Matthew Stuckey here from Verity Baptist Manila, and I wanted to make a quick video on soul
winning symbolism in the Song of Solomon.
This video is really to try to help you out if maybe you're going through a little bit
of a dry spell, you're kind of growing weary in soul winning, you haven't really had much
time to go soul winning recently, or the weather's been bad, you've kind of been down and out
of it, and you want to kind of get back and encouraged back in the fight.
Well, in Song of Solomon chapter 2, starting in verse 10, the Bible reads,
My beloved, spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.
And so he says, basically, rise up, let's go away.
He says, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone, basically saying, the weather's
been bad outside, but now it's gone.
Now the weather's good again.
And see, I believe God says this to us as well.
We get kind of weary in the Christian fight, and what he wants us to do is rise up and
go away.
Rise up and go door to door, get back in the fight, because notice what it says here in
verses 12 and 13.
It says, the flowers appear on the earth, the time of the singing of the birds has come,
and the voice of the turtles is heard in our land.
The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a
good smell.
Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
And see, all of us, we have moments in life where we're going through the winter, we're
going through the rain, we're going through bad weather, and it's hard to go soul winning.
But realize that once the weather's good again, once we're back, motivated, we need to get
back out there and be in the fight.
Because nobody else is going to be preaching the gospel to these people.
We need to rise up and go away and knock these doors and tell people how they can believe
on Jesus Christ and go to heaven one day.
Look, the winter has passed, the rain is over and gone, let's get back out there and fight.
Thank you, and God bless.
