Today you will encounter many opportunities to be a light for Christ.
The mistake most believers make is attempting to use persuasive words of human wisdom. Or, they speak words of religion which usually fall on deaf ears.
To be a powerful witness for Jesus you must be one with Him. This is a daily process of prayer, listening to His voice and asking to be filled with the Holy Spirit. This will give you the resurrected power and wisdom of the Living Christ.
The goal is to understand or have insight into the personality and emotions of the person you have encountered so you can reach out to him in a way that can only be from God. The challenge is to touch the unbeliever’s hot button which will arouse all kinds of responses.
Point the unbeliever to Jesus never to religion!
Jesus never preached to the woman at the well. He told her about all the details of her past and offered her Living Water. This created a powerful move of evangelism in the Samaritan community.
The Christ follower must have the mindset that the Holy Spirit (who lives inside you) knows all about a specific person and has the perfect method to touch someone with the reality of the Living Christ. This is letting the Holy Spirit work through you to accomplish the purposes of God.
Sometimes a smile and cheerful voice is all that is required. And other times the Holy Spirit will instruct you how to deal with the person in a ministry capacity.
If you are going to be a powerful witness for Jesus pray for the Holy Spirit to equip you with the gifts of the Spirit. They are powerful tools to draw people to Christ.
Learn to be anchored to the Holy Spirit at all times. He will perform powerful signs and wonders through you.
The reality of Christ saves lives!
