“Jesus said to the people in the synagogue at Nazareth: “Amen, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own native place. Indeed, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah when the sky was closed for three and a half years and a severe famine spread over the entire land. It was to none of these that Elijah was sent, but only to a widow in Zarephath in the land of Sidon. Again, there were many lepers in Israel during the time of Elisha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.” When the people in the synagogue heard this, they were all filled with fury. They rose up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town had been built, to hurl him down headlong. But he passed through the midst of them and went away.” -Luke 4:24-30
Do you speak the Word openly to others? If not, now is the time to begin. Start with those who are open and eager to hear. Cut your teeth and speak to those who welcome you.
But that is only the start. We must grow bold, willing to step into the crowd that is not so welcoming, and speak the Lord’s Truth. To those who do not know the Lord, unless we tell them, who will?
Do you know of someone who does not know Our Lord or has not had a conversion to Him? God created you as a prophet to bring His presence into that person's midst.
