We can bring Kingdom living to people.
But not having all kinds of “qualifications” under your belt does NOT exclude you from sharing your story and sharing JESUS to your world
When you go and share your story…..how you were healed….how you were set free from poverty….how you were set free from unforgiveness, and anger….how your marriage was put back together…..how your relationship with your children was reconciled…..how the Lord did miracle after miracle after miracle for you…..people will marvel
you’ll be a missionary!

We can’t send our world away hungry.

We have to bring them the Kingdom of God.
I’m going to be preaching on the Kingdom of God next week….you don’t want to miss it.
We have to bring them life and life more abundantly.
