Believers are anointed. God needs His believers to hit the pavement and share the Good News. What does His word tell us to do?
We are all called to be witnesses for Yeshua our Messiah, whether we feel qualified or not. Scripture tells us that believers are anointed and that God needs “Boots On the Ground” sharing the Good News. It can be scary venturing out into the world to evangelize, but remember that you are never alone – God is always with you. He will give you the strength and wisdom you need to reach others for Him. So don’t be afraid to take that first step of faith today!
Go into all the world and share the Good News
God calls us to go into all the world and share the heartbeat of God’s Good News. He often chooses the least likely, least qualified to further His Kingdom. Look at the story of Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David to name a few. We then see this trust displayed in God’s choice to bring salvation through a baby born of humble origins, His one and only son, Yeshua our Messiah. God created us to serve Him and worship Him. He desires for all of us to let Him speak through us; we are vessels for God’s glory. Our Heavenly Father will provide strength, courage, and grace as we become a light to those around us and walk in obedience to His will. Willingness and obedience is key; God qualifies the called – all that’s required from us is a heart of surrender open to His plan for us.
Share your testimony of what God has done in your life
Your testimony may be colorful or painful but God will use it for your good and for the good of others. Your words can help bring comfort and healing when times are hard, testifying to His love and care and sharing what He has done for you. Your unique story is a powerful weapon against fear and hopelessness; it can encourage others by showing that He is a faithful God who never leaves us alone and takes our difficult experiences to teach us valuable lessons giving us immeasurable hope. Our One True God can transform your story from a sorrowful tale into an uplifting message that helps bring people closer to Him. No matter what has happened in your life, know that He uses everything for good and when you share what He’s done in you, you are part of His plan to save lives. Be willing and ready for the Father to use your testimony to help everyone know the truth – the joy of knowing Him!
Tell others about the Hope that is within you
As a believer, we trust and believe that God is always with us and has our best interests at heart. Even when the future seems too dark to comprehend – trust and faith bring HOPE. As life throws us curveballs, we don’t have to look for people to help us through it because God will give us what we need. He brings unexpected people into our lives to encourage and inspire, renew and fill us with unspeakable joy. Trust Him and allow His hope and light to shine through you in all circumstances. When faced with struggles and hardships, look for the positives within the negatives: when you trust Him, He will allow His blessings to shine through the darkness. Pray that He will show you your circumstances through His eyes, in doing so, suddenly your problems will seem smaller as you allow Him to carry your burdens for you. This new mindset shift will cause you to relax in His arms and show you a life-giving way to walk through your life with renewed HOPE.
Pray for opportunities to share your faith
God gives us abundant opportunities everyday to be a light in this world. As we prayerfully open our eyes and hearts, God will provide us the words of truth and answers that He desires to pour out through us in love. When we study God’s Word intentionally and with His whole story in mind, we can become more aware of God’s loving hand at work in our lives as well as in the lives of those around us. Taking time each day to study God’s Word and link each passage together will help equip us to answer God’s call when it comes. Pray for God’s guidance so you can be ready to share your faith which will draw others closer to Him!
Be bold and courageous in sharing your faith
We don’t have to be afraid of sharing our faith with others, because God will equip us with what we need. Our testimony that He gives us is not to be kept under a “bush”, (Matthew 5) He intends for us to share the Good News of what He has done for us. We are told in Psalm 119 that How happy are those whose way of life is blameless,
who live by the Torah of Adonai! How happy are those who observe his instruction, who seek him wholeheartedly! They do nothing wrong
but live by his ways.
We can trust that He will go before us and prepare the way for whatever situations arise when we share our faith about Him. We should remember that even if we feel inadequate or ill equipped He is always with us providing comfort and protection from above, behind, before and around. We must choose to be bold and courageous even when fear wants to take hold of us – knowing that God is unstoppable in His pursuit of glorifying Himself through our lives.
Remember that God is with you always and will never leave you or forsake you
God is always there for us, present in our everyday lives and willing to fill us with light, truth, and answers when we search for them. God’s love never leaves us, no matter what we may be going through. God is our creator and loves us more than we can possibly imagine. He is big enough to encompass every bit of our lives, and He is working His plan for us even when we cannot feel Him. Bible study doesn’t have to be daunting and drudgery or boxed into man-made concepts. God’s Word is alive and can heal us, comfort us and give us direction. The whole story is relevant! When you read the Bible in its entirety you can really begin to understand God’s whole story of love for mankind. God does not change, the world does – God’s Word holds timeless truths that we need each moment of our lives til our last breath. God loves you and is always with you. He knows your heart. Turn to Him, trust and believe.
As we come to the end of this post, let us remember the great commission given to us by our Lord and Savior Yeshua our Messiah. He has commanded all His believers to go into all the world and spread the Good News (Mark 16:15), all of us, not just the preachers. This can seem like a daunting task, but it becomes much more manageable when we remember that God is with us always and will never leave us or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). We are His vessel, all we need is to be willing, He will do the rest. Be bold and courageous in sharing your faith with others (Ephesians 6:19-20), knowing that even if they do not respond favorably, God still loves them and desires for them to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Let’s close this post by turning back to the Father, repenting of our sins, praying always in everything, and studying the whole Bible from Genesis 1:1 to the last word in Revelation. Only then can we truly be equipped and empowered to share His love with a dying world.
Some added verses for you to study:
The Father’s word says that as believers we are anointed; He has put His seal on us and given us His Spirit in our hearts. He needs us sharing His love and the Good News. (2 Corinthians 1)
In 2 Corinthians 2
His word says:
But thanks be to God, who in the Messiah constantly leads us in a triumphal procession and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of what it means to know him! For to God we are the aroma of the Messiah, both among those being saved and among those being lost; to the latter, we are the smell of death leading only to more death; but to the former, we are the sweet smell of life leading to more life. Who is equal to such a task? For we are not like a lot of folks who go about hustling God’s message for a fee; on the contrary, we speak out of a sincere heart, as people sent by God, standing in God’s presence, living in union with the Messiah.
Mark 16
As you go throughout the world, proclaim the Good News to all creation.
Romans 10
How can people proclaim him unless God sends them?
“How beautiful are the feet of those announcing good news about good things!”
Matthew 28
Therefore, go and make people from all nations into disciples, immersing them into the reality of the Father, the Son and the Ruach HaKodesh, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember! I will be with you always, yes, even until the end of the age.”
What a delightful thought!
I invite you to search the Truth yourself.
Test it. (1 Thessalonians 5:21)
Please go to your Bible and study the entire story. See firsthand what His word says and what He wants to show you. I always check several versions to allow the Spirit to show me the difference and truth. I recommend you do the same.
Enjoy pondering that thought today!
God bless you
