Love is the true spirit of evangelism. We should warn people about the danger of hell as if they were our own children walking on the brink of a volcano.- Reinhard Bonnke

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother. (1:1)
Paul is writing with tremendous spiritual authority. He is writing as an ‘apostle’, literally, ‘a sent one’ of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ actually sent Paul out by divine revelation. Paul has learned to know the voice of the Lord, and the Lord has entrusted Paul with a lot of responsibilty. Paul is not an apostle because he wanted to be, but because God chose him to be. It was the will of God.
Revival in China
Dennis Balcombe
Dennis Balcombe is senior pastor of Revival Christian Church in Hong Kong and regularly ministers in China.
A real Christian would naturally be very interested in revival and awakening. In recent years, certain streams have begun in the Body of Christ which have had considerable influence in a short time. One thing is clear, intelligence alone is no defense against deception – no matter who is right. My personal view is that we should major on majors, and minor on minors.
Unbelief is a spirit which causes people to reject what God says is true. The more we can get unbelief concerning God’s promises out of our own hearts, the more we will be effective in destroying it in those who do not yet believe. Unbelief binds the hand of God. It is one of the worst enemies to deal with.
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against
spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12)
Real Christians are involved in a spiritual conflict. This is a fight in which guns and tanks are of no use. Paul said, “we do not wrestle against flesh and blood”. The conflict is not with people, or nations, but with Satan and his demons. We need to recognise that many times when people oppose us, the reason behind it is spiritual.
The central message of Jesus Christ was the message of “the Kingdom of God” or “the Kingdom of Heaven”. This message, when understood, is the most relevant message for the needs of humanity. It is a highly attractive message, and will produce the greatest results of any message one could give. This message must once again become the central theme of preachers and teachers in these last days.
When the message of the Kingdom of God is given correctly, the results will be dramatic, just as they were for our Lord and for the apostles of our Lord.
I go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Mk 16.15
I am very careful, then, how I live. I live not as unwise, but as wise. I decide to make the most of every evangelistic opportunity, because the days are evil.
Eph 5.15
I go into all the world and make disciples of all the peoples, baptising them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and I teach them to obey the commandments of Jesus Christ. Mt 28.18 – 28.20
I am as bold as a lion.
It was December 2nd, 2001, and I was speaking at a five day crusade in the Indian city of Bijapur, in northern Karnataka. As I climbed the steps to the stage on the last day, my eyes surveyed the massive crowd filling the ground. My heart was moved with compassion and I felt a tremendous excitement.
As I looked around at all those people, a pastor next to me asked me incredulously how it was that thousands had gathered here. He told me: “Bijapur is well-known as one of the toughest cities in the state of Karnataka, and no preacher has ever managed to get through to the people before.
I had the joy of attending some gospel meetings in Kalyan, Maharashta, India, not far from Mumbai city (Bombay). A group of about 30 independent pastors of small churches had organized these gospel meetings. Everyone was surprised by the attendance. The three days of meetings grew from perhaps 10,000 to 40,000 people by the end, although the police estimate for the final meeting was as high as 50,000.
The meetings were very lively with music and worship of the Lord Jesus Christ. The evangelist, P.S. Rambabu, announced after he came on that Jesus Christ would do miracles in the crowd.
