When impressed to do ministry and given the opportunity to reach out and witness of the goodness, graciousness and glories of God in his son Jesus Christ, I feel immediately a wellspring of emotion growing up inside that wants to spill forth solution and gospel to the hearer. However, this emotion reminds me of the energy of God that is required to move a person from unbelief and unrepentenance to faith and repentance leading to salvation. I feel thrown back upon God the giver of good things. He alone can effect the change in the soul of the unbeliever. In evangelism we are wholly dependent upon him. Unless he draws who can come? Who can be saved? With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. Prayer aligns the heart and exhorts God to fulfill his desire that all come to know him. That God would move in a mighty way in hearts all across the globe.
I am overcome with emotion. I throw myself upon the Almighty. He throws me back into the ministry believing that he will do a mighty work; and that mighty work is recovering the lost sheep through the exaltation of Jesus Christ, in whom the fullness of the deity dwells in bodily form. Amen and amen.
