Don't Be Indifferent

We Christians are debtors to all men at all times in all places, but we are so smug to the lostness of men. We've been "living in Laodicea ", lax, loose, lustful, and lazy. Why is there this criminal indifference to the lostness of men? Our condemnation is that we know how to live better than we are living. --Leonard Ravenhill

No Gliding Please

"Let us not glide through this world and then slip quietly into heaven, without having blown the trumpet loud and long for our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Let us see to it that the devil will hold a thanksgiving service in hell, when he gets the news of our departure from the field of battle."

God HAS Given--So What Have You Given In Return?

2 Peter 1:2-4 (King James Version)

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust


What have you given back to God? What will you give God next year? I'm not talking about works to earn Salvation(it cannot be earned, it's only through repentance and God's grace)I'm talking about works that are a result of your Salvation! One area that we are commanded to work unto the LORD in is "Soul Winning." Mark 16:15 is very clear but there are more ways too--EXPLOITS!!! Lets look at Daniel 11:32-33 (King James Version)

And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
So maybe you are saying what is an exploit well here you go: Exploit- exciting act: an interesting or daring action or achievement THIS is what God expects from us as Ambassadors!

Jesus said it this way in
John 14:12 (King James Version)

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.


As we prepare for 2011 ask God for some interesting, exciting, and daring exploits to do in His name and for the advancing of the Kingdom! Let's prepare for them NOW through prayer, fasting, and getting into the WORD daily and more than once a day!!! The more we get to know Him the more confident and strong we become. It's time to spend what God has been depositing in us since day one, it's time to not just talk about what Jesus did but DO what Jesus did. THAT'S KINGDOM right there!!! He has already given us His all so let's continue to do the same and do it BIG and do it GREATER than we have ever thought or imagined possible!!!!

You Have A License To Win!

License to Win

When we think about a license we could think about a business license, a driving license, a license plate, etc.. As Christians we have been given a License to Win -Souls. To fully understand what a license is let's look at the definition.
License-
1. Permit- A printed document that gives official permission to a person or group to own something or do something.
We have God's Word not only in black and white but also written on our hearts.
Hebrews 10:16 -“This is the covenant I will make with them
after that time, says the Lord.I will put my laws in their hearts,
and I will write them on their minds


Legal Authorization-
Official permission to do something either from a government or under a law or regulation.

As we see- we as Ambassadors have not only a printed document we also have official permission from our King as He commands us in Mar 16:15- And He said unto them, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature.

Ladies and gentlemen may I submit to you that to accomplish this no pulpit is required just your availability & cooperation (-:

Then Jesus tells us this as well in Luke 10:19 & 20
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Notwithstanding, in this rejoice not that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice because your names are written in Heaven."


So here we see that God has not only given us permission but He has commanded us to Go and get to work and He has provided us power over the enemy as well.
We have been given EVERYTHING that we need to share Christ, the permisission and the power. You have been given a License to Win through the Blood of Jesus are you using it?

Seize the Season for Christ!

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
redeeming the time, because the days are evil.Therefore, be ye not unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
Ephesians 5:15-17
)

Christmas time is here and I'm soooo excited and it has nothing to do with gifts, but everything to do with sharing Christ! I love that Scripture above because it not only tells us to walk carefully as if walking through a field that has bombs buried at various places within it, but also God is telling us to redeem the time because the days are evil. Now I don't know God's entire plan for your life but one thing I do know--YOU are an Ambassador for Christ and you have a responsibility to the King and Kingdom to share Christ, we all do.

Last July I petitioned my city for a speed bump because there had been several children almost run down by drivers speeding through our neighborhood. Well the city checked into it and after all their data was submitted they said they couldn't give us a speed bump because most people were only speeding by 3 miles. I was bummed, but appreciated them looking into it. Much to my delight though was another piece of information on that report--the city engineer stated that atleast 273 cars pass through my neighborhood daily, I couldn't believe it! Well when I read that I knew what I had to do, dig out my Christmas decorations(on Nov 1st mind you LOL!)----which included my big beautiful lighted garland cross. I rejoice knowing that atleast 273 people will be able to see the cross all lit up with a big bow on it. That's what I want for Christmas---SOULS: Saved, Delievered, Set free! As you decorate, buy cards, wrap gifts, look for items that exalt Jesus...when people are exposed to God's Word during this time of the year they seem to be a little softer, less on edge, and more open to the Gospel! Be encouraged and, "SEIZE THE SEASON! " Make the most of every opportunity not just this season but every single day to share Christ with the lost to the glory of God! (-:

Thankful for Jesus Life and Death

And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS for He will save His people from their sins. Matthew 1:21

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. John 3:8


When Jesus came to earth His plan for living was totally different from ours. His plan was to DIE. He didn't concern Himself with a wife, He wasn't interested in starting a business or buying a house. He wasn't here to build an empire, He came to us and for us. He came as God the Son, the Lamb, the Messiah, the Prince of Peace, The Word, and He was on a mission. He came to save us and in that, he also destroyed the works of the devil all for our sake...doesn't the knowledge of that right now just make you stop and say,"Thank You LORD!!!"

