We Harvest what we Plant!

The big majority of young people everywhere are lost, there is no true security in this decrepit world. Only JESUS is the Truth and can give them true Peace. So Jesus needs all of YOU out there to reach out others, and we are praying for a Witnessing, Evangelisation Revolution for JESUS to take place wherever you are.

The time is so short now because of civil unrest and wars escalating around this corrupted world of man. Only what it's done for Christ will last forever! 

We must build our relationship with God our Father and Jesus our Lord through daily worship and prayer and Word meditation individually, and also have often fellowship with other born-again believers. 

But we should have it clear that this is not the goal. This is just the means for the goal of daily announcing the Gospel to everyone and winning the whole world for Jesus!

John 4:31-38
[31] Meanwhile, the disciples were urging Jesus, “Rabbi, eat something.” [32] But Jesus replied, “I have a kind of food you know nothing about.” [33] “Did someone bring him food while we were gone?” the disciples asked each other.
    [34] Then Jesus explained: “My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work. [35] You know the saying, ‘Four months between planting and harvest.’ But I say, wake up and look around. The fields are already ripe for harvest. [36] The harvesters are paid good wages, and the fruit they harvest is people brought to eternal life. What joy awaits both the planter and the harvester alike! [37] You know the saying, ‘One plants and another harvests.’ And it’s true. [38] I sent you to harvest where you didn’t plant; others had already done the work, and now you will get to gather the harvest.”

John the Baptist and his disciples did the planting during many years, so that Jesus and his disciples could do the harvesting. And they had to work hard for that in a daily basis.

But who does faithful planting of the true and complete Gospel nowadays? That's why we should work harder and do both in our present time. We should plant and harvest at the same time and at every opportunity to lead many to the Lord, so that they can enter God's Kingdom!

But we must make the time for it! Every believer should evaluate himself/herself if he/she is obeying Jesus' Words about our responsibility as born-again believers of loving God and following Jesus wholeheartedly every single day.

It’s not just about continuing to do what Jesus did and asked us to do. It’s also about being filled with God's Spirit so that everyone around us feels Jesus' compassionate love, and may know what He did for all of us and how much He had to pay to save us from sin and condemnation, by giving his life on the cross. Yes, it’s about Jesus literally taking control of our lives so that He in us can reach out and save the lost—all those who are slaves to the fear of death.

Matthew 28:18-20
[18] Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 

   [19] Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. [20] Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Mark 16:15-18
[15] And then Jesus told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. [16] Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. 

   [17] These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. [18] They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.”

Luke 24:47-48
[47] It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of his (Jesus) name to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’ [48] You are witnesses of all these things.

John 20:20-21
[20] As Jesus spoke, he showed them the wounds in his hands and his side. They were filled with joy when they saw the Lord! [21] Again he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” 

Acts of the Apostles 2:36-39
[36] “So let everyone in Israel know for certain that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, to be both Lord and Messiah!” 

   [37] Peter’s words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?” 

   [38] Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. [39] This promise is to you, to your children, and to those far away—all who have been called by the Lord our God.”

Our Life Is In God’s Hands

We are living in some quite turbulent times now, when believers should evaluate their level of faith and obedience to God's Word. 

We can feel the winds of persecution and tribulation approaching fast and coming very soon against the true followers of Jesus Christ, in the Western world in particular. And surely many Christians will be worrying about it, if their faith is not grounded in God's powerful, life-giving Word.

But why worry about the coming worldwide persecution because of our faith, and even about dying for the name of Jesus and the Gospel's sake? In fact, we shouldn't fear, because this is what we pledged and committed to, when we gave our life to our Lord and Saviour. He bought us with his holy Blood, and we now belong to Him completely. And because of this, our time of passing away is in his hands!

According to the Scriptures, the Lord will let us know when will be the time of our departure from our present body to a heavenly realm, so that we don't need to worry in advance.

Jesus admonished us saying: 

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. 

"When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes. 

"But when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit of your Father." (Mathew 6:34; 10:23; Mark 13:11) 

Since the beginning of Jesus' ministry, the Jews were ready to throw Him down a hill; at other times they wanted to stone Him or take Him. But each time He managed to walk through them and escaped because it was not his time to die and go yet. 

