Imagine if none would perish! Imagine if every time we set out to reach a tribal group, a neighborhood, or someone at the work place, that we would have a “none would perish attitude”. We can cultivate a “none would perish attitude”, through praying, giving, going, and sending. As we do this God gives us a harvest of souls. If it is one soul or thousands, God works through our faith to touch others, and win them over to Him. As each of us play our part in these four areas of prayer, giving, going, and sending God uses us in our own unique ways to reach the world for Christ, so that none would perish! I believe God is releasing this to the body so we are restored to have a new heart for souls, a new drive to win people to Christ. It is a lost art that God is challenging the church to be involved in, in a greater way. The bible says: He who wins souls is wise, Prov. 11:30. Saving the lost at any cost so that none would perish!
Two years ago while at a Harley Davison shop in Colorado Springs I ran into a young down and out salesman who was battling drugs and hanging with the Hell’s Angels. This fellow’s biker name was Cub. You could see on his face he was distressed, and worried. After sharing the gospel with him, the Holy Spirit prompted me to give him some money. Upon receiving the money, Cub began to cry, and ran off to the restroom to have a Holy Ghost meltdown! After Cub composed himself, he told me before he came into work that day, that he prayed, and asked God for help for the first time in his life. He told me he prayed, and said: ‘God if you exist please help me today,’ and then he went off to work. Cub was busted, and disgusted, had just got a job with Harley, and his wife and him were going to be evicted from the place they were staying that day. Cub asked Christ into his heart right on the spot that day, after hearing the gospel, and receiving a gift; the Holy Spirit transformed him. After two years, two weeks ago I received a phone call from Cub saying he, his wife, and new daughter are moving into their first house. He thanked me for being the real deal, and told me he and his whole family are now believers.
Hallelujah there is power in the simple gospel. Power to save, and to set free!
