As a Christian we should be busy looking for the lost.
We are in the end of days.
The hour is late and we have no time to waiste.
The Lord asked me, what do you look for when you're searching for the lost?
I didn't know how to answer at first.
So I said if they're using bad language.
If they're taking drugs.
If they're going to the bars and drinking too much.
If they're abusing their children or their mate.
The list can go on and on.
Anyone who's doing these things need the Lord and to be delivered from the way they're living.
Then the Lord said, what if they don't do any of those things what kind of fruits would you look for?
I pondered on that for a while..
We've all known people that are the first ones to jump up and announce they are giving money, clothing, food,to the poor.
They want to be given recognition for their charitable acts.
They look to the world for the approval of how they are living.
When they get sick and the doctors give them bad news they have no hope that it could get better.
They go around with a woe is me attitude.
Then there are those who just have a negitive out look on life.
When you try to show them that there is a possitive side to the situation they just look at you like you're crazy.
Also look for those who have no direction in their life.
They jump from job to job looking for the perfect job.
People that are never satisfied with what they have.
They move around a lot looking for the perfect place to live.
They know there has to be something better but don't have any idea what it is.
Some Christians may fall into some of these things but that only shows that their walk with the Lord needs to grow into
a real relationship with Him.
What the Lord showed me was here are good people out in the world that don't know Him.
We know the fruits we bare when we're walking with the Lord.
We have joy, love, hope, faith, and compassion for our fellw man.
We treat others the way we want to be treated.
We forgive those who hurt us and pray for them.
So you see we look at what fruits we see in others.
We don't put them down.
We show them compassion and the love of the Lord.
We plant seeds by witnessing to them about the Lord.
Then we pray for them.
We pray that the seeds we planted will grow and they will seek the Lord.
If we have the chance to keep in touch you continue to show them the love that Jesus put in our hearts.
But don't push too hard make them come to you with questions about the Lord.
Give them to the Lord and He will finish what you've started.
Let the Lord lead you to the lost.
Then let Him put the words in your mouth to speak to them.
Don't try to force it because if you do it will come to nothing.
Let the Lord do the work through you.
PRAISE GOD THE FATHER, JESUS OUR SAVIOR, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT LIVES WITHIN ALLL CHRISTIANS.
