    THE GREAT COMMISSION:
    GO, MAKE DISCIPLES, AND POINT PEOPLE TO JESUS

    “Go and make disciples of all the nations…” — Matthew 28:19

    What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus?

    It means more than simply believing that Jesus exists.

    It means following Him.

    Learning from Him.

    Obeying Him.

    Loving what He loves.

    Turning away from sin.

    Growing in His Word.

    And helping others discover the same hope we have found in Him.

    This is at the heart of what Jesus commanded His followers after His resurrection: the Great Commission.

    JESUS GAVE US A MISSION

    After Jesus rose from the dead, He gathered His disciples and gave them a clear command:

    “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations…”
    — Matthew 28:18–19 NLT

    Notice where Jesus begins:

    “All authority has been given to Me.”

    The Great Commission isn’t ultimately about our authority, our platform, our ministry, or our ability.

    It’s about the authority of Jesus.

    We don’t go because we are impressive.

    We don’t preach because we have everything figured out.

    We don’t make disciples because we are perfect.

    We go because Jesus commanded us.

    And He is the One who has all authority.

    GO

    Jesus said:

    “Therefore, go…”

    Going can mean crossing an ocean to reach another nation.

    But it can also mean walking across the street.

    It can mean speaking to a coworker.

    Encouraging a hurting friend.

    Sharing your testimony.

    Praying with someone.

    Serving someone who is struggling.

    Opening the Bible with someone who wants to know God.

    The mission field isn’t limited to a church building or a foreign country.

    Wherever Jesus has placed you, you have opportunities to represent Him.

    You don’t have to wait until you have a large platform.

    You don’t need thousands of followers.

    You don’t need a ministry title.

    You simply need to be willing to say:

    “Jesus, send me.”

    SHARE THE GOSPEL

    The Great Commission includes proclaiming the good news.

    Humanity is separated from God by sin.

    But God loved us so much that He sent His Son.

    Jesus lived without sin, died for our sins, was buried, and rose again.

    Through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, we can receive forgiveness and reconciliation with God.

    That is not merely positive encouragement.

    That is the Gospel.

    And the Gospel is too important to keep to ourselves.

    Paul wrote:

    “For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes…”
    — Romans 1:16 NLT

    We share the Gospel because people need Jesus.

    Not because we want attention.

    Not because we want arguments.

    Not because we want to win internet debates.

    Because Jesus saves.

    BAPTIZE

    Jesus continued:

    “Baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
    — Matthew 28:19 NLT

    Baptism doesn’t replace faith in Christ or become a work by which we earn salvation.

    Instead, baptism is an important act of obedience and a public identification with Jesus.

    A disciple doesn’t merely hear Jesus’ words.

    A disciple responds to Jesus.

    TEACH

    Then Jesus gave another part of the command:

    “Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you.”
    — Matthew 28:20 NLT

    This is where discipleship goes deeper.

    Evangelism isn’t the finish line.

    Someone may hear the Gospel today and begin following Jesus—but they still need to grow.

    They need Scripture.

    They need prayer.

    They need Christian community.

    They need encouragement.

    They need correction.

    They need to learn what it means to surrender their lives to Christ.

    They need to learn how to recognize false teaching and test everything against God’s Word.

    They need to learn how to forgive.

    How to love.

    How to serve.

    How to resist temptation.

    How to walk by the Spirit.

    How to persevere when following Jesus becomes difficult.

    We don’t make disciples by teaching people to follow us.

    We make disciples by teaching them to follow Jesus.

    DISCIPLESHIP MEANS OBEDIENCE

    Jesus didn’t say merely to teach people everything He commanded.

    He said to teach them “to obey” those commands.

    That’s important.

    Biblical discipleship isn’t simply collecting Bible knowledge.

    We can know Scripture and still refuse to obey it.

    Jesus said:

    “If you love me, obey my commandments.”
    — John 14:15 NLT

    Following Jesus involves surrender.

    It involves repentance.

    It involves obedience.

    It involves allowing the Holy Spirit to transform us from the inside out.

    None of this means Christians become perfect overnight.

    Being born again doesn’t mean we suddenly become flawless. It means God begins changing our direction.

    We stumble.

    We repent.

    We get back up.

    We grow.

    We keep following Jesus.

