We're going to be studying how the Lord Jesus Christ relates himself to a person who is determined to enter upon the supreme luxury of life, whether he be an ordained minister or whether he be a layman.

And friends, all through this experience that we share with you this afternoon may the Holy Spirit help us to know that every 1 of us can be a simple witness and number 2 that every 1 of us will be taken care of financially, if we're not lazy, as we witness to the Lord Jesus.

He'll take care of every layman who will not be so obsessed with making a living that he forgets that his great privilege in life is not making a living, it's witnessing to the love of Jesus Christ, the power of Jesus Christ, the salvation of Jesus Christ, the eternal life of Jesus Christ, the gifts of Jesus Christ, that's our business.

Then he will bless our activity to make the living.

Now if you doubt whether you will do it, if there's any misgiving in your mind, follow through this study.

Will you then with me read the first, the very first gem, this is number 3 on the white sheet, together.

Is there anything Together, is there anything too hard for the Lord?

With God nothing shall be impossible Luke 1 37.

In what way does God want to show his impossible answers to prayer?

We join with him in the great business of the universe.

It's now in the closing days of Earth's history and in the closing days he wants his people to have such a delightful experience in him that all the demons of hell will stand against.

They said look at that, look at this group of Christians who are happy in sharing you.

On the other hand, they're not being lazy and saying, I want somebody to support me because I believe it'll be a lot easier for me to go out and witness than for me to work in the factory.

He wants us wherever we are to witness to his love, to witness to his salvation.

All right let's read the next 1, under number 2 that text.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.

What was Jesus speaking about that would be added?

If we seek first his kingdom, if we determine a witness to him, what will he do about our financial needs?

Now it doesn't mean we want to have tests.

It does not mean we won't have trials of faith.

We shall have great tests, tremendous trials.

Because the devil hates the Christian who's going to witness, so the devil will try to block our way, it's a battle all along the way, it's not going to be a rosy bed of ease, We're not going to be on cloud 9.

But my friends, in every difficulty, God has his way of escape.

I pray under God, and I've been pleading with God today that the Holy Spirit would impress us with this.

We ministers, myself included, again and again have presented to our people in the wrong light.

We've presented it so much as duty, duty, duty that our people have never gotten impression it's the most beautiful thing it's the supreme luxury of the Christian life and may God's Holy Spirit impress each 1 of us.

Anywhere we go, at the factory, where we work, we can speak a word of hope.

Wherever we are, We don't have to say, how can I take the time?

My friends, wherever we work, whatever we're doing, you're in an anniversary, a family reunion.

When I go to an anniversary, a family reunion, or a little group together, you know what I'm praying for?

For the Holy Spirit will help us to witness and to show the love and the delight in Jesus Christ and you know for those of us who can't do anything else to start with there's 1 thing we can do wherever we go we at least let people know that we're happy in Jesus.

You know a sad Venice is 1 of the most terrible animals around they're worse than a coon.

And if we'll just do that, that's a wonderful start.

If our boys and girls see daddy and mommy happy in Jesus, my that's a tremendous witness.

If they see that mommy isn't calling the daddy and daddy isn't trying to boss mommy that's a wonderful witness, tremendous witness.

They say my daddy and mommy don't call anymore what's happened?

They're happy, they're actually smiling each other every once in a while.

So remember that witnessing is not like the man says it ain't what people think.

Witnessing is not what most of our people think.

Witnessing is a delightful presentation, dramatization that Jesus is good, that God is good, that God is love, that God is interested in us, that He cares, see?

If we do it and we make that the main mission of our life, and I want to call on you before this meeting closes, for a dedication to this, to try it out and see for yourself whether it's drudgery or not.

God forbid you know the devil tries to make us think it's drudgery.

It's when we dwell on self that we get so mean and cussed.

When we're out sharing Jesus, there's a joy.

He'll make people, he'll cause people to talk against us and gossip about us and slander about us and write letters about us and all of that that's the devil's work but there still can be peace inside.

All right see how much God takes care of us.

We're sharing with you last and the first service about Andy at the age of 7.

All right we'll just give a little review.

Little Andy at the age of 7 saw his mother when they were poverty stricken and they had had nothing to eat that day, they had nothing in the home, she claimed a Bible promise, and she told them there will be food tonight.

When they came back to the meeting that night, between the screen door and the regular door, there was a huge platter full of steaming hot supper.

When little Andy went out as he grew up he studied this beautiful book from which mother was claiming a promise.

He was falling in love with a wonderful Savior and as he studied he found that the seventh day was the Sabbath though he belonged to a church that didn't know it he went to his ministers and asked them about it he heard that he learned that when Jesus comes then he gives the reward He learned that Jesus doesn't put a comparatively innocent person in hell, and that person burns 2, 000 years longer than Another person who's committed many, many sins, he said, that isn't God.

As Andy reached out farther and farther out for God, he found that he was being persecuted.

The joy of the Lord, the devil tries to what?

And so he lost his class, he lost his Sunday school class, and then he tried to straighten things out with a pastor over a period of years.

He couldn't and finally He just sent the whole church group to blank.

Finally on the way to Korea, the boat was just ready to sail, he knew he was going to probably be killed because they were being devastated.
