He is God

Jesus said :
"But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven" (Matt 10:33). "He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation" (Mark 16:15-16)...."Peace be with you!" John 20:19

Sometimes I too, like Os Hilman have my reserve thoughts about sharing my faith. What is my faith? I start to say what is the good new? Those questions are actually great! God has brought me out of a life of sex, drugs, and rock n roll, which is leading so many young people to living death and depression, God brought my whole life to a place of reliance on His Son Jesus. When before I had little conviction and reality of the truth of what drinking and doing drugs would lead to, not just in this life, but eternally; Now! I have a greater understanding of what God made me for, and it is not the fading pleasures of this world. He made me because He desired to delight in me, loving me, and giving me heavenly pleasures that will last for all eternity. I will not aimlessly wonder why? Oh God! Why? Now I know that everything is working in me a far greater glory than I can imagine. And that means that some day, as promised, I will have no more tears, no more pain, and I will see Jesus face to face.

"I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ" (Philemon 6-7).

When we share Christ with others God allows us to gain a deeper and greater understanding of every good thing in Christ. Do you see the direct correlation between sharing your faith and your own spiritual growth? Paul says it's actually a prerequisite to spiritual growth. -Os Hilman

I sometimes have thought, that if I tell others what has happened to me they will in no way understand, but who cares! The Spirit of the only living God is the one who put truth in my heart, and He is the one responsible for changing the hearts of men, not me. I just tell how He did it to me, that's my good news. He actually changed me, look at me! My thoughts, my actions, my passions, my joy it is all centered around Him and He alone can satisfy our desire, because as our Creator, He hard-wired those desired into us! So we turn to Jesus! So simple is His love! and So great! His mercy, forgiving the undeserving and His grace, blessing them with extravagant gifts of His love and providence they will never fail! never fail! never!
HE IS GOD. Jesus is real.

The leaves are falling, and as the seasons of nature change, so do the seasons of men. I believe now people are looking for truth and something that is real. If Jesus has done something good in our lives, big or small, Lord help us to share this good news with others. God has touched us, given us joy, strength, blessings, and peace. Thank You Jesus, help us to have simple confidence and peace in telling our little stories of the goodness You have done in our day to days, and our year to years. Pour out Your Spirit Lord on us in these changing times, and on those You have chosen to be Your own; let their hearts be prepared to accept the greatest Love of all. Give us courage Holy Spirit, for we love You.

The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,' says the Lord of hosts. 'And in this place I will give peace,' says the Lord of hosts." Haggai 2:9 NKJ
