00:00:00.901 --> 00:00:08.714
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Commission Thrive, where every believer is a witness of Christ, an ambassador of Christ and the salt and the light of the world.

00:00:08.714 --> 00:00:11.849
<v Speaker 1>I'll begin by asking a question Are you ready?

00:00:11.849 --> 00:00:19.073
<v Speaker 1>Today we are reading from the book of Matthew, chapter 9, verse 37.

00:00:19.073 --> 00:00:40.572
<v Speaker 1>And that, yet it say that If you are a believer, you have the Holy Spirit in you and you have the ability to go and reach out to win souls.

00:00:40.572 --> 00:00:47.801
<v Speaker 1>And so the Bible is reminding us that the harvest is plentiful, so we don't have an excuse.

00:00:47.801 --> 00:00:57.383
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you are asking yourself a question that is it a must that I go outside there and preach the word of God?

00:00:58.064 --> 00:01:00.790
<v Speaker 1>In your neighbors we have people who don't know Christ.

00:01:00.790 --> 00:01:02.762
<v Speaker 1>So that is the mission field.

00:01:02.762 --> 00:01:13.189
<v Speaker 1>There is a quote that says that every heart with Christ is a missioner and every heart without Christ is a mission field.

00:01:13.189 --> 00:01:17.304
<v Speaker 1>So those people who don't know Christ, they're the mission field.

00:01:17.304 --> 00:01:25.289
<v Speaker 1>So it can be your neighbor, people whom you work with in your workplace, in your business.

00:01:25.289 --> 00:01:27.989
<v Speaker 1>So those are the people that don't know Christ.

00:01:27.989 --> 00:01:37.790
<v Speaker 1>So we have been called to reach out to those people so that they can receive Christ, because, again, the harvest is plenty but the laborers are few.

00:01:37.811 --> 00:01:38.531
<v Speaker 1>So are you ready?

00:01:38.531 --> 00:01:47.483
<v Speaker 1>So you have to be ready so that you can proclaim the gospel of God, because we have the ability, yes, and the ability comes from God only.

00:01:47.483 --> 00:01:55.522
<v Speaker 1>So, as Christians, we have the ability to reach out to others, and the ability comes from God.

00:01:55.522 --> 00:01:59.412
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't come from us, but God has given us the ability.

00:01:59.412 --> 00:02:00.740
<v Speaker 1>So we don't have an excuse.

00:02:00.740 --> 00:02:07.084
<v Speaker 1>As long as you are a believer, you have to preach the word of God, and we have different abilities and talents.

00:02:07.084 --> 00:02:13.323
<v Speaker 1>So be reminded that you are supposed to go outside there and proclaim the word of God.

00:02:13.323 --> 00:02:18.054
<v Speaker 1>Have a wonderful time, shalom, have a good day, be blessed.
