Everyone Is Reachable
Bible Study Series
Everyone Around You and Through Out This World is Reachable for Jesus Christ.
EVERYBODY IS REACHABLE!
Part 1
Everyone is touchable with the good news about Jesus Christ.
I was studying one day and the Lord spoke to me and said, “Do you know everyone is reachable with my message, there are no unreachable people on this earth. You need to start thinking this way, because I told everyone to go out tell the world about me. It will be up to the individual you talk to to make the decision to follow me and give their lives to me, but It will be their choice. “
This shook me on the inside. Then this bible scripture came to my heart:
Matthew 24:14 (NLT)
14 And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached, spoken, and told throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; (so that is every person and everyone will hear it) and then the end will come.
Jesus is saying here I am not excluding anyone on this earth from joining my family.
Jesus is saying everyone is reachable on this whole earth..
No one is out of reach of the good news.
EVERYBODY'S REACHABLE WITH THIS MESSAGE OF GOOD NEWS!! THERE ARE NO UNREACHABLE PEOPLE!!!!!!
You know my testimony, I was a Buddhist, I was like the apostle Paul persecuting Christians and bring christians into buddhism.
I'm sure the little Italian girl Lori Cantenella who shared Jesus with me saw that I was reachable. She didn’t think like so many other christians. All the other christians probably looked at me and said, “this guy is a crazy Buddhist and wow he is soooooo unreachable.” But God showed Lori Cantenella that everybody’s reachable. David Breed is reachable.
Lori wouldn't leave me alone. Then she said to me one day, “Me and my girl friend prayed all night last night for you”. That freaked me out that someone was actually praying all night for me, how did they do that? Why did they do that? Well, it was because she decided to believe what Jesus told her and that I was reachable. Another time she was at my house and I was showing her all the Buddhism things that I possesed. She just looked at me and said, “Why do you need all of those things when God is right here with you, right now!” That saying she spoke from her heart changed me, it hit me right at my heart. That’s when my life started to change and I started seeking Jesus.
So you can't tell by looking at a person whether not they're reachable. I was reachable - you were reachable - so they are reachable too!!!! People may look like the hardest and meanest person. They may be involved in all kinds of bad, stupid stuff, stuff they are not suppose to be doing. That doesn't make any difference. Jesus said they are reachable!!!! Jesus tells us again and again in the Holy Bible that people are reachable - so go out in the world and tell them about me!
Mark 16:14-16 (NKJV) The Great Commission
14 Later He (Jesus) appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.
15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
Mark 16:15 - Living Bible
15 And then he told them, “You are to go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere. (everyone is reachable)
Jesus is saying, “As you go throughout YOUR world tell everyone about me, it will be up to them to make the decision to follow me or not.”,
He trusts you will listen to Him and obey what He is telling you to do BECAUSE EVERYONE IS REACHABLE.
EVERYBODY IS REACHABLE!
Part 2
Jesus Four Point Plan - For Every Believer and Every Church
Jesus then told us before He went to heaven the strategy to reach everyone in the world - and early believers in the church listened and obeyed and made the early church explode.
Let’s read the words of Jesus.
Acts 1:8 - New Living Translation
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Another bible translation says:
Acts 1:8 TPT
But I promise you this—the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and you will be seized with (His) power. You will be my messengers to Jerusalem, throughout Judea, the distant provinces—even to the remotest places on earth!”
If you really look at this bible verse Jesus is not talking about a progressional message about starting in cities and ending up in other areas of the world. He is talking about His important four point plan.
Jesus is saying what we need to be involved in today is (1) all Jerusalem (our city), (2) all Judea (our region or state) , (3) all Samaria our nation, and (4) all the outermost parts of the world. (that’s everywhere and touching everyone)
It's not which one do we want to get involved in. It is all of them we need to be involved in.
Jesus gave us a 4 point plan here. God is gave us a church strategy for today to reach every person.
Jesus said we ought to be going after the our city as much as we're going after the world.
Jesus is saying here “Everybody is reachable with this message YOU ARE carrying”!!!! Remember what I said before, “I was reachable and You were reachable!”
It doesn’t matter who they are or where they live, they are reachable. Jesus our savior and Lord is saying to us today that there is no place in the world that's unreachable.
IMPORTANT:
If Jesus is saying to us today that everyone is reachable, then everyone is reachable.
Jesus is telling us today that He wants everyone to hear about Him.
EVERYBODY IS REACHABLE!
Part 3
I have only one question for you
Jesus wouldn't have said for us to go to all the world and tell the gospel to everybody if they were not reachable. It will still be their choice, but everybody's reachable. Every nation's touchable. Every nation is reachable. Every person in your city is reachable, every person in this region is reachable. Every person that you personally know is reachable.
