Meeting people where they are.
The Apostle Paul said:
To the weak I became weak, to win the weak.
I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some.
I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I might share in its blessings.
1Corinthians 9:22,23 NIV
One of my blessed instructors in the word always does more than teach a text, he always imparts wisdom, knowledge and life experience as a man of God into us.
He taught us how not to discriminate against any man that is lost in the world, that the homosexual is no more or no less a sinner than the cheating husband, or the couple having sex out of wedlock.
Paul didn't mean that he went out and began to live the lifestyle of the sinner in order to win them.
He meant that he didn't turn his back on them like they were lepers.
See there is a way that God does everything and we need to know it.
It isn't aimlessly.
Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9:26,27 NIV
Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air.
No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
There is a method, nothing is automatic.
Stepping into the way that the Father does it will bring manifestation of glory, victory, redemption, peace, love, prosperity.
Just a big old harvest!
But it isn't automatic.
Love
