Jan. 13, 2019 ~Excellent older sermon on evangelism.... I have always had the desire ever since I was saved in January 2005. I even spoke to 20+ people in one day at a mall. But, then I became less courageous to speak. I need to pray more fervently to reach souls. And I need not be afraid because my retired (Catholic) husband does not understand and I fear he will mess me up by interrupting me. Thanks for all you have done over the years. I notice that I am a little tough like you Ray. I don't like disobedience from my kids, my grandkids, others. I hope I don't mess it up. I have watched Way of the Master episodes for many years, every week. I know what to do. Pray for me to just do it again.
Man Ray I know these sermons are older but they're are so relevant in today's time! I've been enjoying your sermons. The past few days I've been watching them. I listened to three of them yesterday! Your he AR t for the Lord and for the lost is very very very encouraging! To this day you still do it! God bless you man! Keep doing this. You're changing lives and inspiring others🙏
I really love these older sermons on evangelism, they fill me with a fire to tell people about God. I too have fear of speaking to people, but I will keep praying!
So good! Your sermons have inspired me to evangelize ever since my mentor told me about The Way of the Master 3 weeks ago when our church was training us to do door-to-door evangelism. I’ve handed out tracts and been bold with sharing the gospel with strangers for the past 3 weeks. I had already been doing that with friends, on social media, with family, and at work but I have truly found a passion witnessing to strangers. Thank you for being faithful to share the gospel and train up the saints! You and your ministry are very much appreciated, Ray. 🙏
Thank You Jesus for Ray Comfort, his ministry and all those around the world seeking to serve You Lord. Please Jesus protect & guide your servants that our efforts would honor You, for Your glory.
Hi Ray, every day on my way to work, I pass right next to street boys sleeping on the town pavements. I usually have food in my handbag because I carry my lunch to work. However, I have never been able to go up to them, wake them up and share what I have with them. I just get so scared that maybe they could be thieves, or they may talk rudely to me, or sometimes I am just scared of not having something to eat at lunch. I am so ashamed because, how can I call myself a christian and not feel for them? I usually prefer helping someone from afar but not that close, as in not one on one. Ray, I need to be compassionate like Jesus, I want my heart to feel sorrow for them and love them and I need God to put that kind of love in my heart because on my own I cannot do it. I can't bring myself to do it.
Julie Makena I know this reply is horrible delayed, but... I feel you. I've been there myself. When I first shared my faith, it was terrifying. But I felt so much better afterward because I did it. At least I could say I shared my faith with at least one person. But now I'm trying to share it with more people. One thing I've learned is, putting it off just makes it harder. The longer you put it off the harder it gets. So, the only real advice I can give you is... Just do it. Your flesh will feel it for a moment, but then your flesh will adjust, as Ray says. And remember above all, God is with you, and he wants you to do this just as much as you do.
@julie MaKena. Well I understand the lack of empathy or compassion part because I too struggle with it at times. But I do not think you’re wrong in this particular instance. We are to exercise wisdom and discernment in all things. Not sure if it’d be wise for you to approach sleeping homeless men unless you feel and KNOW the Holy Spirit himself is leading you to do so. My mom was beat and sexually assaulted trying to help a man who asked her for water. We are not called to minister to everyone everywhere. Even Jesus himself didn’t minister to every single soul. He left multitudes of people behind and moved into different territories as led by the holy spirit. The apostle Paul planned to minister to people in Macedonia but was forbidden to minister there because the Holy Spirit sent him another way and did not let him go. Just be led by the Holy Spirit and he will not lead you astray. Blessings to you. 🙏🏼
@Julie Makena, The best way, I recommend for you, is to go with a gentleman who's a friend, preferably a believer. The holy spirit is leading you to these guys. Not Satan...so keep that in mind. Be strong and courageous. Street boys need the Gospel. :)
I used to swear so much. "GD" in every few words like salt in food. "Jesus Christ!" as an exclamation. I regret every instance of it, as it was absolutely in vain and every time without reverence. If hating anything I hate myself for being so blatantly disrespectful and hateful. I don't, at all, deserve grace or mercy.
