Is It Guilty Not To Testify ?

[OneLight]

Well said Greg. I would also include that we should seek the leading of the Holy Spirit. Too many times Christians jump ahead to the Lord, in all good intentions. I, for one, have, in the past, boldly gone up to a sinner that was on my heart, swallowed hard and spurted out that they needed Jesus in their lives and that they should repent and accept Him as their Lord and Savior. Well, it really went bad ... they did not accept Jesus and did not consider me worthy to talk to in the future. If I had the leading of the Spirit, things would of gone right. Pray before making the move, if they have not asked by witnessing your walk.

There is a time for everything ... the Lords time!

its guilty if you do not testify i know when ever i get the chance to share i do as i do not want to see my loved one or those close to me going to hell as hell is real and its one of satans tricks to get us feeling guilty when the truth is right in front of us

it took me time and i have no shame in proclaiming the gospal to the lost as when you get a taste of what hell is it is then you wil not stop testifying

dont worry what people might say to you as by you sharing you have planted a seed and that seed will grow and some one else will harvest what you planted

if you are feeling guilty ask the holy spirit to help you deal with this to wear you can be at peace with in your self do not let this eat at you

read matthew 16 read from verse 19 parable of the rich man to verse 31

i did this i was told before i read this verse ask the holy spirit to open your eyes to the truth of his word as he is there to guide us and help us

some might have a diffrent oppinion on this to what i have given you to look at

what works for me wil not work for you so you need to go at this in your own pace not at something you might have heard

did you hear this at a church service to the question you are asking hear ?

Bhakthi: If you don't mind me asking, where do you live? If it is dangerous for Christians there, then by all means be cautious about who you testify to, but you might secretly leave a gospel tract or two in public places, might you not?

Leonard, I live in Dallas Texas,Thanks for asking.Mighty is the Lord in this area.Jesus is Lord in Dallas as the Father has given him all authority in heaven and on earth.He is the heir of the world as you know.I attract atleast 20 people a day to the website I started to spread the Gospel.But I had to quit my job to do this.There are lots of oportunities in this area.Told 500 juvelies in the prison about God's love and forgiveness.Thank God and give him all glory.

But fools' reproaches are everywhere.You know !

Sounds to me as if you are definately spreading the message of Gods Love and plan for eternity!!! Awesome!!!!

" From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." Luke;12;48

"That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. 48But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows."Luke;12

[bhakthi]

What good is our words if our lives don't reflect what we have to say?

I think that initially our actions often speak much louder than any words.

I have heard pople bringing up many excuses fot not testifying .People who are too shy cant' do this job.

"I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God. 9But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God. "12;9

The very least I can do is wear a Christian t-shirt when I'm out in public. I like this one shirt I have that features a picture of Jesus' hand nailed to the cross and the phrase "Body piercing saved my life." A tip regarding that: don't look at any person who's reading the shirt or they'll stop reading it.

Also, when I used to go to different secular forums, if forum policy permitted it, I would either have the plan of salvation or a link to an online Gospel tract in my signature.

I agree with afal back there...some of my rewarding witnessing has been those who inquired about what they see in me or about me. Once I was invited to a new age gathering because of the 'LIGHT' two people saw in me. I was just eating alone in a resturant...after assisting a older woman to her car after it had snowed...Although I did not take them up on the invite I explained to them what they were seeing and about Jesus and the Salvation message.. They both got saved. I remained friends until we relocated.

That's a great testimony, patrica1! There's no light like the Light of the world.

I am sure The Blood of Jesus makes the devil very disturbed.And it reminds me of the song..."There is Power Power womder working power in the blood of the Lamb ."How true! That song is really like celebrating the Lord's victory on the cross.

Now Thank the Lord Jesus for bruising satan's head on the cross.

"The God of peace will crush satan under your feet shortly.'Romans;16;20

It is the BLOOD VS THE ACCUSER ! It is the power of the BLOOD that deals with the accuser !

And nothing else works more effectively.And let the Blood do its work.
