Spirit Encounter

As I sit here pondering what I just experienced at the Spirit Encounter this weekend I am overwhelmed by God's presence. I have never experienced anything like what we experienced. I am so thankful to the team that came from Brazil to help. I saw God changing people right in front of my eyes. No one that was there will ever be the same again. As Josiah so powerfully preached to us, the thing that hurt Jesus the most was being separated from God as the sins of all mankind, past, present and future where on Him. I know one thing for sure. I have a new insight into the call on my life. People die every day and enter into their eternal destination. We must do whatever we can, by any means available to us to snatch as many souls as we possibly can from the hand of our adversary, the devil. He knows that his time is short and the push is on to stop as many as he can from seeing the truth.

2 Corinthians 4:3-6 (ESV)
3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing. 4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5 For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

God has shone His glory in our hearts. It takes a miracle from God for anyone to have the veil lifted from their eyes and see the truth. Personal evangelism is easy when we allow God to bring people into our paths. When God does this, He has already prepared their hearts and all we have to do is be obedient and speak the Word. God will do the rest.

Matthew 28:18 is not the "Great Suggestion" it is the "Great Commandment!"

Matthew 28:18-20 (ESV)
18 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
