rmw pt. 2 - the cause

wow. that's all i can say about tonight. i am completely in awe of God's power and revelation to His people. there was a real true message spoke to us tonight that we all needed to hear. rev. jerry jones spoke on the cause of the christian life. it's not A cause, it's THE cause. the cause of Jesus Christ. as Paul says, it's 'because of the cause I live'. we have a very distinct purpose as apostolic believers in the world today and that is to witness to the lost. to find the hungry and bring them to church. to labor and serve as the 'lights of the world.' we have a calling that deals with the LIVES of people and their eternal destination. we have to 'go in to the fire and pull them out'. this country makes such a big ordeal about a missing child, or trying to save a person's physical life... and don't get me wrong - these are important things. BUT there are 'dead' and 'missing' people all around us! it's much more important than their phsyical well-being - it's about their souls! Satan will keep us from being bold in our witnessing. He will feed us lies and try to distract us. he can even distract us with good things - like feeding and clothing those less fortunate. this is a wonderful thing... but fleshly food and coverings is not ultimately what these people need. they need Jesus! Baptism! the Holy Ghost! rev. jones used the analogy of a good salesman. even when he gets rejected he presses on. we are to be aggressive in the cause of Christ. it's the most imporant thing we could do for someone else.

'For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.' - Ephesians 6:12

i know without a doubt God has called me to witness fiercly for Him to my unsaved friends and family. i will be sensitive to His calling and will forever testify on His behalf. He is the only thing that matters in the end. i am not ashamed. i will not be silent, no. i will not be quiet anymore.
