Walking around downtown Minneapolis knowing that they very streets I was walking on were streets full of alcohol, drugs, and violence was a big eye opener for me. I never really fully realized how blessed I am until then. Some of the people that we talked to, you could just sense their loss of hope. They have no hope apart from Christ. Some people in this world might never hear about the Lord Jesus Christ. And it won't be their fault. So who's fault will it be?
In Romans 10:14 it says:
"How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?
and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?
and how shall they hear without a preacher?"
It will be our (us Christians) fault. Some of us (including myself) get very excited about the thought of witnessing but when God opens the door, more often than not, we walk right past it instead of entering it. That is Satan discouraging us from doing what is right. Discouraging us from fulfilling the Great Commission!
Matthew 28:19-20
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you and,
lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world.
Amen."
The best way to start witnessing is by sharing our own testimony of how we got saved! I want to encourage us (myself included again), as believers, to enter the door to witness instead of it being wide open and walking right past it.
