Though many soul-winners, pastors, missionaries and Christian workers seem as though they do not get scared and intimidated when they witness, we ALL get butterflies in our stomachs when we engage in sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is no different than a soldier about to storm the beach with his platoon. He is going to be a little fearful. The important thing we have to remember is that we are involved in spiritual warfare. In view of this, we should not let fear be a detriment, but an Allie.

#1 – Assuming you are truly saved, what is the worst thing that could happen?

(Romans 1:16) “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”  (KJV)

#2 – You are Christ’s Ambassador – You have all of the authority in the world to share the message of Jesus!

(2 Corinthians 5:20) “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.”  (KJV)

#3 – The person you face may seem cruel and intimidating, but they DO expect you to tell them the truth and be real!

(Galatians 4:16) “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?”  (KJV)

#4 – The person you are speaking with or approaching is really more scared and intimidated of you than you are of them!

(2 Timothy 1:7) “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”  (KJV)

#5 – God’s Spirit will enable you to say and do what you need to do when soul-winning… regardless of what may strike fear in you!

(1 John 4:4) “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.”  (KJV)

Conclusion

One of the greatest things any child of God can do is to tell someone about Jesus Christ! Don’t let Satan dim your light by fear and intimidation! Everyone battles this issue so stay close to Jesus and keep on spreading the WORD!

Tozer Speaks: 128 Compelling & Authoritative Teachings, 2 Volumes

By A.W. Tozer / Wingspread Publishers

In this two volume set you receive 128 compelling and authoritative teachings by one of America’s most beloved preacher A.W. Tozer. Tozer’s sharp and incisive style may startle some readers, but what is to be gained from his wisdom and exposition of Scripture is immeasurable. Tozer Speaks includes well over one hundred sermons including:

• 50 Selections from his pulpit ministry
• 10 Messages on the Holy Spirit

• 12 Sermons on 1 Peter
• 12 Sermons on Well Known and Favorit Biblical Texts
• 12 Sermons on the Life & Ministry of the Christian Church
• 10 Sermons of the Voice of God Calling Man

Depending upon where you live on planet Earth, witnessing for Jesus Christ can range from relatively easy to risking death. I am still amazed why people get mad when you say that you are from such and such church and you want to share some things about Jesus Christ with them. Sometimes the animosity which surfaces can be very discouraging, but we must remember that people are held by the cords of their sins. One can expect spiritual opposition to appear when you share the gospel of Jesus Christ and it can take various forms. In spite of it all, witnessing for our Lord Jesus can be a rewarding and pleasant experience!

(Psalms 126:5-6) “They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.”  (KJV)

(Ephesians 3:20) “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,”  (KJV)

Simply put, prayer made the difference that day. If I had not been watchful in prayer before those visits, then I believe that I would have left that man’s house too early. I felt the Lord’s presence that afternoon! Remember to PRAYbefore you witness!
