Greetings My Friends;
If you were to ask the average church going
Christian about witnessing for Jesus, they would probably tell you that they
think they should. If you ask them how, they will probably tell you what they
heard in church. Ring doorbells, pass out tracts. I am not saying that this is
wrong, it is just one way, it doesn't work very well for some people.
A while back I was talking to a couple I have
known for a long time. As is normal, they asked how everything is going. I know
when someone asks that, they don't really want to know. They shouldn't have
asked me, because I will break the unwritten rule, and actually tell them.
When I mentioned my ministry, you would think I
was talking about the social life of a germ. They couldn't be less interested,
and changed the subject at the speed of light. It did not phase me. The brief
meeting became even briefer, because they obviously were uncomfortable.
When I started my ministry, I asked the Holy
Spirit to guide me, tell me what to say, and for him to do the rest. That included
finding the right people to hear the message. I believe that if you are reading
this message, it is part of his plan.
A couple of weeks ago I received a phone call
from the couple, I referred to earlier. The man asked me how they could find me
online. I told him, and that was all I said about it. A week ago, I received
another call. This time, they told me that they have read almost all of the
messages. The comment "it's really cool. You are really blessed."
They said. The blessed part 3 times.
To make a long story short, it shows me that the
Holy Spirit is working. He tells me, and I do. I just write, He does the rest. I plant the seed, and He
makes it grow.
I guess I got off track a little bit, but I will
get back on track with the next message. I will relate alternative ways to be a
witness for Christ.
God bless you and remember,
Jesus loves you.
Prayer of Salvation;
"Oh God in heaven, I believe with all of my
heart that Jesus has been raised from the dead. I receive your Word, and I
repent of sin. I renounce the past. Come in to my heart, Lord Jesus. I receive
my forgiveness. I receive the new birth, cleansed and washed in the Word and in
the precious blood of Jesus. Fill me with Your Spirit, in Jesus name.
Amen."
