post later I’m about to head to work
Melvin Shomo
You heard what I said don’t add to it.
And as we can see from this particular street preachers here signs and wonders truly flower them.
But of course when one doesn’t believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit than they need literal signs to follow them
Varnel Watson
Westboro Baptist ?
Melvin Shomo
Troy Day the fella on the left side, his name is Ruben.
He is on my friends list here on Facebook.
You should really check his videos out that he posts of street ministries..
He has a video with a woman preaching holding a condom, preaching to, I believe college students.
Telling them about their immorality.
She definitely has a sign and a wonder in her hands.
Maybe this is how a lot of these street preachers view signs and wonders, by literally carrying signs degrading their audiences
Varnel Watson
I see This was not understood that’s why I asked
Varnel Watson
Larry Dale Steele do give us the complete date order when you have it later today pls
Melvin Shomo
Troy Day Which of the two do you think has the more positive message to win the lost
Varnel Watson
Melvin Shomo Do you think one should be arrested for the basic right of Freedom of speech in America? The content is of no issue to the constitution – the real issue is freedom of speech
Melvin Shomo
They start out creating an atmosphere of resentment from the people whom they claim that they are trying to reach.
The Apostle Paul had said, to win the Greek for Christ
I became a Greek.
In other words I had viewed them through the eyes of Christ as a lost soul that needed brought into the fold.
To reach a homosexual you don’t condemn them before you start off giving them the word.
Some of these street preachers are worse then an infidel.
So they are no better than the ones that they claim to reach out to.
I am for freedom of speech.
I am just not for a sinful preacher proclaiming the Word of God
Joseph D. Absher
There was a debate on this last year. “The great words and railing” debate. It was two hours. It was interesting to say the least.
Varnel Watson
Basic constitutional right: FREEDOM of SPEECH
You dont have to like it BUT you sholdnt oppress it
Joseph D. Absher
The founding fathers understood the necessity and liberty of the free concourse of ideas.
Varnel Watson
especially in the context of faith and religion
Melvin Shomo
To become a Greek you have to understand the Greek’s way of thinking.
Let’s say a homosexual was raised this way from child up and is in their teens yet.
They never heard the Gospel preached because of the way they were raised.
Then comes along a preacher carrying a sign condemning this young man yelling at him through a microphone.
What impression is this preacher giving this young man that has never heard?
All this young man sees is an unloving man with a bad attitude holding a microphone in his hand..
The pracher has done grieved the Holy Ghost before he even got there, because of his attitude..
In the Gospel of John the beloved John had written, For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
The condemning is going to strat at the day of judgement.
When I came to Christ, it was outside the fourwalls of a church.
I THANK GOD for that.
I did not know what all was considered sin. I had to learn by following my Lord.
Oh I tried to go to Church.
The first Church that I had tried was a Baptist.
I had no idea what exactly each denomination believed back then, because I wasn’t raised in a church.
I called the Pastor up and liked what he had said concerning my questioning him.
So I went.
They directed me to the youth group Sunday school class.
The Bible teacher was treating the Bible like a Storybook, but you see the Bible meant life to me.
I took over where he was reading from, but this time, I had added life to the Word of God. Two to three people started to tear up and quiver, but when the Storybook Bible teacher saw that it wasn’t in his hands any more. He had turned the tears into jeers with me walking out of that church never to darken another church until three to four years later.
The reason being, I had felt that I was the only Christian back then.
And as we can see many Baptists teach a Jesus that has no life, and is pass tense.
No power through the Holy Ghost.
In those three to four years I had worn out 2 Bibles reading it like a Novel. What helped wear them out was sleeping with the Bible.
Larry Dale Steele
Truth..
Larry Dale Steele
This is how you approach people on the streets not with some crazy signs
