Open Wide Thy Mouth
 
The time is short. We have to step up, take the bull by the horns and speak to people we come in contact with each and every day. It is easy to spread your wings while in church or at fellowships. So why is it sooo hard to open the mouth when out and about in the world?

Every day you pass by people who are headed for hell, and yet you say nothing. Don't you care? Or are you afraid to speak to them about heaven, hell, and righteousness? Or worse yet, are you ashamed of the gospel?

Take a survey of yourself; when was the last time you spoke to a stranger, or anyone about the Lord? When was the last time YOU witnessed to someone, anyone?

From the pulpit to the back pew, we all must witness daily for the time is short. For some of us it is shorter than what we may think. Isn't it wise to be doing the kingdom business daily? Isn't it faithfulness to be about the Father's business? Will He find you daily faithfully witnessing to the lost (outside of the church building)?

The Holy Ghost makes you a witness, you do have what it takes to talk to lost sinners every day. You are called to be His witness! You have the Holy Ghost, the fire burning inside of you is yearning to spill out of you to others.

Get up. Get out and experience the beautiful feeling that comes from doing the very thing that is the heart of the reason of why you are here. Witnessing! Witnessing, c'mon man, c'mon woman, open wide thy mouth and be the vessel that Jesus will use to reach the one He died and rose again for. Yes, it is those persons YOU daily come in contact with.

ANATHEMA, MARANATHA!
