1
Corinthians 1:26-28
For ye see your calling,
brethren, how that not many wise
men after the flesh,
not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
But God hath chosen the foolish
things of the world to confound the wise;
and God hath chosen the weak things
of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and
things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things
which are not, to bring to nought things that are |
Let me ask you a
couple of questions ...
What if you could change your life and find what your purpose was?
What if you could find and use awesome Spiritual Gifts that are within
you?
What if you could use these Spiritual gifts to change other people's
lives for the better?
How would you like to do that ... For God?
If the answer is ...
YES
You may have bee to ...
REPRESENT
Do you believe in
? Do you think that things just
happen by luck or chance? Or do you believe that everything happens
for a reason? What if you were led to Christianity Oasis by the
Holy
Spirit so that you would find this path because you have been CALLED
to get involved in this program, right now, at this very time in your
life, and God has a plan for you to do amazing things for Him and His
cause!
You have a great
opportunity before you.
Do you believe that
you can make a difference in the world today?
GOD DOES !!!
The Bible is clear
that God calls many to REPRESENT Him ...
But, the Bible also
says that few of those called are actually chosen to serve Him.
Know why few people
are chosen?
Because few CHOOSE to
REPRESENT Him!
They get all caught
up in the worldly things that are going on and CHOOSE that instead.
God made it clear in
the Bible that He would be putting His Spirit in all people and they
would do GREAT things for Him.
|
Acts 2:17-18
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will
pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons
and your daughters shall
,
and your young men shall see visions, and your old men
shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my
handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and
they shall
. |
GOD PROMISED THAT HE
WAS GOING TO CHOOSE PEOPLE TO
REPRESENT HIM. IT IS UP TO YOU AS TO WHAT YOU WILL CHOOSE
TO DO WITH YOUR CALLING.
God will pour out His Spirit on people and they will get special
POWERS.
These powers are
called Spiritual Gifts!
ARE YOU ONE OF THESE
SONS AND DAUGHTERS
WHO GOD IS CALLING TO REPRESENT?
Most people in the
Bible whether they were young or old ...
NEVER thought that THEY would be called.
BUT THEY WERE
And they did awesome
works by showing God's Glory in their words and works.
REMEMBER !!!
With God, nothing is
impossible.
Maybe you're
thinking, "Wow, I'm nobody important, what could I possibly do?" ...
Did you know that the prophet Jeremiah was just a child when God chose
him to be a
?
Check this out ...
|
Jeremiah 1:5-7
(God told Jeremiah) Before I formed thee ... I
ordained thee a
prophet unto the nations. Then said I, (Jeremiah) Ah, Lord GOD!
behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. But the LORD
said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to
all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou
shalt speak. |
Did you catch that?
Before we were even born, God knew who He was going to call. The next
generation of Christian soldiers called to fight the good fight of
Faith and to REPRESENT.
This world is at war with an invisible enemy
called the devil, who is out to capture as many souls as he possibly
can. Just take a look around you and you can see the devil's work in
action ...
IT'S ONLY GETTING WORSE
This invisible enemy likes to use anger, jealousy, greed, hate, fear,
lust, doubt, pride ... All kinds of ugly things that mankind has a
real tough time fighting against ... He is winning a lot of souls over
because FEW CHOOSE to fight ... Most just surrender and follow
the worldly trends.
My friend, it's your
duty as a Christian soldier not to surrender. It's also your job to
protect and defend others that are caught up in his web of lies. God
is counting on you.
Before we take on
such an important
together, it's important that we become
...
FRIENDS
As you know, friendship is based on TRUTH, which builds TRUST. So I
will be sharing a lot of TRUTH with you. We'll be talking about some
very serious topics while our friendship grows.
One thing about TRUTH
... It's not always what people want to hear, but a true friend knows
that even though the TRUTH may hurt sometimes, it's the only CHOICE if
you want a strong friendship.
|
Proverbs 27:6
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy
are . |
In other words, a
true friend will always tell the TRUTH, even though it may hurt.
Someone telling you what you want to hear may make you feel better,
but it will hurt worse
than the TRUTH did in the end.
This is the first
TRUTH that I share with you as your new friend ...
You MUST increase
your Faith.
Faith CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS.
|
Matthew 17:20
Verily I say unto you, IF ye have Faith as a grain of mustard
seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder
place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible
unto you. |
Cool huh?
Jesus is
saying that if you have even a lil REAL Faith, that YOU could say to a
mountain, move from here to over there, and it would.
In other words,
He is saying that with FAITH ... Nothing is impossible.
Which means
...
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
Think about what Jesus just promised for a sec ...
