Anyone have any good stories of witness , God has called you--through The Great Commission-- to lead others to Him. Have faith, Christ peeps, the Lord leads, put one foot in front of the other and faith-walk, my brothers and sisters, and, wait on Him, you are His vessel, you will steam ahead, you will never run out of fuel, you will go, go,go, His power in you, you will.NEVER sink, He will even, in your roughest (persecuting) waters carry you. Pray for His blood of protectiin, Christ's blood will do so much 'great' for you.

I wait for God to reveal the open door and then I go through it.. I have tried direct approaches and that seems to really turn people off. I also found if i wasnt in tune with the holy spirit to say "there it is, now speak" I missed an opportunity all together.. I have found in trial and error "of my own", that God doesn't force himself on us or require anything from me.. Only to believe in the renewing and transforming He is able to do in the battlefield of my mind .. When the student is ready the teacher will come..God has shown me it's not about seeking out anyone , but instead be awake and sober minded of any person who has fallen or is lost standing in front of me.. I listen and engage with people , if I see an opportunity to relate to a person and share what God has done for me , that is when i feel the "nudge" from the Holy Spirit indicating to me "now ". otherwise I do as Jesus does for me and listen..Gods timing is better than our own .. I have also observed many people running to people, places and things instead if going directly to God Himself.. We wonder why we end up in arguments , could it be we are seeking answers from the wring places?
Every question I have , I first go to God with it.. Without fail, he always brings an answer. I ask Him my questions before asking man , hand the question up to Him and do as He says "lean not onto your own understanding". Seek and you shall find, knock and "I" shall answer. He has revealed things in such a way that I know it did not come from man.. Because the way He reveals it is so outside the box of mans thinking.. I dont want to even think I know the answers.. Because in truth it all comes from God and those Who are wise in directing us back to Him..

I agree, Powemm. Sometimes we say "I want to help", but we ignore what we were given to do...I wonder how many times God's going to say to someone someday, "I DID give you someone to help. You simply decided that they weren't important enough." Or, perhaps we were hoping that they'd start telling us about their life before we said anything to them at all, or ask us first what makes us so different from all the other people. When that happens, great, but I think that many people don't realize that simply starting a conversation with someone will often give them a chance to share more. Especially when the other person is younger; SO many children and teenagers these days are taken care of physically, but not spiritually, mentally or emotionally. They'll REALLY often jump at the chance for a friend, especially on the internet. If we'd only just listen and do as we are led..... I agree, it's great to have God point out to you someone who needs help, rather than us seeking in a "I'll try everyone in the chat room; probably one of them wants to listen". I think we'd all do well to quiet ourselves and ask Him, "Sir, please point out what You want me to do". He surprises me a lot of times .
I agree, Perk; thanks! Yeah, I used to be kind of down on the internet, but I realized a while back that it's kind of like almost anything. You can use it for good, or you can use it for bad; it's your choice. The fact that it's anonymous can be used for evangelism for scared teens, or, more recently, a young Saudi man who was SO scared to be here (I believe the penalty for a converting to Christianity is still death for Muslim citizens of Saudi Arabia ). He ended up saying "yes" to Jesus, PRAISE THE LORD ! The anonymity of the net was very helpful in this case . Back to the original bit, books, knives, television, and come to think of it, even sex can all be used for evil OR good; it's your choice. The fact that the net is so often abused doesn't mean that we should steer clear; just that we need to be careful, that's all. I'm sure everyone reading this doesn't mind the net TOO much, considering where I'm typing this , but at first I thought of the net as being more evil than it was. It's really a tool, and the end result of its use depends mainly on the user's motives, skill and determination.

What jilly said, pow, excellent what you said and she, praise be to God whose Spirit leads us and we follow, we are to just go, be with Him, always, at His beckon and ready for His 'call' Faith of a mustard seed t'aint much like looking but it be able to move your life greatly with its little weight concentrated on, praying to Him . My mantra for life is very simple, not always done, nevertheless, I still TRY my best (perfect) to do it: Thy will be done

Why, thank you, Mr. Greenie .
.
Jilly, you are bold , I Love the way you run your 'race' for Jesus, others who don't know it when they meet you on c.c., I believe, love you too, for your no-holds barred spreading of a simple belief in Jesus saves, for the Holy Spirit works, and, greatly so, through 'that.'
'Yes, you can' be president, now that Hilary has taken herself out of the running.
Maybe, go for the senate first , cuz yer still a little young
God bless your work for Him, always,Love, showing His, I hope and pray, green
Hehe, you sometimes make people wonder what you mean by all your quotation marks, Mr. Green. So, thank you, I think (?).
"Lord Jesus, please bring more people onto the site who need help, and bring the right people to them to minister to them. Sir, PLEASE bring more workers into the harvest; those who are led by the Spirit and want to see your Kingdom purposes fulfilled. Please let 2013 be an incredible year for souls won for You, Sir; even if we don't get to see it happen. Reveal to the lost Who You are, that You love them and gave up Your life for their sins' atonement just as much as mine and the other believers. Thank you in advance for all the ways You're going to work in 2013. In Your mighty, awesome Name, amen!"

!"You guys, we have a new sister! A few hours ago a young lady accepted Jesus in the youtube room ! She said that she came here to see if accepting Jesus was the right thing to do, and she did, and she's so happy !!!!! I told her that she just made a party in Heaven, what with all the angels rejoicing . Her screen name is BonnieSmiles, and let's properly welcome her to the family !!!!!! Oh, and like it says on here profile page, she's deaf, so if you see her in the chat room, type what you want to say .
Disclaimer: I wish I'd been there, but I thought she was watching a video, so I left and sent her a message in the mail, only to be told in her reply that a lady had come in the room and prayed with her already XD!
