John 4:35 says, “Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest ‘? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest.”

I believe the fields are white unto harvest right now.

Getting the message of Jesus out to our community has never been as easy as it is right now. I know that we are having to physically keep our distance from others just to be safe. But, we are not under any obligation to keep our spiritual distance at all. Your family, friends, co-workers, and community are poised and primed to hear a message of hope. 

It is vital that you feel a sense of urgency to seize the moment of opportunity to speak up and speak out to the people in your circle of influence. Please participate in the critical Kingdom work of inviting people to worship, study the bible with you, pray with you, contribute financially with you, sing songs of praise with you. Obviously, with our current situation, we have to be creative in how we can speak up and speak out. However, we can and should still be just as evangelistic as ever. Satan wants us to be thinking about all the things that we can’t do, but let’s defeat that demonic doctrine, and let’s get to work on the things that we can do. 

We can:

  1. Speak up and speak out by getting on the phone and talking to people about the Scriptures.
  2. Speak up and speak out by texting people about Jesus. 
  3. Speak up and speak out on social media by sharing our North Heights community Facebook page.
  4. Speak up and speak out by sending someone the link to our Youtube channel so they can see and hear our worship, bible studies, discussions, devotionals, and other fun stuff. 
  5. Speak up and speak out by sending an encouraging letter or card in the mail. 
  6. Speak up and speak out by keeping a positive attitude and saying thank you to those that are serving our communities. 
  7. Speak up and speak out in your own living room with your own family by talking and discussing the scriptures.

We can speak up & speak out!

Even in the face of obstacles, we are obligated to speak up and speak out. 

One of my favorite verses today is Acts 5:42. Look how it is written in all these versions: 

NASB – And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they kept right on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ

KJV  And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ

NIV – Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.

ESV – And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching that the Christ is Jesus.

We can speak up & speak out!

KEEP RIGHT ON!

CEASE NOT!

NEVER STOP!

SPEAK UP & SPEAK OUT!

I love you,
