039 How To Apply Your Faith Part 12

How to Share your Faith PT.4! What else can I do?

What You Will Hear

• Ask for the heart, strength, perseverance, patience, gifts, and the willingness of your church to obey. Ask for more prayer warriors!
  
• Effective witnessing comes out of our devotional life and gratitude toward Christ, not out of obligation!
  
• Ask God what the needs are, and for Him to reveal those as well as opportunities to meet them.
  
• Make sure you care, and have an attitude of love and concern for the people or person to whom you are witnessing
  
• Ask God to send His Spirit to soften the hearts of people so when they hear His message, they will respond.
  
• Make a list of all the people you need to pray for, the concerns of the town in which you live, and other concerns God gives you.
  
• Know that God can and will use you, no matter how little or how much you know.
  
• According to surveys from The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and others, over 80% of people who come to the Lord are led by friends-not events or crusades! In addition, 80% of people who do come to know the Lord at crusades were brought there by….friends….people like you and me!
  
• Depend on the Holy Spirit Develop Real, Authentic Relationships!
  
• The keys to Andrew's, Philip's, or anyone's good, effective witness? It is prayer and the ability to develop relationships!
  
• Are you a maker and builder of friends? How so? Why not?
  
• Be purposeful! To whom are you going? We need to have a target before we can aim the Gospel!
  
• Be real! Caution! Be genuine! Guard against only getting to know people so you can witness to them.
  
• Be excellent! Do not be a nuisance, especially at work.
  
• Be willing to take the time!
  
• Be a friend winner!
  
• Be a smile maker! Smile at people!
  
• Be a person who uses people's names! Call people by name!
  
• Be engaging! Speak to people! Take the chance! Step up to the plate! Venture beyond your fears, and engage someone in dialog.
  
• Be friendly and helpful!
  
• Be caring! Be genuinely interested in people! Take the time to listen and show you care.
  
• Be pleasant and cordial! Be a person who is nice and engaging to others. Speak and act as if they are the most important persons in the room, and do so as if it is a genuine pleasure, as it should be!
  
• Be considerate with the feelings of others! It will be appreciated.
  
• Be thoughtful of the opinions of others.
  
• Be an encourager! Be generous with praise!
  
• Be cautious with criticism! No one likes to be patronized or put down!
  
• Be ready to give your witness!
