Faith Life of a Former Scammer

012. Is this a worship service?

“Junior, aren’t you nervous?”

Charles looked at Leon with a curious face.

“what?”

“This is your first sermon, are you okay?”

First sermon to the people.

It was a kind of debut match for prospective service priests.

“I guess senior Charles was a father at first?”

“that… … you’re right. I had no idea what to say.”

“really?”

“Yes. Spreading the faith was not as easy as I thought.”

If you think hard, that’s what happens.

“Aren’t you just trying to talk grandiose or sacred?”

“you’re right. Isn’t that what a priest’s sermon is like? You will be surprised to see the high priest preaching.”

“That’s why I was overbearing.”

“Yes?”

The noble act of spreading the faith.

It’s hard to think of it this way.

“You shouldn’t have thought of spreading faith, you should have thought of selling a product called faith.”

“Sell your faith? Isn’t that too disrespectful?”

what is disrespect

This is why there is no development.

“Don’t get carried away with words, try to approach it that way.”

“Not by airwaves, but by sales?”

“Of course. No matter how we approach it, the goal of priests is to spread the faith far and wide.”

“That is correct.”

In the eyes of Leon, there was not much difference between a priest and a merchant.

In the end, it was only the difference between believing and selling products.

“Isn’t faith growing only when people who take the time to come to worship are satisfied?”

“That’s right.”

“Then you have to satisfy people. But aren’t we like the high priest? It is only possible with long-term training and high faith.”

“you’re right. Absolutely not.”

If so, the answer is all out.

“So we should try something completely different.”

“Hmm. I do not know.”

Charles pondered, lost in thought.

At that moment, a question popped into Leon’s mind.

“But why are you here?”

“… … Yes?”

“Why are you fooling around here when all the other kids are out helping at worship services?”

“That, the senior gave guidance so that the junior did not panic during his first sermon… … .”

“Who is leading whom?”

In the end, it was said that he had come to smoke.

“If you want to know how I am going to preach, don’t stay here and go to the service. Go and listen with the residents.”

“Yep!”

Charles went out to the chapel in a hurry.

Through the crack in the door as Charles exited, he could see the chapel full of people.

‘Ah, a lot came.’

It seemed like he should have been nervous, but a smile appeared on Leon’s face.

‘I’ll make you a body that can’t live without the Church of Dawn!’

Rather, Leone was on fire.

* * *

“It’s time for Priest Leon’s sermon. This is my first sermon, so I ask for your understanding even if it is not enough.”

Finally, Leon was called.

Leon adjusted his clothes one last time, opened the door, and left.

Numerous eyes were fixed on Leon.

There was no need to panic or be nervous.

“Hello, this is Leon, who is in charge of today’s sermon. Nice to meet you.”

To Leon’s greetings.

clap clap clap.

Residents responded with applause.

The first debut match is just starting.

“Good sermons must have been given by other priests, so I am going to try something a little different.”

I’m not going to talk about boring and serious things.

“You took so much time to attend the service, but there is something I want you to bring before the service ends.”

“Do you have any presents?”

“Eki, this man. What gifts are you talking about when you come to the worship service?”

While people were whispering, they began to pay attention to Leon’s words.

‘Profit makes people focus.’

Whatever it is, if you think there is a benefit, people will focus.

It was as Lyon thought.

“What I am going to give you is not that great.”

I started selling drugs slowly.

“I’m trying to give you the strength to spend the week so that you can come to listen to the service next week as well.”

Questions appeared on people’s faces.

“You might be wondering what I mean, but I’ll just show you right away.”

Leon emitted divine power from his body.

‘It’s important to spread it widely.’

It was important for everyone who came to the chapel to touch the divine power.

As the divine power spread in the chapel, people began to hear voices.

“Huh! Divine power?”

“The little priest is amazing.”

“Little priest. It’s Priest Leon. You are a great person.”

“ah! The priest at the treatment center you mentioned then?”

The reaction wasn’t bad.

In the first place, there was a formula called ‘divine power = sacredness’.

I liked it if everyone liked it, there was no way I hated it.

‘I’m ready.’

It aroused people’s interest and made contact with divine power.

Everything is ready.

“You worked hard for a week.”

[The priest’s persuasion is activated.]

Selling real drugs starts now.

“Hard work, stress with people, dedication to family. There must have been many other things that made it difficult for you.”

Holy power radiating around.

Calm and soft-spoken.

People fell in love with Leon’s story.

“Even though you are having such a hard day, you all came to visit this chapel.”

[Connected to the target of persuasion.]

Due to the spreading holy power and the persuasion of the priest, the residents and Leon were connected.

“Welcome. Good search. The God of Dawn does not ignore your difficulties.”

Now it is time to assimilate beyond connection.

[Skill: Consolation is activated.]

[Consolation is maximized through connection.]

[Consolation goes beyond the stage of sympathy and sympathy and changes to a fairy tale.]

[I assimilated into the pain of the other person.]

All kinds of emotions came pouring in like a waterfall. They were small and insignificant emotions, but there were too many of them.

But this is also an element to be used.

