Go Find A Live One To Ride….

Here’s something believers should always remember when witnessing: if after you’ve presented the Gospel clearly, and the recipient still rejects your message, smile, quote John 3:16, and be on your way. There’s no point beating a dead horse. God grants everyone the choice to love Him back, or reject Him. It’s not up to us. We are to present the truth to others. Their choice in how they respond, seals their fate. You can usually determine this within the first 5 minutes of your conversation. You will never convert a lost soul no matter how hard you try. That’s God’s business. Our business is to live a life of gratitude towards God, love others, speak truth, and point others to Him. That’s it. It’s God’s job to save people. Be confident in God’s abilities. Stop trying so hard to save the world. And don’t beat yourself up when you come across an obstinent soul. Be sad, but don’t think it’s because you didn’t have a “good enough” testimony. Your testimony is the best witness you’ve got. People’s receptiveness to the Gospel is directly related to their own choice of rejecting God. God initiates every single salvation experience. Instead of trying to beat a dead horse, get off, and go find a live one to ride.

7 And He called His twelve disciples together and began sending them out two by two, giving them authority to cast out evil spirits. 8 He told them to take nothing for their journey except a walking stick–no food, no traveler’s bag, no money. 9 He allowed them to wear sandals but not to take a change of clothes.10 “Wherever you go,” He said, “stay in the same house until you leave town.11 But if any place refuses to welcome you or listen to you, shake its dust from your feet as you leave to show that you have abandoned those people to their fate.”12 So the disciples went out, telling everyone they met to repent of their sins and turn to God. 13 And they cast out many demons and healed many sick people, anointing them with olive oil. Mark 6:7-13