    TRUTH AND LOVE BELONG TOGETHER

    When we share Jesus with others, we should never forget that biblical truth and biblical love aren’t enemies.

    Jesus was full of grace and truth.

    We should speak the truth in love.

    That means we don’t intentionally attack people.

    We don’t shame people.

    We don’t treat sinners as though they are beyond God’s grace.

    But biblical love also doesn’t require us to hide what Scripture says about sin, repentance, judgment, forgiveness, and salvation.

    Real love points people toward Jesus.

    Sometimes that means comfort.

    Sometimes it means encouragement.

    Sometimes it means warning.

    Sometimes it means calling someone to repentance.

    And sometimes it simply means sitting beside someone who is hurting and reminding them:

    Jesus has not forgotten you.

    WE ARE SENT TO MAKE DISCIPLES

    The Great Commission isn’t reserved for pastors, missionaries, evangelists, or people standing behind pulpits.

    Every believer has a role in the mission of making disciples.

    Your testimony matters.

    Your prayers matter.

    Your conversations matter.

    Your acts of service matter.

    Your willingness to open God’s Word with someone matters.

    You may never know how God uses one conversation.

    One prayer.

    One Scripture.

    One invitation to church.

    One act of kindness.

    One testimony.

    One moment when you simply refused to be ashamed of Jesus.

    Paul wrote:

    “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow.”
    — 1 Corinthians 3:6 NLT

    That’s freeing.

    We aren’t responsible for changing someone’s heart.

    God does that.

    Our responsibility is faithfulness.

    We plant.

    We water.

    We proclaim.

    We serve.

    We teach.

    We pray.

    And we trust God with the results.

    FROM ONE PERSON TO THE NATIONS

    Jesus told His disciples to make disciples “of all the nations.”

    The mission is bigger than us.

    Bigger than our churches.

    Bigger than our denominations.

    Bigger than our social media pages.

    Bigger than our personal stories.

    The mission belongs to Jesus.

    And His Gospel is for every nation, every people, every language, every neighborhood, every generation.

    That’s why Grace Sent exists:

    Not to point people to ourselves.
    Not to build a name for ourselves.
    But to point people to Jesus.

    PRAY. GO. SHARE. SERVE. TEACH. SEND.

    The Great Commission can become more than something we read.

    It can become the way we live.

    PRAY — Ask God to send workers into the harvest.

    GO — Be willing to step outside your comfort zone.

    SHARE — Proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

    SERVE — Show Christ’s love through action.

    TEACH — Help believers grow in God’s Word.

    SEND — Equip and encourage others to carry the Gospel forward.

    And through every step, remember the promise Jesus gave:

    “And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
    — Matthew 28:20 NLT

    We don’t go alone.

    Jesus is with us.

    WILL YOU GO?

    Maybe you’ve been waiting for the perfect opportunity to serve God.

    Maybe you’ve thought you need more knowledge.

    More confidence.

    More followers.

    More resources.

    More experience.

    But perhaps what Jesus is asking from you isn’t perfection.

    It’s willingness.

    Say yes to Jesus.

    Open your Bible.

    Pray.

    Learn.

    Obey.

    Share your testimony.

    Serve someone.

    Tell someone about the hope you have in Christ.

    And when God opens a door, walk through it.

    Because the Great Commission isn’t simply a command to read.

    It’s a mission to live.

    GRACE SENT

    Saved by Grace.
    Reborn in Christ.
    Sent to Point People to Jesus.

    We aren’t the Savior.

    Jesus is.

    We aren’t the light.

    Jesus is the Light of the World.

    We aren’t the answer.

    Jesus is the answer.

    So let’s go.

    Let’s make disciples.

    Let’s proclaim the Gospel.

    Let’s teach God’s Word.

    Let’s serve others.

    Let’s love people enough to tell them the truth.

    And above all—

    let everything we do point back to Jesus.

    Go. Make disciples. Teach them to obey. And trust Jesus with the harvest.

    Grace Sent — Not pointing to self. Pointing to Jesus.

