Isaiah 52:7
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
So how are we being witnesses? We each have gifts and talents that can be used to spread the gospel. We don't necessarily have to be in the ministry full-time, but all of us should be in the ministry some of the time. Ask God to show you how you can be a witness, and then be ready to obey when he answers! Here's today's boast:
I remember when the Lord gave me an idea for a magazine that would include sharing the gospel in various formats. I wasn't totally confident that I was hearing from the Lord, so I asked for confirmation. God does not always confirm in this particular manner, but this time he did.
I went to a church service which had guest speakers that evening. They ministered using the dramatic arts, and I enjoyed it immensely! That pleasure quickly turned to fear as the ministers instructed the congregation to sing to the Lord in our heavenly language. That would not have been so terrible, but they also challenged us to push aside our fleshly fears and come up to sing forth a message from the Lord if we felt led to do so.
Number one, I do not sing well. Number two, I was not keen on speaking or singing in tongues in front of people. Yet I felt compelled by the Lord to do so! Therefore, I laid aside my fears and went up. I trusted the Lord to fill my mouth, and He did.
When I was finished, I started to head to my seat when all of a sudden, the minister stopped me. He began sharing a message from God for me. I will not share it verbatim, but it involved the confirmation that I was going to be involved with a magazine that would share the gospel and that many testimonies would be shared in that magazine. Wow! Just what I needed to hear! God is sooo awesome!
