I AM LOOKING FOR BACK SEAT DRIVERS

I AM LOOKING FOR BACK SEAT DRIVERS

In the natural world a backseat driver is annoying and usually pushes the driver to a point of utter frustration, ending in offering the wheel to them! However the back seat driver on a fire ladder truck is a totally different story! Without the back seat driver pedestrians would be killed, and property damage would be extensive. In the kingdom they are a necessity too.  "In the end, everyone who calls upon Me, invoking Me as Lord, will be saved. [14] But how are they to call upon Me, whom they have not believed in? And how are they to believe in Me, if they have never heard of Me? And tell Me how are they suppose to hear of Me without a preacher? [15] And how can the preacher be expected to preach unless he is sent by someone behind the scenes, like a a back seat driver? As it is written, How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings! How welcome is the coming of those who preach the good news of My good things!" Romans 10:13-15 

The fireman driving the ladder truck, can step on the gas and steer in the right direction, but he is depending on the back seat driver to bring up the rear or he will never make it! The kingdom backseat drivers are the facilitators that fix the engines, fill the gas tanks, buy and prepare the food, drive the trucks and buses, run the sound, and set up and clean up. Without them My kingdom stops dead in its tracks. "So My Father in His wisdom has set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, HELPS, governments, diversities of tongues." 1 Corinthians 12:28 True Helpers are actually gifts from above to help establish My kingdom on earth. Without  a helper, how does the missionary feed and clothe the orphan? Without someone to provide him with the physical food and clothes, he has nothing but words? 

A preacher with no transportation, can do very little spreading of the gospel! Who does the painting, the carpentry, the electrical, the plumbing that is needed for the multitudes that hear the message of love. The preacher must stop preaching love, if he does not have helpers that put love into action. Here is a fact: "If a helper has this world's good, and sees a brother have need, and has no compassion, and does not meet the need, how can you possibly think My love is in him?"  1 John 3:17

Helpers give love a face! Preachers talk about love and helpers demonstrate it! Preachers are a gift from Me but the kingdom only needs only of them, to talk about love, but thousands of helpers are needed, to demonstrate love. Every preacher needs to "pray that I, as the Lord of the harvest, will send forth laborers to help demonstrate love, which will result in the harvest of souls." Matthew 9:38 It takes one preacher to say, Jesus loves you, and a dozen men and women along side him to prove it!

The shortage is never in the talkers of the word, it's always in the doers of the word. It is foolish to quit a helpers position to take up a preachers position, when there is a need for helpers. If you really need to preach, preach My love while serving a meal, or handing out clothes, or delivering a bed, or replacing an absentee father! Then they will really listen! Don't let any preacher without a helper, say to his listeners, "Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and not give them, those things which are needed for their body; how does that prove or profit anything? [17] Check your faith, if it has no works to back it up, it stands alone as only talk, and it is dead." James 2:16-17