As Thanksgiving approaches remember what Jesus did for you. Remember how He came to destroy satans hold on you, the culture's hold on you, sins hold on you, your hold on you!!! Remember how He gave His life so we wouldn't have to experience the cup of God's wrath poured out undiluted and furious. Truly we have a lot to be thankful to God for-- for truly God loves us like no other ever could, and proved it by sending His Son.. a part of Himself He sent from Heaven to earth, so we could live life free from sin and the devil. That's truly the greatest thing I'm thankful for---everyday. Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!!!

No Wrath with Jesus! Thank God!!!

But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. 1 Thessalonians 5:8-10


I sit here sober minded, thankful, in awe, and just soooooooo glad that God had a plan from the foundation of the earth to redeem us. He loved us in Himself, long before we were even thought of and He didn't create us to experience His wrath, but something far better, His love and mercy. From within Himself flows divine love and mercy living perfectly along with, His judgment and His wrath. Here God speaks and we see God showing us His heart for us. He doesn't want to throw us into Hell, He wants to receive us as sons, graft us in, pour His lovingkindness and goodness in us and on us! Salvation by our LORD JESUS CHRIST, Who died for us that whether we are alive or asleep we should live together with Him!
Have you ever lived with somebody either by choice or because of circumstances? Then you know it can be a pleasant experience or an unpleasant one, but one thing is for certain, it is far better to live with Jesus then to live without Him. From this verse sent from Heaven to us, we find the rhyme and reason of all things Jesus! From this sweet eternal Word we get a glimpse of God's supreme love plan for us, Christ's mission, and our responsibility to Him because of it. From it we can tell others that," God didn't create them to hate them, but to save them!!!"
Thank God we will never know His wrath but only experience His love and fellowship because of Christ...THAT'S GOOD NEWS! Tell it!!!!!!! (-:

Amy Carmichael- Champion of Children

But Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for such is the kingdom of God. Matthew 19:14

Born in Ireland Dec 16, 1867 Amy was born into a devout Christian family and as a student she accepted Christ. She had many different experiences that shaped her life. From a life changing encounter with the LORD on the way to a mountain cave, to caring for the the chairman of the famous Keswick Conventions which were Bible conferences that taught on how to have a deeper relationship with God. While caring for the chairman Amy received two words from the LORD, two of the most beautiful words spoken from the LORD--"Go Ye." Although she had been criticized for claiming to hear the voice of the LORD she could do so because she stayed close to him through her prayer life. Amy went on to be a missionary and learned how important it is to blend in with the culture you are trying to win. She once ministered to an elderly woman who was about to give her heart to the LORD but the woman got distracted and offended when she noticed Amy's English attire. Amy traded her clothes for a kimono instead. Later she went to India and in 1901 she formed the Dohnavur Fellowship to rescue children from the dark world of temple service. Amy had rescued, housed, and educated 130 chidren some of which had been "married to the gods."
Amy was devoted to God, a prayer warrior, and had a heart for the lost especially children in danger. She also wrote 35 books and poems, a poem that I have put very close to my heart which speaks of the scars of commitment that a person experiences when following Jesus. May it bless and inspire you as much as it has me.

No wound? No scar?
Yet, as the Master shall the servent be,
And pierced are the feet that follow Me;
But thine are whole: can he have followed far
Who had no wound nor scar?

May you never allow fear, or the opinions of man, lonliness because of your call, or being misunderstood by others keep you from following Christ, and going wherever He sends you. (-:

A Captive Audience! Sharing Jesus Directly & Indirectly (-:

First I want to say Thank You to those of you who took an hour out of your Friday joining or listening in later to our first tele conference on Lifestyle Evangelism! The next live conference will be on Friday the 12th when we do it again, so the saints can be encouraged and equipped as they walk already empowered by God, endeavoring to win the lost according to Christ's mandate in Mark 16:15!

Ok so the very next day after the tele conference I had to go to the Dept.of Motor Vehicles, my license plates tags were going to expire Nov 1st and so there I was OUTSIDE in a long, long, line with the rest of the procrastinators!LOL! There was a man in front of me and a young women behind me and about 35-40 of us all altogether. We greeted one another, then the gentleman in front of me just started some small talk and I engaged him in it INTENTIONALLY ...the 7 B's kicked in!
So I just prayed and patiently waited for my opportunity to be intentional to share Christ..then it came. I mentioned to them how I remember having to be in line some Sundays trying to get into our "Parent Church" years ago. The man in front of me commented on church and the young woman behind did too and IT WAS ON! Man I tell you, we had a ball!!! Right there outside in line with a captive audience, those others around us heard it all, from trusting God alone, Salvation, to Jesus making mention of Hell in the Bible more than He mentioned Heaven, to where we went to church and just how thankful we were for our Pastors.We had church for almost 2 1/2 hours! Anybody within earshot of us has no excuse if they stand before the Great White Throne instead of the Judgment Seat of Christ. Let me tell you all--we made the most of that time outside and inside. We weren't shouting, "Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand" like John and Jesus, but we were loud enough that you could hear about Jesus, how to get to know Him for yourself, and where to go to learn more about Him!!! Glory to God!!!