The apostle Paul was warned by the Holy Spirit in every city he passed through, that he shouldn't go to Jerusalem because persecution awaited him there. But he answered the brethren saying: "What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus!" (Acts 21:13)

But Paul's time didn't arrived yet to meet the Lord. There was still work for him to do. Because later on the Lord reassured him saying: "Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome.” (Acts 23:11)

In a second letter to Timothy, Paul let him know that his time to pass away was near when he said: 

"For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.  I have fought a good fight, I have finished my race, I have kept the faith: Finally, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me at that Day: and not to me only, but also to all who love his appearing." (2Timothy 4:6-8)

The apostle Peter also mentioned about his departure: 

“For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth. Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent (body) to stir you up by reminding you, knowing that shortly I must put off my tent (body) just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease (death)." (2Peter 1:12-15)

No matter what will happen to us, the Lord wants us to be a WITNESS to this dying generation and He wants us also to REJOICE in persecutions, because we are partakers of Christ's sufferings and our names are written in the Book of Life. Hallelujah! 

When the apostles were beaten for preaching Jesus, "they feared greatly and stopped preaching..." REALLY? 

Let's see what the apostles did after they were beaten 

"And when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. And they departed from the presence of the council, REJOICING that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. And DAILY in the temple, and in every house, they CEASED NOT to teach and preach Jesus Christ." (Acts 5:40-42) Hallelujah!

Jesus said in the powerful and marvellous book of Revelation:

“He who OVERCOMES shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will CONFESS his name before My Father and before His angels.

"Because you have KEPT My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your CROWN (glorious body). He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.” (Revelation 3:5, 10-12, 20-21 )

(Prayer:) 'Thank you, Father, and thank you, Jesus, for your precious promises! Thank you for helping us to keep our eyes in you. We rejoice that we are part of your Kingdom and that you have a perfect plan for each of your children. We rest in you. Our desire is to do your will and be faithful each day, one day at a time until this blessed Day when we will meet. Hallelujah! Glory to you!'

"Come Out From Among Them & Be Separate!"

We are entering in very difficult and dangerous, but exciting times. In fact, the church is going to be divided in two factions between:  1) those who compromise and ignore the Word of God, being solely interested in following the lukewarm and worldly ecumenical, established Christian church;  and 2) those who are outside of all human hierarchy, and wholeheartedly follow and obey the Lord Jesus and the truth of God's Word, who really love each other and work together and sacrifice themselves to advance the Kingdom.

The Bible exhort us:  "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: 'I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.' Therefore 'Come out from among them and be separate [from all ECCLESIASTIC PYRAMIDAL STRUCTURE], says the Lord God. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.' 'I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord God Almighty.'" (2Corinthians 6:14-18)

We are separated, thank God, from all pyramidal, ecclesiastical structure of man for several years now. We are only part of the body of Christ, the true spiritual church made up of faithful living stones--the family of God! (See 1Corinthians 3:1-17; Ephesians 2:11-22; 1Peter 1:1-10.)

We are committed to obey and follow our Lord Jesus and his Word, proclaiming  to every person the Gospel of redemption of the soul from sin, through his sacrifice and resurrection; and also equipping new disciples for God's service. (See Acts chapter 2; 2Corinthians 5:14-21.) 

Naturally, the devil doesn't like the fact that we are Bible fundamentalist and active disciples of Jesus Christ, who bear witness of the faith continuously and openly.  And of course the opposition and persecution are guaranteed at any time. (See John 15:18-27; 2Timothy 3:10-17; Jude 3-4,16-25.)

Jesus warned us:  "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:9-14)

The apostles John and Paul made it clear in the letters that there are many deceiving antichrists who have come from the congregation of faith; and that the greatest deceiver, the Antichrist, was about to come one day to declare himself as "Christ" and "God" of this world. (See 2Thessalonians 2:1-4.)

“Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. (1John 2:18-19)

After studying the Word of God on Bible prophecy for several years, we believe that the Antichrist currently knows very well that his world ecumenical alliance will not be well received and respected for a long time by all, for instance, by the radical fundamentalist Muslims.

Because of this, the 'man of sin' is engineering behind the scenes a sinister plan to break the ecumenical pact between religions at any given time. He will convince everyone that he is the true "Christ" and "Saviour", who solves all the problems of the world, proclaiming himself as the world leader and even "God". (See Daniel 8:23-25; 9:27; 11:28-45; 2Thessalonians 2:3-4; Revelation 13:3-10; chapter 17.)

He will force all humans to worship him (the Beast) and the devil (the Dragon), with the help of the False Prophet. This one will deceive the whole world by performing false miracles, and will introduce the Abomination of Desolation (or Mark of the Beast). This appears to be a high-tech microchip inserted into the human body of everyone who worships the Antichrist, to be able to buy or sell.  In this way, every human being will be controlled by this sinister totalitarian regime. (See Revelation chapter 13.)

