STOP HAVING BABIES

STOP HAVING BABIES

Please, stop getting people to pray a prayer and telling them they are going to heaven. I was very specific in My instructions on dealing with the lost. I said, "Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, [20] Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the very close and consummation of the age. Amen (so let it be)."Matthew 28:19-20 (AMP)

First of all, you only hear the confession of their mouth and have no idea about what they believe. No one is saved by confession only, listen carefully, "if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Romans 10:9 (KJV) Most people do not want to go to hell, so to get them to repeat a few words is easy and means nothing with out believing.

Here is the issue, a woman who gives birth to a baby and then walks away leaving it to take care of itself, will go to prison for child neglect and murder if the baby dies. Yet thousands of believers, birth spiritual babies leaving them on the doorstep of the kingdom, and then walk away hoping they will feed themselves, or someone will find them. They are well aware "that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring in fierce hunger, seeking someone to seize upon and devour." 1 Peter 5:8 (AMP) The devourer is waiting to destroy the new borns, yet they are handed an instruction book, said farewell to, and sent out into devourer territory.

Discipleship is the same as parenting. It includes, feeding, cleaning up after, correction, setting guidelines, loving tenderness , patience, setting a good example, educating, and nurturing all the way to maturity. Here is the really bad part, when the babies are swallowed up, the church passes it off as insincerity on the part of the baby. No, no, no a thousand times no! They are babies that happen to have spiritually lazy, cruel and neglectful parents. "As newborn babes, (they) desire the sincere milk of the word, that (so they can) grow thereby:" 1 Peter 2:2 (KJV) But if no one feeds them, they will quickly be overcome by the evil one. To win them again is very difficult, because they develop an attitude of , "been there, done that" and I was devoured.

Praying a repeated prayer is only a tiny part of the journey to salvation. It's like packing a suitcase for a trip about to be taken. The believing, is most important. Confession is to follow believing because you confess what you believe. But before confession, must come repentance. Believing is a must but "I tell you,...unless you repent (change your mind for the better and heartily amend your ways, with abhorrence of your past sins), you will all perish and be lost eternally." Luke 13:5 (AMP)

Peter held our largest crusades with the most lasting conversions. Here was his altar call, which took place in the market place, are you ready for this; "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Acts 2:38 (KJV) All in one shot, repentance, water baptism and filled with the Holy Spirit in one call. No soft music, no heads bowed, they have either changed their mind or they haven't. It's a whole hearted decision, I want a new way of life!

This was the easy part, now the real work of mentoring them begins. First you must determining who is good soil and who is not "You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" Matthew 7:16 (KJV) don't waste time with thorns. Begin pouring your life into those showing and "bearing fruits that are deserving and consistent with their repentance, that is, conduct worthy of a heart changed, a heart abhorring sin." ... Luke 3:8 (AMP) Work with them as fast as possible, making disciples of all nations.

Let's do the numbers, if you have twenty people in January and have lead 500 people in a simple repeated prayer in the months that followed, and only have thirty people the following January, you are doing something wrong. I am not trying to make you feel bad but, too many babies were left to fend for themselves and were chewed up by the devourer or hopefully someone else picked them up and discipled them. After the seed is sown and it is watered I can bring forth the increase, it is easy to sow but the watering, cultivating, weeding means you are going to get wet and dirty. Most western believers are a sower of some sort, but I only have a handful of mentors, because they will not "lay down their lives for the brethren." 1 John 3:16 (KJV)

If you are not willing to get your hands dirty then stop having babies. Sow seed, but do not lead them in a prayer and tell them they are going to heaven. It takes time for the fruits of repentance to show. Tell them they have made a step toward salvation and if they believe in their heart they will soon know, as watering process begins, and I begin to bring forth the increase.