  • Hisle Films Seeking Experienced Faith Based Movie Script Writer
    (Film format only - no TV format)

    This Writer will sign an NDA, Can live anywhere, Will work remotely, Will have access to their own Windows PC [desktop or laptop] or Mac, Will have their own Cell Phone (Apple iPhone preferred but not required), Will have their own Google Gmail Email Account [or create one], Will have a recording device or App on their cell phone for dictation, Will have notepad and pencil [no pen], Will have an active CashApp or Venmo Account or Zelle [through their bank] for getting paid, Upon hire this Writer I choose needs to have the flexibility to be available via video (WhatsApp, or FaceTime) to brainstorm this new movie script with the Director (me) for at least 3 solid hours every other week on either any Friday or Saturday [9am-12pm Denver Mountain Standard Time] till new movie script is complete by or before Jan 1, 2028. There's so much more which will be discussed during interview

    Best way to get an interview is to read everything with-in this posting, visit and become familiar with Hisle Films entire website to get to know me the Director better, then email Hisle Films at hislefilmsAnderson Mwila.com and in the Subject Line type "MovieScriptWriter HisleFilms NewMovie" and in the body of the email include the following: tell me about you and your walk with Jesus, provide your website (Hisle Films is not part of any Social Media except LordsBook so, that's why I prefer you only have a website) which reflects you as a movie script writer and tell me what you bring to the table and why
    (If you only provide one-liners such as: "I'm interested" or, negative / rude comments, then no need for you to apply because that tells me you're not really interested, you don't follow direction and I'm just going to ignore and delete your email anyway)

    Must be a genuine believer / follower of Jesus [The one and only true God]. The Writer does-not need to be a US Citizen during the script-writing-process since the Writer and myself will be brainstorming this new movie script remotely over video however, the Writer will need to be legally able through Immigration to travel to the USA (Colorado Springs Colorado) with a non-expired passport or passport of whichever Country outside the USA you reside in, only if you the Writer are interested in visiting the film set/s during production but not required

    Whomever I book / hire to write the Script for my new movie even though we'll both be brainstorming together, this Writer will get full credit as the Writer plus, Hisle Films will pay for the Copyright and the WGAW of this Script which will only reflect the Writers name as the Writer

    The content will be used to bring glory to the Father and His Kingdom first and foremost / Win lost souls for Jesus / Entertain because it is a movie

    The Writer will have at least a minimum of 5 years experience [or more], real hands on, real world, verifiable proof writing both short and feature movie Scripts, will have experience using MS Word / Adobe Reader and Google Docs, will have experience listening to the Director [that's me] verbalize this new movie idea remotely over video (WhatsApp or FaceTime) and the Writer will dictate and turn dictation into movie Script little by little

    *** (If you only provide one-liners such as: “I’m interested” or, negative / rude comments, then no need for you to apply because that tells me you’re not really interested, you don’t follow direction and I’m just going to ignore and delete your correspondence anyway)

    *** (Do not send me your scripts. If you’re planning to anyway, then no reason for you to apply because this tells me you don’t follow direction)

    *** (If you’re prideful in thinking you walk on water and I should hire you without giving others a chance, then no reason for you to apply)

    Do not give up your day job because this position is not meant to supplement your income. It's not a part time job and it's not long term. In fact (and I'm just being honest), during the script writing process, there is no current budget. I don't even have a budget to pay myself. This position is part of the professional entertainment industry, on the Christian / Faith Based Indie Filmmaking side. If you know anything about the professional indie film industry (both secular and faith based), it's a roll of the dice, it's hit or miss, all indie filmmakers have to raise their own funds, it's hoping you'll get "that one big break" some day while you're "trying to make it" so, it's not for everyone but, it is for those like myself and that one Writer who understands because it's a passion of love. However, once the script is complete and after it's won various awards through the Film Festivals, prior or during the Production phase (actually filming the movie), Hisle Films will be raising funds so as to compensate appropriately (but again, there's no guarantees when it comes to making any indie movie) - It'll sure look good on your resume though

    Project length will be 2 hours / 120 pages / not counting the title page or ending credits

    Target Audience will be lost souls for Jesus and everyone who loves to be entertained by movies

  • "Yes, Jesus Knows the Difference... But Does Your Child?"
    Every autumn, a familiar meme makes its rounds across Christian social media feeds, offering a comforting defense for seasonal participation. The sentiment goes something like this: “Relax, Jesus knows the difference between your child in a pumpkin costume and Satan.”

