I found it ironic, then Saul, with the same zeal for coming against the people of God, upon conversion, now Paul, set a fire by the Holy Spirit to exhort, encourage and rebuke believers with the same heart-felt passion, flowing in the same gifts for the great commission of the Lord. Thus, the gifts are given without repentance,(Rom 11:29) they will operate in the world system and in the the Kingdom of God.
Proposed Questions:
1. "Are you giving the best of your gifts to the world or to the Kingdom of God?"
2. "Which side of the battle have you chosen?"
3. "How are you influencing those among you?"
"Passively choosing or not choosing is also making a choice and with it, comes the consequences and accountability of inaction." -KVRW
Be encouraged that even while living among the heighten glamorization of reality TV shows, sexual perversion, and confused sexual identity acceptance, their is hope. In a world subtly stealing and influencing the minds of our unprotected youth, there is hope for every heart and soul that yearns to be embraced and accepted, in love. We have been chosen - hand picked by God Himself and set apart as the church to proclaim the good news to everyone, (1Pet2:9.) Not to be silent witnesses to the current state of affairs doing or saying nothing. We are called to respond to those who are left lost, broken, and hurting by the unseen tactics and forces of darkness and evil.
This is our Call. This is our vocation. As believers of the church, we are to stand and fight for the lost generation, interceding on their behalf, taking the gospel to them (Matt15:16) in creative formats for them to receive a much needed "RIGHT NOW, RHEMA* WORD OF DIRECTION FOR THEIR LIVES!" We are bringing the anointing through the preached Word and destroying the work of the enemy over their lives. We are the chosen ones who stand VICTORIOUSLY in the Warrior's armor of God! This is our purpose, this is the vocation of the Body of Christ - The Church.
Paul concludes one of his many penned messages and exhorts his readers, the church, reminding them to remain in spiritual revelation for executing the battles victory. He leaves them with a message of strength, hope, victory and prayer...
Eph 6:10-19(Amplified Bible)
10In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].
11Put on God's whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil.
12For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.
13Therefore put on God's complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].
14Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God,
15And having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news] of the Gospel of peace.
16Lift up over all the [covering] shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one].
17And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God.
18Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God's consecrated people).
19And [pray] also for me, that [freedom of] utterance may be given me, that I may open my mouth to proclaim boldly the mystery of the good news (the Gospel),
Make a choice to be the voice God needs to speak a Word of love and encouragement to those who have for whatever reason, never had the privilege of hearing the gospel. It is a privilege - we the church must see is as such, a luxurious opportunity full of God's love, righteousness, and majesty.

Receiving Jesus Christ...
If you sense the prompting of the Holy Spirit drawing you to him, hearken - do not hesitate! Receive Jesus Christ into your heart today, read the Prayer of Salvation by faith and you WILL be saved. I will be praying for you and with you in the Spirit.
Rom10:8-13 states...
8But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.” 12For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
That name in verse 13 is Jesus.
Prayer of Salvation
Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of your dear Son Jesus Christ. I believe He died on the cross for my sins and was raised from the dead three days later and He is now alive. Lord Jesus, I am asking you now to come into my heart and live your life in me. I repent of my sins and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord and savior and I now live my life for Him. In Jesus' name, amen.
You are now a Warrior in God's Armor! Praise the Lord!
Today is the most important day of your life.
Today is the most important day of your life.
I encourage you to attend a church that preaches the anointed Word of God and teaches a Word based foundational teaching for new believers. This will bring understanding and encouragement to your new life. Also, be water baptized that you be Holy Spirit-filled, Acts 8:37-39. These steps are priority, ask the Holy Spirit to guide you to your new church home, He will lead you into all truth, John 16:13. Be Blessed.
Remember, salvation is a gift (Eph 2:8) and is received by faith - we can't touch, taste it, see it or feel it - We just have to BELIEVE it to RECEIVE it! Now, go and tell someone and rejoice!
