Acts 1:8 tells us the Holy Spirit empowers us to witness. It is easy to share in our own strength and abilities but the result is always frustration and failure. Only He can change hearts! Paul mentioned this principle again in Col.1:28-29, saying, "We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me." If you're tired of trying to share the Good News in your own energy and strength (I think that is the number one reason people get frustrated with it and quit sharing) it is time to do it in His power. There are tons of frustratingly inaccurate ideas about what that entails and I don't have time to go into it all here but want to encourage you to check out the MP3 below for more about what God's Word says about this. Then, keep applying the 27 creative ways of sharing your faith that we've listed here (and any others you have found useful). Have a great day sharing your faith!!!
