Stay Ye Therefore...
Matt: 28: 18-20
"...I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
Reading this scripture today 3 things stood out to me...
#1: I know we say that we are sons and daughters of the Most High, but do you actually believe that?
Jesus has that he has been given authority in Heaven and Earth, and if we are truly his disciples, he acts on our behalf when we follow his commandments. So we never, ever, ever have to be afraid to do what he has called us to do... (even if you're not sure what to do or how to do it).

#2. As recording artists, or "Street Ministers", we have always been afraid to GO YE because we have not been invited anywhere. When did God ever say to go where you are invited... He Commanded Us To GO!
The same way that Jesus sent out his disciples in Matthew Chapter 10
We do need to seek God on where HE wants us to go, not our bank accounts. Jesus actually told his disciples not to bring any money... I'm not telling you to do that, but pray and ask God to reveal to you what you should do.

#3. With technology, we can reach anywhere in the world, but there is nothing like the power of personal contact. Phone Call, Face to Face, Small Group Meetings, Parties, Group Homes, Grocery Stores, Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Prisons, Social Media, Emails, Text Messages, Snail Mail, Books, etc... use whatever you can think of!
Jesus not only preached from the stage, but actually interacted with people on a personal level... that's where the true change happened!!
Now I know everything is a little crazy with the Covid-19 Pandemic, but like all of the other world catastrophes, this will not last forever. We have been given a message that will impact people's lives. It's crazy, but recording artists have more influence on the world than most politicians.
We must use ALL of our resources, online and offline, to reach any and everyone about the Blood of the Lamb and the Power of our Testimony. YOU HAVE AN ADVANTAGE.
Remember, an advantage is not an advantage unless you use it!
