*Luke 14:16-23 ESV
16 But he said to him, “A man once gave a great banquet and invited many. 17 And at the time for the banquet he sent his servant[a] to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
18 But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a field, and I must go out and see it. Please have me excused.’ 19 And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to examine them. Please have me excused.’ 20 And another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’ 21 So the servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant.
‘Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’ 22 And the servant said, ‘Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.’ 23 And the master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled. *

To compel: Show them, tell them and convince them that God’s love is for them and they are welcome.

The more we are convinced of our Beliefs, the more our life will be intentional about us promoting our beliefs.

1 Corinthians 2:4 ESV
and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.

Selling Jesus is easy when you are fully convinced that He is the Way, The Truth, The Life and the answer for humanity.

Romans 4:20-21 ESV
20 No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, 21 fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised.

Our Faith in the “God of the Impossible” is what gets us past the skeptical parts of our stories.

We all have people in our Lives who may seem too far gone, but ultimatelty our assessment in their condition is a reflection the condition of our lack of faith in HIS ability to do the miracle.

What the world needs now is a church that is fully convinced that a relationship with Jesus and through the Power of the Holy Spirit is still sufficient to rescue a world in desperate need.

Trust God with the “Laundry on The Table”

The more I glimpse Gods Heart for Humanity- The easier it is for Me to Have His Heart.

Matthew 11:28-30 ESV
28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Evangelism was never meant to be a noun, but a verb.

When we try to reach people as projects, results will be expected, but when reach people through love, disciples will be made.

One of the greatest things we are called to do is be a part of someone’s Rescue Story.

*1- His Living water will quench your thirst. *

John 4:28-30 ESV
So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” 30 They went out of the town and were coming to him.

*2- Believe for the Long Shots. *

Where people are is not where Jesus will leave them.

*3- Learn to live with the End in mind. *

Learn to see what God sees and have vision for the finished work of Jesus in thheir Lives.
