WE ARE TO REACH THE RELIGIOUS CROWD FIRST.

REACH THE RELIGIOUS CROWD FIRST, THOSE THAT SAY THEY KNOW GOD. LIKE THE JEWS DID IN JESUS DAY.

MATTHEW 10:6-8
"BUT GO RATHER TO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.
AND AS YOU GO PREACH, SAYING THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND.
HEAL THE SICK, CLEANSE THE LEPERS, RAISE THE DEAD, CAST OUT DEMONS.
FREELY YOU HAVE RECEIVED, FREELY GIVE.

ACTS 1:8
BUT YOU SHALL RECEIVE POWER WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME UPON YOU;  AND YOU SHALL BE WITNESSES TO ME IN JERUSALEM, AND IN ALL JUDEA AND SAMARIA, AND TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.

THERE ARE WONDERFUL RELIGIOUS PEOPLE, FAITHFUL CHURCH ATTENDERS, BUT THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN BORN AGAIN.

THERE IS A REASON JESUS SAID GO TO JERUSALEM FIRST,  JUDEA, AND SAMARIA.

I HAVE WORKED AS AN ALTAR WORKER AT MANY DIFFERENT CHURCHES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND PEOPLE THAT COME UP FOR PRAYER HAVE A REQUEST.
I ALWAYS ASKED THEM HAVE THEY RECEIVED JESUS AS SAVIOR AND THEIR REMARK IS, "I HAVE ALWAYS GONE TO CHURCH. I GO TO THE BIBLE STUDIES AND GIVE MY TITHE.

I WILL ASK AGAIN, WHEN WERE YOU BORN AGAIN AND PRAYED TO RECEIVE JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR?  THEN I INVITE THEM TO RECEIVE JESUS IF THEY HAVE NEVER DONE SO.

THOUGH SOME HAD BEEN IN CHURCH FOR YEARS, THEY BELIEVED ALL THEIR SERVICE AT CHURCH SHOWED THEY WERE A CHRISTIAN.  NOT SO!

WORKS FOLLOW AFTER SALVATION, IT IS THE FRUIT OF OUR NEW LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS,
AN OVERFLOW OF HIS LIFE IN US, POURING OUT HIS LOVE IN OUR SERVICE.

THE LORD SHOWED ME, NEVER ASSUME SOMEONE WHO COMES UP FOR PRAYER ARE SAVED.  ASK!

FUNNY AFTER SOME BECAME BORN AGAIN, THEY RARELY HAD THE NEED TO COME TO THE ALTAR FOR PRAYER BY SOMEONE ELSE.  

THEY WOULD COME JUST TO TALK TO THE LORD.
THEY HAVE A RELATIONSHIP NOW.  
THEY KNOW JESUS, NOT JUST ABOUT HIM.  ITS PERSONAL NOW.

BELOVED, THEY ARE ALL AROUND US. SOME HAD ATTENDED CHURCH SINCE THEY WERE A KID, SO THEY BELIEVED THEY WERE OK.

I AM GLAD GOD MOVED ME AROUND, ABOUT 30 TIMES, BECAUSE I COULD ALWAYS SAY,  WELL I AM NEW HERE, SO TELL ME WHEN DID YOU RECEIVED JESUS?

I DIDN'T LIKE ALL THOSE MOVES ACROSS THE COUNTRY, BUT LOOKING BACK I SEE WHY IT WAS MEANT TO BE.

LOOK AROUND YOU, ARE THOSE THAT CLAIM TO KNOW JESUS, IS THERE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IN THEIR LIFE OR ARE THEY ALWAYS STRUGGLING?

WE ALL STRUGGLE FROM TIME TO TIME, BUT WE PASS THROUGH THOSE TIMES, WE DON'T STAY THERE.
PSALM 23:4
YEA, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL; FOR YOU ARE WITH ME; YOUR ROD AND STAFF, THEY COMFORT ME.

WE HAVE THE PEACE OF CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD. WE WANT TO SHARE HOW OTHERS MAY EXPERIENCE THAT SAME PEACE, AND KNOW GOD LOVES THEM.

BELOVED, ASK QUESTIONS AND PRAY THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL LEAD YOU TO ONE RELIGIOUS SOUL WHO NEEDS A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH 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?

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

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