The Beginning Of The End?

[existential mabel]

oh my i am not ready i still have much to learn and yes my own wee pitiful self...i know its all about Jesus ....but i dont ever thiink that i can witness to my family or friends or strangers.

i am confident of my salvation now since learning about what true repentance means

 

i have zero ability to share the gospel as i am only now learning what the actual good news is can you believe that! i have been so blinded and for so long.

other than this i am clueless as to what ready is i dont mean in the worldly sense ie panic buying etc..

i am confident of my salvation now since learning about what true repentance means and not what the church has (evangelical one as the C of E doesnt even cover things like this)

oh sure i will have doubts especially when folk try to tell me different a worldly view of repentance- aka rcc and then subsequent churches imo.

You should not worry about your ability to witness to others. Perhaps in the future you will be more comfortable with this. God has an abundance of mercy and grace.

Rely on the Holy Spirit to help you in witnessing. Whenever I witness I pray that the Lord give me the words and open them up to gospel message. If I had to rely on myself alone, then no one would hear my words. 

As far as being ready, its just a continual walk with the Lord, in growing in faith.

Jesus is true light for world, you need not sending worldly messages after you know him truly, beware of those who have no faith in their hearts because they are like as if they have minds only, all the world was put in evil one, so they work according to world nature, don't be one of 'em, beware of that.

One way to Jesus,we can only know Jesus if we realize He died for us on the cross,all other ways are sinking sand,no Allah or Buddah or any other religion can save us,only a personal relationship with Jesus .

Mabel, you probably are ready right now. If Jesus came back today I'm pretty sure you'd be going with Him. I read many of your posts and I hear a young woman with a real love of God. In many ways you remind me of myself when I was younger. I was never very good at "witnessing", I'm still not. But I used to fear getting laughed at and now that's gone. Now I'm bold but I still don't waste my time trying to tell people about Jesus when I can sense they just aren't interested.

I don't know your age but I think you're under 30. More importantly is how many years you're saved. I'll guess that number is under 10. All of us true Christians grow and change as we go through life as believers. You probably think you're not ready because you haven't grown to the point where a person saved 30 yrs is. But how can you be, you're not saved that long yet. God knows this, He knows better than me or you.

Mabel,don't worry of how to witness,let your life be your testimony,pray for your loved ones and ask God to let you know of when to speak to them,He will give you the right words,when you start praying for them,God will prepare their hearts to listen to the good news messages,Jesus still saves...  And He hears you and knows your prayer even before you say the words

The heart that desires Him God sees...

There’s a lot of good advise on this thread from people who’s hearts are after Christ, and you. Be blessed as you continue to learn of Him....... My words  of encouragement for a heart like yours would be, to, “fear not, for it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom” and with that teach you all you need to know. 

Be blessed as you, me, all who’s hearts are after Him, as He feeds and causes growth.....

i understand now why having a personal relationship with Jesus is  Prerequisite and imperitive  because of all the wolves out there and then also the decieved folk and my mission should i choose to 007 is to keep my eyes fixed on Jesus and be led by the Holy Spirit and maybe once i can get a handle on the biblical truth and can see it then...

cough sneeze .. much coughing...urm.. bit older than 30 lol! but i am young in the Lord that much you got bang on the 10 years!

i have a quiet voice and folk keep saying pardon or most likely pretend that they can hear me! also people quite often irl invalidate me or i get too contentious!! so not a good mix at all!! but i am repenting as in changing my thinking about this i cant turn away from it as its ingrained and that only reinforces my handicap as i think oh dearie.

wheras if i think..' Mabel it would be a good thing to change this,' but i am not going to beat myself up as plenty of other folk do that! metaphocially  that is!