In the whole world, there are 7.5 billion people on earth, heading toward 8 billion people on earth. They're going to make their own choices, but everybody's reachable.
Jesus has already paid the price for every body!!!!
Some one may say, I guess for everything I did in my life I should go to hell.
You’re not going to go to hell for what you did. You'll only go to hell for not accepting the one that paid for all you did.
The only sin that will to send you to hell is the sin of not receiving Jesus who paid the price for your life.
God the Father is not going to ask you when you stand in front of Him, how good were you? How bad were you?
He's only going to say, I got one question for you. Did you receive my Son?
I sent you a life vest. I sent you a lifeboat. I sent you an answer for your life. I sent my best, my son, the son of God to die in your place so you can be free.
Did you accept him or didn't you? That's all it is. That’s the only question He is going to ask you. You are not going to hell because of what you have done or haven't done. You're only going to hell because of what family you're in. Family of God, you go to heaven. Family of the devil, you go to hell. It's totally your choice of which family you want to be in.
Jesus said to us, go into all the world and tell this good news to the whole world. That is our mandate. That is the mandate of the church. That is the mandate of every child of God. That is His mandate for you!
Jesus said our first mandate is to go into all the world and tell this goods news to everybody!!
Somebody may ask, well, what are we called to do in this church?
We're all called to together to raise up this church for the kingdom of God!
Why? To train people in the church & Bible Institute.
Why? So they can go reach the lost.
We need to learn prosperity. Why? So we have money.
Why do we need money? So we can reach the lost.
Everything WE DO ought to focus on going to all the world and preaching the gospel to everyONE. That's our mandate. Jesus has equipt you and me to reach everybody. He already gave you and I all we need to get the job done. We just have to listen to the Holy Sprit, believe God and just do the work.
The devil, the thief, has lied to the church. How you might ask.
He has got us to use our own words against us.
“It is so hard to talk to people, I wish I could talk to those people but it is so hard to talk to them, they will never listen to me, I don’t know what to say, who am I?”
Jesus told us what to say every time we talk to someone about Him.
Luke 12:11-12 (CJB) Complete Jewish Bible
11 ... don’t worry about how you will defend yourself or what you will say; 12 because when the time comes, the Holy Spirit will teach you what you need to say.”
Luke 12:12 - The Voice
12 The Holy Spirit will give you the words to say at the moment when you need them.
Jesus is saying, just say what the Holy Spirt tells you to say. Have faith in the Holy Spirit because He will do the talking for you!
Can you see how important the Holy Spirit is? The devil, the thief has lied to the church about the Holy Spirit.
People say, “We don’t need the Holy Spirit!”, yes you do!!!! He is the one who teach you what to say at every moment when you need to say something.
Your words that the Holy Spirit will give you will bring life into a persons life, THOSE WORDS BROUGHT LIFE TO YOU AND ME AND CHANGED US FOREVER!
It will be peoples choice whether they receive God’s Son or not, but we will reach them with the good news.
THE POINT TODAY IS: THERE ARE NO UNREACHABLE PEOPLE!!!!!
Everybody’s reachable! Everyone is touchable! Everyone is with in reach, now we need to be radical and go talk to them.
OUR CHALLENGE: We must become radical.
WE ARE RADICAL, WE (THE CHURCH) STARTED THAT WAY AND WE WILL CONTINUE THAT WAY! THIS IS THE WAY WE WILL GET RESULTS! WE ARE RADICAL!!!
WE ARE STEPPING INTO THE MOST RADICAL AGE OF THE CHURCH. THE CHURCH TODAY IS GETTING RESULTS BECAUSE WE ARE FOLLOWING THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS STRATEGIES IN THIS END TIME.

Sharing The Gospel With People
4 Holy Spirit Steps - Pastor David Breed
Sharing the Gospel with People.
Making it easy for you to share today!
Today we are going to talk about four simple and easy ways/steps to share the gospel with people.
John 4:35
Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest.
Sharing the Gospel with People.
So there is a myth—that people are happy and don’t need the gospel— is like looking at someone on social media and saying, “They look like they have everything under control, they don’t have any problems and their life looks better than mine. Certainly they don’t need me to share Jesus with them.”
That’s a dangerous lie.
People all over the world in every nation, every city every village are longing for purpose in their lives. They want more for their lives!
Many of these people have no idea there are church communities living abundant lives changed by the good news of Jesus Christ.
They don’t know “The One” who can satisfy their thirst.
They’re unaware that eternal hope really exists in a broken world.
Their ignorance of the gospel is a result of our silence. It’s not their fault. They don’t know these truths of Jesus Christ because they don’t know any Christians speaking them.
We need to be visible for people to see Jesus Christ in our lives.