    It’s a clever line designed to soothe the conscience. It leans entirely on the omniscience of Christ—the comforting truth that God looks upon the heart and isn't confused by a plastic mask, an orange bucket, or a cute little stem hat.

    True. The Lord is omniscient. He is never deceived.

    But that viral post misses the most critical, sobering question of all: Does your child know the difference?

    Spiritual formation in the formative years does not happen by abstract theological theory; it happens through association, imagery, and practice. When we dress our children up to mimic themes of darkness, ghosts, ghouls, and death—even under the heavy whitewash of "harmless fun"—what are we actually engraving upon their developing consciences?

    Children do not parse complex nuances about "harmless intent." They learn by imitation. If we teach them that stepping into the aesthetics of darkness is just a game, we actively dull their spiritual discernment. We blur the exact boundary lines that God commands us to keep bright and distinct.

    We cannot expect a child to grow up hating the works of darkness if we spend their youth dressing them up to look like them. Grace is not given to cover our intentional compromises with the world; it is given to empower us to walk as children of light.

    Let's stop leaning on God's grace to excuse a cultural tradition, and start taking seriously the duty to train our little ones to cleave strictly to what is holy.

    “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” (Ephesians 5:11)

    “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6)

If we teach them that stepping into the aesthetics of darkness is just a game, we actively dull their spiritual discernment. We blur the exact boundary lines that God commands us to keep bright and distinct. We cannot expect a child to grow up hating the works of darkness if we spend their youth dressing them up to look like them. Grace is not given to cover our intentional compromises with the world; it is given to empower us to walk as children of light. Let's stop leaning on God's grace to excuse a cultural tradition, and start taking seriously the duty to train our little ones to cleave strictly to what is holy. “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” (Ephesians 5:11) “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6) #DefenceOfTheTruth #FaithInAction #SpiritualDiscernment #TrainUpAChild #SetApart

  • SPIRITUAL AGE IS NOT THE SAME AS SPIRITUAL MATURITY

    Going On to Spiritual Maturity | Part 2
    Scripture Focus: Hebrews 5:12–14

    “For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God.”
    Hebrews 5:12, NKJV

    Yesterday, in Part 1, we looked at the warning of Hebrews 5:11: “You have become dull of hearing.”

    Today, the writer takes us one step deeper. He shows us what happens when our spiritual hearing dulls.

    Growth stops.

    And here we discover an important truth:

    Spiritual age is not the same thing as spiritual maturity.

    A person can have been saved for many years and still remain spiritually immature. Time gives us opportunities to mature, but it does not produce maturity.

    Hebrews makes this very clear.

    “BY THIS TIME YOU OUGHT TO BE TEACHERS”

    Those words are important:

    “By this time...”

    The writer expected progress.

    These believers had been exposed to the truth long enough that they should have been able to help teach others. Instead, they needed someone to teach them the foundational truths again.

    This does not mean every Christian must stand behind a pulpit.

    Teaching can happen around a kitchen table. It can happen between a father and his children, between two friends, in a Bible study, or when one believer helps another understand God's Word.

    The principle is spiritual reproduction.

    What God has taught us should eventually become something we are capable of passing on to somebody else.

    Paul told Timothy:

    “And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.”
    2 Timothy 2:2

    Look at the progression:

    Paul → Timothy → faithful men → others.

    That is discipleship.

    Mature believers do not merely consume truth. Eventually, they become capable of sharing truth, demonstrating truth, and helping others grow in truth.

    MILK IS GOOD, BUT WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO LIVE ON IT FOREVER

    Hebrews continues:

    “And you have come to need milk and not solid food.”
    Hebrews 5:12, NKJV

    There is nothing wrong with milk.

    Peter actually tells newborn believers:

    “As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby.”
    1 Peter 2:2

    Milk is necessary at the beginning.

    The problem is not drinking milk.

    The problem is never progressing beyond it.

    Think about physical development. We celebrate when a baby drinks milk. But if twenty years later that person can still digest nothing but milk, we know something has gone wrong.

    The same principle applies spiritually.

    There are foundational truths every Christian must understand. Salvation by grace. Repentance. Faith toward God. Baptism. Resurrection. Eternal judgment. Our identity in Christ.

    These foundations are essential.

    But a foundation is meant to have something built upon it.

    That is exactly where Hebrews is taking us.

