This is really scary for me, for I know I have messed up witnessing so many times. And I have to wonder what the Bible is saying about this. Will I be giving up inheritance for every person I was led to witness to, but God forbid, did not? Will I be held repsonsible by my own blood? What does that mean about the blood? Is it that I cannot see fully the Majesty of God when we get to Heaven? I have a really terrible track record on witnessing, and I have tried to make up for it in other ways, but I know I will be held responsible for whoever I did not attempt to stop them from journeying down to the Lake of Fire.

I have to wonder also, it seems like the people I try to witness to, is it just me making this up? I seem to run into people who are hard headed and hard hearted. I really don't know how to speak to people about Christ. But I do try to witness, I talk about the law (see [url:1o75xo1d]www.wayof%20themaster.com[/url]) and about the accounting they will have to give on the Day of Judgment. Maybe I have false beliefs in me about this.

Big cuts, big bruises, so is the Life of BlueRiverTributaries. I REPENT LORD GOD, of it all.

GOd Bless you everyone.

Take heart, when I have missed an opportunity to witness because I was afraid, or unsure, or for whatever reason.....I immediately pray to ask the Lord to send someone in my place. To open the person's heart that I was to witness to so that they can receive it, and that they would come to salvations thru Jesus Christ. I don't do this lightly, it is with a heavy heart and the disappointment I felt from the Lord. Please remember, ask God to save them and remember there is FORGIVENESS!!!!!!!!!! Tell the Lord you are sorry that you failed, and have courage to just step right out and try it the next time. When you witness, pray first, listen to the Lord and say what HE wants you to say, no script because only the Lord can see our hearts and knows what we need to hear to open our understanding. Always pray before you witness to make sure you are not jumping ahead of God. Many well-meaning Christians have driven people away by being too zealous and too much about the law and not enough about God's love and the gift that He gives us for free. Some people think they are not worthy so they resist the Lord out of their own guilt--but they would never say that to us and be so exposed. Some people have hard hearts that only prayer will unlock. God is no respecter or persons.... He can use anyone, anytime, in any way that He chooses to accomplish his purpose. If you have asked forgiveness, also ask for courage, boldness, and the words to use next time. Any remember, my dear friend, condemnation is from the enemy. If you have asked the Lord to forgive you.......it has been removed as far as the east is from the west!!

God bless and be encouraged dear Christian.....God is patient and kind if our hearts are pure!

It seems like we all have to fail at something; witnessing is my piece of the puzzle that I fail at so many times.

Like today, with a heavy heart I failed to go back to the store to tell the clerk (in front of a security camera and customers) whatever it would have been the LORD would have said through me. Keep in mind I am still weary from the *UNEXPECTED* encounter with the cop. But yesterday, when I was at a party, I did witness to four people. I explained to them the square, the circle, and the inverse, and how it all relates back to God. See, everyone accepts Geometry, and its AMAZING how everything goes back to God.

It touched my heart, one of my longtime friends who is MainStream Christian said 'I've never thought about it like that before.'

And I also talked to a woman who actually came up to me and asked me if the water (I had bought water at a store and was carrying it) was on sale! I mean, she came up to me; I wasn't looking for her! And she was the nicest lady, and I gave her the entire message. And when she saw that I had a large pile of Aquafina water bottles and dried fruit and nut packages, she looked at me and said in the sweetest grandmother voice, 'I'm going to put away some food too.'


THIS IS THE HARDEST THING FOR ME!

You have no idea.

GOd Bless YOu all
