CAN I GET A WITNESS!!

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach the Gospel of good tidings to the meek, the poor, and the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up and heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the [physical and spiritual] captives and the opening of the prison and of the eyes to those who are bound. Isaiah 61:1 AMP

The other morning I was sitting in my living room listening to my praise and worship music. All of a sudden I just started crying! The Lord was showing me all the lost souls out there. It was as if my heart was broken for them.

My Pastor is teaching a series right now on, “Taking Ownership of the Gospel.” I am telling you, it has really put a fire under me. I am going to share a couple of things that has helped me out. I wish I could share ALL he has talked about, but my blog would be to FULL....:) I highly recommend you get on youtube or download the podcasts to this series. It will help you understand the proper way to sharing the Gospel.

 Everyone, young and old, has a purpose. Your purpose is to go out and do what Jesus did. What did Jesus do?? The bible says He went about preaching, teaching, and healing all kinds of sickness and diseases. This is our purpose, to go out and do these things!!!!

Okay, so I LOVE music as you can tell from past blogs. Here is another favorite of mine…

 “Where You Go I Go”…by Kim Walker!

 Where you go I go
What you say I say
What you pray I pray

Jesus only did, What he saw you do
He would only say, What he heard you speak
He would only move, When he felt you lead
Following your heart, Following your spirit

How could I expect to walk without you
When every move that Jesus made was in surrender
I would not begin to live without you
For you alone are worthy you are always good

I mean, if you listen to that song and don’t get PUMPED up, you crae, crae!!!

John 14:12 says, “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.”

WAIT a minute, hold the phone!!! Did you read that??  We will do even GREATER works then Jesus did? That is some, GET EXCITED, JUMP UP AND DOWN, cool stuff right there. WOW!!!

We need to do what Jesus did.  We need to go out there and preach, teach and heal the sick. This should be the norm for us. Every day, walking in the supernatural, and telling people about Jesus.  Now some of you may be intimidated about telling people about Jesus and winning souls. ere Heh

Here is something my pastor pointed out that really helped me out….

 2 Timothy 1:6 says ,”For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and of a sound mind.”

This scripture is talking about the fear, the timidity of sharing the Gospel. Not having the boldness to go out and reach the lost. Not feeling qualified enough, or thinking you might say the wrong things. Sometimes I feel like this. I don’t have a problem with caring what people think of me, as much as caring if I might say or do the wrong things. I see so many “christians” out there that have really made the believers of today look BAD! They don’t know that proper way to share and help people to know Chirst. I was worried that I might say something not biblically correct and REALLY mess them up..:)

God did not give us a spirit of timidity. This has really set me free.

God sent us a Helper and that is the Holy Spirit.

Don’t be fearful of telling your family, your peers about Jesus. Guess what?? We don’t have the ability to do it ourselves, that is where the Holy Spirit comes in to help us. We rely on what the Holy Spirit tells us  to say and not on our words. That right there is so amazing. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you and you will see some amazing things happen.

School is almost out for the summer. I encourage you to use the rest of your time and start telling your peeps @ school about Jesus. Go up to those kids who are lost and have no friends. The kids that everyone picks on because they don’t wear the “right” clothes, or they aren’t in the “cool” crowd! Good grief, kids can me so mean sometimes. Even going up and saying a kind word can lift their spirits up. Do you know that I told more people about Jesus in High School then I have in my adulthood. Maybe because I am a stay at home mom and don’t get out much, but that is still NO excuse. The Lord has really been dealing with me on this. As I preach to you, I’m preaching to myself..:) I have a lot of friends from High School on my facebook, and although I block what they post because I don’t want their language and pictures in my mind, I ask the Lord to give me scriptures and I pray that they will read it and get something from it. Facebook is a fun way to play games and talk to your friends, but let it be a tool you can use to reach out to others.

I pray that the Lord will give you a heart for the lost. That He will light a fire under you, so that you can go out and fulfill your purpose. Your generation is crying out for help. Your generation needs Jesus. Get excited, this is the coolest thing you will EVER do. Start now, so when you are my age you will be a SOUL WINNING EXPERT..:)

Be BLESSED
