Witnessing is meant to naturally flow out of your life. It
was never meant to become a program that we follow or a se-
ries of philosophical books on a plethora of strategies to evan-
gelize.
Witnessing the Holy Spirits Way
Way back in the book of Acts and before that in the very life
of Jesus, we get a picture of witnessing. Jesus and the Samari-
tan womanJesus simply initiates a short conversation and
declares that He is the Messiah she has been waiting for. Jesus
did not use a Heaven and Hell message here. There is nothing
wrong with those messages, but they are not appropriate for
every situation. The Word says:
...of some have compassion, making a difference: And oth-
ers save with fear, pulling them out of the fire: hating even
the garmet spotted by the flesh. Jude 22-23
All through the book of Acts, we see the Apostles healing and
preaching in everyday life: on the street corners, in the Temple, in
homes, and in Synagogues (the churches of those who had a fearful
knowledge of God, but not the complete truth of God). Only after the
Church grew by thousands in this manner, did the Apostles begin to
carry own Evangelistic Movements (Philip in Samaria) and Mission-
ary endeavors (Paul & Silas).
Dont stress about witnessing. Simply take the opportunities you
have. Perhaps youll stand on a street corner or go door to door
those are the types of things the Early Church did! Go and share.
The Holy Spirit will empower you. And there is a special empower-
ment of the Holy Spirit available when you receive Him with the evi-
dence of speaking in other languages. I encourage you to ask the Lord
for that special anointing and exhort you to remain faithful to Christ
and to firm standing in Faith in the Lord Jesus and the Bible.
Witness by following the Holy Spirits prompting.
