For you are bringing some strange things to our ears. Therefore we want to know what these things mean.

Acts 17: 20

What the devil fears the most is seeing The Gospel being preached all around the world considering that, in this case, billions of people will be saved. The enemy will fight with all his capacity for that not to happen; after all, he envies the position of the saved ones in Christ since Satan’s purpose is to drive us away from the eternal happiness. It is a sad thing to know that he indeed happens to find empty hearts which foolishly give him shelter; yet, the evangelization work will, by all means, be carried out because The Lord wishes so!

It does not matter if our society is religious or not, if it is progressing scientifically or not, if it is prosperous or not, traditional or liberal; when the Word of God is preached people first hear a message which sounds to them as “odd” at first, then they will realize that those “odd things” are the ones which make all the difference. As they fully understand the meaning of those, with time, people will then feel the need for a change in their lives. Therefore, there is no doubt at all that it is our duty to spread out the Good News.

Man – done by The Word of God, in The Word of God and for The Word of God along with the whole Trinity – feels intrigued when he hears The Gospel. In fact, those “odd things” he hears reach his inner being once they are in fact familiar to his very essence. He knows that in him there is a sense of emptiness that only those “odd things” may fill up; and that is the reason why he is intrigued and therefore he craves for more understanding.

There is no replacement for The Word of God. No religious person can ever achieve a sense of accomplishment considering that only The Word has the power to give those who listen to IT full satisfaction. Whenever possible you must share The Words of The Bible with someone else, whoever they might be; this way, you will be giving that person the best assistance they could ever get.

What is interesting is that, as we talk about the divine promises, The Divine Verb reveals ITSELF to the heart of those who hear IT, considering that ITS messages is already expected by everybody. On account of the sin they are living their lives in, many do not admit to the fact that they have been touched because they do not want to give up their wrong life. But others will undoubtedly embrace The Holy Message and then they will begin to live their lives based on The Statements of The Word of God.

If we could get together all sinners in the world in one single place and, then preach them the Message of the Cross, there would not be one single person who would not understand IT considering that The Lord would be speaking to all of them at the same time. Basically, there will always be two thirsty people to look to: a man who is willing to know The Truth, but he does not know how, and The Lord who wants everybody to be saved. That interaction should happen to everybody.

The concepts which have been created by man along the years get in the way of the preaching of The Gospel. That “strange fire” harms massively the divine work because it will never be utilized by The Lord. Besides, it has no power to enlighten anybody. Do participate in the best work of all times which is that of doing well to people. This way, you will be highly rewarded in the eternity.

In Christ, with love,
