WITNESS as an AMBASSADOR

Dear Family, Friends, and Visitors,

I want to help build the Kingdom of God and and help SAVE LOST SOULS. I titled this Witness as an Ambassador and thought I would also post the definitions of both and also discuss them as I am never short of words:

AMBASSADOR - A diplomatic agent of the highest rank, sent by one sovereign or state to another either as resident representative or on temporary special service; an authorized messenger or representative

WITNESS - to see or know by personal presence and perception; to be present at as a formal witness or otherwise;to bear witness to; testify to; give or afford evidence of; to attest by ones signature; a person or thing that affords evidence

I think that is COOL about the temporary special service and it truly captures the WALK WITH JESUS in this WORLD, serving as a agent, a representative or an authorized messenger to spread the good news, make disciples, and BUILD a kingdom for his name sake.

Notice I say WALK, because that is exactly what it is, a walk through this valley of the shadow of death or a wicked world and it is also a world that will sidetrack us and lead us away from being an Ambassador. I am glad it is only temporary, because in my walk, I tend to stumble, as we all will but in different forms, showing our weakness and need for a savior.

Most of us have that spirit of the fight and want to be that Ambassador for Christ, for GOOD vs evil, LOVE vs hate, or all of the spiritual character opposites especially when we first become a follower of Jesus we tend to be an over zealous evangelist and forget the meaning of being a witness.

The first couple of years in my walk I got a little caught up in being a Christian and sharing the gospel I was even told that I preach too much, imagine that. I got so caught up in being something, an Ambassador , that I forgot to truly witness or to share the presence of GOD and provide evidence of the grace of GOD. After all I was a believer in Christ now, I had it made and nothing was ever wrong, I didn't need to to ask for prayer, I didn't need the support of other believers.

In turn I wasn't sharing how God was getting me through the tough times and testifying to the account and being a TRUE witness. In order to be able to testify as an Ambassador, we need the evidence and ability to attest by ones own signature, meaning our character, our approach to others, and most importantly our motives for being Ambassador.

Here are some questions to ask and share with ALL, to Witness as an Ambassador:


- Have you discovered the grace of God?

Yes, He loves me, He cherishes me, we talk daily about my family, my friends and building HIS Kingdom. We also talk about how to reach LOST SOULS and glorify HIM for his name sake. Even when I don't always do the right things or neglect being the person that He created me to be He will never LEAVE ME or Disappoint ME.

- Have you ever felt burdened and weighed down by sin?


- Have you ever felt guilt and shame, but didn't know what to do about it?

All of us know what is RIGHT vs wrong and when we do the wrong things, we usually are convicted of those things innately or spiritually. C.S. Lewis, a brilliant theologian talked about being born with the ability to know the difference at birth in a great book called Mere Christianity.

Since we are all sinners, we are going to do the wrong things, and the good news is, there is no condemnation in the Lord Jesus Christ. He will always LOVE YOU, CHERISH YOU, and NEVER LEAVE YOU no matter what you have done. Seek Him and hang on to that PROMISE. By the GRACE OF GOD we have been SAVED, because we repent of our sins without condemnation. It is by GRACE that we are saved.

- Do you know how to be reconciled to your True Loving Father and experience the blessings of heaven?

It truly is such a RELIEF when I realized that I didn't have to do this alone. I don't have to drive the car of my own life in this wicked world. We have a Savior in the name of Jesus Christ, accept him into your heart, truly believe and find reconciliation.

I truly need the Lord and no matter how many times I try to take the steering wheel of life, I always end up screwing it up. My love affair for the Lord involves more than just accepting, it involves prayer, talking to Him daily throughout the day and slowly building a relationship with Him. It involves reading His word, using the tools He Has put in place for us, having fellowship with other believers, loving others out of gratitude and not arrogance, serving each other out of love and not self righteousness.


- Have you experienced the embrace of our True Loving God?

- Do you know the fullness of life available to you in Jesus Christ?

- Have you experienced the joy of newness of life?

- Do you know the Prince of peace who quiets all stress and strife in your life?

- Do you have any questions about God or things I can pray for you concerning?

- What is the best thing and the worst thing you have ever heard about God?

- Have you ever known religion and religious people to misrepresent the HEART of God?

- How do you and your family feel about God?

Are we truly WITNESSING as an AMBASSADOR or building God's Kingdom if WE are NOT asking these questions of people and sharing OUR FAITH and why he have this FAITH.

Thank you Lord for the tool of witnessing to use as a sword in our special service as an ambassador for You and this opportunity to share YOUR WORD through my testimonies and the message of the gospel to friends, family, and visitors, in YOUR name Jesus Christ, amen.
