Do The Work Of An Evangelist, Fulfill Your Ministry

To each one of Us, Grace was given according to The Measure of Christ’s Gift.  And He (Jesus Christ) Himself gave, some to be Apostles, some Prophets, some Evangelists, and some Pastors and Teachers, for the Equipping of The Saints (Believers) for The Work of Ministry, for the Edifying of The Body of Christ, till We All come to The Unity of The Faith and of The Knowledge of The Son of God, to a Perfect Man, to The Measure of The Stature of The Fullness of Christ; that We should no longer be children (tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting), but, Speaking The Truth in Love, may grow up in All Things into Him Who is The Head, Christ, from whom The Whole Body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes Growth of The Body for the Edifying of itself, in Love.

I charge YOU therefore before God and The Lord Jesus Christ, who will Judge The Living and The Dead, at His Appearing and His Kingdom:  Preach The Word!  Be ready in season and out of season.  Convince, Rebuke, Exhort, with all longsuffering and Teaching.  For the Time will come, when they will NOT endure Sound Doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from The Truth, and be turned aside to fables.  But YOU be Watchful in All Things, endure afflictions, do The Work of an Evangelist, fulfill Your Ministry.

Did YOU realize, this means YOU, yes YOU, Preach The Gospel of Jesus Christ, at every single opportunity.  Stand with God Almighty, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit, Always, and They will Always, Stand with YOU!  YOU say, I don’t have what it takes, right?  Well, YOU have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, right!  This means, YOU have a personal relationship with God Almighty, YOU have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ abides within YOU, through The Holy Spirit, so YOU also have a personal relationship with The Holy Spirit, as well!  Therefore, God Almighty has your back, so put on The Full Armor of God Almighty!  Jesus Christ walks with YOU and stands right beside YOU, Always!  The Holy Spirit (The Helper) will give YOU the words to say, precisely at the moment YOU need them, Always!  What more could YOU possibly ask for?  YOU have God’s Word, The Holy Bible, as your textbook, your guide book, a Perfect Resource, use it, refer to it, read it often, because God Almighty will Speak to YOU, as YOU read, and I’m NOT just talking about the words that YOU read, but what He says to your heart!

Think back to the moment, YOU accepted Jesus Christ, as your personal Lord and Savior, and The Holy Spirit filled your body, yes, the moment Jesus Christ came to abide within YOU and YOU were overcome, with an overwhelming desire to serve The Lord God Almighty, remember that feeling, grab hold of it, and never, ever, let it go again!  This is the burning desire YOU need, to Preach The Gospel of Jesus Christ, with passion, compassion, a true yearning to give someone the same burning desire, which We each should have, when We awake each morning, even as We lay down to sleep each night!  After all, We want every single person, We encounter, to accept Jesus Christ as his/her personal Lord and Savior, so that at the end of his/her Earthly Life, he/she will be in God’s Immediate Presence, with Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, God’s Holy Angels, and all the rest of Our Fellow Believers (Children of God Almighty), Forever, for Eternity!

Preaching The Gospel of Jesus Christ, to Yet-To-Be-Believers and Unbelievers, should become as natural, as breathing in and out, but this will take some practice.  So, don’t be afraid to practice with Fellow Believers, until YOU are comfortable doing it.  Remember, The Holy Spirit will give YOU the words to say, precisely at the moment YOU need them!  Preaching The Gospel of Jesus Christ to Fellow Believers, is quite challenging, I know, but remember God Almighty reveals things to each of Us, that He wants Us to know, in that moment, sometimes it’s meant for Us, specifically, other times it’s definitely meant to be shared with everyone.

So, how will YOU know false teachers and false doctrine, YOU ask?  Well, The Holy Bible tells Us to “test the spirits”, meaning does their teaching have a Strong Biblical Foundation.  If they make statements, against Sound Doctrine, I can guarantee YOU, The Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, and God Almighty, will definitely let YOU know!  So, what do I mean by “against Sound Doctrine”, YOU ask?  Well, here are some examples:

“Jesus Christ was just a good man and good teacher.”  “The Holy Bible is just a nice Christian History Book, with no applicable relevance, in today’s World.”  “All I must do, is to be a good person and treat others the way I wish to be treated, and I when I die, God will welcome me into Heaven.”  “Well, I know I must first accept Jesus, but then I must perform lots of good deeds, then maybe I can enter Heaven, some day.”  “God’s Commandments and Statutes are simply guidelines.”  “The Four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) were four men’s perspective on Jesus Christ, but NOT necessarily, the actual Truth about Him (Jesus Christ).”  “The Old Testament of The Holy Bible was NOT necessarily written by the Authors, we give credit to for writing them.”  “The New Testament of The Holy Bible was NOT necessarily written by the Authors, we give credit to for writing them.”  “There are several ways to get into Heaven (into God’s Immediate Presence).”  “Jesus was a Prophet of God Almighty, like all the other Prophets before Him, but like them, He was ONLY a man.”  “The Holy Bible was NOT actually God Breathed or Inspired by God Almighty.”  “There are several levels of sin, many degrees of sin, some being more punishable than others.”  “YOU can lose Your Salvation.”

YOU may have heard someone say statements like: “I don’t want to read The Holy Bible, because if I find one error or lie, then it’s all a lie.”  “I’m NOT good enough, to get into Heaven.”  “When we die we just go into the ground anyhow, nothing more.”  YOU must prepare yourself to have a reply to these statements and others like them.  Allow Our Lord Jesus Christ to teach YOU, through The Helper (The Holy Spirit), remember, The Holy Spirit will give YOU the words to say, precisely at the moment YOU need them!

Preaching The Gospel of Jesus Christ, is for the preparation of Fellow Believers for The Work of Ministry, for the education of The Body of Christ, till We All come to The Unity of The Faith and of The Knowledge of The Son of God Almighty (Jesus Christ); Speaking The Truth in Love.  Preach The Word!  Convince, Rebuke, Encourage, and Teach others.  Therefore, each of YOU must do The Work of an Evangelist; fulfill Your Ministry, every day.  Amen.