“I can feel your pain and your hard feelings. That feeling of sagging, wanting to quit and run away.”

I felt desperate emotions in Leon’s words.

“Shindo-nim, are you having a hard time?”

I pointed at the man in front of the podium.

“You mean that?”

“Yes. Have you had a hard week?”

“Yes, it was hard. I am exhausted.”

Of course it’s hard.

It’s hard to live in the first place.

I had to get rid of it now.

“Pour out that hardship. The God of Dawn accepts all your pain and suffering.”

“Will God really accept it?”

“sure. The God of Dawn loves and cares for all. We cannot ignore you who came to worship with a tired body.”

Leon asked him again.

“Shindo-nim, are you tired?”

“Yes, it is difficult. I am exhausted.”

“Pour it out. Have faith that God will accept it, and pour it out even louder!”

“It’s hard! Oh God! I’m exhausted!”

At that moment, Leon quickly activated autosuggestion.

[Skill: Self-Suggestion is activated.]

This required delicate work.

‘Cool. After pouring it out, I feel relieved.’

There was no need to get rid of other emotions. It only amplified the lightness and coolness a little.

[The self-suggestion has been successful.]

It was only one person who spoke, but everyone was affected by it.

“Pour out the others too! God will accept all your hardships!”

People shouted as if possessed.

“It’s hard!”

“I’m tired! Oh God!”

“Why is life so hard!”

Rion gradually changed her assimilated feelings.

Reduce negative emotions that are difficult, exhausting, and lethargic.

Positive emotions such as coolness and lightheartedness increased.

Residents began to receive the impact in real time.

change has begun

“God loves you. believe it! If you believe, you will receive even greater love!”

Starting from Leon’s words, the villagers started shouting other words.

“Oh God! thank you!”

“Oh God! I believe!”

“I believe!”

Pouring out emotions turned into praising God.

[Skill: Training is activated.]

Now it’s Leon’s time.

“God loves you! Do you believe?”

“I believe!”

“God will repay that faith. He will give you strength!”

“I believe!”

“Strength to live today!”

“I believe!”

“Strength to endure tomorrow too!”

“I believe!”

I had to give it a shot here.

‘A rush of emotions. Tears bursting out of happiness.’

I assimilated the last emotion through self-suggestion.

Within.

“Oh God!”

“I’m happy! I believe!”

“It gives me strength! Oh God!”

People praised God with tears in their eyes.

The heat in the chapel was scorching hot.

The first debut match was a success.

* * *

after the service was over.

Normally, the service would have ended like this, but a new time has been added starting this week.

“Just don’t go! There are still events left!”

As Leon was about to usher in the next event, people began to gather around him.

“Oh, Priest Leon. My stomach was pierced.”

“Thank you, priest. I will definitely come out next week.”

“Now I understand that God loves us, Priest Leon.”

“Today’s sermon was very touching.”

“It was so good. I’m glad you can shed tears. It was the first time I knew.”

The thank-yous didn’t stop.

After saying thank you for such a long time, Leon was barely able to start guiding.

“Starting this week, after the worship service, the church will serve a meal. Please eat and go. A delicious meal is ready.”

“A meal? Are you saying that the church will take care of lunch?”

“There is another present.”

Listening to a good sermon and having a delicious meal ready for lunch.

“Of course. He came to the church for the sake of faith. Please eat and go!”

Ingredients were sufficient thanks to the practice of treatment.

It was good to sell and get gold profit, but this is a church, not the top.

“Oh, thank you.”

“haha. It is also the Church of Dawn.”

“It’s the Church of Dawn, which provided almost free treatment! Of course it’s different!”

If you can afford it, it makes sense to invest in your reputation and the trust of the people.

As expected, the reaction of the residents was favorable.

‘I’ve done this, but you’re tired of not coming next week?’

It is natural for them to come, and even the residents who have heard the rumors will flock to them.

“Everyone, please guide the residents.”

“Okay, Leon.”

“Yes, junior.”

“Okay, I get it.”

Residents asked their children to guide them. Although it was beneficial to gain the favor of the residents while guiding.

‘If you suffered, you should be compensated.’

Now is the time to pay for your hard work.

Priest Ruth was approaching Leon with a daunting expression.

* * *

Everyone leaves and the chapel is empty.

Only Priest Ruth and Leon remained.

“Nice job, Leon. I never imagined it would do so well.”

“no. I just conveyed the love of God to the residents.”

“not. What you have done is no small thing.”

Priest Ruth’s expression was serious.

“Only today was I convinced.”

“Yes?”

Leon asked with an innocent expression.

“It’s my job to support you and help you fly. God sent you to me.”

He was confident.

“Listen to everything you want to do. Even if it is absurd, I will support you.”

He believed in Leon as much as he believed in God. To him, Leon was the will of God.

“If there is anything you want, just tell me. listen to anything.”

He said he would listen first, but there was no need to decline.

Leon quickly set his target.

“You may not be able to hear this.”

“no. listen to anything.”

In that case, I just throw it out.

“What I want is… … .”

Full bet Gazza!
