This Great Adventure


The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.  He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor… Isaiah 61-1-2a

Jesus partially fulfilled this prophesy through His ministry.  I say “partially” because those that follow Him also have a part to play in living out this word.  We are called to reach those that don’t know the Savior.  We have been chosen to share our testimony and the grace-filled gospel to those in darkness.

You and I can proclaim liberty for the captives.  We can see lives transformed by the power of Christ’s death and resurrection.  Each of us are ambassadors for Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:20).  We do not have to be ashamed of the gospel.  Ask God today to fill you with His Spirit.  Ask Him today to make you bold for Him, then step out in His ability. 

Reach out to the people in your world that do not know Jesus.  Look for opportunities to winsomely share your relationship with the Lord to others.

Living like this not only changes others, it transforms us as well.  Being used of the Lord in this way is both thrilling and rewarding.  If you haven’t already, won’t you join me on this great adventure.
