“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the World”. Acts 1:8

Just before he ascended into heaven, Jesus gave us a command and a responsibility to populate the church. In this command, he talked about multiplying new believers. He didn't take on the command himself, even though He could have. Amazingly, he left this awesome responsibility up to a hand full of humans. He left it up to you and me.

To help complete this task, we need to be able to see people in our lives that need Christ present in their lives. We need to see who we can share our faith with. But that is not always an easy thing for us to do. In order for us to see these people, we may need to look at our lives through a different lens, through a different perspective. We need to put on polarized glasses.

Polarized sunglasses are amazing. When you are out on a lake or skiing down the slopes, these glasses help you to see with more clarity and definition. They allow you to be able to see things around you that you could not have seen without them.

The same thing needs to happen in your life and mine. But to gain that new perspective, we need to ask God to give us those polarized glasses. We need to ask God to give us x-treme insight to be able to see those around us that need Christ in their lives.

Moreover, the Holy Spirit gives us the necessary boldness as we dare to undertake this responsibility. Be assured that the Holy Spirit will always be present both to speak through you, and also convict the person you might share your faith with.

This week, ask God to give you x-treme insight. Just say to him, "God, show me someone in my life that I need to invite to church or share you with." God wants you to be his witness. Look for the people in you life that need him, and then be a witness to what God has done in your life. Help finish God's equation of multiplying new believers.
