A prayer to 9 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 2: be a Missionary every Day, written by Canisius Saunders Liddy, 10 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: read by Carrie Iberger. Many some Saritans from the village 11 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 2: believed in Jesus because the woman had said, he told 12 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 2: me everything I ever did John four, verse thirty nine. 13 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 2: As believers, we are called to do the work that 14 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 2: Jesus started long ago, which is to share the good 15 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 2: news of the Gospel with those who don't know him. 16 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 2: When Jesus lived on earth, that is what he did, 17 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 2: and he left an example for believers to follow in 18 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 2: the way he lived. Many think of people going to 19 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 2: Africa or China and other remote parts of the world 20 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,279 Speaker 2: that being a missionary is more than that. We should 21 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 2: not neglect local missions that ministered to those who live 22 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 2: in our communities and the people we interact with daily. 23 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but I can see the 24 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 2: signs of the times are clear. We are closer noun 25 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: to the coming of Christ than when we first believed. 26 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 2: We were not just called to sit idly in the 27 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: church building waiting for Jesus to return. Believers should be 28 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 2: involved in soul winning or we reach the loss. No 29 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: matter the cost. Is great for us to support the 30 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 2: men and women on the field financially and through prayer. 31 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 2: But you are also a missionary. When we share the 32 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: Gospel of Jesus Christ with others, we are being missionaries 33 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: in our own right. Do you know the most powerful 34 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 2: message you can share as your testimony? A simple tract 35 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: with the Plan of Salvation and a sharing of John 36 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 2: three point sixteen can help you effectively share the gospel 37 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: with an unbeliever. Telling someone how God saved you by 38 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: sharing your testimony may be all that's needed to reach 39 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: someone God has already been working on. Remember that some 40 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 2: of us plant some water and some reap the harvest. 41 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: Each part is equally important when winning souls for the 42 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: Kingdom of God. One story from the Bible stands out 43 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: to me when I think of a local missions. Jesus 44 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: went out of his way to visit Samaria to encounter 45 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 2: a woman who was ripe for the picking. After she 46 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 2: tasted the living water, she went to her community and 47 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 2: brought everyone out to meet with Jesus. She not only 48 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 2: recognized her need for a savior, but also became a 49 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: passionate soul winner when she shared Jesus with her entire village. 50 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 2: Come and see a man who told me all I 51 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 2: ever did is not he the Christ. There was no 52 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 2: shame or guilt in her life anymore. The reason Jesus 53 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: was able to meet her alone was that she went 54 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: to the well when no one else would in order 55 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: to avoid the other women and their gossip. But once 56 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: she met Jesus, she was no longer the name. He 57 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: came into her life to satisfy her soul, and she 58 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: was able to testify of God and share him with others. 59 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: This is how we should be. We should be missionaries 60 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: every day. The people we meet, our families, co workers, 61 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: and friends who need to encounter God and start a 62 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 2: relationship with him. Let's pray, Dear Heavenly Father, thank you 63 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,239 Speaker 2: for saving a wretch like me. Help me to see 64 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 2: others through your lens as sinners in need of a savior. 65 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: You have said that the fields are ripe and ready 66 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: for harvest. So I pray for laborers that you will 67 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 2: raise up bless me so that I may be a 68 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 2: blessing to others through my life, my finances, and my testimony. 69 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 2: Give me a passion for souls, Dear Lord, that I 70 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: would boldly share the good news with those who need hope. 71 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 2: I pray that I would be a missionary every day. 72 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 2: Give me the words and fill me with your holy 73 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: spirit to say what you place in my heart. Grant 74 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 2: me wisdom to speak when you want me to, and 75 00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 2: be quiet when I should. Heavenly Father, thank you, Thank 76 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 2: you for calling other believers who are missionaries who have 77 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 2: shared the Gospel with me and have given me a 78 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 2: hope and a future in you. I pray that my 79 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 2: light will shine just where I am, and I will 80 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 2: be sold in my community. Help me to put you 81 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 2: first in all that I do and share your good 82 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:34,799 Speaker 2: news with this dying world.
