He who observes the wind [and waits for all conditions to be favorable] will not sow,
and he who regards the clouds will not reap.
Ecclesiastes 11:4 (Amplified Version)

A lot of Christians fall into the category of observing the wind and waiting for conditions to be favorable before they evangelize when it comes to witnessing. Have any of the following excuses kept you from sharing your faith?

• Waiting until you feel like it. If you wait until your flesh feels like witnessing then you might as well be waiting for hell to freeze over or for the Kansas City Chiefs to win a Super Bowl because it aint gonna happen. Our flesh wasn’t made to do spiritual things any more than a car was made to fly. We need to make our flesh pray, read the Bible and tell others about Jesus. Once you get past the flesh and the lies of devil and begin to witness to people you will be glad that you did. Witnessing brings joy and fulfillment to us and salvation to lost and hurting souls.

• Waiting until you feel the anointing. Remember, we walk by faith and not sight or feelings. The Word of God says that if you’re saved and have received Jesus in your life then according to 1 John 2:27 you are already anointed because it says, “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you,…” So in other words you already have an anointing on you to evangelize if you are saved whether you feel the anointing or not.

That tribulation can come from many places; in the workplace, in our business, with our kids and marriages, relationships with our neighbors and even through bad decisions others have made that affect us. You may be saying, how is it possible to have peace and joy in the midst of tribulation?

Well first of all Jesus starts off this verse saying, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace.” In other words reading and meditating on God’s word will bring us peace in the middle of trouble and according to Joshua 1:8 (more…)

Be praying for me as I take 5 students from the Ministry Academy of the St. Louis Dream Center (SLDC) to the Northern Navajo Nation Fair in Shiprock, New Mexico to minister to the Navajos. I am excited that God has opened up the door for me to bring these students because I feel like part of my ministry is to train people in evangelism. On Friday nights I am able to do this as a route leader for the Street Ministry in North St. Louis and now I am able to do it on a missions trip. This is a great opportunity to train young adults in mission work.

I’m looking forward to seeing all the good things that God is going to do at this outreach. On Monday I met with the students and we put together over 500 salvation bracelets to use as a ministry tool to reach the Navajos of all ages; the children, gothic teenagers and adults. (more…)
