Raising up the Evangelist
The topic of evangelism has been on my heart for sometime as I know that I was stunted in that area for a long time as result of the spiritual abuse I’d went through when I was younger. Also, I had no idea where I could send someone where they would be in a healthy church environment. Now this was a grief to me because when I was first saved and not indoctrinated in these winds of the doctrines of men, I was a soul winner and a witness for the Lord wherever I went. I’ve been longing to enter into that again but I realized that the church has been in need of restoration and reformation in order for me to get back to that phase. Just this week, the Lord sent me a dream where I saw myself lying in the secret place of the most high God and it was like I was also in the middle of a church service. I heard myself preach an evangelistic message and after I did this I was literally raised up to my feet…I didn’t get up like someone normally would but I was raised up like an unseen force raised me up. Then I saw myself speaking to the pastor there during the service and then it was over. I felt the Lord was saying, “Now, I am raising up the evangelist.” I found myself the evening following the dream at this service and giving the message to †his pastor that God is raising up †he evangelist. Today, while in a Sunday service in a different church, a minister rose up and delivered a word from the Lord about an encounter he had last night concerning the fire of evangelism returning to the church and that it was going to be as easy as breathing for us to do. His word was lengthier and was a great encouragement to me that I was indeed hearing from the Lord and that what I had been praying for is now about to come to pass. I long to be a fruitful vine again in the Lord and win souls for him as a means of expressing my love and gratitude to him for what he has done for me. Also, I know what it’s like to be lost and lonely and without hope and I want others to experience the goodness and salvation of the Lord as well. I believe that this word is for the body and bride of Christ at large so those of you who seek the Lord, so don’t be surprised if you find this happening to you as well. I’m excited about all that the Lord is doing in his people.
