Keeping the main thing the main thing.

 Keeping the main thing the main thing.

In my few years on this earth I have found that the church and myself, especially Pentecostal/Charismatic ones and myself, tend to get to focused on secondary things.

This leads us to forget the great commission and what the power of the Holy Spirit is really for.

Ask yourself this, if you lay hands on a thousand people and they are all healed, you feed and clothe another thousand, you are able to drawl a crowd of a thousand people any time you want to speak, and you perform a thousand miracles BUT not one of those thousands ever became born again what’s the point?

One last question, if all you did was proclaim the gospel but never drew a crowd, never saw anyone healed, and never performed a miracle BUT one person was born again and became a disciple of Jesus would it have been worth it?

The Spirit’s power is for us to make disciples. Every supernatural move of God in our lives is to enable us to be His witnesses to the world. Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

Matt 28:18-20 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

Mark 16:14-20

Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
