Word For 6/25/2022

 

“That you might walk worthy of The LORD unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in knowledge of GOD.” Colossians 1:10

“Am I prepared to let GOD grip me by His Power and do a work in me that is worthy of Himself?”

Oswald Chambers

 

A confession: I have always hated personal evangelism, the kind where you knock on strangers doors or stand around a busy part of town and try to tell people about JESUS and their need for salvation. I have done both but I always hated it. I also hated having to talk to my neighbors and co-workers about JESUS (I did not mind telling them I was a Christian, I just did not what to tell them they were sinners). That is part of my lawlessness because the only thing that every Christian is supposed to do is tell people about JESUS and their need of salvation, it’s called The Great Commission and was given to all believers by JESUS Himself.

 

There is so much being taught in the Church and the world today; the End Times and the rapture; the Good Life and giving to your favorite ministry, supporting (put a name in here) Ministry and all kinds of things that are not related to being saved and nothing to do with proclaiming JESUS’ soon coming and GOD’s judgment.

 

We are all called to not have a comfort zone but a witness zone, where we are is our witness zone, I’m not talking about Bible thumping people with their sins, but showing them that GOD Loves them and has a sin free life for them. This requires us to listen to The HOLY SPIRIT and look for those who He directs us to, even if they are out of our comfort zone.

 

Father, thank You for your forgiveness and restoration; thank You for the opportunity to share Your Love and Salvation with those who need it.
