Being Aggressive in Your Outreach



When We are Reaching Out to Men and Women, We Need to Bathe it in prayer


Isaiah 61:1,2
1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

• Jesus is announcing that God’s Spirit is upon him
• Anointing: Burden moving, yoke destroying power of God
• Aggressive words: preach; proclaim; bind
• Jesus came with an aggressive attitude
• Most people are not aggressive
• 98% of Christians are not aggressive
• Passiveness is our old nature
• Spirits are out there fighting us to be passive


The Greatest Fear of Satan is Relationships

• It is called the principle of two
• God puts two together to release power
• We need to be God pleasers, not people pleasers
• We need to step up our aggressiveness in ministering to others
• We need to step up our prayer life
• We need to make a difference everyday
• We are either passive or aggressive


Luke 4:14,19
14And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

• Jesus’ aggressive attitude has touched billions




Matthew 10:1-4
1And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. 2Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus: 4Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

• The disciples needed aggressiveness
• Jesus gave the disciples power to be aggressive



Matthew 10:7
7And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.


• We have to believe that our foot steps are ordered by God
• God did not call for us to be passive




Matthew 10:27
27What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.


• Let everybody know about God
• Ask God to give you a platform to Minister the Gospel
• We must pray for aggressiveness
• We are either going forward or backward
