WE ARE SAVED AND LIVING BY GOD'S GRACE FOR A REASON.

Beloved, we were not saved to sit in a pew, hear a quick message and a few songs, and shake hands and leave like we came.  

There should be a change. Something that we needed to hear from God's word. For it is Spirit and life.

Acts 1:6-8

Therefore when they had all come together, they asked Him, saying "Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to them, 

"It is not for you to know times and seasons which your Father has put in His own authority.

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

It is obvious that we were saved for a purpose.

We are to be witnesses for Jesus.

There is an old song we use to sing. 

"You won't leave here as you came, bound oppressed, tormented sick or lame. For the Holy Spirit is still the same, you won't leave here like you came in Jesus name.

 Have you ever thought that when we gather together with other believers, that we are to minister to one another?

We are not suppose to leave church just as we came in, there should always be something fresh and new that we will learn about Jesus and the kingdom we now live in.

We should be led by the Holy Spirit in how we minister to one another.

None of us have all the answers, but together when just the right word is spoken, it can bring light into someone else's darkness.  

1Corinthians 14:26

How is it then, brethren?  Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation.  Let all things be done for edification.

See, Beloved, there are not super Christian's, we all can minister as the Spirit leads.

Those that promote themselves to look extra special, are no different than any of us.

Galatians 2:6 (Read the whole context)

But from those who seemed to be something--whatever they were, it makes no difference to me.

God shows personal favoritism to no man- for those who seemed to be something added nothing to me.

Paul was speaking about false brethren, spying out the liberty that Paul and the others have in Christ Jesus.

God makes it clear, that He favors no man.

We are a body and we function together.

We were all saved to share God's love and redemption.  

The Gospel is the good news that there is forgiveness in Jesus.

Beloved, we can not convince anyone to be saved, but what we can do, is share the truth of God's word, and it stands on it's own.

Like the old saying goes,

"You can lead a horse to water, but can not make him drink. 

Wrong, if you salt his oats it will make him thirsty.

Jesus said, we are the salt of the earth. Time to salt someone's oats, with the word of God.

Salt is a preservative, we are to be that to a sick dying world.

So we were not saved to just look good in church and be a pew warmer, we are saved to share the gospel.  

That is letting the unsaved outsider know that there is hope and change for them.

So, how hard can it be, to tell someone that Jesus has a new life for them and that He loves them? 

When we follow the promptings of the Holy Spirit, it is not hard at all.

Jesus is coming soon, share the good news of salvation. Let God use you to make a difference in someone's life.

God bless you day

Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus

Wow, such a great point you made, “Like the old saying goes,"You can lead a horse to water, but can not make him drink.”…“Wrong, if you salt his oats it will make him thirsty.”

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, ...
