Reader,

One of the things i teach my students is that ..

"you are going to meet JESUS", and He is going to ask you..>>"what have you done in MY Body"....

= All Believers need to think about this, as its very sobering, and can literally change how you serve God, for the better, from now on.
We also need to think about Hebrews 9:27, that teaches us all that there is approaching.......a day we will die. (depart).
Its coming to us all, and so, ... that means our TIME is running out..
We need to think about this......consider it, as this also is very sobering and doing this can also change how you serve God, for the better, from now on.

Let me segue' here and post something wise said by a non Christian.
The "Buddha"...said...>>>"the biggest mistake people make, is that they always think they have more time"..
And when you live as if you have all this time........as if its guaranteed, then you will tend to put off what you should have been doing all along for God.

The most tragic case of this......."i thought i had more time"......is regarding people who went to Hell, this last 2000 yrs.. .and they are there now, and they KNOW this....= "OMG.....i knew it was True....I knew to Trust in Christ, but i decided to WAIT"., and their time ran out.

Reader, is there an Obituary page in your Local Newspaper?........Well, on that Page, you find people who died Yesterday, or in the last few days, and every one of them thought they had more "TIME".


Also, There is no need to fear Death, as death is just the amazing door that leads us to the Eternal Life that is already inside us as Jesus.

"Christ IN YOU< the Hope of Glory", (and Glory is Heaven).

Now, what is the most important thing we can bring wtih us, to God and Christ, when we meet them?

Its one thing........only........Its = "I led someone To Christ"., as that is bringing Soul's into the Kingdom, and that is the best "fruit" that you can ever be a part of producing for God.

Are you afraid to Talk about Jesus to other people?.......People who are not Christians?
Well, one way to get past this.....is to realize that the ministry of all Christians is to share Jesus, but its not our ministry to save anyone.
WE are not the Holy Spirit, we are not Jesus.
We are just the messengers...... we have the message of Eternal Life.. we have the Good News.........we have the HOPE they need. We have their RESCUE.
So, our part is just to share the message......and God's part is to do the rest.

It can be that you try to talk to someone about your faith, about the Lord you Love......about how you and your life has been changed, and the person you are telling, tells you to "shut up"....or "get lost".......or "well, that is your Jesus Crutch"., "i dont need a crutch".
And that is perfectly fine........because you have given them the HOPE, the message, the Truth, .and it went IN THEM.... and now God has some SEED to water, to grow, to enlighten.....and you put it in them.. and maybe you were not the first..
It can be that months from now..... they come to Christ......but today, they didnt.......and thats not anyone's fault.

Sometimes its different.....sometimes you meet a prepared heart, that is longing for hope......looking for it.
And you are it., because Jesus is the only HOPE....and you have Him to give them.

See, this world is a bright shiney false lie, that fills hearts and lives with hopelessness, emptyness, hurt. and loss, as this is the Devil's world and that is what He offers everyone.

Reader,
We, are the rescue.....WE have the eternal answer.....the final Cure....... and HE Is Jesus, who is the only HOPE in this world.

And one more, as i know that God will "strike a chord" in someone, when i share this message.... that you read.

Let say you begin, in the next few days, or weeks to feel something in you that is calling you to share Jesus.

So, you are afraid.
= Its ok.
See, much of what Ministers do, we do it afraid, as that is faith.
Its faith do it, and to feel inadiquate.......to feel, unworthy.......not capable......and that is the perferct spirit.....""weaknes"" because when we are weak, then JESUS IS STRONG in us..........or as Paul says.....>"i can do all things THROUGH Christ".......and this is our strength.

So, if you are afraid, and start to share the Lord.....then do it like this........ When you are talking to someone.....and its going good or its going wrong..........no matter.........ask them if you can pray for them before you part.
Ask them "is there anything you need , any problems.......i want to pray with you".
99% will agree, and then, in the prayer for their NEED, you bring there need of Salvation To God, also in this prayer... and they hear this...

Do it, and God will take it from there.

And if they wont have your prayer, then be kind, gracious, thoughtful, and let them go, and know this.......they will go away, and think about your offer, and regret that they didnt let you pray with them.
And that, is again, a SEED, that God will use........probably the next time when He brings someone else across their path.
Next time they will be OPEN, and that is partly because of your good work.