IF WE HAVE Faith WE CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS
But ... What is Faith?
Faith ... Means to BELIEVE something with all your mind and heart.
It is also HOPE in
the unseen.
Sooooooo, Jesus is
saying that if we BELIEVE, we can make anything happen.
BELIEF is like a flowing river. Picture a flowing river in your mind.
Imagine throwing a leaf into that flowing river, what is going to
happen? You guessed it, the leaf will flow the same way the river is
flowing. It doesn't matter what you throw into the river of FAITH ...
It flows the same way. Whether your BELIEFS are good, bad, happy or
sad ...
They will come to life with ... BELIEF.
So what you BELIEVE
... You RECEIVE.
|
Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatsoever
ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. |
Lots of people need
our help out there, and the world is a big place.
Neither one of us can do this alone, but my friend, as a TEAM ...
We can do it TOGETHER.
|
Matthew 18:19-20
"If two of you shall agree on earth as touching any
thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them
of my Father which is in Heaven. For where two or three are
gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them." |
So, let's see if we
understand this correctly.
JESUS promised … If you and other Christians agree, we can ask
ANYTHING in His name, and it will be done. It sounds like a
MIRACLE, doesn’t it?
My new friend ... Are you ready for God to work some miracles through
you?
By taking part in
this program, you're making a CHOICE. You're taking a leap of Faith.
Know what that is? That's when you something that could only happen ...
With Faith. Are you a tiny bit scared? That feeling isn't fear. You're
supposed to feel that. Why? Because you can't do it alone ... That
means you MUST
on JESUS to help you! If you ever feel like you've got it all under
control and you can conquer anything alone ... That's when you've let
go of God's hand. Learn the TRUTH about that feeling, it's not fear,
it's called ,
and God is waiting for you to reach for His hand and become
upon His Holy Spirit.
CHOICE
Choice is something
that God gives to each of us. It's called FREE WILL. We are FREE to do
whatever we .
Your CHOICE to be a Christian is the most important CHOICE of your
life.
You REPRESENT Christ.
As your friend, I'll tell you the TRUTH ... Most people won't agree
with the CHOICE that you have made to REPRESENT Christ. Being a
Christian, you
His name. You ARE different, because the world is heading in a
different direction than you are, and they WILL try over and over to
tell you that EVERYBODY is doing this, or EVERYBODY is doing that, so
THEIR way must be right, and you must be wrong. My friend, you're not
EVERYBODY else. And you're not wrong.
You're different ...
You're special ... You are called.
You don't follow all
the other sheep to the slaughter, so to speak. You're not afraid of
the responsibility it takes to lead a
life. You have a stronger
than most people and you
recognize what's right and wrong much easier than EVERYBODY else
because you CHOOSE to. You want to live THE WAY that Jesus taught.
|
John 14:6
I am THE WAY, the
TRUTH, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. |
So ... what's this
program all about? It's about building your Christian character. It's
about gaining wisdom and knowledge that will
your Faith. It's about strengthening your armor against the enemy, the
devil. It's about living THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE, that is
taught to us by our Savior Jesus Christ, and sharing the light of what
you learn with others, who will in turn share it with still others.
This program is about building an army of Christian soldiers for God,
to defend the Faith and REPRESENT in a world that is quickly becoming
Faithless. It's about reaching out to other people and making a
difference in their lives, for the glory of GOD!
Have you ever heard
of the ripple effect? It's where you throw a stone into the water,
which causes a ripple, which causes more ripples, which causes more
and more and more, spreading out wider and wider and wider, until the
whole pool is filled with ripples! YOU can be a stone, and make it
happen ... for GOD! You'll change a few lives, and they'll each change
a few, and so on and so on ... Here's a picture that'll give you an
idea of this ripple effect.
By
choosing to REPRESENT Christ, you choose to share Jesus' life,
through you, with others, because you're ONE with Him. People see Him
in you ... In the things you do, the way you act, the way you talk,
the way you live ... YOUR words and deeds are a
of Him.
Jesus told us that it's our
duty, it's our job to be doing this as you'll find out in just a
moment. There's a story which
Jesus told, that I'd like to share with you. After the story, we'll
talk about the message that's in it.
