Reading Francis of Assisi and
Watchman Nee I came to a huge realization about my faith and how I came to
Christ, which I won’t get into, but let’s just say it was a huge encouragement
and it helped me understand some things that are important.
Honestly I’m not really sure the
last time I actually “shared the Good News” as in like the Roman Road or
anything, but this past week I've had a lot of opportunities to talk to my
brother (an agnostic who recently became curious about religion and now isn't sure what he believes) about the true love of God and some about what being a
Christian really means.
I know I need to become better at evangelism but I
hesitate with it because I would much rather show my faith with actions, not
words. Yes actions are important, but I know there are times when you need to
straight up talk about it.
Steps to take in order to be more faithful in this
area would be number one: ask God for help. Ask him for conviction of when to
open my mouth. Ask for distinction of when to speak and when to listen. Ask for
help to know when to stop doing, and when to start a conversation. Then number
two: be very sensitive to the Holy Spirit and wait for a command; listen and
pay attention to him. Also if he is calling me to do something, to be faithful
and disciplined and do what it is he tells me to do. I can ask for God’s help
all I want, but if I’m stubborn and selfish and not willing to actually do the
work I would not be obeying my Father and his commands.
