Here's an update on my ministering to someone. Turns out he was lying about praying. He hadn't been doing it at all. So God led me back to what he had led me to do in the first place. He led me to believe that I must be like Jesus, be a hard worker, and tell him that God wants him in His army. So I need help with the first two. Any suggestions on how to do them?

Â Once we've witnessed The Gospel to someone we should pray for God to open their heart and mind to 'hear'. Sometimes it may not be time for our planted seed to grow with those we witness to. God has literally shown me that at times. I would witness to a non-believer, and then ask them questions of what I tried to sow, and their answers showed they 'understood' at that time. But less than a week later it was as if our conversation had never taken place. What I had planted was gone out of their mind. Since then I have accepted that God has different times for peoples as to when they will come to His Truth and understand. I also have no doubt that everyone will... come to know His Truth, and that for some won't be until Christ's future "thousand years" reign in our near future. Per His Word I've also accepted the fact that some, even after being given to 'know' His Truth, will still not accept Him and will perish of their own choice.