    MATURITY REQUIRES PRACTICE

    Hebrews 5:14 gives us one of the clearest descriptions of spiritual maturity in the New Testament:

    “But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”

    Notice what maturity is connected to.

    Not simply knowledge.

    Not simply time.

    Not simply church attendance.

    It is connected to:

    “By reason of use.”

    The Greek word behind “exercised” is gymnazō. It carries the idea of training or exercising through disciplined practice. It is where we get our English word gymnasium.

    That gives us a powerful picture.

    Spiritual discernment must be trained.

    We hear the Word.

    We receive the Word.

    We obey the Word.

    We practice the Word.

    And through repeated use, our spiritual senses become increasingly trained to recognize what agrees with God's truth and what does not.

    That connects directly with James:

    “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”
    James 1:22

    Yesterday we talked about hearing.

    Today we see what hearing is supposed to produce.

    Practice.

    And practice produces maturity.

    INFORMATION IS NOT TRANSFORMATION

    This is where we need to examine ourselves carefully.

    It is possible to know Bible verses and remain immature.

    It is possible to listen to sermons for decades and remain immature.

    It is possible to understand doctrine intellectually while never allowing that doctrine to govern our attitudes, relationships, decisions, words, and conduct.

    Paul told the Corinthians:

    “I... could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.”
    1 Corinthians 3:1

    They possessed spiritual gifts. They had knowledge. Yet Paul still described them as babes.

    Why?

    Their lives were still marked by envy, strife, and division.

    That tells us something important.

    Spiritual maturity is not measured merely by what we know. It is revealed by what the truth has produced in us.

    Are we becoming more like Christ?

    Are we walking in love?

    Are we learning obedience?

    Are we becoming faithful?

    Can we receive correction?

    Can we distinguish good from evil?

    Can we stand firmly when culture contradicts Scripture?

    Can we help another believer grow?

    These are marks of maturity.

    GOD IS CALLING US FORWARD

    This teaching is not meant to condemn believers who are still growing.

    We are all growing.

    Paul himself said:

    “Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on...”
    Philippians 3:12

    The issue is not whether we have arrived.

    The question is:

    Are we progressing?

    That is where tomorrow's teaching becomes so important.

    Hebrews does not simply tell us that we should mature. It tells us what to do next:

    “Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection [maturity]...”
    Hebrews 6:1

    There is movement in those words.

    Let us go on.

    God does not want us living forever on yesterday's revelation, yesterday's obedience, or yesterday's spiritual experience.

    There is more to learn.

    More character to develop.

    More truth to practice.

    More discernment to exercise.

    More of Christ to know.

    You may have walked with God for many years, but spiritual age is not the same as spiritual maturity.

    The real question is not:

    “How long have I been a Christian?”

    The better question is:

    “How much has Christ formed His character, His truth, and His ways in me?”

    Scripture Trail for Deeper Study

    Prayer

    Father, thank You for every truth You have taught me. But Lord, do not allow me to become satisfied merely because I have known You for many years. Help me grow. Teach me to take Your Word beyond hearing and put it into practice. Exercise my spiritual senses through Your truth. Give me discernment to recognize good and evil, humility to receive correction, and faithfulness to pass Your truth to others. Form the character of Christ in me, and by Your grace, lead me onward into spiritual maturity. In Jesus' name, Amen.

  • DAILY GOSPEL — DAY 13

    PRAY WITHOUT CEASING

    1 Thessalonians 5:17 KJV

    “Pray without ceasing.”

    UNDERSTANDING THE WORD

    Three simple words.

    Yet they describe something incredibly important about our relationship with God.

    “Pray without ceasing.”

    Paul is not telling Christians that we must spend every moment of every day with our eyes closed and our heads bowed.

    He is describing a life that remains continually turned toward God.

    Prayer should not be something we only remember when life becomes difficult.

    It should become part of the daily rhythm of walking with the Lord.

    In the surrounding verses Paul writes:

    “Rejoice evermore.

    Pray without ceasing.

    In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
    — 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 KJV

    Rejoicing.

    Praying.

    Giving thanks.

    These are not meant only for easy days.

    They are part of the Christian life in every season.

    THE GOSPEL

    Prayer is possible because through Jesus Christ we can approach God.

    Sin separated humanity from God, but Christ came to reconcile sinners to Him.

