One of the
most joyous and thrilling experiences for a follower of Christ is sharing God's
truth with others. Unfortunately, some people struggle with
"evangelophobia," the fear of sharing the Gospel. But take heart,
because the Holy Spirit provides an incredible opportunity to join Him in
touching lives with God’s truth.
In Mark
chapter 13, Jesus delivers a serious discourse about future persecution, the
end times, and His second coming. During this profound message, He reassures
His disciples that when they face persecution (and they will), they won't need
to worry about what to say because the Holy Spirit will give them the words to
speak. This amazing promise applies to us today as well!
Imagine
this: standing before someone, even your toughest critic, ready to share the
wonderful message of Christ, and the Holy Spirit astounds you by placing the
perfect words on your heart! You suddenly recall Bible verses you haven't
thought of in months, or even years. You have no idea how those words came to
you, but you feel an extraordinary boldness, and you share what the Lord has
given you.
Sharing your
faith through the Holy Spirit is a beautiful collaboration between your spirit
and His. Supernaturally and mysteriously, He guides you with gentle nudges,
placing thoughts and feelings on your heart to create a powerful and genuine
message that resonates with the listener. Your words become infused with the
Holy Spirit's power, leaving a lasting impact.
Building a
deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit is essential to overcoming
"evangelophobia." Pray, spend time in God's presence, study
Scripture, and take small steps to share your faith. Remember, with faith and
the Holy Spirit by your side, you can face any situation. So the next time you
feel that nervous flutter before sharing your faith, don't be afraid! Pray, ask
for the Holy Spirit's anointing, and watch as the evangelophobia disappears
from your life. Let go of any anxiety about sharing your faith. When the moment
comes, He will equip you with the perfect words, a gentle nudge in the right
direction, and His still small voice in your heart.
May the peace of Christ be with you as you venture into new and uncharted waters. May He remind you of the incredible promise Jesus made — the Holy Spirit will be there to guide and empower you to be His witness.
