Once you know Christ there is one thing you have to do to even be able to be explosive for Christ.

What is this one thing?

Spend Time with God.

Now the big questions how and why.

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Tim 2:15 (KJV)

16 Rejoice evermore. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19 Quench not the Spirit. 20 Despise not prophesyings. 21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

1 Thess 5:16-21 (KJV)

These verses tell how to:

Study
Rejoice
Pray
Give  Thanks
Listen to the Spirit
Learn from a teacher and/or preacher
Prove all things (how the above list gives that answer study and pray)

Does your heart beat for Jesus Christ?

Does your soul still want to reach out to others for Jesus Christ?

Does your body still minister for Jesus Christ?

Or

God Forbid

You answer no to any one or more of these?

Do you even know why you say no?

This is seldom because of sin in our lives. This is usually because we have lost heart and/or bitterness has crept in.

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. James 1:6-7 (KJV)

What is your faith like? The wishy washy kind? The kind that cannot stand for the Lord?

Or

The strong kind who sill stand for the Lord? Even better is it the kind that leads you to being explosive for the Lord?

Why don't we back up a little bit and ask another question. What is faith?

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Heb 11:1 (KJV)

This is not blind faith now is it?

Let's break this down. Substance of Things Hoped For. What do you hope for? Evidence of things not seen. So there is evidence too. So we are not talking about blind faith are we. Once faith in Jesus is established once you choose to believe the evidence will be there.

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Heb 11:3 (KJV)

Do you have understanding? The Holy Spirit is the one that provided understanding. Or do you have fear? I am afraid of this and that being a primary thing you say? With the Holy Spirit that should not be in our hearts for we do not serve a God of fear.

If you continue in Hebrews 11 you will find many examples of deep faith. You will find many good examples to follow on how to have faith and be faithful to God.

Of course, faith does have to start somewhere.

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matt 17:20 (KJV)

We are not talking about the yellow mustard seed we are use to, but the black mustard seed which is much smaller and was the smallest seed known to the Jews at the time that Jesus made this statement. That little Mustard seed is a good place to start to be explosive for Christ.

As we grow our little tiny baby explosions can grow larger and stronger as our faith grows. The explosions of course are not us taking a town by storm, but by showing Jesus to all those around us.

This faith allows us to be God Pleasers instead of Man Pleasers. Being Man Pleasers is displeasing to God. Being Man Pleasers also shows a lack of faith in God.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Heb 11:6 (KJV)

Are you a faith filled God pleaser or a fear-filled man pleaser?

Personally I prefer to follow Hebrews 11:6.

If you belong to God your country is Heaven. If we are seeking the things of the world then you are not seeking the things of Heaven. You are not seeking the Kingdom of Heaven as Jesus commands us in the four gospels.

I have a very important question for you. One that you will need to pause this podcast and consider very carefully. One that you will have to be fully honest with yourself with.

Are you happy, at peace, and full of joy?

Think Carefully

Deliberate on it.

If your answer is yes then God Bless.

If your answer is no please listen further.

If your answer was no I have both good and bad news for you.

I will start with the bad Now don't run away I promise there is good news.

Now onto the bad news.

1. We are ALL sinners. Yes, I mean ALL humans. Romans 3:23

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23 (KJV)

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23 (KJV)

This means both physical and spiritual death. In other words going to hell. 15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. 16 The Lord is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Psalms 9:15-17 (KJV)

Now that we have established that you are a sinner and going to hell. I was one too you know. Note the word was.

This leads to the good news.

You can reach out no matter who you are.
You are probably going to reply like this.
I am just a teenager no one will listen to me!
I am just a tween no one cares what I think or feel!
