OVERCOMING THE RESISTANCE TO BE A WITNESS

(NKJV) Romans 12:1-2 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”


(NLT) John 15:19 “The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you.”

 

 

WE ARE CALLED TO BE A WITNESS:


(NKJV) Acts 22:15 “For you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard”

 

(NKJV) Isaiah 43:10 “You are My witnesses, “says the Lord, And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He.”

 

(NKJV) Acts 1:8 “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my WITNESSES to Me in Jerusalem, and all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”    

 

 

HOW DO WE WITNESS?


(NKJV) 1 Timothy 4:12 “Let no one despise your youth, but be an example TO THE BELIEVERS in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity”


(NKJV) James 3:10 “Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.”

 

(NKJV) James 1:19 “So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.”


(NKJV) Matthew 5:8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.”
