"And the next Sabbath day came Almost the whole city together to hear the word of God" Acts 13:44 As I read the book of Acts, I see the power of the holy spirit which enable the Apostles to preach the gospel and perform signs wonders and miracles. But what astonishes me is that these men were preaching to entire cities! As i'm studying the book of Acts, I ask myself what if we could preach the Gospel to entire cities just like God used those men to do so. What a blessing it would be to see entire cities come to hear the Gospel. The awesome power of God would be displayed as multitudes would be saved just like in biblical times. But I question what are we doing to take cities? Have our churches become inward focus that we are forgetting about the masses? Jesus Christ took the Gospel outside of the 4 walls of the church and we must do the same. We live in a time where many are afraid or they simply don't know how to share the Gospel. This is why we must come together as body of Christ and teach evangelism that we can share the Good News in order to take over cities. So as I conclude this blog, I ask what are you doing to take over a city? And secondly, will you agree and join with me to take over a city? God bless

In Matthew 28 Jesus commands us to go and make disciples. Jesus commands us to share the Gospel with the lost and or unsaved. But how effective are we as individual Christians and or Churches? Some say reaching out to the lost is not a part of their ministry. Evangelism seems to be last on the list if it makes the "to do list" at all. I see other religions going about town sharing their doctrine whether it be false or true. I watch those people and notice how persistent they are, and how well they are trained. Although they don't have the right message they are trained to deliver their message. And sometimes I wonder where are we? As Christians we seem to be 2 steps behind. Some don't even share the Gospel. Others are afraid to share the Gospel. And some do share it. While we tend to wonder where the next blessing is coming from, God says what about the lost? What about those who don't know Jesus as Lord and savior? Each day we walk by people, work with and talk to people and never make an attempt to share Christ with them. So the question I ask is how effect are we? If you would like to increase your effectiveness in evangelism click on the link below to learn more! God Bless!
http://aalministries.weebly.com/evangelism.html This past Saturday our church went out into the community to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We stood on the bus stops, ministered to people, gave out tracts, and information about the Jesus Christ and our church. While technology is great and can be used to our advantage, Jesus still made contact with lost and hurting people. When we look at the ministry of Jesus, he basically took time out of his schedule to minister to others. Many are filled with the Holy Ghost, speak in tongues, have titles, but at the end of the day we have been commanded and commissioned to share the Gospel to those who are not saved. Everyday we encounter people who are broken, hurting, lost, looking for the way. Many have tried everything except for Jesus Christ. When a person says to you, they don't know what to do, or they don't know what they are going to do, that's an open door to introduce them to Jesus. If they are not saved, we have an obligation to make an effort to share the Gospel with them. It is Gods' will that man may be saved. So please share the Gospel in love, and let others know, there is nothing in hell they want. Contrary to popular belief, there is not a big party in hell. There is nothing but pain, torment all night long, 7 times hotter than you can imagine. There is no day or light in hell, and no way out! "And Jesus came and spake unto them saing, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have command you: and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen" Matthew 28:18-20
