We are called to love and proclaim the truth of God's word, the Holy Spirit will do the rest.

Aren't you glad, that you do not have to do the work of the Holy Spirit, well, you couldn't anyway, That's God's job.

John 6:65-66
And therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by the Father.
From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.

They were still disciples, they just didn't want to hear anymore truth, they couldn't walk out what they had already heard. So they left Him.
Had they stayed, they would have heard Him say, "My time is not yet, but your time is always ready. (John 7:6)

John 6:44
No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day.

We are called to love the unlovable, those that irritate us and cause us to react in our fleshly old nature, Wow! what a test to see if Jesus' nature is expressed in us. Have we grown in the Lord?

God allows those people in our life, to reveal to us just how much we have grown, or need to grow in the love of Christ Jesus our Lord. 
We all experience this in our walk. 

Do we rest in the fact of  knowing it is the Lord's work to draw them?
We are to show God's nature which is love and rejoice that God is drawing them to Himself or they wouldn't be in our life.

Are people being stubborn and not listening to the good news that Jesus came to save them? 
If so, Pray to the Father in Jesus name and ask Him to draw them to Himself.

Prayer changes things, God changes people.

Prayer will do more than all your words of your trying to convince them, prayer will open their hearts to receive.

Remember what it was like before you came to Christ.
There was confusion and a desire to live for yourself, to enjoy your sin. 
Sin can be fun for a season, but later it will lead you to death.
Death of relationships, of our health, and peace of mind.

We all need Jesus and the Salvation and the peace He offers, the deliverance He offers us in place of the misery that sin has brought into our life.

Beloved, show God's love wherever and whenever you can.
That's your job as a Christian, and pray always for a opportunity to reveal Jesus to a lost soul.

I ran into a Pastor that I know in my grocery store, and he was really down, I shared with him as a reminder, how much Jesus loves him.
His continence changed from sad to hopeful. He even said "I need that reminder in my life.

Look around you, there is always someone who needs encouragement. We all do from time to time. And other times we will encourage ourselves in the Lord as David did in the bible.

We are to encourage one another with the words of life.

We all have those days when we will need a fellow believer to speak life and hope into our life, because we are on this journey together.

We are one body and all parts are needed in order to have a healthy body, full of the life of Jesus.

God Bless your day
Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
