"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 As I sit patienetly in the waiting room as my wife is having surgery, the Lord gave me a thought of how many are sitting in his waiting room? For those who are saved, where Jesus is the Lord and savior, we are not in the waiting room because we already have been admitted into the Kingdom of Heaven. But there are many who are not saved. Jesus Christ is not their Lord and Savior, therefore they wonder if they will reside in heaven with Jesus, or they have a false sense of security. These are people who are in "The Waiting Room." They live thier lives without God being a priority. They go about their daily business as if salvation is based on their conduct, good works, or just being a good person. For some, life revolves around their career, husband, wives, children, education, money, or even themeselves. They are in "The Waiting Room." They are in the waiting room" to see if they will hear the words," job well done thy good and faithful servant. Enter into the Joy of the Lord." So as I sit here and wait for the post operation consultation from the doctor, the question I pose to you is are you in "The Waiting Room?" If you answered yes to this question, then it's imperative that you take the next step in receiving Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. If you would allow Jesus to save you, then you won't have to remain in the waiting room nor guess if you are going to heaven or not. The Bible says in Romans 10, "If thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart, that God raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved." And if you do this, truly believing in your heart that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, and he is Lord, then you won't be in "The Waiting Room."
