Ep. 122 - The Amazing Definition of Initiative, Part 3

This is the final instalment of Ray Comfort’s devotional on Initiative. It is true that you can receive a word from God to step out in particular ways, such as when Ray and his family left New Zealand to come to the United States in 1989, but when it comes to sharing the gospel, we already have the command from God in the Great Commission. When you’re a Christian and you are filled with the desires of God and you want to see the lost saved, then you will pray and see the hand of God move again and again to answer those prayers. Not because you’re praying for something that you want, but because you are praying the will of God himself. God honors little things that you start. Ray has seen this happen over and over again, like with the upcoming “Operation London,” which is already fully funded, and even when he began filming his witnessing encounters, which Ray could never have imagined would be as successful as it has been. Initiative has been defined as “doing the right thing without being told.” This is evangelism. God has called us, and scripture entreats us to act boldly for the sake of the gospel. Pray for creativity and initiative, then begin and do something. Do what you can, trust in the power of the gospel and the Word of God, and you will see the desires of your heart, God’s desires to see the lost saved, come to fruition.Send us Fan MailThanks for listening!
