Are You a Witness to What Jesus Christ has Done?
I recently was told by a person who professes Christ that they did not know how to witness. Friends, this ought not to be this way.
You see, to witness, is to simply speak about something that you have seen or have experienced. For example, if you were traveling down I-88 and saw a car accident, then you are a witness to that accident. Imagine now that when the police arrives, you would shrink away from speaking at all and think to yourself “Oh my, I do not know how to witness” or “I can’t tell them anything because I don’t know much about cars or accidents.”
No, you would simply tell the officer what it is that you have seen. You do not need to be an expert on cars, nor do you need to be a forensic accident investigator to be a witness at the scene. Just simply speak about what you saw, about your experience. The same is true for the Christian.
What is it that you have seen? What is it that you have experienced? What is that you have been saved from? Have you seen the heavenly vision……have you seen it? So quiet and dark yet at the same time, so awesome and wonderful. If you have had the experience, if you have seen the heavenly vision, then proclaim it as though you will never be able to proclaim it again, witness the rest of your life as a dying man unto dying men!
“Brethern, do something, do something, do something! While societies and unions make constitutions, let us win souls.”
~Charles Spurgeon
But if you are saying “I don’t know how to witness” I would ask you to examine whether your speech Should be “I don’t know what I witnessed.”
2 Cor 13:4-5
5 Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you - unless indeed you fail the test?
NASB

Not all of us are gifted with the right words to speak or scriptures to quote when we want to witness to someone, but God finds a way to help us witness. You have a gift that God is cultivating and using and I am thankful for your courage of conviction.
