  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect

• 1:35
  Speaker 2: figure life out by ourselves. Please fill us with your
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Holy spirit in Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and Amen again.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: There are times that we need tips so that we
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: can actually apply what we live, what we do, and
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: so we're going to begin. We're going to begin with
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: First Peter chapter three, Versus eight and nine, and see
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: what we can glean from that. The Bible reads, finally,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: be all of one mind, having compassion one of another,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: love as brethren. Be pitiful. That's a tip you want
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: to You want to know how to to share Jesus Christ.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Have pity on people. Be courteous. That's a tip you
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: want to know how to share Jesus. Be courteous and kind,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: not rendering evil for evil. Wait a minute, railing for
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: real railing? Oh okay, So so we're not going to
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: give people the negative energy they give us if they
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: are vile toward us. We don't have to be vile
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: toward them. Hmmm, We're not going to be revengeful or vengeful,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: but contrariwise blessing. I'll read it again. Finally in all
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: you or finally all of you, be harmonious, sympathetic, affectionate, compassionate,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: and humble. Do not return evil for evil or insult
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: for insult, but instead bless others. God wants us to
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: be a blessing to others. I think we are clear now, okay,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: So he wants us to be compassionate and share the
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: feelings of others. So when witnessing begins with how to
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: treat people, it's not an evangelism class that says, how
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: do you teach the twenty three hundred days prophecy? Which
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I am not minimizing by the way I'm saying, that
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: is not the beginning stage of witnessing. You think about
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: a person being on the quote witness stand they are
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: to tell their observed experience the reality of this. So
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: witnessing begins with how to treat people. A consistent life
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: of compassion and recon inspect opens hearts before words are
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: even spoken. Now we have cracked the code. We make
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: it so complicated sometimes within our faith, fellowships, when God
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: is saying I need you to follow the second and
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: great commandment to love your neighbor as yourself. Break that
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: down into practical reality, practical steps, practical details. So what
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: is the action step. Choose one person today and treat
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: them with intentional kindness and attention. Yeah, let's go to
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: our second lesson. Somebody just got that's like, what is
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: that simple? It is that simple? Yes. Indeed, from the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Bible Book of Isaiah, Part of Me, Chapter fifty and
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: verse four, the Bible reads, the Lord God hath given
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: me the tongue of the learned, and I should know
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: that I may know how to speak a word in
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: season to him that is weary. The Lord God has
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: given me a tongue of the learned, that I should
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: know how to speak a word in season to him
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: that is weary. In another version, it reads, the Sovereign
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Lord has given me the capacity to be his spokesman.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: God wants you to speak for him. Brothers and sisters. Yes,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: and the light and the light supposed to shine in
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: the darkness. Brothers and sisters, let your light so shine
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: in this world. This wicked and perverse generation. So when
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: they see, when people see your good works, they will
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: glorify your father, which is in heaven right. The sovereign
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Lord has done this because he wants us to have
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: a word, a word, share his word to the people,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: his message for the people. This is a spoken expression.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: It's not just a concept. Okay, and so and so
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: we read also finally from One Peter, chapter three and
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: verse fifteen. But set Christ apart as Lord, or sanctify
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: to give a reason or an answer to every person
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: that asks you, an answer for what, an answer about
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: your faith, an answer about what great things God has
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: done for you. Not to answer trivia questions like who's
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: maladak Baladan, like who is jl. He's saying, when I'm
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: in you and you are and I have been set
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: aside or set apart in your heart when people are around,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: You're always ready to do what to share, what great
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: things God is doing for you, how he has been
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: faithful in the past, what He is doing for his people,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: even in in this case twenty twenty six. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I won't make it any more complicated. God prepares both
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the message and the moment, So we need to be
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: on the lookout for that moment. God, is it now, Yep,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: It's now. Go Ah. The believer stays ready, sensitive and
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: grounded in the truth. Ask God today to give you
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: one opportunity to speak a timely word and stay alert
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: for that timely word. And then the back end of
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: that same passage in First Peter, chapter three and verse fifteen,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: it says that we are to do this with meekness
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: and with fear, or do it with courtesy and respect.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: That means gentleness, that means controlled strength. And then in
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: verse sixteen, having a good conscience that whereas they speak
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: evil of you, they may be ashamed falsely accuse your
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: good conversation in Christ. And so the truth must be
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: shared with gentleness and integrity. Character confirms the message and
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: builds trust over time. When people are reading your life,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Paul said, we are epistles, living epistles, known and read
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: of all men. That means we're letters hah, that God
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: is writing to people, known and read of all men.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: What it's the practice in that case or the action step.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Evaluate your tone and approach today and sure your witness
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: reflects both truth and grace, and sure your witness reflects
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: both truth and grace, not just what you say. Brothers
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: and sisters. I want to make sure that you get
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: this part. It's not just what we say with our
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: mouths or what we type in social media or in
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: our truth filled literature. What God is saying is that
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: we need to live this. It's our privilege to live it.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: So when people see us, they're not seeing a contradiction.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: They're not trying to figure out why does this not
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: line up? Why does that life that's so called witnessing
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: to me not line up with what they're teaching me.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: And in the book The Ministry of Healing, some of
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: you were thinking about this passage page one three. I'll
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: read some of it. Christ's method alone will give true
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: success in reaching the people. So much more to that quote,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I want you to look that one up and then
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: let me know in the community what you learn from it.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: And Ministry of Healing page one three. Make it a
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: great day, y'all, peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris, make it a great day. Yeah,
