Friday Night at Phoenix Art Fair
- I pray that you read this to the end
- I pray that you ask the Lord on High to keep us humble
- I pray that He continues to encourage us to GO speak to strangers who may be lost on the streets.
- I pray that what the Holy Spirit has done in us that you ask Him to do to you as well
Wow, what can I say about Friday night!!! The Lord has shown us a place, just like in Luke 10:2, where the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. But praise God and the Holy Spirit, that last night His prayers are being answered. Again this was an awesome night for the Lord as 100's of Gospel tracts were handed out. Alan, Erwin, Mike, Philip, Steve, and a couple Brandt and Haley, and another couple Jeremy and Tish and their son Joshua, and another couple Marcus and Kat and Alex. How pleased the Lord must be to see all of His chosen in the family going out to reach the lost.
These sowers all showed up with one thought in mind, to intentionally confront those who passed by so that they my have the opportunity to witness to those who may be lost. By offering them these Gospel tracts that ask are they "Good Enough To Get Into Heaven", they are being proactive. Remember Jesus didn't wait for others to come to Him, He went out into the streets to reach them...shouldn't we be doing the same if we claim to be a follower?
By using His Ten Commandments we can be assured that it's the Word of God being professed and not a man centered watered down comment that God is love and Jesus wants them to have a wonderful plan for their life!
Charles Spurgeon stated: "I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach Law. The Law is the needle, and you cannot draw the silken thread of the gospel through a man's heart until you first send the Law to make way for it."
He was called the Prince of Preachers maybe we should heed what he says?
Paul states in (Rom 10:17) So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
I pray that some of you, this includes those in leadership as well, give up just 2 hours one Friday night a month to come out and see what the Lord is doing on the streets. Or how about make a commitment just for every other month, you know like when you commit to attending a Bible study. Is that too much to ask to do for the One who sacrificed His life so that you could have eternal life?
He commanded us to GO and share! (Mark 16:15), in (Acts 1: 8),(Acts 10:42) to be His witness. He died not so that we would have a better life, but He died a horrible death to pay the fine for the crimes that you and I and others committed, like lying, stealing, blaspheming, lust to name a few.
His resurrection from the dead 3 days later proved He was God and He warned us that we need to REPENT or PERISH. (Luke 13:3-5)
He performed miracles that drew a crowd to hear His message, we give away these glow-sticks, it draws a crowd and that crowd gets a chance to hear the truth. The glow-sticks are a big hit! It is a non stop request to get one. I can't explain why they desire them but you'll have to come and see for yourself.
You should hear what those on the street say to us when we ask them if they are Good.
It's sad when you hear someone profess to be a Christian and then get offended because you explain what the Bible says about Law breakers. Or to have some Gay people tell you that God is Love and as long as you love, then God is pleased, even if that love is with the same sex partner.
One would have to ask why would someone who professes to being a liar, thief, and an adulterer at heart be offended that a Holy God must punish that person. Didn't the Bible say that Jesus came for the sick and not the righteous? So why get offended? That would be making the statement that you one of the righteous wouldn't it?
So I'll end with another prayer request, the one Jesus ask for us to do for Him, (Luke 10:2)
"The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest."
