Quote:“And just to show you how simple it is, to you housewives, now. See? You say, “Oh, Brother Branham, if I could preach!” You don’t have to. You just…You’re a testimony. You’re an influence; your life.And she got some tracts, and went out on the corner, advertising the meeting, and passing them out. Every time somebody get a hold of it, they’d throw it down. “Holy-roller! Fanatic!” And walk on. See?A little old boy come by, with ragged trousers. His daddy’s suspenders up over his shoulders; hair hanging down in his face. Said, “Lady, what are you giving away?”Said, “A tract, son.” She handed it to him, like that. He looked at it, said, “I can’t read.”Said, “Well, it says there’ll be a meeting tonight, up here.” “Oh,” said, “it will? You mind if I come?” Said, “You want? You must come, honey, if you can.” “All right, I’ll do that.”That night, after all of her efforts, and weak. The old faithful minister come, got into the pulpit and prayed. Sung a song, him and the lady, and she sit out as his audience.After a while, staggering in the door, was that little ragged-looking kid, the hair hanging down in his face. You know who that was? Dwight Moody. That night, he knelt at the altar; sent a million souls to God. See? You don’t know what you’re doing. Speak a little word for Jesus Testify, sing, or pray, And like bread upon the water It’ll return to you someday.That’s right. All right. Just remember, don’t fail, don’t fail; win some souls! Whatever you do, win souls.”

Scripture: But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Acts 1:8

Lesson: Witnessing to someone can be a very hard thing to do. It can be intimidating to know what to say or even how to approach them. But it’s a comfort to know that the footsteps of the righteous are ordered of the Lord! God is with us each time we witness. We take no thought to what we would say but just let Him use us as His mouth-piece. Many times we don’t have to go out looking for someone to wit-ness to; they come to us. There is a difference between a Christian and a person in the world, and people see that by the way you act, dress, and talk. Many people will see that Christian life reflecting through you. We witness daily to the world without even approaching anyone! We also have many tools to help us witness to someone. We can point them to the themessage.com, hand them a tape, or give them a witnessing card from our wallets we are making today!
