Calling a Spade a Diamond

Brother Matthew Gallant

Do more then tell it like it is, tell it like it could and should be. See the world through faith, proclaiming Jesus and the Gospel. 2 Cor 4 Seeing beyond the surface. Are you using the spade to dig a grave or digging for diamonds. See beyond the dirt. Do not lose heart; refuse to tamper with God's word. 1. See beyond the gimmicks and see the gospel 2 Cor 8:12 2. See beyond the blinded - the lost- beyond those who do not want to hear. People should be ready to hear the gospel. 3. See beyond the problems to the promise. you will have problems but don't focus on them keep your eyes and focus on Christ, He will not forsake. a. the promise of power (belongs to God) b. promise of perseverance - cast down, not destroyed; not forsaken; troubled 4. See beyond the external to see the internal. you need to be vocal-speak up! Do not lose heart. Your heart is renewed daily. your trials are temporary - heaven is eternal. Do you have faith? you must see beyond the surface; beyond the dirt to stand on god's promise. We cannot fix what is broken we mst allow God, Jesus to fix the lost and the broken. He is faithful and will fix and heal. Claim God's power and presence. Go where God leads you, allow Him to do the work, be His vessel.
