LUKE 113-17 BEING PREGNANT WITH LIFE on 1 Corinthians 1 - 3 years ago
When I was a teenager, I went to a Catholic church with a friend. I wasn't greeted; I wasn't told to dress a certain way. It was in Latin; I didn't hear anything I could respond to or understand. People were kneeling, standing, kneeling, almost robotic. Then we all left. There was nothing memorable about the whole experience. My friend said I'd have to take classes and I said, "no thanks!" I had seen enough.
Years later I was born again and with zeal, went into street evangelizing right away. I had to tell everyone "about a Man, who knew all about my life." Like the woman at the well.
I remember, from the sidewalks, seeing the Catholics drive by their Church and raise their beers and laughing, as they drove by.
Some called out the priest's names.
I was really out there doing the work of an evangelist. Jesus was with me, helping me to slow down an unbeliever long enough to tell them "of a Man who loves them and can tell them the words of their life.
The Catholics were in cars, driving and drinking, and unreachable, by me and others who were out working the Harvest with the Holy Spirit.
One of the attributes of the Born Again experience, is a Desire, to tell other people what Jesus has done for You. We're to be fruitful and multiply. It's part of our DNA now. My works will go through the Fire of Jesus's Love some future day; and all the wood, hay and stubble will burn away. I'm ready for the Bema Seat of Jesus Christ.
For a fact, I know of many, many, Catholics who are confused and do not understand their religion: they were born and "baptized" into, as an infant. They do not really experience the the fire of Jesus's love for them. Spend a Friday night on a sidewalk out in front of your Church, sometime. Go ye, where your parishioners are gathered.
If you can't multiply and bear fruit for Jesus,
you might be like Elizabeth:a barren womb. It requires the impending birth of Jesus into our Lives, to make us FRUITFUL.

Have you given birth?
