MARK 13
9 “But be on your guard. For they will deliver you over to councils, and you will be beaten in synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them.
10 And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations.
11 And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.
DIVINE SPEECH THERAPY
Jesus is speaking in his Olivet discourse, he is giving many warnings to his disciples about what will happen to them.
What he said to the disciples actually happened, I think Peter and John, would remember these words, when they stood before the council in Acts 4, that Stephen would remember them as he shared in Acts 7. They did not have a bible in front of them.
Paul did not have his bible with him, when he proclaimed the gospel In Acts 17 and 26. The holy spirit, who is our helper, brings all things to our remembrance John 14:26.
Have you ever been out on the street and had an opportunity to share the gospel? I have, I remember several times, having no bible, but the holy spirit brought verse after verse to my attention.
This promise is true to us today in the 20th Century.
Two questions, although the holy spirit, brings things to our remembrance, we have to memorise and learn scripture, someone said our veins have to BIB LINED.. LINED WITH THE TRUTHS OF SCRIPTURE.
Have you ever shared the gospel, out on the street?
Have you ever been open air witnessing? Now I know this isn’t for everyone, but this is how I learnt.
It is scary, but the blessing is beyond words.
Ray Comfort said:
I go witnessing hanging my head, I come back clicking my heels.
Listen to what an atheist says about Christians who don’t share the gospel:
I do not believe that you Christians believe your own creed — for if you were persuaded that things really are as your Bibles teach, and that we poor lost people were really going to such a dreadful place as you say Hell is — then you would act more humanely toward us.
If you saw our houses on fire — you would run and help us to put the fire out; or if you saw us in danger of death — you would try to do something to save us. But you pretend to believe that we are going to Hell, and that Hell burns with fire and brimstone forever, and that once there we can never get out — and yet you talk to us about all sorts of things — but never say one word to us about saving our souls from this terrible doom!
So I have reasoned thus: either you Christians don’t believe what you say — or else you must be the most hardened and unfeeling wretches in the universe! Now, as I don’t believe that you are such cruel, hardened, and unfeeling people as this supposes — then I must conclude that, with all your talk — you Christians don’t really believe what your Bibles teach!
For if you really believe what you say about sin, and Hell, and our danger — then you would act differently; and if you have a spark of kindness in your hearts — you would try to save us from such a dreadful doom. And, on the other hand, if you do not believe what you profess — then you Christians cannot be honest; and to say the least, there must be a great deal of hypocrisy among you.
Now, I honestly tell you that these are the things which have stumbled me more than anything, and until I can see you Christians act differently — I will not be persuaded to believe what your sort of folks say.
