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. 

I think dealing with holy spirit comes in baptism, the author of the thread seemed that he hasn't baptism yet.

The minute you become a believer in Christ,you will be sealed with the  Holy Spirit

And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,Eph.1:13

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.

That very confession is a mighty strong testimony for any witness to be sharing. Might just  start right there, almost verbatim, with that inviting question included, "can you believe that?".

other than this i am clueless as to what ready is

I once heard a pastor say to a person, with the same questions as you are asking...

He said to the effect of this...the quality is in the seed, yes they are farmers of different skill levels who know exactly how to sow the seeds at what time and when and how they should be sown, and if the ground is worthy to take the seed, But if you have the true seed of Salvation, a person can even sloppily and carlessly just start tossing it around and it may not hit the correct ground in the correct ways as much as the hand of the skilled farmer, but some of those seeds you have sown will end up in the correct ground and take root,....

and remember He has you right where He wants you right now! And you can just keep your faith that the seed that has taken root in you will continue to grow and become more hardy, and start to branch off into great insights one day,as it is fed.. and hunt for Wisdom Knowledgde and understanding as Hid treasure in His Word and Thru His Spirit.

Have a awesome Journey!

I prayed to Jesus and reading Gospel, I found difficulties that someone prevents me, but you see no body, it's not devil, from my background in Islam I know how demons work.

Hi Ahmed,

The Holy Ghost coming upon you when you are saved is the peace that comes knowing the burden of your sin is lifted off of your shoulders and forgiven by the Blood of Jesus at the Cross. This is why the Dove is associated with the Holy Ghost, and with peace in our world. Have You felt this Peace, when you were saved? If Yes, then the Holy Ghost is in you.

As You walk in faith He will guide you and convict you and sanctify you, cleanse you from the inside out, Not just forced obedience to a law but obedience that springs from the heart. He enables us to love as Christ Loved us, and that is with Agape Love, as opposed to the love that needs something in return.

After You have been saved for some time, the Holy Ghost will come upon you in Power and give you gifts that you can serve God. For some Christians this comes at Baptism, for some it is seen as a separate baptism of the Holy Spirit. Baptism is just an outward sign of an inner conviction, a time when you are pronouncing to others your faith In the death burial and resurrection of Christ. Coming from a Muslim background this may be a hard thing for you to do, I do not know your situation per se, But do not think you do not have the Holy Ghost if you have not been baptized, or that you must be baptized to go to heaven. 

God Bless

In first time I prayed, I felt something good in my heart but next times, something prevented the same feelings, and when I was active in reading Gospel, something prevented me for that I take 2 days or three days until I decide to read Gospel again.

That is the Devil Trying to rob you of Your Joy In Christ Jesus. As soon as you Believe Jesus, the Devil will come in and say you are not worthy, all you need to do is remind him that I am forgiven by the Blood of Jesus and he will go away, as he cannot cross that blood, there is power in the blood as the old Hymn says. All new Christians have these doubts, and they will even beat themselves up because of feeling unworthy, that is because We are saved by Grace, Not by our worthiness. Grace from God is not deserved... You need to learn how to trust in His Grace. The devil wants to make you feel unclean, remember always you are clean by the blood of Jesus. When You understand this, the Gospels and the Holy Ghost will explain this better to you. Start with the Gospel of John, and read the first three chapters. Pray for the Holy Ghost to teach you as you read.

God bless.
