The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of
sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.
Luke 4:18-19
When I read this, God showed me: you don’t have to be blind, but you can be spiritually blind, or spiritually broken. You may have sat in a church service, may go through life, and you feel broken. In the class I teach, geared toward youth, we have talked about being a witness, doing outreach, and doing what God has called us to do. We are called to be a witness. People are hungry for someone to teach them about Jesus, and to invite them to church. They may turn you down most of the time but deep down someone is saying, “Lord if they ask just one more time I’ll go.” Do you know every post on social media, your actions, and the way you present yourself is an outreach. You’re witnessing even if you don’t notice. We are set apart.(1 Peter 2:9).
I had the opportunity to come in contact with a lady at work, she noticed something different about me. She preceded to asked, “are you Pentecostal?” I told her I was, and immediately she began to share her story, also what she’s going through. It broke my heart because she’s broken and hungry. There are people everyday that are hoping and praying that someone would reach out to them. Sometimes we get discouraged when asking someone to come to church or talk about God, but that person is saying, "If they’ll just ask one more time just one more time I’ll go."
Don’t give up on whatever you’re doing for God, all it takes is just one more time.
That could be someone’s break through or even yours. I believe we the church is heading into a new season. We have to be ready, we have to fight for the lost souls. We have to put in the work, because if we don’t the devil will.
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:15
