Introduction
ОглавлениеFor years I have hidden behind doing church work, and not doing God's work, and yes, there is a difference. You see church work is the work you do when nobody else can or will do, so you are just assigned to it because of your talent, gift, or you are only willing. You can sometimes be faced with being the one person doing all the work. But guess what? The benefit of doing church work is the praise you get by the people and the pastor for your loyalty and commitment to the church organization. There is a big difference between loyalty to the church, and faithful to GodI'll be honest with you I didn't want to get stuck doing the same thing for 40 years and not really stepping out to see what God can really do. I have seen people get frustrated in the church because it has become too much of a routine. At the end of the day, when Sunday is over, you still have Monday thru Saturday to impact people outside of the church, outside of your comfort zone.
This book Dare to Be Bold began as a training curriculum for an evangelistic event I was running in August of 2019. I was actually writing a different book, but the Lord tugged on me to write this book. For one month, I stuck my face behind the computer and began writing and finished it in time for the August event. This is a practical guide to street ministry, for those who have a desire to step out and do what God called them to do in his word. I realize that you don't have to wait for the next prominent named prophet to tell you what already said in his word. No one is excluded from the great commission. You see, for too long we labored doing church work and called it God's work. Jesus told us to make disciples of nations, and we can't do that by only focusing on sounding good at the keyboard, and behind the microphone. What are you doing for the rest of the 6 days of the week?
This book will teach how to step out of your comfort zone and impact the lives of others. You will learn how to heal the sick, prophesy, and give words of knowledge. You will be able to use your testimony effectively to compel many to come to Christ. You will have daily exercises that will strengthen your spiritual muscles, which will allow you to become more effective as you speak to people in the market place. Dare to Be Bold is only a beginner's guide to launching out into the street ministry. I have tried to put together 5 years of experience on the street into one book. There're many details this book that can go deeper but would take a whole boot camp to cover. My prayer is that you get so fired up, that you began putting this knowledge into practice daily, and teach others how to do it as well. I Dare You to Be Bold!
