Читать книгу Relight the Fire! - Debra George - Страница 3

Born again as a young 20 year old college student as my Sister led me to Jesus in the living room of her home in Sugar Land, Texas; I immediately began to tell others about Christ. My Sister, Tena Ford, is a powerful soul winner. Every time I was with her, she was always leading someone to Jesus, handing out Gospel tracts and giving words of hope and encouragement. It wasn’t long before I was winning souls myself. Why? Because I got around another soul winner. When we get around someone who is winning souls, the fire and anointing that is on their life will begin to rub off on us and that’s exactly what happened to me.

Soul winning is addicting! Whether it’s a cashier at a department store, a fellow class mate, or a stranger walking down the street, I began to share God’s love wherever I went and He began to save the lost and hurting.

When I approach someone to witness to them, I always tell them that Jesus loves them. I then ask them if they have Jesus living in their heart……and then I ask the BIG QUESTION, “Are you sure you are going to Heaven?” Many times people respond with a “no” or “I don’t know” or “I sure hope so.” I then say, “Well let’s take care of that right now. Grab my hand and in 60 seconds or less, you will be sure that Jesus lives inside of you and that you are on your way to Heaven.” I rarely ever get turned down, but if I do, I keep on moving knowing that the seed of God’s love and His Word are planted in the heart of those we witness to. His Word never returns or comes back void. (Isaiah 55:11).

Marketplace ministry is one of the greatest ministries on earth. Jesus said in Mark 16:15 that we are to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. I believe what Jesus is saying to us today is that we are to go into OUR WORLD, the world we live in, the people we see each day and share God’s love with them.

Whether it’s the classmate who has a locker next to you, a co-worker, or your next-door neighbor, everyone needs Jesus!

Today wherever you are located geographically is the place where God wants to use you. I heard T. L. Osborne say one time that your hometown is the proofing ground for your ministry. There’s no accident that you live where you live, so let’s allow God to use us to the fullest right where we are!
