Being a Witness.

I want to give some definition to the ministry of the witness. Witnessing is done by how we live our lives, how we interact with those around us and with our words. Faith filled words can change circumstances, God's word being spoken out of the mouth of one of his believing children, mixed with faith, will change lives. Look at what the Apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesians.

Ephesians 4:11-13

11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:

The section that stands out to me is verse 12,” For the perfecting of the Saints, for the work of the ministry.” We, the Saints, the believers and followers of Jesus, do the work of the ministry. When I create a video for my website, I am “witnessing.” I am giving testimony about a Christian subject matter, coupled with scripture. I am doing what I believe all Christians are called to do, speak the Word, speak about the Word, and build each other up in the Word!

I have Christian friends, who when we get together and socialize, we talk mostly about the Word of God, and what the Lord is teaching us in this time of our lives. Many times there are people there with us who overhear our conversation, and I will even try to make them feel involved in the conversation, trying to engage them, for the purpose of “Witnessing.”

Lets consider what Jesus said to the disciples just before he ascended to Heaven, the passage of scripture that is called, “The great commission.”

Mark 16:15-18

15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

Yes, if you are a believer and disciple of Jesus Christ, you are called! You have a clear word from the Lord. Go ahead, be a witness, speak out with boldness to those around you.

Again, lets look at these similar scriptures in Matthew, Luke and John.

Matthew 28:18-20

18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

Luke 24:46-49

46 Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.48 And you are witnesses of these things.49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high."

John 20:21-22

21 So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you."

You have probably heard of teachings about witnessing concerning our lives being a witness. It is true, the way we live our lives is a witness to the Grace and Mercy of our Lord, but I am also a big believer in the power of words, especially Gods words being spoken out of our mouths. When the Holy Spirit gives us the nudge to speak a word to a non-believer, there is power and anointing in our witness.

So I encourage you, pray about your witnessing ministry. Ask the Lord to give you circumstances where you can be a witness to others, both in deed and words, and He will do it!

The Creative Power of God's word

“Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself”: Franklin D. Roosevelt’s First Inaugural Address.

I believe that the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt from 65 years ago are prophetic. He said this famous quote as he addressed the nation during one of darkest times in the history of the United States of America. When I listen to the news media and the people involved in finance, the word “fear” is used a lot.

Look at what Jesus said in the book of Luke when he was describing the “last days” or the events that will happen at the close of this present age.

Luke 21:25-28

"And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;26 men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near."

Verse 26 is particularly interesting, men’s hearts failing them from “fear.”

Fear and faith have a close relationship. Fear is the “yang” to faiths “ying”. Fear is having faith in the bad thing happening. Fear is the polar opposite of faith, it runs in the opposite direction. If a person says, “I’m afraid that the cancer will overcome me and I will die”, then that person just used fear as a type of faith to express their belief that the cancer will in fact kill them. A person can say, “This economy is real bad, we are in a free fall and we are in for a bad rescission or maybe even a depression”. What just happened? The power of fear is expressed in the form of worry and anxiety.

There are events that are happening in the world now that are affecting all of us. Some events are going to happen around us no matter what, like the events Jesus described in Luke 21:25-28. Those events are prophesied, they are going to happen. How do we live in these times of fear and turmoil?

By faith.

Faith in God’s word. Faith in God’s mercy and grace. Faith in the fact that God is a God who hears and answers prayer. Prayer is the most powerful force in the earth, more powerful than money.

What is faith? The bible says that it is a “substance”. A substance to me is something that is tangible, I can touch it, taste it, smell it. Here is the bible definition of faith.

Hebrews 11:1-3

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.

3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

Notice that God uses faith! He is a faith God! Look at verse 1, “the evidence of things not seen”, and verse 3 “the things which are seen were not made of the things which are visible”.

Powerful stuff, much more powerful than fear. Now, lets look at God’s word concerning how to deal with fear. What is God’s will concerning how we are to deal with and operate in “fearful” situations.

Look at this powerful Psalm, and compare the reference to the roaring waters in Luke 21:25.

Psalms 46:1-3

God is our refuge and strength,

A very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear,

Even though the earth be removed,

And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

3 Though its waters roar and be troubled,

Though the mountains shake with its swelling.

Now look at this passage of scripture in Romans, Paul points out that fear is “bondage”. But we do not have to receive it!

Romans 8:15-17

15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out,"Abba, Father."16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,17 and if children, then heirs -- heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

The writer in Hebrews is confessing with his mouth, “I will not fear”.

Hebrews 13:6

6 So we may boldly say:

"The LORD is my helper;

I will not fear.

What can man do to me?"

Finally, my all time favorite scripture concerning how to deal with anxiety and worry, which is caused by fear. Remember, fear is a type of faith, a perversion of faith. Fear is having faith in the bad thing happening.

Philipians 4:6-7

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

This is an absolute promise, you can take that to the bank and deposit it! You can have faith in this word, that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and mind, in the mist of the turmoil and the raging waters!

Take this promise to be your own, by faith. Speak it from your own lips everyday, especially when fear tries to rear its ugly head, and say out loud, “No, no, no, my heart and mind is guarded through Christ Jesus. Fear, you have no place in me, I live by faith!”