I told my husband next year I'm intentionally going to do that again!!! Maybe next time, I'll have the boldness to just ask people right there in that line, if after hearing me or whoever speak about the awesomeness of Christ if anybody would like to have their sins forgiven and receive eternal life by acccepting Jesus!!!! Pray for me!!!! (-:
Remember- Make the most of every opportunity, don't let your name be in somebody mouth and memory who's burning in the pits of Hell. Don't let it be said of you that in one way or another when you were in that persons earshot or presence, that you did not share Christ...

William Carey- A Man with a Heart for Missions

For I am not ashamed of the Gospel (good news) of Christ, for it is God's power working unto salvation [for deliverance from eternal death] to everyone who believes with a personal trust and a confident surrender and firm reliance, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, For in the Gospel a righteousness which God ascribes is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed through the way of faith that arouses to more faith]. As it is written, The man who through faith is just and upright shall live and shall live by faith. Romans 5:16 & 17

Another great Evangelist was William Carey. He was converted as a teenager and began to preach at 24. In 1792 he published a small book called "An Enquiry Into the Obligation of Christians to Use Means for the Conversion of the Heathens" (this is the shortened title!) A quote from the book explains the call of evangelism wired into every single disciple of Christ- he writes, "This commission was as extensive as possible, and laid the disciples under obligation to disperse themselves into every country of the habitable globe, and preach to all the inhabitants without exception, or limitation." This great man of God preached the Gospel and encouraged Pastors to give to missions work. Carey and his family moved from Europe to a Danish colony in India. During those many years he pastored, preached, and translated the Bible into 37 languages. He helped to abolish the "suttee" practice where Hindu widows were burned to death alive at their husbands funeral service bonfire. He also founded a Bible College, and botanical gardens. He accomplished so much while experiencing personal setbacks and constant family troubles, yet he never looked back, he kept right on working and reaching the lost. As you read this may your heart be stirred toward missions work if it hasn't been already! If you are a Pastor may the LORD raise up people in your church that can be sent to other countries to preach the Gospel. In addition there are already many established churches and missionaries over seas who could advance the kingdom of God just as rapidly with your churches support, and they could do it with less money than over here in the States.

Evangelism Memory Verse Hebrews 10:29

Hebrews 10:29 (21st Century King James Version)

Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath accounted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath despised the Spirit of grace?




Hebrews 10:29 (Amplified Bible)

How much worse (sterner and heavier) punishment do you suppose he will be judged to deserve who has spurned and [thus] trampled underfoot the Son of God, and who has considered the covenant blood by which he was consecrated common and unhallowed, thus profaning it and insulting and outraging the [Holy] Spirit [Who imparts] grace (the unmerited favor and blessing of God)?



Hebrews 10:29 (New Living Translation)

Just think how much worse the punishment will be for those who have trampled on the Son of God, and have treated the blood of the covenant, which made us holy, as if it were common and unholy, and have insulted and disdained the Holy Spirit who brings God’s mercy to us.

Reaching the Lost at ALL Costs

And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build on another man's foundation, but as it is written: To whom He was not announced, they shall see; And those who have not heard shall understand. Romans 15:20-21

Through out the rest of this year I'm going to introduce to you some great men and women of God who gave their all to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. As we turn the final pages of 2010 and possibly time as we know it with the return of Christ any second, may God stir you up and set your heart on fire for the lost.

Rowland Bingham was heard to have said, "I will open Africa or die trying."
This brother endured against the many,many, obstacles that seemed to be designed specifically to stop him. Obstacles like discouraging words from those who were influential in his life, the death of his friends that were helping him, and being striken with illness himself. Still he persevered and he started the Sudan Interior Mission to help raise funds for his second attempt at bringing the Gospel to the Sudan. Sadly Rowland's friends lost heart and abandoned the mission and him, in addition to that blow he then found himself struck down with malaria and having to return back to England. He said that went through the darkest period of his life after that second attempt, but he tried one more time! As he learned to fight the powers of darkness through prayer, fruit started manifesting. He started hundreds of churches and even built medical centers to help fight against a local disease leprosy. After 50 years Rowland saw 10,000 people converted to Christ and nearly 1,000 churches planted. What an awesome man of God he was. He faced all kinds of hurdles, but yet he refused to give up on God's plan for him and the Sudan.
Saints of God- we too have been charged by God to fulfill the Great Commission, don't give up! God needs you! Learn to endure whatever comes your way, wage war against darkness through prayer. Watch God move through you with the intent, of helping you snatch souls out of the kingdom of darkness!!!!
