My Dream.

This morning, I woke up from a dream that made me think about something. In my dream I was supposed to go up in front of THOUSANDS of people to speak. So a guy came up to me before I went up and asked, "So what verse are you going to tell these people?" I was like, "Verse? I'm supposed to say a verse?" He says, "Yeah, isn't that what you're here for? So what is it then? If you had to pick one verse to tell people (some believers and non-believers) what would it be?" I never answered him because I kept thinking about what to say. So many thoughts and verses ran through my head. I didn't know what to say. Then I woke up. When I awoke, the verse suddenly popped into my head. It's a verse that everyone knows, but in my eyes is THE most powerful in the Bible. It clearly shows God's love and sums up the gospel in one small verse. John 3:16.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

The devil even uses Scripture to overlook things. A while ago, one of my leaders and accountability partners asked me this question. "If you had one verse to preach the gospel, what would it be?" I flipped and I flipped. And after a good 5 minutes of searching, I was lost. He then gave me a hint because my mind was literally blank. He said, "Everyone knows this one." It was then I remembered John 3:16. We can memorize and practice so much Scripture, but the basis for the gospel and God's presence unto man can be overlooked because it's a verse in the back of your head that you don't often think about because of other things going on in your life that you attribute other verses to. I admit that I do this a lot, but this dream really awoke me to a new mindset and new beginnings. Life life the way God intended it to be: Telling people about the gospel and THE ONLY way to get into heaven.

"Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" [John 14:6]
