Be sure to pray that God will make a way for us to spread his message and explain the mystery about Christ, even though I am in jail for doing this. Please pray that I will make the message as clear as possible. When you are with unbelievers, always make good use of the time.
Colossians 4: 3 - 5
When customers came to his barber shop he always prayed that God would show him how to share the message of Jesus with those who didn’t know Him! It was closing time when a young man asked if the barber could cut his hair. The barber apologized, said “no” and closed the shop. He could “share Jesus” the next time the man came in. A few days later the barber heard that the young man who wanted the hair cut was murdered that very night!
God will make a way for you to spread the message of Jesus, but you must say yes to the prompting of the Holy Spirit to tell someone about the Lord!
You can be sure that when the Holy Spirit is leading you in any direction, the Enemy of all mankind will try to lead you away from God’s will. If your “walk with Jesus” is without opposition you should ask the Lord to confirm that you are going the right way!
Satan wants you to get discouraged and quit walking in the way the Lord has told you to go. He will try everything in his arsenal to stop you from doing what God has called you to do.
Let the attacks of Satan simply confirm that you are indeed walking in the right path!
You can be sure that there is someone who will cross your path today who needs to know more about Jesus. The Holy Spirit may know that you will be their last opportunity on this earth to hear the Good News.
“Lord Jesus, I can always find a “good reason” not to tell someone about you. Give me the courage today to ignore all the “good reasons” to keep silent and to speak the Message that all men need to hear! Praise Your Holy Name now and forever. Amen.”
