Speak Openly Girlfriends!
Nov 24

Have you ever had the privilege of leading someone to the cross of our Lord and Savior? If so, you know that speaking to them about how to receive eternal life was necessary. In fact, the Word of God tells us, “… how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?”
So now you may be thinking, “Where’s my pastor? Obviously he is the one who preaches. I’ll let him tell everyone I know!” Uh, girlfriends… I hate to tell you this, (Well, not really, I am smiling as I tell you this because it is the truth.) you are the one God has commanded to openly tell others about Him. All of us are to openly share the truth about our Lord and Savior.
If you have remained silent, it could be due to fear of rejection. This is a threatening tactic the enemy will use to keep you silent. Scripture shows us we should not worry about what people think of us, but we should be more concerned of what God thinks of us. Or perhaps you just did not know it is your responsibility. And now that I have just told you God’s Word declares you are responsible, you can no longer use that excuse. Sorry girlfriends! 😉 There is also one other possible reason you do not share your faith. You do not know how. If this is your reason, then enroll in evangelism training at your church.

Dearest girlfriends, let us speak openly about the wonderful gift of eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.
God sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. We saw his Son and are now telling others about him. God stays one with everyone who openly says that Jesus is the Son of God. That’s how we stay one with God and are sure that God loves us. ~ 1 John 4:14-16 CEV
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” ~ Romans 10:14-15 NIV
I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. ~ Luke 12:4-5 NIV
… Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. ~ Acts 18:9 NIV
… Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. … ~ 1 Peter 3:15 NIV
And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. ~ Colossians 4:3-6 NIV
