Trouble in Witnessing?

W
Welch Jun 24, 2005

I've found something that has really encouraged me and I hope it does the same for anyone who reads this. Of course a simple solution to being unashamed of the spreading of the Gospel is to have Christ and his truth first in your life but what about those people that are so hard to deal with because of their unbelief? Billy Graham put great emphasis on the soul, and rightfully so, as it is the one thing in us that longs to be with God unlike the flesh. The Word say's that we where created in God's image, well since God is a Spirit and is everlasting, obviously, The Bible is not speaking of our always dying and limited flesh... he's speaking of our souls. Now with that in mind, some of the hardest to witness to are the so-called atheist of sorts. I beleive they have either forced themselves into believeing otherwise or are lying to themsleves at that very moment and will continue to do so until they allow their pride, subconscious or willed, to give way to God's unending mercy and love as the Holy Spirit Calls. The reason I believe this is if the fact's are that everything is created by God with special attention to the soul then our sould show special attention to Him as well. Granted the Holy Spirit flows with the will of God and stirs the spirit of conviction within us our souls are begging us to find it, the part of us that is most like God is ready to return from where it came, the hands of the Creator. Simply put, 'God's fingerprints cover the creation of our souls.' At one point in everyone's life they've though because of the mystery within themselves 'who is it that keeps calling me?' So my encouragement to those of us that are planting the seeds of God's eternal love and grace, keep strong when you come across those that claim there is not one in whom we believe. You can know that through your prayer and witness that the seed you planted while causing confusion and strife in thier flesh, the Spirit is calling to that old farmiliar soul to return to that master from where it originally came and cleanse the new believer's sin in God's everlasting grace and mercy. I love you all.

Billy Graham put great emphasis on the soul, and rightfully so, as it is the one thing in us that longs to be with God unlike the flesh. I will take this on board in a new way. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. This deserves more thought and Bible study on my part.

Psalm 63:1 O God, You are my God: I shall seek you earnestly. My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

The flesh of a Saved believer may yearn but not the flesh of a lost soul. Their flesh tells them to fill the Gap inside with wordly things that truly only God can fill. This scripture, I believe with my limited wisdom given by the grace of God, is reffering to a Christian who is truly living a God fearing life. One without compromises and/or habitual son (sadly those things reflect most Christians lives today) this is the Scripture of a daily maturing Christian, and we should all strive to be believers who's lives reflect this passage. Regardless, my first post was designed to encourage those who may be trying to witness to those who say their is no God or ask for proof of God. Thanks, I love you all!

Ray Comfort has what I believe to be the most Biblical form of evangelism. He says go straight for the conscience. A video of his on the subject is available on this site under the heading, "Atheism." Anyone who has open air preached over three thousand times, including the streets of New York and Israel has got to have some good insites.
