YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE THERE

"As far as it depends on you, live in peace with everyone."
Romans 12:18

If you want to ensure hostility for your cause, just get yourself arrested by the authorities time and time again and claim you are only standing up for your rights. However, one of the best ways of popularising Christianity is to stay on the right side of the law and order and when a policeman asks you to leave an area apologise and leave that area at once.

Paul the Apostle tells us, "We are not fighting flesh and blood". It would help the spread of Christianity if we took heed of this today. Yet so many people who call themselves Christians do exactly the opposite every day. The great evangelists of the 20th and 21st century send a team of men and women two weeks in advance of where they will be ministering.

Jesus was asked to heal the child of a Roman centurion, but the centurion told Jesus, "you do not need to come to my home, just speak the word and at once the child would be healed".

The disciples were sent out 2 by 2 to go into the towns and villages where He was to minister to confess the sins of themselves, the people in those places and the sin of their ancestors. Those things still happen today.

If you look at Daniel chapter 9 and Luke chapter 9 you will see why they do this. What gardener would plant seeds in soil he had not prepared beforehand?

The people were sent out so that the enemy would be bound and would be allowed to steal only of the seeds that has been planted into hearts and minds of those who would attend the meetings. Then the evangelist would come and reap the harvest of the souls that would be forthcoming.

Even today these kinds of event are happening right before our eyes. Recently an abortion clinic complained about Christians praying outside their clinic, so the prayers apologised but then gathered two miles away and still gather in groups and sometimes in their own homes and it was reported later that many people who had booked in for an abortion changing their minds and kept the pregnancy going where the child would then have been born.

There are similar stories like these where murder become non existent after reach a peak or theft were no longer taking place after people had prayed against them.

If we see there is a law that is to be put before parliament making it difficult for people to hear the true gospel of Jesus Christ, don't write to your member of parliament individually and/or collectively and fight in the spiritual realm.

In Matthew chapter 12 told his disciples: "Whatever you bind on Earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on Earth will be loosed in heaven."

So let us stop fighting flesh and blood and start using the power that God has given each and every born again believer. We have been given the strategy, now let us use it in Jesus name.
