When can we book you to preach a revival at our Church?
That's some good stuff right there!
I appreciate that, Charlie24.
God bless.
Isn't it good to hear..... when Jesus gets all the credit for what He had done for us on the Cross?
The Holy Spirit in us, causes us to "quicken" when Jesus is lifted up...= When Christ on The Cross is given praise.
The Holy Spirit is here for the cause of Christ...... He lifts up Jesus.
Ive noticed that when you lift up Jesus on the Cross, when you PREACH the Cross, (Paul's Gospel) and keep this always as the center core of your teaching and preaching and ministry...= God moves others when they hear it, no matter if they are lost, backslidden, have dead faith, are born again yet deceived, or if they are just resting in God's Grace, full of the Spirit.
When you make the message of the Cross a Bright LIGHT, it will cause everyone to stand up and be counted, no matter the person.
And Reader.... that Bible. Its not just a book. It is a Light for Life. It is the sword of the Spirit. It will make changes and cause devil's to howl.
Do you recall when Satan came to Jesus and tried to manipulate the Lord?
They Lord spoke the word of God to that devil.
Everyone who ever finds this post, has a Gift from God and maybe more then one.. But, its in the egg. Its in the cocoon.
God will make your gift shine, if you will give it to Him.
So, if you are going to become more than the egg or the cocoon, you have to make yourself available.
The 2 best qualities you can produce for God are not Tongues and Church Going.
Not at all.
The 2 best are : availability and dependability.
Are you that reader?
Listen,
God does not lead parked cars. He leads only those in motion.
A very wise women was talking to me once and said....>"in this world you have the Doer's and you have the Watchers".
So, when you want God to do more with you, then you have to be the Doer.....You have to find a place to grow in the Lord and produce... and if you will put yourself there in real life.....any small step......God will show you the next step.
Reader, have you ever taught a Sunday School Class?
Scared?
Do it scared, as that is "ministry". That is on the job training.
""""But what if i fail? """"
The only failing is not trying.
You wont fail, you will only learn what you need to know that you can't learn unless you try it once or twice.
See, experience is the college of Life, and being willing is why God will use you.
What to teach? Well, first make sure you understand "The Gift of Salvation", and "The Gift of Righteousness", having LEARNED : Romans 3:21-26
If so...
Here are some SS topics for you to teach.
1.) Teach the beauty of Holiness.
2.) Teach How God's Salvation who is Christ on the Cross, that is 2000 years ago completed, is still saving and forgiving, 2000 yrs later. As that is pretty fascinating.
3.) Find the Hymn....."Nothing but the Blood" and let that become your faith, and teach that...
4.) Teach why "dead faith" is not Dead Salvation.
5.) Teach what it means to become "one with God".
6.) Teach why Peter said that Paul's letters that he had in his hand were equal to the TORAH.... That Paul's letters were SCRIPTURE long long before they were found in a New Testament.
7.) Teach how God will never let you go, and why His great love is never based on you and your self effort.
8.) Teach that God first loved you, before you even thought about Him at all.
9.) Teach why God's Gift of Salvation is Jesus on the Cross and not your
Performance.
Most of all, show them Jesus on the Cross a lot. A whole lot , if you teach a lot of SundaySchool, or if you preach from a Pulpit.
10.) Pick any subject you like when you preach/teach a message, but alway bring the sermon or teaching right back to Christ on the Cross before you finish ... always.
Paul said of Himself that he was sort of a disappointment to see in person, nothing special.... but notice that he wrote most of the New Testament Epistles and Church Doctrine....
Paul literally saw more of the Spiritual and did mort actual ministry, then anyone.
He said..>"God im yours". "Send me"... and God certainly did. Paul even saw Heaven once.....
Saint....Have you ever given yourself to God?
What are you waiting for?
? ??
?
Some of you should go on a Missionary Trip.
All of you need to take your talent and give it to God, right now.
And, All of you need to live in this verse. Hebrews 13:9 And do what it says to do with your Heart......always.
