How many of you witness to at least two
friends a week? How many of you know one verse
about witnessing in the bible? Name one in
your mind. With your Bibles, turn with me to 1
Timothy 4:12-13. That verse has helped me when
I was going through some tough times. At one
point in my life, I thought that everyone
hated my guts, I was tempted to run away. But
I started to pray more and get closer to God,
even though I was getting away from my friends
I was getting closer to God and he was the
only friend I needed, because If God was on my
side everything would fall in to place. After
that I guess people saw the glory of God on
me, Cause I would be in a store or something
and just say Hi to someone and they would just
start telling me their problems. Therefore,
then I would get to witness to them. In Luke
21:13 it says that God is counting on us to
witness. I mean, God didn’t put us on this
earth to be born and stupid, get saved,
worship Him, and die. He put each and every
one of us here for a purpose, and that purpose
is to witness and get other people to Heaven.
There are only four ways to get people saved:
1. Witness 2. Pray 3. Read your Bible 4. Lead
them to the Lord. There was a man, he is one
of my heroes, some of you might know him but
his name is Smith Wiggelsworth. He never went
more then 15 minutes without reading his Bible
or praying. I believe that is so true. We need
to start doing that and stop caring about what
is in style, and trying to beat that game, but
give God your time. I heard my youth pastor
once say, "A sinning man stops praying,
but A praying man stops sinning." There
are a lot of people who watch you, it
doesn’t matter who it is their watching, and
if you are such a good Christian at church and
a liar or something at school that makes real
Christians look bad. So what do people see in
you? Do they see a Christian or a
non-Christian? Back to 1 Timothy 4:12-13, if
you look at Verse 13 it says that we should
speak the Gospel publicly. If we start doing
that then a lot of Christians will take off
their camouflage. In Ephesians 6 it talks
about the armor of God, let me run through
them real quick: belt of Truth, breastplate of
Righteousness, shoes of Peace, shield of
Faith, helmet of Salvation, and the sword of
the Spirit. Those are the weapons we need to
have so we can witness. There was a guy who
came to a convention thing and after a while
he got saved. Well, he told the head dude that
he would do anything. He said would vacuum,
mop, dust, clean bathrooms, clean up vomit
from the drunken people that came in. In
addition, one day another homeless man came in
and this guy got him saved. Therefore, one day
the pastor of this convention came in and he
saw this young man on his knees praying. The
pastor walked by him and heard him saying,
"God let me be like James, I want to be
like James. James was the first guy I told you
about and the one that got this guy saved.”
The pastor looked at him and said, “Son, you
should be praying to be like Jesus.” This
guy turned around and asked, “Is Jesus like
James?” So I have one question for you, What
do people see in you? Do they see a Christian
or a lukewarm sinner?
