Revelation 10b tells us, "Everyone who tells about Jesus does it by the power of the Spirit."
"Some time ago we studied about evangelism and from this study I know that the Holy Spirit is at work when we tell others about Jesus. I know, too, that if you say, "Jesus is Lord," it is only by the power of the Holy Spirit. Another thing I know is that to squelch the Spirit is a sin with which I do not want to deal! So, I hope I do not squelch the Spirit, either with my lack of words or my actions.
"God, I want others to know about your Son, that He saved me and changed me, and He will save and change them as well. I want them to know how much you love them and how much Jesus loved us by His many sacrifices for us. I want them to know the joy of worshipping you within a church family as we work, pray, and gather together. I want them to know the joy of worshipping in an adult child's church with his or her family. I want them to be strengthened by your power and at peace through your faithfulness, and able to enjoy the awe of your holiness. I want their hearts to sing in your presence and know you are always with them, as you are with me. Amen."
And so I leave you with this early prayer, knowing it is still my heart's desire, and His. Go with God, my Friend.
