YOU HAVE A MINISTRY. BUT WHAT DO YOU MINISTER?
YOU KNOW YOU ALWAYS HAVE A MESSAGE. THE WORD OF GOD. THE BIBLE.
BUT WHAT IS THE MESSAGE FOR THE HOUR? THE "PRESENT TRUTH"?
ACTS 4.20 SAYS "WE CANNOT BUT SPEAK THE THINGS WHICH WE HAVE SEEN AND HEARD".
THIS IS THE HIGHEST MESSAGE. BECAUSE IT IS WHAT GOD HAS PERSONALLY MINISTERED TO YOU. AND MANY TIMES, IT'S FOR MORE THAN JUST YOU. IT HAS POWER. POWER TO MOVE OTHERS.
THINK OF THE THINGS GOD HAS SHOWN YOU, THE THINGS GOD HAS MINISTERED TO YOU. THE THINGS GOD HAS DONE IN YOUR LIFE, SPOKEN TO YOU, HIS WORD, INTO YOUR SITUATIONS, RELATIONSHIPS, STRUGGLES, YOUR CARNALITY.
THE THINGS HE HAS ENCOURAGED YOU WITH, BUILT YOU WITH. THESE ARE THE THINGS YOU HAVE SEEN AND HEARD.
THIS IS YOUR TESTIMONY, YOUR WITNESS.
HOW DO I EVANGELIZE? YOU SIMPLY GIVE PEOPLE THIS. YOUR PERSONAL EYE WITNESS OF THE LIVING RESURRECTED WORD OF GOD TO YOU, THROUGH YOU, TO THEM.
THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH, DEAD LETTER AND LIFE. AN ANOINTING, AND GOING THROUGH MOTIONS, LIMITED INFORMATION AND UNLIMITED ENDLESS LIVING RHEMA. A COMPELLING EYE WITNESS REPORT, OR SOMETHING WHICH DOES NOT MINISTER TO YOU, WHICH USUALLY WON'T MINISTER THROUGH YOU TO THEM. WE CANNOT BUT SPEAK THE THINGS WHICH WE HAVE SEEN AND HEARD. AC4.20
