How easy is it to proclaim God's word? All we have to do is whatever He tells us to, that's it. Literally the only thing we need to do is follow what He says to the '-T.' Now I can't speak for the divine, however I can almost guarantee that if you do whatever it is He's calling you to do, you will be greatly rewarded. So if it's so easy then why are there so few people doing it? Excuses. Free-will, ego, and not trusting God. Free-will is the thing that allows us to not be mindless robots, (an ability that society is slowly taking away) our 'ego' is what we get when we take free-will for granted and mix it with societal views, and lack of trust is pretty self explanatory. So if we take this relatively simple task God asks us to do, tell the world about Him, and look at it through our human eyes it suddenly becomes complicated. We make excuses when He calls us to spread the word and our free-will gets in the way, "I'd rather play video games than tell people about God." or our ego is too big, "I can't do that, people will think I'm some bible thumping weirdo!" {GOOD!!} or maybe we just straight up don't trust God "No one would listen to me, I'm not a good speaker and I wouldn't know what to say." (I'd just like to point out that Moses wasn't a very good speaker either but he led the Israelites out of slavery from Pharaoh [Exodus chapter 3&4]) Now we've got a seemingly impossible mission with all of these obstacles between us and our goal.
First, that ego has got to go, my #1 prayer is to become someone who is fearless in their faith so I can proclaim the Gospel at all times and if that labels me as a weirdo, I'm cool with that. Second, we need to re-route our free-will self motivation plays a big part in that. If we take a passive approach to our motivation that can end up being our number one downfall. Changing our free-will approach and being more self motivated can be the number one help we have. Lastly, trust in God. Placing complete trust in God is quite possibly the hardest step in any spiritual journey and at the same time is the most pertinent. It is so difficult because the devil like to play games and make us think we don't deserve our calling or cannot carry out such a task, but I'm here to tell you the devil has NO power over us because Jesus gave His life for our salvation. So, with that bit of information, help from a spiritual mentor, and lots of prayer we can overcome our human inhibitions and move forward to, for, and with God.
God is Good
