Subject: How do you "share the Gospel?" |
Bible Note: Jesus the man filled with the Holy Spirit and power. God does not want you to do the work. He wants you to be HIS instrument of righteousness. An instrument does not play itself. God is the musician we are the instruments. When we are baptized with the Holy Spirit we have the Spirit of God which knows the mind of God living inside of us (1 Cor 2:16 For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ.) Jesus did nothing of Himself. John 12:49 “For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. 50“I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.” And again John 14:9 9Jesus said* to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10“Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works. Are we better than Jesus to do what we think God wants done or to do it our way by our might or is Jesus our model for Kingdom living. To do and be in Him 24/7. 1 Cor. 1:30. Read Galatians 3 and meditate on what God says for us to DO. |
