Present The Gospel

The Lord is saying:  I Am here, and I Am with you.  The time is quickly approaching when people who don’t know Me will become very unstable and seek relief from their woes, but most will look in the wrong places.  Instead of seeking to help others they will seek to help self from all that is happening around them.  But you, My loves, I will send to them, to show them the better way – the way of abundant life.  I will give you the words to speak to them at the perfect time, that they be roused to look from their immediate circumstances up and around to see Me in their midst.  This is when they will see you, and then Me in you, and they will have a very important choice to make at that point.  If they refuse what you say to them, do not fret, My loves, for it is not you they are rejecting, but Me.  Remember that it is the job of My Holy Spirit to save those who come to you – it is your job to present them to Me, and My Spirit to change their hearts.  This is the job of obedience for My children, to present My Gospel to the world by the way you speak and by the way you live differently than the world.  Be encouraged this day, for you never know when you are affecting someone that I bring across your path that is on their journey to Me.  You may be the final steppingstone that brings them to repentance. 

 

Psalm 39:1-13 (ESV) To the choirmaster: to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, “I will guard my ways, that I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle, so long as the wicked are in my presence.” 2  I was mute and silent; I held my peace to no avail, and my distress grew worse. 3  My heart became hot within me. As I mused, the fire burned; then I spoke with my tongue: 4  “O LORD, make me know my end and what is the measure of my days; let me know how fleeting I am! 5  Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah 6  Surely a man goes about as a shadow! Surely for nothing they are in turmoil; man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather! 7  “And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you. 8  Deliver me from all my transgressions. Do not make me the scorn of the fool! 9  I am mute; I do not open my mouth, for it is you who have done it. 10  Remove your stroke from me; I am spent by the hostility of your hand. 11  When you discipline a man with rebukes for sin, you consume like a moth what is dear to him; surely all mankind is a mere breath! Selah 12  “Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry; hold not your peace at my tears! For I am a sojourner with you, a guest, like all my fathers. 13  Look away from me, that I may smile again, before I depart and am no more!”
