Powerful Evangelism

Hi love ones, just want to share the recipe of  powerful evangelism to you. The recipe of powerful evangelism are: personal testimony, personal lifestyle and proclamation. The other day Pastor Jeff was sharing how Christianity seems like an attractive force to everyone of this world. It really dawned on me it is the fact  people of this world they are watching and longing to have what we have. Sometimes while people would make some comment such as "Christianity is not just a good people's club." Please read between the line!!! You are a Christian which means you have a mind of Christ and the goodness of the Lord. That's say some colleague offended you and the way you reacted was bitter and kept recording this person's wrong. What happen next? The bitterness of the tree grows so huge and you can never see God. Another case is, if you sinned against someone and then the seed of shame grows and grows to be so huge that you can't see God again. We all long for an intimate encounter with Jesus but if our personal lifestyle doesn't correspond of whom we believe in, how can we go around to persuade people our God is a good God.

Evangelism can occur anywhere you want if you want to. Please don't limit it just on a treasure hunt mission. If you are sitting in your office, your classroom or starbucks now, please look around you. Those people are your treasures. God is saying to you those people are my people, go ahead and show them the way I love you. I believe every single one of us are chosen to hold the key to people's heart and we are blessed to have a chance to see how God is moving and touching people's heart.

Walking with Jesus is not just an one day thing, it is a long-distance marathon for every single one of us which means day in and day out we are encountering the spiritual warfare. I love the idea of how pastor David shares about we need to lay our own old Adam and put on the second Adam everyday. How exactly could we do this?? Very simple! When you get up, you can think about what kind of sinful nature you want to get rid of and imagine yourself taking off that dirty shirt and give it all to God and then God is handing you a new and delicate royal evening gown for you to put on. You are representing a royalty, you are a chosen race and a holy nation, you are an ambassador for Christ because you represent the leader of the Kingdom. I love the idea of ambassador immunity. Ambassador immunity means if you are an ambassador of the receiving nation, the law the obligation of the receiving nation doesn't apply to you at all. You are immune by the standard of this world because you are representing the Kingdom. You oldself was dead while JC was crucified for you and you were dead with Him and resurrected with Him again. Your body is not for you to satisfy your own purpose anymore. You have Jesus in your heart, how you see people not as my friends, my colleague, starbucks clerks. You see them as the way Jesus sees them, you embrace them as Jesus embrace them, you love them as Jesus love them. Because those people are YOUR CHILDREN NOW!!!
