Contagious Faith (continued)
There are 4 things a contagious Christian walks in #1is when they find abundance
or realize they have more than enough they give away what they have are you hearing that there is enough kidneys in this world 8000 people die a year of kidney failure there are 8000 people that could do the same thing and we could eliminate that problem yeah but I might need that boy you don’t know how many times I've heard that Aren’t you glad you didn’t hear that? Let’s give the Lord a great hand
of Praise.
#1 a contagious Christian will find an abundance and share it with folks that don’t have it. Come on let me show you where the breads at and their grabbing hold of whoever they can find.
We started a Hispanic service this morning at the old school we had 57 there this morning My Man Salvador is interpreting and doing a fine job people used to say you must be crazy why do you wanna go down there and put all that time in that thing...cause I saw a vision I want you to know there is bread down there for somebody they may be Hispanic may come out of Mexico may not have a green card but bless God they've got a soul and they need Jesus in their life that’s what your talking about in contagious Christianity, desiring to reach everyone..
#2 the attributes of a contagious Christian is the fact that Paul says in 2 Corinthians that you are ambassadors for Christ Let me share something with you I'll be real brief Let me share this , Do you know what an ambassador is he represents a country scripture says you are in this world but your not of this world do you know what’s wonderful about an ambassador an ambassador has all rule and authority of his country at his command you missed it right there he has the entire army of that country at his command from the time a person becomes an ambassador he never owes another bill he never makes another payment from that day on everything he eats doesn’t cost him a dime whatever he drives doesn’t cost him a penny wherever he lives he lives for free and that’s for the rest of his life once he becomes ambassador has all the wealth of the country at his disposal now watch this but an ambassador isn’t gonna ask for all the wealth of his country he’s gonna ask for what’s necessary to reach the people he was sent to reach so the 2nd thing is being an ambassador for Christ
#3 you have all the promises of heaven to share with everyone you’ll ever see all the promise of glory #4 the blessing of being a contagious Christian and if you’ve never done it I am gonna tell you its the greatest experience you'll ever have in your life is this one thing, leading someone to Jesus Come with me I'll show you where the bread at Come with me I'll show you where it is Come with me I have found a great thing.. You have the blessing, the blessing of saying come on I'll show you where the breads at that the blessing of reaching into someone’s life like that say you don’t have to live like that anymore come on I'll show you where the bread is and once you start doing it you'll never stop Once you are ever serious in your service to the Lord You’ll never stop I witness to everybody I see in a store on a street corner
Everywhere you can imagine I spend my time witnessing and talking to people about Jesus I was in a restaurant the other day with Jarred and the hostess said how many we told her I went to shake her hand and asked her how’s your walk with the Lord she said mines Fine how’s your what a blessin’ She was serious she was not being smart She could’ve just as easily said I don’t know him and broke down . it blessed my heart what an answer mines fine how is yours What a blessing#4 attribute of being a contagious Christian is having the desire to reach the lost I am not the most eloquent speaker as I am sure you have figured out I tie up my words and get tongue tied in some of the things that I say I have been known to cuss at the pulpit not on purpose my tongue gets tangled up and I can’t understand how I said that.
