Fearless-Factor - Deuteronomy 31:8

Are you afraid to speak the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Do you feel if you speak the Gospel and one does accept Christ you failed? I have shared the Gospel many times in my Christian life. I have only said the sinners prayer two times with a non-believer. If these statistics were for a baseball player, I would have been fired. My batting average would be .002. Who would want me on their team? No one. I would be the last person picked for the Lead others to Christ kickball game. My average is really low. The Great News is Jesus still wants me on his team. He hasn't traded me, or placed me on the bench. He is letting me play the entire game. Think of the Master, the "Way of the Master". Jesus did miracles right in front of others, healed the sick, feed the hungry and still people did not accept him as Christ. If Jesus, The Way, The Truth and The Life, had people walk away from him, then maybe I wasn't that bad. My goal is not to save the world, Jesus is the only one who can do that. It is just my job, not to be afraid to tell others about Him. When these witnessing opportunities are placed before you, go for it. The Fearless Factor for today is Deuteronomy 31:8 "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you: he will never leave nor forsake you. Do not be afraid: do not be discouraged." God can use your efforts to save others. The Bible talks about the Mustard seed and that it is the smallest seed one can plant. But doesn't a Mustard seed grow to be a tree none the less. When we speak to other it doesn't mean that they didn't receive the Truth of who Jesus Christ is. It just takes time for them to grow and blossom. Be Fearless and Quiet No More.
