All around us there are lost souls who sense a deep inner hunger for their Maker and just need a little help from those of us who are already known of the LORD.
YOUR PRAYER: Father, please make me a consummate soul winner, in Jesus’ name, amen.
As was the case with the Ethiopian eunuch, people still in darkness just need a helping hand from a caring disciple. Could it be that when it comes to winning the lost, perhaps we complicate things?
As you read this passage below, you will notice that it says of the Ethiopian eunuch that “he went on his way rejoicing” after Jesus saved him.
Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch – Acts 8
26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
The LORD guided His servant Philip to this man who had been pondering the things of God as so many around us are doing also. But this Ethiopian couldn’t understand due to still being in the darkness of sin – “How can I, except some man should guide me?” He just needed a little assistance and that’s where we come in. Philip guided the searching man in the Holy Scriptures. Christ was the grand Subject – “Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.”
At the murder of Stephen (Acts 7:54-60) and associated persecution against the followers of Jesus, they were “scattered abroad” to accomplish the Great Commission which is done by preaching the Word of the saving Gospel of Christ (Matthew 28;18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 24:47-49).
“Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.” Acts 8:4
Of these events recorded for us in Acts chapter 8, Adam Clarke noted:
“They were all scattered abroad – except the apostles – Their Lord had commanded them, when persecuted in one city, to flee to another: this they did, but, wherever they went, they proclaimed the same doctrines, though at the risk and hazard of their lives. It is evident, therefore, that they did not flee from persecution, or the death it threatened; but merely in obedience to their Lord’s command. Had they fled through the fear of death, they would have taken care not to provoke persecution to follow them, by continuing to proclaim the same truths that provoked it in the first instance. … One of the fathers has well observed, that ‘these holy fugitives were like so many lamps, lighted by the fire of the Holy Spirit, spreading every where the sacred flame by which they themselves had been illuminated.’”
Are You Available? Do You Desire that the LORD use You?
The Good Samaritan stopped, dropped, got into the world of the hurting man – just like Jesus did when He left the glory of Heaven, came to this sin-cursed earth, and died a horrible death on a wooden cross to save, to rescue us, you! He came on a rescue mission and then sent you on a rescue mission. You are His very “ambassador.” (2 Corinthians 5:20)
Walking in the daily cross is essential to the raising up of Christ (2 Corinthians 4:10-12). God-glorifying soul winning, all ministry, comes out of the crucified life (Galatians 2:20).
“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” 1 Peter 3:15
Do you desire that God use you as He used Philip? If so, you must “be ready always to give an answer to every man” that the LORD would lead you to minister to. This necessitates walking in the Spirit and Word of God (Romans 8:14; 2 Timothy 2:15). As we do, the very Word of God needed for the individuals God sends us to, will flow from our lips.
“A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!” Proverbs 15:23
That “word in due season” is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. May God quicken a deep hunger in each of His children to walk in and speak His glorious truth into the hearing of searching souls around us. May He orchestrate those meeting which glorify Himself.
“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.” Proverbs 25:11
The LORD uses His people to plant the seed of His Word and water it, yet He alone can bring the increase of saved souls!
“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:6-9
Jessica Lynn Deubner shares: “The Lord has put a love in my heart for lost souls. My eyes are brand new, I look at a man’s eternal salvation above all. God does not desire that they perish, but come to repentance. ????“
Prayer: Holy Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus my Savior and LORD. LORD please use me. Stir up my inner man in seeking and being used of You in this late hour. Help me walk in the Spirit and please use me Jesus. Ordain conversations for sowing the seed of Your Word in Your love and also leading lost souls to You in salvation. Please make me a consummate soul winner in Your kingdom heavenly Father. I ask this in Jesus’ name.

Bible doctrine reveals that JUSTIFICATION must precede SANCTIFICATION. In light of this truth, let us not seek to scale a fish that is not yet in the boat. That’s what we do when we seek to get someone to quit sinning BEFORE they are even saved! Cease it. Let us give them the law in love so God can convict their conscience and bring them to Himself (Galatians 3:24). Begin there, quote 4-5 of the 10 Commandments and ask the sinner if they’ve committed that sin. Never try to get a sinner to stop his sin before he’s even saved. 100% futility. That won’t save him anyway, think about it…..
Is God going to save the fornicator is he/she stops fornicating? NO. Is God going to save the drunkard because he/she stops getting drunk? NO. …. see the point?
Prayer: Holy Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus my Savior and LORD. LORD please use me. Stir up my inner man in seeking and being used of You in this late hour. Help me walk in the Spirit and please use me Jesus. Ordain conversations for sowing the seed of Your Word in Your love and also leading lost souls to You in salvation. Please make me a consummate soul winner in Your kingdom heavenly Father. I ask this in Jesus’ name.

10 Truths to Behold in Isaiah 41:10 [podcast]
“Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not
cast thee away. 10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen
thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold
thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
Isaiah 41:9-10
There are 10 truths to behold in Isaiah 41:10:
• “Thou art my servant”
• “I have chosen thee”
• “and not cast thee away”
• “Fear thou not”
• “I am with thee”
• “be not dismayed”
• “for I am thy God”
• “I will strengthen thee”
• “I will help thee”
• “I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness”
The soul that prospers is that one who clings to, trusts in and
relies upon Christ alone, day by day, walking ever nearer to
the soon coming Savior. He is with us and promises to “never
leave thee, nor forsake thee”—that is, for those who abide
with Christ (Hebrews 13:5).
