Though many soul-winners, pastors, missionaries and Christian workers seem as though they do not get scared and intimidated when they witness, we ALL get butterflies in our stomachs when we engage in sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is no different than a soldier about to storm the beach with his platoon. He is going to be a little fearful. The important thing we have to remember is that we are involved in spiritual warfare. In view of this, we should not let fear be a detriment, but an Allie.
#1 – Assuming you are truly saved, what is the worst thing that could happen?
(Romans 1:16) “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” (KJV)
#2 – You are Christ’s Ambassador – You have all of the authority in the world to share the message of Jesus!
(2 Corinthians 5:20) “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.” (KJV)
#3 – The person you face may seem cruel and intimidating, but they DO expect you to tell them the truth and be real!
(Galatians 4:16) “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” (KJV)
#4 – The person you are speaking with or approaching is really more scared and intimidated of you than you are of them!
(2 Timothy 1:7) “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (KJV)
#5 – God’s Spirit will enable you to say and do what you need to do when soul-winning… regardless of what may strike fear in you!
(1 John 4:4) “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” (KJV)
Conclusion
One of the greatest things any child of God can do is to tell someone about Jesus Christ! Don’t let Satan dim your light by fear and intimidation! Everyone battles this issue so stay close to Jesus and keep on spreading the WORD!
