GO! GO! GO! (See Luke 10) That is the message the Lord has been calling on believers. I am truly thankful for the group of men and women that are hungry to share the Good News. We are at a critical point in which we have been called as believers to “Pave the Way” for the coming of the Lord. Are you ready for this? Some people, even many believers doubt that this will happen in their lifetime or for many generations to come (I used to think the same way). Although no one but the Father knows the exact time and date, scripture teaches us “in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 2 Peter 3:4
The days are growing shorter and we need to UNITE and share the gospel. People on the streets of Winnipeg are hungry to hear the message. We have witnessed many people accept Christ as their Saviour and this is truly exciting. Sure some people are offended but many more are truly grateful that someone is willing to spend time with them and show them they are loved. I used to sit on the sidelines but I am unable to do this any longer. Perhaps you are tired of watching “reality TV” or being a spectator at “sporting events.” The Lord wants you to get off the couch and start participating. It is for the courageous and those that truly want to live life to the fullest. Is has been said that “The glory of God is man fully alive,”. Perhaps you have been dying a slow death. Waiting for the next job, the next house, the next vacation to bring you joy. In the end these things will only provide short term happiness. If you are reading this you know that I am speaking the truth. I have seen how the pursuit of money can lead to pride, jealousy, envy and sin. Quit striving for these things and focus on what truly matters, your relationship with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Once you know him, nothing else will compare.
Do you know what I believe is one of the main reasons the Gospel is not being shared? It is the fact that people are consumed with what others will think. I say “Who cares!!” It only matters what the Lord thinks of you. For the Lord says Luke 9:26 “If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. “ Wow! Quit worrying about what others think and seek the Lord.
I believe that if you try witnessing on one occasion, your HEART will change and you will have a revelation as to your purpose in life.
Peace to all of you who are in Christ,