1 Peter 1
“Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
Prayer: Dear LORD, thank You for helping me today, and
continuing the good work of salvation You began in me the
moment You saved me. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Parenting and the Eternal Destiny of Your Child [podcast]
There’s no such thing as a Christian who is a parent and isn’t teaching their child(ren) God’s Word.
So you programmed and indoctrinated your own child to “go get an education” from a commie university, with nothing but antichrist’s as “professors”, who merely read and teach marxist textbooks full of every evil known to mankind. And yet you still wonder why they turned from Christ? – if you even taught them the Bible in the first place. Time for you to get saved. God holds you personally accountable for allowing and inviting evil upon the minds and hearts of the child(ren) He gave you temporary stewardship over. Judgment Day is on the way. Time to repent – before it’s too late.
Are you teaching your children God’s Word? (Proverbs 22:6)
Are you teaching your child to study God’s Word and get a biblical education? (2 Timothy 2:15)
The LORD didn’t say to “go to church” or make yourself or your children good church members. No. Repent, put your whole faith in Christ for salvation – then deny yourself, take up your cross daily and follow Jesus everyday to the end of your life. | Church Membership Exposed
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
No such thing as a Christian who doesn’t teach their own children God’s Word. No such thing. Anyone who claims to be a Christian and isn’t teaching their children the Word of God is an absolute fraud, 100% (Titus 1:16). Oh and teach them using the King James Bible – never mind your lame groundless excuses. That’s the whole problem (John 3:19-21).
Few things infuriate and evoke such indignation as this evil going on under the sun – and it’s going on in the lives of those who falsely claim to be saved. If such weren’t so pitiful, it’d be laughable.
Beloved of God, your child needs to see you worship and obey God… read His Word, pray, and minister to others – to serve God by serving others. Let them see Christ alive and working in you or you will simply produce another self-righteous religious pharisee. They will never forget how you served God with a pure heart and joy-filled spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).
God didn’t give you those children so you could exploit, use them to think you are so amazing. No, sinner, He commanded you to teach them His Word every day of their life, and train them up in His holy ways. If you didn’t/aren’t, that’s clear proof you are a hell bound unsaved counterfeit and wouldn’t know Jesus if He stood in your face.
“And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.” Deuteronomy 11:19
Read Deuteronoamy chapters 4, 6, 11.
“Ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law”
“And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.” Deuteronomy 32:46
Read that again and notice that we are to set our hearts upon the words of God and command our children also to observe them.
“If you don’t train your child at a young age how they should act and live, then Satan will. Make no mistake about that! You will be judged and held accountable at the judgement seat of Christ. Proverbs 22:6 in the King James Bible.” Charles Pray
“Correct thy son, and he shall give thee rest; yea, he shall give delight unto thy soul.” Proverbs 29:17
Being a “good” parent doesn’t mean you are a God-fearing, a godly parent. In reality, you are not a good parent if you are not training your child(ren) up in the pure Word of God. You prove to be a lost soul if such is the case. Repent now sinner. The Almighty will bring you into full account for how you’ve brought up HIS children.
Parenting and Eternal Life are Connected
“Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. 14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.” Proverbs 23:13-14
Unless our children learn to submit to and obey our authority, they will very likely never submit to the authority of their Maker before whom they shall stand in judgment.
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power (authority) is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” Matthew 28:18
Obey God and do not trust your own wicked heart: If you are not obeying God it’s because you do not fear Him and are in utter need of truly repenting now – before it’s too late.
Is your child born again and walking with Jesus?
Obey God’s Word concerning your children and crucify your own feelings:
“He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.” Proverbs 28:26
Chasten your child(ren) now – before it’s too late.
“Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.” Proverbs 19:18
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
“Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.” Proverbs 22:15
“The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.” Proverbs 29:15
“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.” 1 Corinthians 15:33
Some of the things children are to be taught be their parents in training them up in the right ways of the LORD …
- Read and memorize God’s Word (Proverbs 4:4; Revelation 1:3; 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-16; Colossians 3:16, etc.).
- Know the books of the Bible – Genesis to Revelation.
- That they are sinners. Give them the law, the 10 Commandments (Exodus 20: Romans 3).
- To know the 10 Commandments by memory (Exodus 20). This is a basic structure of what the LORD requires and what He calls sin.
- God requires that they obey – Him and their parents (Matthew 7:21; John 14:15; 1 John 2:3-6, etc.).
- How to be saved (Romans road; 3:10, 23; 6:23; 10:9-10, 13; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
- To love God and their neighbor – Golden Rule Living (Matthew 7:12).
- If you cant say something good, don’t say anything at all (Proverbs 17:27-28; James 3).
- Honor authority. Children learn this as they are taught to honor and obey their parents.
- To walk in utter integrity and honesty (Proverbs 20:7; Luke 8:15).
- To always be serving God and others ABS (Matthew 23:11; Acts 20:35)
- To help the poor (Proverbs 19:17; Galatians 2:10; James 1:27, etc.).
- To trust God no matter what the circumstances look like (Mark 10:27).
- To pray (Matthew 6:6-13, etc.).
- The beatitudes of Jesus at the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7).
- Eternal perspective (Proverbs 23:14; 2 Corinthians 4:16-18; Romans 8:18; 1 Corinthians 2:9; John 14:1-6).
- To praise the LORD with great joy. To praise and worship and sing to the LORD (Psalms 149; 150; Hebrews 13:15).
- To give thanksgiving to the LORD for everything they already have and what’s to come (Ephesians 5:20; Hebrews 13:5).
- That the joy of the LORD is their strength (Nehemiah 8:10).
- Teach them to read (Revelation 1:3).
- Teach them consistency – to finish what they start, to endure to the end (Matthew 10:22; 24:13, etc.).
