Praise God and Good Afternoon to you

Be Strong and have Courage

When I stop and consider what many other christians go through in our world, I would say that we have it pretty easy here in Canada and also in the United States. When it comes to sharing about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we have a great deal of freedom. There are countries that at the mention of the name of Jesus unless they renounce Him, they are continually tortured or killed or both. They do not have the freedom to speak out as we do. They cannot freely carry a bible with them. And yet everyday they risk their lives and share the gospel anyway. So whats wrong with us, why aren't we out there sharing the Love of Jesus. Its time for us to stand up and be strong for our Lord and have the courage as they do share the gospel and live the way we should for Jesus. For it costs us little here compared to the price they pay, or the price Jesus paided.

Joshua 1:9  Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Pray for the boldness and the courage to share the gospel with those that are perishing. I sure dont put myself up on a pedistal, by any means. I admit there are times when I am intimidated by someone and I step back, but for the most when God opens a door, I walk through it. I asked God for boldness and praise His name.  He gave me the boldness that I asked for.  He will do the same for you. I love to share the gospel. I get talked about and ridiculed. I am sure i will be ridiculed for this message. But so what, thats a small price to pay when it comes to someones soul. It is not meant to belittle anybody but to stress the importance of getting the message of Christs' plan of salvation out before its to late for some that are perishing. The bible is Gods word and when it is spoken, it does not return to Him void.

Isaiah 55:11  So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

There's souls at stake people its up to us that know Jesus to get out there and share. Its the great commission.

Mark 16:16  " Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned."

Maybe dedicate your blog to the Lord, it will go out into all the world. Let that be the start that you need to share. Or tell your neighbor, or your friend, tell a stranger. We need to start somewhere. Your boldness will grow as you share. I gaurentee it because God is faithful, and its what He told us to do. Maybe this message is somewhat strong for you, but Jesus didnt pussyfoot around, He never stopped sharing salvation, even to His death. Now its our turn. Amen ?? God Loves You

Love in Christ and Lord bless
