Dear Mike:

I was driving on a different road to work this morning, and I saw a billboard message from a Babylonian church from last October. They were running their own version of a haunted house, with a caption that said “Let it scare the hell out of you”. Should I consider sharing the gospel truth with this group, or would that be considered “casting pearls before swine”?

Your brother in the Christ,

Hi D____,

Thank you for your question. If you are presented with an opportunity to share “the testimony of Jesus Christ” with others, and Christ is in you at all, then you have been told that you have been given “the spirit of prophecy.”

Rev 19:10  And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See [ thou do it] not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

To fail to do so would be nothing less than denying your Lord.

Mat 10:16  Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Mat 10:17  But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
Mat 10:18  And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
Mat 10:19  But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
Mat 10:20  For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
Mat 10:21  And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against [ their] parents, and cause them to be put to death.
Mat 10:22  And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Mat 10:23  But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
Mat 10:24  The disciple is not above [ his] master, nor the servant above his lord.
Mat 10:25  It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more [ shall they call] them of his household?

We are sent to do what Christ did.

Joh 20:21  Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

So by all means take advantage of any opportunity which the Lord provides you to share freely what you have received for free.

Mat 10:8  Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

Believe me,  you will know right away if you are casting your pearls before swine, and when that becomes obvious then, never attempt to force feed a carnal baby in Christ. We are all exactly where God wants us, and that includes the swine.

Rom 14:22  Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
Rom 14:23  And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever [ is] not of faith is sin.

So ask for God’s direction, but do not be timid. The timid will be in the lake of fire.

Rev 21:8  But the fearful [ Greek, timid], and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

God bless you for your faithfulness to Him and to His Truth.
You remain in my and Sandi’s prayers.
Your brother in Christ,
Mike
