Mark 16 verse 15: {Amplified Bible}; “And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach and publish openly the Good News [The Gospel} to every creature {of the whole human race}.

We can not preach it successfully unless we are absorbed in The Good News.

There are many preaching the way to live, but unless our lives display the Life, the Love and the Truth of the Gospel, we are as a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal. {1 Corinthians 13 verse 1}.

The Amplified Bible uses an extra word,  {only to Amplify the truth of what is being said}, the word ‘Publish’. Publish in and through our lives, so others can see it written in our lives, so they will want to know and hear more, and read it for themselves through the printed Word.

In Philippians 3 verse 17: The Apostle Paul explains that leaders always lead by personal example, whether they are aware of it or not. When we start to live the life we were created for, through which we are to preach and teach The Gospel, we became examples.

Example of His Kingdom, because we have been purchased with a price, that only He could pay. If we consider an old stamp pad for example, the stamp pad needed to be absorbed with ink, if stamp was to make it mark on what it being used for.

If we are to go and preach, teach and publish the “Word’ in and through our lives, we need His Word, Absorbed into every fabric of our lives {the stamp pad of our lives}, so we can be living testimonies.

Titus 3 verse 6: Tells us, The Holy Spirit has been poured out on us abundantly. Let that outpouring of The Holy Spirit not only pour over us, but be absorbed in every part of us.

Matthew 12 verse 34 also tells us, “For the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart”. Let hearts be adsorbed, with all Our Lord and Our Friend has for us, so we truly speak for Him.

God Bless.
