I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"THE GOSPEL IS THE POWER OF GOD" BY ANDREW WOMMACK
People are born again through the power of the Word of God, not through prayer. Prayer is very important, but it is not a substitute for the Gospel.
Many people petition God for someone to be saved and can't understand why it hasn't happened yet. We don't have to ask the Lord to save anyone. He isn't willing that anyone should perish. He has already made provision for everyone's salvation.
So what do we pray concerning someone coming to the Lord? Jesus said to pray that the Lord send laborers across their path. They need to hear the Word. Also, we should bind the influence of the god of this world (Satan) who tries to blind them to spiritual truth (II Cor. 4:4).
God is more motivated to save our loved ones than we are. We don't need to plead with Him, but rather we need to become a channel for Him to flow through to reach that person. We do that by sharing the good news (Gospel) with them and/or praying that others will come across their path who will do the same.
The Gospel is the power of God that releases the effects of salvation in our lives (Rom. 1:16). If a person needs healing, it's in the Gospel. If deliverance is needed, it's in the Gospel. Prosperity, answered prayer, joy, peace, love - they are all found through understanding and believing the Gospel.
The Gospel is the good news that although we are sinners and worthy of God's wrath, God, in love, sent His Son to be our substitute, bearing our punishment, so that we could be made completely righteous in His sight. It's based only on our faith in this completed work of Christ and not our own performance. Now that's GOOD NEWS!
Also, we should bind the influence of the god of this world (Satan) who tries to blind them to spiritual truth (II Cor. 4:4).
Right !! How many people reject the truth, the word of God saying it's just man playing GOD! The word of God was written by inspired men of God. The Gospels and that word changes millions of lives and Christ WHOM IS RISEN quoted from it. Many people don't believe there is a HELL BUT FUNNY how even unbelieving scientists and others have been given visions of it. And it is written in the last days God will pour out HIS spirit and many will have dreams and come to faith. Just as it has happened. Some people may play GOD but the real God exists regardless. You did not create everything around you. God did. As John Haggee once said you get the cancer or the cancer will get YOU! Sin, disobedience. and too reject the truth !! There is only one GOOD and that is GOD in heaven. The gospel is THE BAD NEWS to those who reject it. The good news is ONE day judgement day will come and MANY will be put to shame. Some will awake to damnation and others to eternal life. The Gospel is the word of GOD and those who insult it WILL FACE the consequences of doing such. Remember God visits the iniquity of sin up to the forth generation. God KNOWS who the wicked truly are. It is written he is upset with them daily.
"I am a witness unto the lord telling YOU he is real. Repent today. Christ died for the truth. Not error. Not error mixed with truth."
Christ is RISEN. he is the light of the world. Without HIM you WILL walk in darkness as it is written. I challenge you to read a verse a day. Can you do that? Try it!! May the lord be blessed!
Bless David!! Amen
