Your Mouth

If the Lord has opened your mouth, the devil cannot shut it; but if the devil has opened it, may the Lord shut it up!"Charles SpureonOne of the excuses that people us why they don't share their faith is they may not know the answers to some questions. First, if you share just one small thing about Christ to a lost person you did more than the majority of your fellow Christians.Second if you ever find out you don't know a answer, tell them that that is a good question and can you talk to them again when you find out the answer. You will find out people will start to open up to you more about the spiritual things if they know you are open to talk about them. The key to any conversation is to trust that the Lord will speak and work through you. I pray every day for God to give me people to talk to about Christ and that He will give me the words that that person needs to hear. If I try to do it myself I WILL crash and burn. It is amazing how God works and how a simple question you start with someone can lead to them coming to know their savior. But you first have to start that conversation about the Lord. Pray everyday that God will give you people to share your faith with and keep your eye's open to see them. God will not put a flashing sigh over their head for you but you will know them when you speak to them. Pray for wisdom and knowledge of God's word every day. He says in the Bible that He will give it to us if we ask for it, but you must ask for it. I never pray for people to see it my way but to see it the Lord's way, not my will but his will be done! I can be wrong but He never is.
