Topic: In and Out (04/30/09)
I would like to take this opportunity to reach out to each and every Christian in America. It’s time that Christians take their testimonies out of the church and onto the streets and into neighborhoods. In these troubled times there are so many people who are out there hurting. They are contemplating suicide, robbing and stealing and doing anything they have to to get by. They have lost jobs, lost their money in the stock market and are losing their children to the streets. The Christians are just sitting back and watching it happen. We stand up IN the church and testify about what the Lord has done for us, when it is those hurting people OUT of the church that needs to hear that testimony. It’s those people who need to hear how God has brought you out of your troubles and how God restored your health and how God has delivered you from alcohol, drugs, pornography and anything else that people in our hurting nation are dealing with. People this is the Word that we Christians HAVE to get out to the lost. These people don't know that God WILL forgive them and save them. They don't know that when Jesus fills your heart there is no room for Satan and his lies. They don't know that there is hope in the Lord. We Christians know what God is capable of. PLEASE help me to take our testimonies OUT to the people who desperately need to hear what God can do for them. Has God restored your health, delivered you from an addiction, blessed you financially when you thought you were about to lose it all? This is what people all over America are dealing with right now. People need hope! If they don’t hear about God from Christians, then who are they going to hear it from? THEY ARE NOT GOING TO HEAR IT. They are going to give up and give in. How many of you know someone who committed suicide? And how many Christians said, "I wish I would have talked to them about God"? Don’t sit back and wait on the next person to take their own life by suicide or drinking or drugs. Share how wonderful our God is with a hurting person. So what if they tell you they don’t want to hear it. You have to let that person know that God loves them and there is nothing too big for our God. GO OUT AND TELL SOMEBODY!! Put that thought in their head that GOD CAN AND WILL HELP THEM IF THEY WILL JUST LET HIM IN. Who knows how many lives you may save. Somebody out there needs each and every one of you. NOW GO OUT AND FIND OUT WHO THAT IS AND DO IT SOON! You don’t know how much time that person has left. Don’t let them die without knowing the Lord. There is an individual out there who is fixing to take their own life at this very moment. Don't you wish you were there to talk to them? Go find them and bring them to your Father.