    Jesus gave Himself on the cross and rose again.

    Those who belong to Christ are not approaching a distant God who does not care about them.

    Scripture tells us:

    “For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.”
    — Ephesians 2:18 KJV

    Through Christ, we have access to the Father.

    That means prayer is much more than simply asking God for things.

    Prayer is part of our relationship with Him.

    We worship Him.

    We thank Him.

    We confess our sins.

    We bring Him our fears.

    We ask for wisdom.

    We pray for others.

    And we bring our needs before Him.

    A LIFE OF PRAYER

    Yesterday we looked at God's command to Joshua:

    “Be strong and of a good courage…”

    But where do we turn when we don't feel strong?

    We turn to God.

    Prayer reminds us that we were never meant to carry life entirely in our own strength.

    There may be moments when you pray for a long time.

    But there can also be simple prayers throughout an ordinary day.

    “Lord, give me wisdom.”

    “Lord, help me.”

    “Lord, forgive me.”

    “Lord, guide me.”

    “Lord, thank You.”

    “Lord, help me honour You in this decision.”

    Prayer can become the continual turning of our hearts toward God.

    Before an important decision — pray.

    When temptation comes — pray.

    When someone needs help — pray.

    When something good happens — give thanks.

    When fear rises — pray.

    When you sin — confess it to God.

    When you don't know what to say — come before Him anyway.

    You do not need perfect words.

    Jesus taught:

    “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.”
    — Matthew 6:7 KJV

    Prayer is not about impressing God with our words.

    It is about sincerely seeking Him.

    KEEP TURNING TO GOD

    Sometimes we pray and receive an answer quickly.

    Sometimes we pray and have to wait.

    Sometimes God's answer is different from what we hoped for.

    “Pray without ceasing” reminds us not to abandon prayer simply because the answer has not yet come.

    Keep seeking God.

    Keep bringing your concerns before Him.

    Keep thanking Him.

    Keep trusting Him.

    And keep praying.

    Not because prayer guarantees that every circumstance will unfold exactly as we want...

    but because our confidence is in the God to whom we pray.

    PRAYER

    Father, thank You that through Jesus Christ I can come before You in prayer.

    Teach me not to seek You only when life becomes difficult.

    Help prayer become a natural part of my daily walk with You.

    When I am worried, remind me to pray.

    When I need wisdom, remind me to pray.

    When I am blessed, remind me to give thanks.

    When I sin, give me a heart that quickly turns back to You.

    When answers seem delayed, help me continue trusting You.

    Teach me to seek You throughout every part of my day and to depend upon You rather than myself.

    In Jesus’ name, Amen.

    REFLECTION

    What place does prayer currently have in your everyday life?

    Do you mainly turn to God when something goes wrong, or are you learning to speak with Him throughout your day?

    Choose one ordinary part of your daily routine today and use it as a reminder to pray.

  • YOU HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO SERVE GOD

    In Luke 19, the servants were each given one mina. The point is that each of them received the same thing. That is important because it speaks about something that all Christians have. The Holy Spirit.

    In another account, Matthew 25, one was given one, another two and another five. That was not equal because it was speaking about something different. But in Luke 19, they were each given the same mina.

    The Holy Spirit is what every Christian has received. And what you do with what has been given to you is up to you.

    Jesus said, “You shall receive power” — DUNAMIS — “when The Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses.”

    So you have enough power to be a witness.

    You have enough power to share God's Word. You have enough power to tell people things. You have enough power to lead multiple people to Christ daily.

    You do not need a platform. It is inside you. The issue is usage.

    One of the things that became increasingly serious to me as the years went by was realizing that you can have grace inside you and choose whether or not to use it for someone.

    Think about what that means. You may be able to help someone, but you can decide not to. You may have something God has given you that could be used to serve another person, but if you refuse to use it, that person does not receive what you could have given.

    That is why you must stop looking at yourself as though you have nothing.

    You have been given something. You have The Holy Spirit. You have power to serve God.

    You have opportunities to share God's Word, to witness and to minister to people. But you have to use what you have been given.

    You cannot keep waiting for a platform before you serve God. You cannot keep thinking that you need to become known everywhere before you can be useful.

    The power is already inside you. The question is what you are going to do with it.

    Shalom!
