Simple enough. Finding your place in God. How does a child of God find
where he or she is supposed to serve in the body of Christ? Well, I just
ant to start off by reading from Ephesians 4:11-13. 11-"And He Himself
gave some to be Apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some
pastors and teachers, 12-for the equipping of the saints for the work of
ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13-till we all come to
the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God to a
perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ."
What is your gift? Is it mentioned up there? Don't know/ Ask Him to show
you what your gift is, because He will. He showed me what my gifts are
And He will do the same for you. We all have a part to play in God;s
master plan. Some people will be pastors and teacher, others prophets,
and some evangelists. That last one, I believe we are all evangelists.
You are an evangelist if you go out on the street and share the good
news of Christ. I have done that. I encourage you to find a church, or
group in your church that is into sharing the Gospel on the street or in
the home. When it it is in the home, it is then called "Lifestyle
evangelism." You can be someone like Sheyla, who has some stories I am
sure about when she has cleaned houses and witnessed while she is working
or when she is done. Whatever the case may be. ALot of times we tend to
think that we will never walk up to someone and share the Gospel. The
world is looking for something. They are looking for power. A few nights
ago, I went to my singles Care-group or CG.
There was soemthing that someone said that really went off and that is
this: We basically try to hide things or put things down. why? Because
we are worried about what other people will say or do. You have nothing
to worry about. If you pray in tongues it is not to someone on this
earth, but always to God. God I know does not want a munch if timid
people or scared people worried about what others say. What do you think
Jesus would have said before He was about to be put on the cross? "No, I
cannot b/c what will all the peopel think." Absolutely NOT!!! NO, He had
to strip himself of everything and to do it for us. That to me is the
ultimate sacrifice a man ever made. To die on a cross and get beaten up
to a pulp. I am sure that there was alot of blood. I do believe God has
place you here for a reason. What that may be, I do not know. God knows
why He brought you. He already planned that you would come down here
today whatever the dats is, the time, the year, to spend time with Him.
LAst night, I listened to Arthur Blessitt and he is cool. He is an
evangelist and he gave alot of ideas for witnessing on the internet.
Going to chatrooms, guestbooks, and other stuff. I went on some
chatrooms last night, and talked to a man who was sick in the head. He
said to be that Jesus was dead and that believing in Christ is all in
your head. That is a bunch of lies from the pit of hell!!! Then I talked
to this other man, who is on the Christian channel, and he mentions Jimi
hendrix. I said that he was dead and then burning up. He asks me a
question. I respond in hell. He asks me what it is and I tell him. I ask
if he is saved or a Christian three times and I never get a staright
answer. There you have it. God bless!! If you need prayer, want someone
to talk to, have a need or just want to send a letter, that is fine. I
am here for you. Have a good day in Jesus. Bye-Ben
P.S. Do some internet evangelism TODAY!!!