Here are four simple and easy ways to share the gospel with people. SAME METHODS WERE USED TO GET THIS GUY SAVED AND BORN FROM ABOVE.
Laurie Cantenella - she was led - me too - by these Holy Spirit steps and they will work for us today!
1. Be Bold to Get Close
We need to get close to people. That’s what Jesus did:
The same way Jesus was used by God is the same way we are going to be used by God.
Jesus listened and touched the people, that’s the same way we are going to be used by God.
JESUS MADE THE FIRST MOVE TO GET CLOSE TO PEOPLE. WE HAVE TO FOLLOW HIS EXAMPLE.
Most people are just like us…. people who don’t know God are hesitant to open up their hearts and their lives with a stranger. — Their problems and their inner lives are a very personal and private thing. So we need to find ways to get close to these people.
Because if we aren’t there for them when they need hope in their lives, then - there will be something else to brighten and fill their darkness for them like—drugs, alcohol, hanging our with the wrong people.
So we have to ask ourselves: Who is nearby? Who is God putting on my heart? Who can I be a blessing too? Who is hurting Father? Who do you want to touch?
2. Be Bold to Ask Questions - it brings you closer to a person.
Jesus asked over 300 (307) questions in the New Testament to people just like you and me.
Asking questions was central to Jesus' life and teachings.
Many Christians are afraid of speaking to others about God, because they are nervous that they can’t answer every question the person may have.
It is interesting that Jesus, who knew all the answers, asked a lot of questions when he interacted with people.
Maybe, instead of worrying about answering questions, we should be focused on asking them. LIKE JESUS DID!
CAROL JOY - WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN WE ARE GOING TO SEE ALL THE SEEDS WE PLANTED AND HOW GOD USED THEM TO BRING PEOPLE INTO THE KINGDOM. YOUR SEEDS, YOUR QUESTIONS ARE IMPORTANT TO GOD!
An honest and gentle question can create a space where we get to know each other and can speak openly about what the gospel means to us.
REMEMBER IT IS A HEART TO HEART CONVERSATION. SO IT WILL BE HEART TO HEART QUESTIONS.
3. Be Bold to Introduce Community
The church was Jesus Idea! -A VERY BEAUTIFUL IDEA!
God’s Word can change hearts; therefore, we must expose people to His Word & His Christian community.
I am amazed again and again by the promise and power of God’s Word. Everyone, every person needs God’s Word and His community! His Company! - Let the person know we have all types of people in our church from all kinds of different backgrounds and walks of life, just like them.
His Church is His Company / They need to know God created a loving family who cares.
Acts 4:23 (AMP)
23 …The apostles returned to their own company and told all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
THEN THEY PRAYED TOGETHER - COMMUNITY
Let the person know how important our own church/company is to us. It is a place where they can a protected environment of peace, love, security and strength.
Introduce Community - because God’s Living Word can change hearts - and God’s Loving community, His Idea, can help them grow and mature in Christ. Let them know and they will forever be changed.
4. Be Bold to Trust God - He can do the impossible with you!
Matthew 19:26
"With God all things are possible."
God used a little boy’s lunch box to feed thousands of people. Therefore, he can also work a miracle from your little kindness, your honest conversation, your quiet prayer, and your invitation to a dinner or to church.
Let’s join together in reaching as many as we can—even the seemingly happy people—with the true joy of Jesus.
The bible says to Trust God with all your heart and do not lean to your own understanding.
Proverbs 16:3 (TPT)
3 Before you do anything, put your trust totally in God and not in yourself [commit your business to God]. Then every plan you make will succeed.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (TPT)Trust in God’s / Wisdom’s Guidance
5 Trust in the Lord completely…With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make.
6 Become intimate with him in whatever you do, and he will lead you wherever you go.[he will cut a straight path before you.]”
Trust God, because He will use your little kindness, your honest conversation, your quiet prayer, and your invitation to dinner or to church to change a life forever.
WRAPPING IT UP TODAY: REMEMBER
Laurie Cantenella - she was led - me too - by the Holy Spirit in these steps and they will work for us today!
1. Get Close - Be like Jesus and find ways to get close to people.
2. Ask Questions - It opens a person up, it shows you care. It brings you closer to that person.
3. Introduce Community - because God’s Living Word can change hearts - and God’s Loving community, His Idea can help them grow and mature in Christ. Let them know they will forever be changed.
4. Trust God - because He will use your little kindness, your honest conversation, your quiet prayer, and your invitation to dinner or to church to change a life forever.

4 Steps To Pray - David Breed
Making it easy for you to pray today!
How do we pray for those around us - so they can be reached and come to know Jesus Christ!
WHAT DID JESUS SAY ABOUT THIS SUBJECT AND HOW DID HE TELL US TO PRAY FOR PEOPLE THAT DID NOT KNOW HIM?
