Joy In Sharing Jesus

Joy and I are always wanting to share knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ together to as many people as we can. We think we are more successful following the biblical pattern 'Two are better than one' Jesus disciples were sent out two by two. Paul often had others with him as he proclaimed the gospel. There is no doubt there is a comfortable feeling experienced when we are in company as we seek to share our faith. ~

The people we meet also feel at ease when a man and woman are witnessing together rather than singly. Especially if a man is wanting to talk to a woman. Far better for a number of reasons why it is better to witness together as a pair. Now, if we have met with Jesus Christ in an unmistakeable way then we are the best witnesses to share with others the wonderful changes He has made in our lives. We are 'new creations' (2 Corinthians 5:17)

The peace and joy in our lives should be evident to our contacts for them to recognise what they are missing. His great sacrificial love to be made known. Equally importantly, when we have received Jesus Christ as our own Saviour and repented of our wrongs, acknowledging Him as our Lord, The Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirits that we are the children of God. We are privileged to have access to that holy boldness as we come to our Lord in prayer to receive the strength by faith and the ability to share our faith. We then may go with confidence as witnesses bearing witness to the amazing relationship and fellowship we have with Christ on a 24/7 basis. We then commit our way to Him and to meet whoever the Sovereign arranges to cross our path each day. ~

Although we are saved and cleansed through the efficacy of the precious blood of Christ poured out for us on the cross and have full assurance of peace with God we have to admit we muddy our feet daily. Our part then is to keep close to our Lord acknowledging our faults quickly and getting a clean sheet and then we can be assured He will use our witness effectively as He shines through us to a very needy people who have not benefited from that vital union with Him. We speak the Truth in love, leaving a tract if possible with a contact number and proceed on to our next encounter. The joy we have when sharing is sometimes overwhelming and we then realise how privileged we are to be part of Christ's mission on earth in 2013. ~

Joys Prayer ~

Gracious God and loving Heavenly Father, ~

It is true that two are better than one when sharing our faith. If we do things your way we know we shall have success. Time and time again we see in the Scriptures people who mess up their lives as they go their own way and fail to do things your way. ~ Thank you for the reminder that You will equip us. May we know a more intimate fellowship in prayer with You this year. Help us make progress in our prayer life and to experience assurance that You want to speak through us in our daily walk to others we meet. Help us to show Your love now to others! In Jesus name,

Amen.
