Hello all! Hope all is well with everyone. Things here in Perth are fantastic. It's been a little chilly past couple of days, ya know only like high sixties, low seventies :) But seriously it has been pretty nice, and has reminded me of home. Especially since we got some rain two days in a row...AMEN!
This time I felt like I should maybe type out some notes from the lecture this past week. The topic was evangelism. He kind of jumped around, and didn't stay on topic, but it was perfect. Seriously the best week.. which I'll explain later Here we go...
-God will offend your mind, to reveal your heart -To grow in Jesus, you need to work from the inside out -My generation isn't the generation of tomorrow, its the generation of today! -A testimony always beats a argument--Be real with people -It's not about converting people, its about telling them -What you plant, is what you'll grow. If you plant filth, it will come out. -People can tell when you are "marketing" Jesus. Evangelism must flow out of the reality of our lives -Process of evangelism...
1) Keep it to the main point 2) Don't argue 3) Talk about things that are real to you 4) Have some humor 5) Be Un-shockable to what people might confess or tell you about their life 6) Don't get too intense in the beginning, just keep it light 7) Love people 8) Be mindful of the questions asked
-A revival is a divine attack on society -Read Matt 24... compare it to now.
So here are two videos describing what I am feeling...

Wow - such profound growth is taking place - praise the Lord! Thank you for sharing your heart and being open. Your words are encouraging and convicting. God is already using you and will do so much more in these coming weeks (and beyond)!
ReplyDeleteAnne - you are inspiring me.
ReplyDeleteI watched both of your turning point videos on youtube, and wow - I can see such a beautiful change in you. You definitely are not the Anne I knew in High School, and that is a great thing, I can see how much God is working in you and your life.
I'm so impressed that you are doing such good with your life right now. You know, I am jealous in a way. I am now pretty tied down with a house payment and all my other bills, and I'm terribly scared that I won't do anything amazing with my life. I'm still hoping that I will, I'm just terrified that I won't or won't be able to. But you know, you give me hope to look ahead to see what God has in store, because maybe I won't do anything too amazing, but maybe I will at least change the lives of a few while I am on this earth.
Thanks for giving me hope.
I love you and miss you Anne!
