Caption: Prayer is a major part of our evangelism program in my church because we understand that without engaging the Holy Spirit, receiving His power and thereby inviting God to lead our evangelism campaigns, and as a result we will have the confidence required to trust in His ability to save life through us.
Key Word / Text: Acts 1:8 (NIV)“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Food for Thought: Have you ever approached someone to witness to them or an outreach event and found yourself lacking confidence? Or you were not sure what you would say? Your throat became dry and you started to sweat? Or worse, you decided not to witness because you didn’t think you could do it? – A lack of confidence rooted often in fear is a common occurrence in evangelism namely due to a lack of power. For Christians, power comes from the Holy Spirit, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Without the Holy Spirit we can no nothing and therefore it is important for us to seek the power of the Holy Spirit in prayer daily so that we are equipped and ready to witness with a confidence that God will move as it is His Spirit that leads and guides us.
The Weekly Challenge:
1. If you do not already, start praying daily for all those who you will meet and witness to, that God will open their hearts before you even meet them / see them again and that through your contact they WILL be saved.