Of course, our King Jesus will come just after the great tribulation that will last three and a half years, to rescue his own and destroy the wicked men and rule over the whole Earth with righteousness. Praise God! Hallelujah! (See Daniel 7:7-14; Matthew 24:15-31; Mark 13:14-27; Revelation 6:12-17; 14:14-20; 19:11-21; 20:1-6.)

Here is a question we should all ask:  "Am I a lukewarm Christian simply following the structure of the passive and compromising Christian church, based on worship services and on teachings and traditions of men?  Or am I a vibrant disciple of Jesus Christ, ready to even give my life for proclaiming his name and the Gospel to the lost at every opportunity?"

 We pray that many will be found true disciples of Jesus, who love and serve God actively and sincerely and without compromise; and who are ready to suffer shame, persecution, deprivation, anguish, pain and even death, to openly proclaim the Gospel of Jesus, the true Christ and Lord and Son of God! (See Mark 8:34-38; 16:15-20; Philippians 3:7-21; 2Timothy 2:1-13; chapter 3; 4:1-8; James 1:2-4,12; 1Peter 1:3-9; 4:12-19.)

"And calling the crowd and his disciples, Jesus said to them: 'If anyone wants to come after me, deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses  his life because of me and the gospel will save her. Well, what good is it for a man to win the whole world and lose his soul?  Well, what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.'" (Mark 8:34-38)

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: 'For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.' Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:35-39)

Get Out Of The Comfort & Preach The Gospel To The Lost!

 

The famous, Bible-fundamentalist preacher Charles Spurgeon once said to lukewarm, passive Christians, who don't faithfully share the gospel with others and don't have real passion to win souls for Jesus Christ:

"Have you NO WISH for others to BE SAVED? Then you're NOT SAVED [BORN AGAIN] yourself, be sure of that!"  

There is a big problem in the Christian church of today; and the problem is that the teachings are focused mostly on one's prosperity and comfort, instead of focusing on dying to one's reputation and wellbeing, and becoming KINGDOM MINDED. 

To be kingdom minded means that every believer and disciple should have a strong, compelling desire to SPREAD the Good News of salvation in Christ to every lost soul. This strong desire comes from a thankful heart for being redeemed, and from a compassionate heart to help the lost to find redemption too. In fact, many, many people today DIE DAILY without knowing Jesus' free gift of SALVATION, and are bound to be condemned to suffer eternal punishment after God's Judgement Day! (Read Revelation 20:11-15.)

The problem is that many believers today have come and been baptised in Christ without really knowing and understanding the HIGH COST of it, because of the prevalent easy-going, light gospel preached and lived in mainstream Christianity today.

Jesus said that we should count the COST of FORSAKING ALL, before we give our life to him: “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his OWN LIFE also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple...So likewise, whoever of you does not FORSAKE ALL that he has [anything that blocks him from fulfilling the great commission] cannot be My disciple.” (Luke 14:26-33)

God's Word clearly says that if we say that we ABIDE in Christ, we then must WALK as JESUS WALKED on Earth! Otherwise, we are not really followers of Jesus and we live in deception. (Read 1John 2:3-6). 

This is what Jesus was DOING every single day: “Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, TEACHING in their synagogues, PREACHING the gospel of the Kingdom everywhere, and HEALING every sickness and every disease among the people." (Matthew 9:35)

And this is what Jesus asked his DISCIPLES, after seeing the BIG HARVEST of souls in front of him: "But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with COMPASSION for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The HARVEST truly is plentiful, but the LABOURERS are so few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to SEND OUT many LABOURERS into His HARVEST.”” (Matthew 9:36-38)

In another occasion, Jesus said to his followers: “He who BELIEVES in Me, the WORKS [of preaching God's Kingdom and healing the sick] that I DO he WILL DO also; and greater WORKS [in number] than these he WILL DO, because I go to My Father.” (John 14:12)

JESUS said that we don't need to worry about our DAILY LIVING or needs, but just have the faith of a child to believe God's promises for our daily supply, providing that we PUT GOD's KINGDOM and his Righteousness FIRST every day! (Read Matthew 6:24-34 and Luke 12:13-34.)

The first disciples didn't receive the HOLY SPIRIT just to speak in tongues or prophesy, or to keep it for themselves. The main reason Jesus sent his Holy Spirit from heaven to his 120 faithful followers the day of Pentecost, is so that they would receive GOD'S POWER upon them, in order to have boldness and love and conviction to be a WITNESS and PREACH the GOSPEL everywhere around! (Read Acts 1:8; chapter 2; 4:23-31; 6:7-8; 8:1-8.)

