UNCLOGGING CHANNELS FOR MINISTRY

“HARVEST IS PAST, SUMMER IS ENDED, AND WE ARE NOT SAVED.” Jeremiah 8:20

“MULTITUDES, MULTITUDES IN THE VALLEY OF DECISION! FOR THE DAY OF THE LORD IS NEAR IN THE VALLEY OF DECISION.” Joel 3:14

I.THE MASTER’S PLAN

Your type of Christianity will control whether or not the movement of God will bring this world to Jesus

“The Master’s Plan is a good plan because it is His plan.”

“His plan is to get into a person who will believe in Him as Savior and let Him become Lord and Master filling and empowering that person with His Holy Spirit thus enabling Himself to be the witness through that person He longs to be.”

II. THE MASTER’S PLEA

The Master’s Plan includes His Call as His Plea for you and me to be His witness to people where He places us every day.

III. THE MASTER’S POWER

“…IF ANYONE IS THIRSTY, LET HIM COME TO ME AND DRINK. HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME, AS THE SCRIPTURES SAID, “FROM HIS INNERMOST BEING WILL FLOW RIVERS OF LIVING WATER.” John 7:37-38

“JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID TO HER, “IF YOU KNEW THE GIFT OF GOD, AND WHO IT IS WHO SAYS TO YOU, `GIVE ME A DRINK,’ YOU WOULD HAVE ASKED HIM, AND HE WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU LIVING WATER.” John 4:10

“…BUT WHOEVER DRINKS OF THE WATER THAT I GIVE HIM SHALL NEVER THIRST; BUT THE WATER THAT I WILL GIVE HIM WILL BECOME IN HIM A WELL OF WATER SPRINGING UP TO ETERNAL LIFE.” JOHN 4:14

“BUT YOU SHALL RECEIVE POWER WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS COME UPON YOU; AND YOU SHALL BE MY WITNESSES…” ACTS 1:8

The stream must FLOW IN, and must FLOW THROUGH, if it is to FLOW OUT.

There must be a good connection UPWARD in our relationship with God and a clear channel INWARD before there can be an OUTWARD flow as a viable witness of God’s love to a lost and dying world.

“HOLY SPIRIT, SHOW ME, ME, AS YOU SEE ME.”
