Now that time is almost up.......evangelism is critical (Matt
9:37)....we need all hands on deck!

I agree it is really frustrating when they won't listen.
Truly they are "ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but
never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven" Mark
4:12

The god of this world has not only blinded their eyes (2Cor 4:4), he
has stoppered their ears and sealed their minds.

Only GOD can get through to them (Psalm 127:1).......but never give up
sprinkling His salt where ever you go (Col 4:5,6)
Ask GOD to give you strategies to pierce the darkness surrounding
them...so His light can shine in.
For He is not willing that any should perish.(2Peter3;9)

Just ask GOD to bring the ones who want to hear across your path each
day....and for the one short sharp jab of truth (scripture)
or a word of knowledge, or even a kindness that was never expected
that will make them open up.

Our job is to be prepared to give a defense of the hope that is in us(1Pet 3:15)
Are we really prepared enough to give a defence? What is out
hope?...Christ in us,the hope of Glory! (Col1:27)

A revelation God gave me is:
You cannot achieve any increase by your own efforts.....it is by my
Spirit (Zech4:6b)
I don't care if the thing you do for me seems insignificant to others
to me it is precious.....I am so pleased when you have a go
when you try to reach them.....it's doesn't matter that you did not
succeed.....instead it matters that you had a go...you did
something....
I delighted that you did anything.
Just like the parable of the talents (Matt 25:14-30).......its not the
size of the return that matters.....its the fact that you did
something with it...(you didn't hide it)

And just like the parable of the workers who arrived late and got the
same pay as those who worked all day(Mat20:1-16).......GOD is saying
the reward is for having a go.

The greatest burden I feel in my spirit from God (knowing time is
short) is to get out their and make every day count...make every
minute count.
Some will only get in by the skin of their teeth.......so the worker
who had a hand in this will be thanked and rewarded.

You may not see the fruit of you efforts but God takes note of every detail.

I believe that when we arrive in heaven there will be people who come
up to us, who we do not know and have never met, to say "Thank you"
and we will ask "What did I do" and they will tell me that "Jesus has
showed me the little thing you did that helped me find my way to Him"

Even if you never see a single soul saved by your efforts........just
encouraging other believers will count.
In the harvest field not everyone is reaping...some are picking-up,
carrying, or bailing or lifting or stacking or driving.

The host of heaven look on and cheer when we leave the world and they
continue to cheer when we compete in this heavenly race.

"but let us encourage one another and build each other up(1 Thes 5:11,
Heb 3:13)--and all the more as you see the Day approaching"
(Heb10:25b)

Equip and strengthen us Lord Jesus in this last hour to run and not
grow weary, to walk and not faint and rise up like eagles (Isiash
40:31)
