Best way of Witnessing, is to witness in the Character of Christ.

3 Things Jesus did as a Witness:

Jesus always treated everyone as God’s highest creature.
You’ve never heard Jesus say things derogatory towards anybody, when he looked at a somebody, he saw a person before a sinner

What made Jesus so approachable, was he way HE approached people.
Always with Grace and Truth.

How could he love Judas? He washed Judas’ feet
Because Jesus, has a wider vision, This person has a purpose in God’s plan. We need to have this vision also.
His Words Save, never alienate.

Jesus ALWAYS gave himself first

We got to break away from our comfort zone!
Live your life according to what the LORD has designed for you!

Jesus was always an advocate, a witness!
Satan, stands (means) “adversary”.

How many times us as Christians stand as WITNESS instead of ADVERSARY?

The key to the last example, is to approach in an unforeseen angle.
“Break the ice”, “Be kind”
Approach people, from an “unforeseen angle of elevation”.
Jesus treated the Samaritan woman, just like any other woman.

Live a life led by the Spirit, NOT doctrines.



Sunday april 8th

The importance of Worshipping and Witnessing.
Both things are essential.

The doing of witnessing – Acts 1 -8
How is our God being portraited?
Witness and Testify the incredible largness of being God’s creatures.

The World expects us to be “Moral Police.”
What if we come in an “unexpected angle”.
How Large is Jesus in us?
We are born to be witnesses, born with a compelling passion within.
It’s a real blessing to Witness

Watchman Nee once saind:
“The two happiest days in a Christian’s life is the day they are saved and the day they lead somebody to Salvation in Jesus Christ”

Get people in the “Witness zone”, The Holy Spirit is not only for our own consumption.

WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT.

Is Jesus, The Lord of your boat? If So, believe he’s LEAD you to that place.
If Jesus is not leading, than He’s NOT your Lord.

Follow the Spirits leading,it’s not hard to follow the leading and make sure you follow the WILLING.
Conduct yourself with Wisdom.

“Unexpected angle” = Seasoned food
Chinese people, call “non Christians” as “Gospel Friends”, that is an example of an Unexpcted angle;

Witnessing includes Sacrificing things you are accustomed to.
If Jesus Christ who is God, died for me, than there isn’t too big of a sacrifice We can do for him.

The Door waits before us, are you ready?