So God's main purpose to send us his HOLY SPIRIT is so that we may also be a WITNESS and PREACH THE GOSPEL with real boldness and power to the LOST SOULS, everywhere and at every opportunity! 

Jesus warned us that "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘LORD, LORD,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who DOES the will of My Father in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21)

Jesus also made it very clear what is the PRICE for becoming a real follower/disciple of him, saying that: “Whoever desires to come after Me [be a disciple], let him deny himself [forsake his own reputation and will], and take up his cross [suffer shame and hardship and persecution], and follow Me [study my Word and obey my great commission of being a faithful witness]. For whoever desires to save his life will LOSE it, but whoever loses his life for FOLLOWING Me and PREACHING the gospel, will SAVE it.” (Mark 8:34-35)

So let's go on our knees and EXAMINE our heart, and our lifestyle and faith in Jesus, to see if it's deep and real and based on obedience to God's Word; or just shallow and apparent and based on just following traditions of the current lukewarm church--like going to church on Sundays to worship a bit and hear irrelevant sermons that just tickle people's ears and rarely transform lives.

The apostle Paul said: "EXAMINE yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed you are disqualified?" (2Corinthians 13:5)

"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.” (2Timothy 4:3-4)

We as believers must have it very clear that the GREAT COMMISSION was given to EVERY born-again child of God and disciple of Jesus, and not only to the ministerial body of the church. (Read Ephesians 4:11-16.)

So GET OUT of the comfort and be a faithful WITNESS and PREACH the Gospel to the LOST! You can start meeting lost souls in your own town, by going to the streets, or to McDonald's, or to a park, or to a shopping centre, or from house to house, or to any other place God shows you! 

And if you are a very busy person, then take every opportunity to be a WITNESS when shopping, or on the bus that takes you to work, or at your workplace, or when you take your kids to the playground. Where there is a WILL, there is always a WAY! (Read Matthew 5:10-16; 28:16-20; Mark 16:14-20; Luke 24:46-49.)

Where Did It Go The Fire Of The Early Church?

 

Did just God send Jesus his Son to suffer and die to set us free from the curse and dominion of sin, so that we would have a prospered, problem-free life, and be passive Christians who just attend weekly church services, and even some evangelistic seminars and events from time to time? Is the current WESTERN CHURCH really following the New Testament standard and model of the EARLY CHURCH? 

We must remember that the disciples of the Early Church were continually filled of God's Spirit and very united in spirit, helping each other and even living together as a family, to advance the Kingdom very rapidly and with all boldness and signs and miracles, in the middle of strong opposition and persecution. (Acts 2:42-47; 4:23-37.)

They were constantly guided by the Holy Spirit and going from places to places to spread the Gospel, without any need of asking permission to a leader or "man with authority" who normally belongs to a pyramidal structure of controlling leadership and rigid programs, like we sadly see it in the present Western Church. In fact, that sort of "red tape" and bureaucracy would had easily and rapidly cool off the fiery faith and obedience and efforts of the Early Church to accomplish Jesus' important commission. (Acts chapters 1-14.)

CHURCH in Greek ('Ecclesia') means "THE CALLED OUT", and not a building or even a place where believers meet together regularly. Real CHURCH is formed of LIVING STONES of active, faithful disciples who are constantly in close  fellowship with God and other fellow disciples, and who continually obey the great commission of proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every creature, at all times and places! (1Peter 2:1-5; Mark 16:15-18.)

There is no church and church growth if first there are no disciples who are fully repented and filled with the fire of God's Holy Spirit and Word, consecrated to die daily to themselves and be on-fire witnesses who confess and proclaim Christ at every opportunity, with real boldness and fire! (Mark 8:34-38; Romans 10:6-18; 2Timothy 1:6-7; 2:1-13.)

Every fully born-again believer should be a faithful, loving disciple who invests most of his/her time and efforts and resources to be a witness for Jesus at every opportunity, at the same time that has an intimate relationship with God and Jesus, for personal edification by praying in the Holy Spirit, and for the renewing of the mind by meditating on the Holy Word. (Acts chapter 8; James 1:17-27; 2:14-26; Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 6:10-18; 2Thessalonians 2:13-17; 1John 1:1-3; Jude 20-21.)

