Compared to eternity our lifetime on earth is a blip that lasts only a millisecond; a period so brief it doesn’t even register in the grand scheme of things. If you blink you’ll miss it. We became immortal beings at our conception because God gave us our eternal spirit from his body. God is eternal therefore that makes us eternal as well. I’m talking about the real us which I’ll call our inner “spirit man.” God has also made our outer “physical man” and designated our lifespan to be seventy years, if we’re lucky. That’s all the time we have to find God and then choose to serve God or Satan. That’s all the time we have to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior to ensure we have eternal life in heaven. Seventy years is all the time we have to do the work God has given us to do in order to build up treasures in heaven. God doesn’t tell us exactly what the treasures in heaven are but I have a good idea.
I expect our treasures in heaven will correspond to rank, honor, glory, privileges, and responsibilities that we must earn here on earth. What I do know for sure is whatever we get from God on the last day is ours to keep for all eternity, so a little effort now will go a long, long way. When God says “work” he means believers are to witness for Christ to all nations and all people in order to save lost souls for the kingdom of heaven. If nobody is saved no work is being done and no treasure is being accumulated and stored up for the believer on the last day. Whatever work we do for God determines our status in heaven and our rewards, good or bad, will last for all eternity. So you see, even though we’ll live forever these short seventy years on earth are the most important years of our lives.
John 15:5 – (Jesus) – For without Me you can do nothing.
John 6:44 – (Jesus) – No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 16:8 – (Jesus) – And when He (the Holy Spirit) has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and judgment.
Scripture says we can do nothing without God. Scripture also says no man is saved unless God draws him. We know it’s the Holy Spirit that convicts man of their sin and after a declaration of faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior it’s also the Holy Spirit that gives us a new spirit and changes man’s eternal destination from hell to heaven and writes their names in the book of life. God gave the earth to Adam who then lost it to Satan; before Jesus got it back for man. Only people have authority on earth which is why God works through man to spread the gospel message of Christ, which is the good news of God’s saving grace. By the sweat of my brow I’ve been passively witnessing for Christ for years and I’ve been limiting my ability to be fruitful in the spirit world because I haven’t enlisted God’s help as much as I should have. When you use Bible affirmations to witness for Christ you’re asking for God’s help in saving many more nonbelievers than you could save on your own by using the gospel seed you’ve provided. Answering our prayers glorifies God and he will do it which, in turn, will make us more fruitful. My goal is to save “many” nonbelievers for the kingdom of God and Bible affirmations are one way to do this. Witnessing for Christ is a partnership between God and man so in your affirmations don’t forget to ask for God’s help. I’ve created the following Bible affirmations specifically to help me witness for Christ:
Psalm 37:4 – Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.
AFFIRMATION:
I delight myself in the Lord and he gives me the desires of my heart. I desire to work in God’s harvest field to help save many lost souls for the kingdom of God as long as I can, even forty years like God’s prophets of old; or until Jesus Christ comes for me in the air to rapture his saints. I pray for more workers in God’s harvest field. I desire to stand before the bema judgment seat of Jesus Christ on the last day and hear him say, “well done good and faithful servant.” Help me Lord to save many nonbelievers for the kingdom of God.
Mark 16:15-16 – (Jesus) – Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

Help me O Lord with my witness.

Romans 12:1 – I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

The number one good work for God is witnessing for Christ and I will do it all the days of my life; even forty years if there is time before the rapture comes. Holy God, help me to save one more for Jesus.

AFFIRMATION:
