How to share Jesus Christ effectively
First, pray for yourself the following prayer
from [Colossians 4: 3,4 (AMP):
Heavenly Father, I ask you in the name of Jesus
to open a door to me for the Word ( the Gospel),
to proclaim the mystery concerning Christ...
that I may proclaim it fully and make it clear
[speaking BOLDLY and unfolding the mystery],
as is my duty.
Second, if you believed that you received what you just requested
then according to Mark 11: 24 say the following:
I thank you Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus,
that a door is open to me for the Word (the Gospel),
and that I proclaim the mystery concerning Christ fully
and make it clear and speak it BOLDLY as is my duty.
Third, expect and look for opportunities to SHARE what you believe.
A receptive person will ask questions and listen calmly.
BUT DO NOT get into arguments!
The Word teaches us in [2 Timothy 2: 23],
"REFUSE (shut your mind against, have nothing to do with) TRIFLING
(ill-informed, unedifying, stupid) CONTROVERSIES
over ignorant questionings,
for you know that they foster STRIFE"
Fourthly, begin to study the Word in earnest,
meditating (repeatedly speaking softly)
on passages of scripture important to you.
Prayer for Hope, Joy and Peace
One certain way to get blessed is to be a blessing to others
and that is as easy as breathing out the following prayer:
Petition: Heavenly Father, I ask You, the God of Hope, in the name of Jesus Christ, to fill...(NAME)... with all joy and peace as he/she trusts in You, so that...(NAME)...may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Acknowledgement of receipt:Heavenly Father, I believed that I received, in the name of Jesus Christ, what I just prayed for when I prayed for it.
Thanksgiving:I thank you Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ,that...(NAME)... trusts in you and that you are filling him/her with all joy and peace as he/she trusts in you, and that...(NAME)...overflows with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
