UNCOMMEN: FreedomSample

Speaking The Good News

We are ending our devotion on freedom by discussing our ability to speak the Good News of Jesus to others with Truth and Grace. I love reading the following in Isaiah:

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me

Do we live our lives as if the Spirit of the Lord God is upon us? I know more times than not, I do not live that way.

The Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings

Do we understand that we have been anointed to preach good tidings? See the Great Commission (Matthew 28: 16-20)

To proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound

Do we know we can speak on the topic of freedom to captives? If there was ever a year in which people needed to hear about freedom from prison, it's in 2020.

As you can see, not only are we to experience freedom in Jesus, but we are to speak it to others. I believe we all understand we are free to speak the good news to others. The problem is that sometimes we are afraid to. Here are some ways to share the  good news.:

• Write stories, blog articles or write a book
• Serve in areas where people are more receptive to hearing the Word
• Become a mentor and weave your faith into your counseling
• Read the Bible and learn how to communicate with others who need to hear the Good News
• Find a mentor who may be able to help you grow in this area
• Pray for wisdom and courage to speak when the time comes

I pray that each of us starts to live our lives with the freedom we've spoken about in this Devotion (Location, Trust, Choices, Love, and Speech)

Uncommen Questions

Do you experience the freedom to share the Good News of Christ Jesus with others?

Are you the one that needs to be set free? If so, please visit our website and read about becoming a believer in Christ Jesus.

Uncommen Challenge

I challenge both of us to remember that if we know Jesus as our Savior, the Spirit of the Lord is upon us. We are free to speak the good news.
