Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and, if true, is of infinite importance.
The one thing it cannot be is moderately important." 

- C.S. Lewis

May I Pray For You?

Consider if you were going to leave your family, how important your last words would be. Jesus’ final words, found in Matthew 28: 19-20… “YOU GO… into all the world and preach the Gospel to all of creation”. These were the last words He spoke before ascending to the Father.

Jesus also gave an addendum to this final commandment, saying “First, I want you to go to Jerusalem and wait for the Holy Spirit to come upon you”. This was important because before we go, we need the Holy Spirit to equip, empower, energize and prepare us to do exploits for God.

COMFORT ZONES

The church building (or your organization) has become our comfort zone - You go to church and you are with people that are like-minded in heart. Similar values. It’s comfortable.

We even speak the same language, and it’s not English or Spanish… it is "Christianeze”. 

If you asked “Are you under the blood?” In church, we would all know what that is about. Say that in Times Square and people would think you were a terrorist.

If we as Christians were a football team, we would constantly be getting penalized for spending too much time “in the huddle”. We need to be involved in ACTION… the passing, kicking, running, catching.

It is much more comfortable to hang out with Christians than sinners

Jesus was in Heaven before he took human flesh and came to earth. He was willing to come to this cursed earth and suffer. He was misunderstood. He suffered greatly. People tried and ended up killing him.

Why did He come? Because he wanted to provide for you and I the salvation that we enjoy. And then He said to his followers, “As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.”

So you and I have the same commission that Jesus had… to leave our comfort zones and go to the unbelievers and share with them the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ… the Love of God.

Let me share a couple of ideas here, both from Luke chapter 8:

LUKE 8:4-8
The Parable of the Sower
And when a great crowd was gathering and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable, “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the air devoured it. And some fell on the rock, and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it. And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded a hundredfold.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

LUKE 8:16-18
A Lamp Under a Jar
“No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest, nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light. Take care then how you hear, for to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he thinks that he has will be taken away.”

Think of yourself in these two passages... When you are hearing the good word of God in training, what are you doing with it? Are you trampling it underfoot as you walk away, without a moment's thought? Is the word dying in your head because there is no moisture... no consideration of it? Or maybe combining it with other distractions that erase it from your mind. Or... are you taking the time to consider and yielding fruit? A hundred fold?

Romans 10:14 ESV‬
 - How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed?
 - And how are they to believe in Him of whom they have never heard?
 - And how are they to hear without someone preaching?

Here's a quick overview of the Prayer Station models you may be setting up and using in the field.
