looking for advice!!

[Guest Angel_Eyes721]

Hey everyone!

I'm not a new Christian but I'm new to REALLY sharing my faith with others and leading them to Christ. And I was wondering if anyone could give me advice and helpful hints in doing this. Like a "Do's and Don'ts" list to witnessing!

I would appreciate all of your advice and/or personal experiences very much!! Thanks!

Much Love,

Krystal :il:

John 3:16

Just be yourself, and reach out to others in Christian love. You don't have to preach, but let your actions speak louder than any words can. Let them ask you why you are so positive all the time.

Greg Laurie has some great booklets on sharing your faith in a genuine way.

Do: Tell them how Jesus changed your life and why you love Him.

Don't: Tell them they are going to burn! (my sister's old technique)

I never told them to their face they were gonna burn!

Angel, the best thing you can do is to tell what God has done in your life. Give your testimony. We have to be real, I hope you understand what I mean by that. Don't speak "Christianese" to them. Some people go through the Romans road, some just tell them "Hey Jesus died for you"! I have been watching"The Way of the Master" on TBN and I am going to include a link, cause I think that the way they teach how to witness is great. They first show the person, that they are in need of a Saviour, then they go on from there. I hope this helps!

All I can tell you is how it happens when I do it. I'm what I consider shy or something, although not nearly as bad as I used to be. Anyway, when talking about God to someone, face to face, especially about salvation or about something He had done for me, my biggest problem would be tearing up and crying. You know how hard it is to talk with a big lump in your throat? LOL?

Anyway, that's better now. I don't witness to every person I meet, but I try to let the Holy Spirit lead me on that. Sometimes the feeling is so strong, I can't ignore it, and I try to talk with whoever the person is I have that feeling about. I witness online from time to time also, which I personally find easier (the shy thing), but that feeling is still there - like I should talk with them. Sometimes it's extremely strong, to the point I cry while typing, because I desire that person to be saved so much, and I know how much God does also, and how much He loves them. If they don't respond after several attempts, eventually that feeling goes away, and I don't just keep pushing it. I figure that was my "seed" planted and somewhere along the way God will have another person to water it. Or else I watered someone else's seed, however it may be in the particular case.
