This is the question presented by God that finally pushed me to start this journey into discipleship. It’s a question that we should all be asking ourselves at some point in our walk here on God’s amazing earth. Looking back at the past 10 years, it’s as though God has been preparing me for this time. Every season brought it’s highs and lows, it’s ups and downs (Eccl 3:1-8), and every time I would seek out God to help sharpen my faith in Him. It took reading my Bible, listening to podcasts, creating and constantly updating my “Church” playlist so I could turn off the world so I could just focus on God in order to get the revelation He had for me. I didn’t always hear the revelation with all the distractions around me but kept on keeping on and eventually received God’s revelation.
Why not me? Why not you? We are not alone. Jesus left us a great gift when He asked the Father to leave the Holy Spirit as an advocate for us (John 14:15-20). The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines advocate as “one who defends or maintains a cause or proposal”. The Holy Spirit defends and guides us we only need to keep our focus on Him so that we can be the light of the world (Matthew 5:14-16) so we can then help and guide others that are in need of the God’s help. These are people in our everyday life and people like you and I might be the only person that is within their daily life that can tell them about the Good News (Luke 4:43). Reaching out to people and having a “Jesus Talk” is a tough thing to do with the state of the world we live in. Today’s society is training Christians to tiptoe around talking about Jesus openly so many Christians are choosing to stay silent. We also can’t deny the fact that anyone can get fired or canceled these days if they offend someone who hears them talking about God. The enemy is getting bolder everyday so we have to pray for guidance. We all know people who absolutely need to hear about Jesus so we can’t just stay silent. We have to just make ourselves available to those people by just giving hints that we are a true Believer. It’s as simple as saying “Thank God” out loud or when someone ask your plans for the weekend mention your plans on attending church on Sunday. We need to leave the door open and if someone is seeking God’s help, God will guide them to us so we can have that Jesus talk. If not you, then who.
