 I am curious to know how other people witness. Something I have not done lately, but God has been clearly speaking to my heart.  My pastor says to shine basically, and I know that is definitely a part of it, but I don't see how anybody relates that to Christ, unless they understand the reason for your light.  Then years ago I've been told to, (if your appropriately walking with Christ) that people will want what you have.  I guess then you must throw in mention of your faith to connect it to that.  Well, anyway, I would really like to know what other people do!  I believe people have different ways of doing it probably.  I don't believe in a one size fits all in Christianity.  Otherwise we'd all be the same.  How boring would that be!

You witness by:

1. Experiencing something... and

2. Telling others about it

Preach always.

When necessary use words.

First of all you have to have a knowledge of who Christ is 1 John 1:1-3.The power of our witness is the Holy Spirit Titus 3:5.A person needs to be familiar with scripture 1 Peter 3:15.It is how I live my life.What I say and what I do Philippians 2:15.

To be the salt and light of this world Matthew 5:13.

To do what is right when no one is watching.

I have a lot of friends from Moslem background, they know that I don't keep their holidays, but they proud to talk about theirs. So I listen, and ask some questions, and leave at that. 

And then, the master plan. One day I said to the one who was telling me about their holidays. Last Sunday I went to baptism!!!

O, yea, what is this, tell me about it.

Thats it the door  open, in my description of the events, I mention the Gospel of reconcilation, the forgiveness of sins, and the eternal life, and the new heavenly inheritance .

When I was first saved I went about condemning everyone as sinners on their way to hell and speaking bible verses at them arguing out of the law their need for Christ as Savior explaining to them that we all sin everyday all day and that we would never overcome sin but that through faith in Christs finished work on the cross we would be saved anyway.

My expeience was that people hated me and didn't want anything to do with the things I was preaching and at first this was evidence to me of the persecution I would receive as a direct result of preaching the gospel.  But one day something inside of me directed me to verses that spoke about how the common people heard him gladly,  the Jews feared Jesus because the people loved him and that even as a child he grew in favor with men.  So then I was convinced I was doing something wrong.  

I then met a man, who grew up Roman Catholic and still a member today but who disagrees with much of their teaching, who took me with him to minister to others and also counselled me daily.  I was taught how to listen to others by him and how to address their needs using scripture without quoting chapter and verse.  He taught me that once they tasted the word, even paraphrased, and were able to apply tge principles to their life they would grow hungry for more.  When the time was right we would give them a full understanding of the gospel message.  Although we were not overbearing with Romans Road we always made sure that those we ministered unto knew that we did it out of love for God through Christ.

We were careful not to condemn but rather to point out the full affects of sin in the peoples lives by sharing our own experience, what we were like,  what happened, and what we are like now.  The message was always that power over sin comes through the Spirit of God through Christ but those words only come when we are able to demonstraight that power through works.

I still minister this way to this day.  I find that most people are not repulsed by my preaching any longer though they do not care for knowing they cannot deliver themselves from sin.  None of us do!

So I assume that these are people who already know you that you both are talking about.  Know you go to church/ are a christian.  What about those who don't know that?  As I said in my OP, how can somebody connect it to that without knowing why you are exhibiting that salt and light.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