THE PARABLE OF THE TALENTS
|
Matthew 25:14-30
For the kingdom of Heaven is as a man traveling into a far
country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them
his goods. And unto one he gave five talents (a certain amount
of money), to another two, and to another one; to every man
according to his several ability; and straightway took his
journey. Then he that had received the five talents went and
traded with the same, and made them other five talents. And
likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. But
he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid
his lord's money. After a long time the lord of those servants
cometh, and reckoneth with them. And so he that had received
five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord,
thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained
beside them five talents more. His lord said unto him, Well
done, thou good and Faithful servant: thou hast been Faithful
over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things:
enter thou into the joy of thy lord. He also that had received
two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two
talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
His lord said unto him, Well done, good and Faithful servant;
thou hast been Faithful over a few things, I will make thee
ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I
knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not
sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: And I was
afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou
hast that is thine. His lord answered and said unto him, Thou
wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I
sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: Thou oughtest
therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my
coming I should have received mine own with usury. Take
therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath
ten talents. For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he
shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken
away even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable
servant into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth. |
WOW ... Okay now I
know that it may be a lil hard to understand what Jesus was saying but
that was His INTENT. He spoke in parables. Parables are short stories
that Jesus used to show us how we should live our lives. We can
substitute some things in this parable so we can see the example of
how we should live our lives as Christians.
In this parable ...
WE are the servants of the Lord. The talents in this story represent
money BUT Jesus was using it to symbolize the Spiritual gifts given to
us by God to REPRESENT Him. If we CHOOSE to use those gifts to HELP
HIS LOST CHILDREN find TRUTH we are blessed with more Spiritual
Rewards. But if we choose not to use these gifts as to glorify Him and
bring in His sheep, we lose all that He gave us.
We have an exciting
adventure ahead of us. As you build your Faith, your
and
your as a Christian, you're really taking your
talents, and glorifying the Lord. Others will see the results in your
life and as you share your Faith with them, you are leading people to
the Lord. You'll find that He will begin putting you in situations
where others need you to help them grow in their Faith, and then my
friend, the ONE you REPRESENT, will bless you
!
You're also beginning a lifestyle that will lead you through a happy
life on earth, and life everlasting. These aren't just pretty words
... They're TRUTH!
Doing nothing is also
a choice. Think about that.
Today is the first
day of the rest of your life. As people get older, they get set in
their ways and it's difficult for them to change their beliefs and
habits even if they're wrong. As the saying goes, 'It's hard for a
tiger to change it's spots.' But you ... Being called by The Holy
Spirit to REPRESENT, you have the opportunity to repaint your spots
wherever you like, or you can choose stripes or anything you choose.
If you choose TRUTH, just think of all the future heartache you save
yourself from.
As I said before, my
friend, many people will want to
you, because they BELIEVE that it's not cool to
be a Christian. I have to ask, what do they believe IS cool? My bet is
that what they believe to be cool, aren't the things Jesus would do.
Many people may be jealous, because they don't have the
to REPRESENT. To REPRESENT means being strong.
Just ask yourself when people disagree with your choice ... Do I want
to please people, or do I want to please God? It's not the popular
thing to do. It's different. You're different. They may reject you.
Don't give in. Jesus said:
|
Matthew 5:10-12
Blessed are they which are
for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the
kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall
you, and persecute you, and
shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in
Heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before
you. |
It's a shame game.
Don't be ashamed to
stand up for your beliefs.
|
Matthew 10:32-33
Whosoever therefore shall
confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father
which is in Heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him
will I also deny before my Father which is in Heaven. |
In other words, the
way you REPRESENT Christ, is the way He will REPRESENT
you, before God! Stand up for Him and He will stand up for you.
Words that sound
strange, or 'religious' to you when we begin, will become a part of
your by the time we're finished.
You'll be reading a lot of Bible verses and some may be difficult to
understand, but I'll be explaining what they mean if they're
complicated. Soon you'll begin to see the awesome wisdom of the Bible,
which is God's letter of love to us, His children.
The times we live in
are changing rapidly. Unfortunately, as technology is increasing, so
is the wickedness and evil in the world. Who will be the leaders of
the future? Who will REPRESENT? The answer is ... YOU! ...
Jesus is counting on
YOU to carry on His light in the world. The future is in YOUR hands.
Each day we will be
taking ONE step at a time to reaching this new goal.
I know it’ll be hard
to resist going on to the next step once you begin, but if your “cup
runneth over” where does all that TRUTH go, that doesn’t fit into the
cup?
You should only digest so much at a time, and that way, nothing is
wasted and you get the benefits of every ounce of TRUTH. If you take
it slow, all that you will be learning will have a chance to absorb
into your mind and your spirit will react when you take each step ONE
DAY AT A TIME to complete this program.
Taking in too much at one time, you run the risk of forgetting some of
it and not allowing the natural instincts and habits to establish
these new BELIEFS.
Another benefit of
taking ONE STEP AT A TIME is that it naturally makes you want to
return each day, because it’s truly a very exciting program.
