We all know the Great Commission... maybe not all of us.
The Great Commisson is a command not a request. It is found in the Matthew 28:18 to the end of the verse. Jesus speaking commands us to Go and make disciples of all nations, also telling us that He is with us always. Instead of paraphrasing, here it is:

The Great Commission
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them ina the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
So, clearly, Jesus has already put the command out. What is next?
Going out and fulfilling this command. And just in-case you are wondering, this command is not to only pastors, ministers, rappers, etc; this command is to every believer; you me and everyone else.
I'm not going to lie, I know I have an obvious calling from God... and God has made that clear sooo much.
But I get scared sometimes, I think I'm not ready. I know not only me shares this feeling.
What is the reason for fear? It is because I trust in myself more than I trust God. I need God's grace much more than practice, studying and learning more stuff.
But when do you know you are ready to go out and spread the gospel?
Pray, pray and pray. God will tell you... and He'll order your steps and life so that things will fall into place in His time
What do you do to be prepared?
Study, rely on God, trust God 100% not any human. You need to get to a certain level of spiritual maturity.
Do you even need to prepare?
Yes. Going out without preparing is like a soldier going to fight a war without any knowledge of his weapons.
Not trying to scare you, but the devil hates any Child of God in general... hates us sharing the gospel even more; so going out to share the gospel unprepared is not wise. Thank God for His protection always.
Finally, this post was inspired by God as I was listening to this beautiful song by S.O., I'm Ready featuring J. Williams. God's grace is sufficient. I'm Ready.
