One of the fruits of the Holy Spirit-filled life is an earnest desire to be used of God to share JESUS and HIS MESSAGE with others. Our methods of doing this may vary, but as we follow the Holy Spirit’s guidance, the results and fruits will be to the extension and building up of the Kingdom of Christ. The work of the Holy Spirit is to get every one of us involved in the doing of the will of God from our heart, and in the supernatural power which He gives. Without His power and enabling in our lives ~ and in our ministries ~ there can never be the fulfillment of that which God has saved/redeemed us for.

I believe The GFM Ministry has been raised up of God to encourage and inspire people just like you, to let Him use you more and more for His glory, so you can lay hold of the promises of His Living Word and Holy Spirit by faith. YOU HAVE “come to the kingdom for such a time as this”(Esther 4:14)!

• This IS YOUR DAY to serve God like you have never served Him before!

My Friend, release the power of the Holy Spirit that is within you, and “break forth (“expand”) on the right hand, and on the left” (Isaiah 54:1-10). This is not a time for complacency, or even excuses. There is a harvest to be reaped, and it is “all hands to the task”!

The burden on my heart is to make people aware of the need to spread the Gospel of grace far and wide, even to every nation! Be challenged to get involved in the sending out of God’s delivering Word and Holy Spirit! The Bible declares that “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18, KJV). And, remember this, if we Christians do not have a personal vision in God, then our lives are in a state of perishing as well! “The Message” Bible puts it this way: “If people can’t see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; but when they attend to what He reveals, they are most blessed.” We all need a vision ~ a vision that is large enough to cause us to reach out to rescue others from perishing. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is much more than an ability to be able to speak in “other tongues” (Acts 2:1-4) ~ it is a baptism of power to enable us to be living witnesses to the truth of the risen Jesus Christ(Luke 24:44-49; Acts 1:8)! Have we forgotten that? Think (for a moment) on the great vision of Jesus: “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work . . . Behold I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest” (John 4:27-38). Jesus also made sure that His disciples knew that “the fields” represented ALL THE WORLD (Matthew 13:38). That is a BIG VISION ~ but it is the kind of vision that JESUS wants YOU and ME to embrace.

Right now, ask yourself what changes and adjustments need to be made in order for us to be greater “workers together with Him” (2 Corinthians 6:1). The harvest is waiting. The fruit must not be lost! What are we doing about it? ~ Rodney W. Francis.
