It seems as though unbelievers or the lost is fed up with bible bashing and steered away by hypocrites. We cannot clean a fish before it has been caught. And catching takes time and a lot of patience. Only the Lord can grow us closer to righteousness. As we all acknowledged that we were in sin, we should help everyone we can to fall in love with God, as we did, for He loved us first. The place of eternal death, Sheol, was never meant for mankind, it is our duty and calling to not relax on saving souls.
We do this by patiently and consistently lifting them up in prayer. Interceding for them day and night. Three lost souls at a time may be recommended good starting point. When you wake up at night, start interceding and praying for them. One day they will open their hearts to you, confiding in you, even if it takes a year or more. That is when the Holy Spirit guides you on how to minister to them, drawing them closer to getting into a relationship with the Lord. Just as we did, starting with increasing knowledge of God, through his Word. Praying and sharing our lives with God. Joining a bible serving church. Starting to believe. Being baptized. Being baptized by the Holy Spirit. Surrendering everything to the Lord, at the point of falling completely in love with Him.
It is very encouraging, and satisfying to see someone grow in Christ. It builds us and the body of Christ.
The wonder of it all is, after investing in a soul, the chances are very likely that as they grow, they too will start interceding for us and the challenges we face. The more believers are saved by the time we spent investing in them the more intercession we will also be receiving.
We can also try and make it a goal to see how much life we can speak into the lives around us. Starting small is more manageable, maybe with family or close friends. Spending time with them and studying them, their desires get revealed. Then we confess with our mouths as if those desires have already been manifested. Provided that it is according to the promises given to us by the Word of God. And declare that it will edify and glorify God. Later we can even apply this to those ones that may act as vessels of the enemy. Love always concurs, though it may at times be delayed.
When we take Holy Communion in accordance with the Word and after having met the requirements, it is extremely dangerous to take communion in the absence of have met the requirements. The Word is clear on this.
Within the doors of our hearts are all those whom we care for. This may include your natural and spiritual family. All believers from the body of Christ. When Love called our names, The Lord's blood ran through our veins the minute we accepted Christ as the son of God. Instantly our DNA changed, from only having two legs, from our natural mother, and from our natural father, to three legs. Of which Christ's DNA forms the center.
As we drink the blood of Christ, symbolically represented by grape juice, the door posts of our hearts actually is being covered by the blood of the Lamb. This manifestation takes place, so the angel of death will pass over us and those in our hearts.
Though our flesh may die. And we should submit it daily. Our spirit will live forever in the kingdom of God. This is extremely powerful beyond understanding of our natural minds.
After being baptized with the Holy Spirit. All the fruits of the Spirit are deposited within our spirit man. These are seeds sown in our hearts. Any seed first dies before it can live. It feels like there is nothing. We are fighting a constant battle. It is as though in an instant the entire universe turned against us, even other believers. The best means to describe it is... When some woman falls pregnant, they act out of character. Everything seems wrong. Everyone seems to annoy and irritate them. It is not like this with all pregnancies, but some do have this experience. Sometimes for no known reason the impregnant woman gets stomach cramps and nausea. Her body is reacting, then the doctor diagnoses and confirms that she is pregnant. The Holy Spirit impregnates us with the Word, which grows inside us, therefore there will be an internal and external reaction.