JESUS didn't suffer and die just to save souls who just live for themselves and sit around and do nothing or very little for the Kingdom, just waiting for Jesus to come back one day. JESUS died to save souls who, out of a thankful heart, are eager to deny and die to themselves, are willing to suffer shame and persecution for the gospel's sake, and obey Him by constantly sharing the good news of freedom of God's Kingdom, and healing and freeing those who are lost and are longing and searching for real, everlasting freedom. (Mark 8:34-38; 2Corinthians 5:14-21.)

The two GREATEST COMMANDMENTS that Jesus quoted are to love God with all our hearts and our neighbour as ourselves. Putting these two commandments into effect should be the main focus of our faith. (Matthew 22:34-40; Mark 12:28-34; Luke 10:25-37.)

For that, we should put God first in our life, and obey his commandment and will, just out of gratitude and love for Him, as Jesus did on Earth, which is to really WORK in God's harvest to ADVANCE God's Kingdom rapidly, by going out to proclaim the good news of redemption of mankind and reconciliation to God, through the shedding of the holy blood of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 9:35-38; Luke 10:1-2; Romans 5:6-11.)

Jesus commanded his disciples to GO and MAKE DISCIPLES of all nations, teaching them the truth of the gospel, which is the power unto salvation. That means that we also must be active witnesses who faithfully and openly proclaim the GOOD NEWS of repentance to God and forgiveness of sins in Christ and the Holy Spirit's inflow, at the same time that we heal the sick and free the oppressed in the name of Jesus, with real love and boldness! (Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 24:44-53; Acts 2:38-39; 5:30-32; Romans 1:16-17.)

We must pray and ask God to help us to forget ourselves  and our reputation and our own plans, and even our own personal desires of pursuing a carrier or a well-paid job, and also to get out of our daily well-being and comfort-zone. Second, we must pray for real hunger for God's Word and Spirit, as well as for love for Him and for the brethren in Christ and for the lost souls. Third, we must turn away and drop all false doctrines of men and traditions of the current Western Church, and start studying God's Word methodically and in its full context, through the direct teaching and revelation of God's Holy Spirit. Fourth, we must gather and unite with other disciples, with the idea to edify each other, and even live and work together to advance the Kingdom. And fifth, we must ask God to give us a broken heart to love those around, and be Jesus for others at all times and places--bringing Him and God our Father in all our conversations with others, and making Them both the centre of our life in whatever we say or do.

We must go back and live the foundational principles of the truth of God's Word, like the Early Church did in the past--focusing only in loving and serving God by faithfully doing Jesus' Great Commission! This is the only way for real REVIVAL to appear, when the church becomes KINGDOM MINDED and just focuses on sowing and reaping the GREAT HARVEST of lost potential disciples, who are READY and awaiting to enter in God's Heavenly Kingdom. There is no time to waste!

JESUS said: “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not DO what I say? Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only the one who DOES the will of my Father who is in Heaven.” (Luke 6:46; Matthew 7:21) "'My food is to DO the will of God Who sent Me and to accomplish and completely finish His WORK. Do you not say, 'It is still four months until harvest time comes?' Look! I tell you, raise your eyes and observe the fields [full of potential disciples] and see how they are already white for HARVESTING." (John 4:34-36) “THEN JESUS called his twelve disciples and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. And He sent them out to ANNOUNCE the kingdom of God and to HEAL sicknesses. And departing, they went about from village to village, PREACHING the Gospel and RESTORING the afflicted to health everywhere.” (Luke 9:1-2,6) "NOW AFTER this the Lord chose and appointed seventy other DISCIPLES and sent them out ahead of Him, two by two, into every town and place where He Himself was about to come. And He said to them, 'The harvest [of lost potential disciples] indeed is abundant, but the LABOURERS are so few. Pray therefore the Lord God of the harvest to send out many LABOURERS into His harvest. Whenever you GO into a town and they receive and accept and welcome you, eat what is set before you; And HEAL the sick in it and SAY to them, The kingdom of God has come close to you.'" (Luke 10:1-2,8-9)

“I assure you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me (Jesus), he will himself be able to DO the same things that I do; and he will do even greater things in number than these, because I go to the Father.”

John 14:12 

“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and curing all kinds of disease and every weakness and infirmity. 

When He saw the multitude, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were bewildered (harassed and distressed and dejected and helpless), like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, 'The harvest [of lost potential disciples] is indeed plentiful, but the LABOURERS are so few. So pray to the Lord of the harvest to force out and thrust many LABOURERS into His harvest.”

Matthew 9:35-38

"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your GOOD WORKS and glorify your Father in heaven."

Matthew 5:14-16

"For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do GOOD WORKS, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Ephesians 2:10

“How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone PREACHING to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!””

Romans 10:14-15
