Good News...

If your like me you sometimes have a hard time sharing the Good News with others. I think that the number one thing that holds us back from proclaiming the name of Jesus is fear. We have a fear of what people will think of us, that we will be rejected, or just a fear of people. The bible say:

Romans 8:15
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."

So why should we fear? We should cry out to God for boldness, wisdom, and understanding.

I think second we feel that we are unworthy or just don't know enough to speak to someone about the kingdom of God.

2 Corinthians 5:21
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

James 1:5
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

What did Jesus proclaim to the world? Shouldn't we go into the world as he did with the same message he had?

Matthew 4:17
From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."

This was Jesus' main sermon. This is the "Great Commission."

Matthew 28:16-20
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Go into all the world and preach the Good News. Proclaim the word of God over yourself daily. Be in prayer constantly. Fellowship with believer so that you can be in agreement over the word of God and you can encourage each other, pray for one another, and hold each other accountable. The kingdom of God is here. Always lift praise and holy hands before the Lord in every situation. If you live in the Word of God you will always have a word from God.

Matthew 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