HOW DID THE APOSTLE PAUL PRAY ABOUT THIS?
AND HOW TO PUT COMPLETE TRUST IN GOD IN THIS AREA OF PRAYING FOR THOSE AROUND YOU WHO DON’T KNOW JESUS!
GOD PRAYERS!!!!! CHANGE LIVES!!!
In Praying for people who don’t know Jesus, what we do is cry - or just pray in the Spirit - or just pray with
a lot of emotions that we have for that person.
We are more or less trying to pray or do all the work ourselves. We’re trying to make God do something; we’re trying to force something to come to pass.
Actually, what we need to do is study the Word of God and depend upon, and trust in the Holy Spirit to cause people to experience the beautiful life of salvation.
We need to put the Bible first. No prayer life is going to be successful if it’s not based on the Word of God.
The Spirit of God knows exactly how to reach the person that needs Jesus Christ - and He knows how they can be touched and who they will listen to. He knows them - He created them.
As we pray, we must realize that it is the Father God
who draws people through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit in drawing people to Christ.
John 6:44 (TPT)
44 The only way people come to me is by the Father who sent me—he pulls [with force] on their hearts to embrace me. And those who are drawn to me, I will certainly raise them up in the last day.”
SO LET’S GO - LET’S HAVE FUN, LETS PRAY AND LET’S TRUST GOD!!
1. Use The Name of Jesus - it belongs to you!
Phillip the evangelist had huge success in praying for people, in the city of Samaria, praying with an Ethiopia Man, was translated out of his sight, his presence, later had 4 daughters who prophesied and brought Glory to God, and was visited by Paul by his success - Phillip wanted results in his prayers and with life.
Acts 8:12-13 Phillip in the city of Samaria
12 …they believed the good news (the Gospel) about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ (the Messiah) as Philip preached it, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 And seeing signs and miracles of great power which were being performed were utterly amazed.
He knew what Jesus said about His own name - He knew Jesus own name had the power of heaven, the majesty of heaven and the results only heaven could give.
John 16:23-24 (NLT)
23 At that time you won’t need to ask me for anything. I tell you the truth, you will ask the Father directly, and he will grant your request because you use my name. 24 You haven’t done this before. Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy.
Did you know Jesus said - You use my name when you pray - it belongs to you! THATS HUGE!!! The name of Jesus belongs to you as a believer. Did you know Jesus gave you the right to use His name. YES YOU!!!
2. Praying for God Workers/Laborers To Be Sent - to Them - across their path - the right workers who know what to say to get to their hearts.
SOME PEOPLE WON’T LISTEN TO US! GOD WILL
SEND SOMEONE THEY WILL LISTEN TO.
Matthew 9:35-38 (NLT)FROM THE LIPS OF JESUS
The Need for Workers/Laborers
35 Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness.
36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
37 He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. 38 So pray to the Lord [God THE FATHER] who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send [cast, force out, thrust] more workers into his fields.” END
Wilma Pendleton
OPEN HIS EYES FATHER - OPEN HIS EYES FATHER.
3. Pray to Open Their Eyes Lord - To See The Truth
Ephesians 1:17-19 (AMP)
PAUL SAID HERES HOW TO PRAY TO OPEN EYES!
17 [I always pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation [that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight] into the true knowledge of Him [for we know the Father through the Son].
18 And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people), >>>>>>
19 and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength. ———- OPEN THIER EYES LORD!!
Praying the Bible - Changes the Hearts and Minds people and turns them toward our Good God!!!
This God Prayer that He gave to the Apostle Paul to pray for the Ephesian church will work for us today.
Pray Ephesians 1:16-23, 3:14-21, 6:19 over yourself and others - for it will change, rearrange and bring us God’s Light into our lives!!
Ephesians 6:19 (NIV) LOVE - LOVE - LOVE THIS PRAYER
19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel [ of salvation].
4. Trust God & Expect - He Is Working! - Plain and simple trust. He said is He will accomplish it! Trust Him! Easy! - because He said - in the bible - He is working!!!
We are trusting in God to reach those people. We must trust God and Not waver - James 1.
James 1:5-9 (NIV)
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
6 But when you ask [for anything], you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. SIMPLE & COMPLETE TRUST
I don’t care what it looks like - God never told us to only believe when everything looks right - no - that’s when we put our complete trust in Him - Easy , Simple - Child like trust in Jesus!!
LAW OF INCREASE, FAILURE - OPPOSITE FORCES
The devil will have you focus on - “its not working” (Lie) - when Jesus said My Fathers always working.
John 5:17 (NLT)
17 But Jesus replied, “My Father is always working, and so am I.”
Matthew 19:26
"With God all things are possible."
We are serious about you.
Contacts us, we want to pray for you. God has a great things ahead for you.
