Prayer Request

I have been thinking a lot lately. I prayed the other day for Christ Jesus to exalt His name in my body. Low and behold I faced two times I witnessed for the Lord Jesus Christ. Both people rejected the Gospel message. One, my friend, told me I was going to hell because I don't worship the Sabbath day on Saturday. In fact seems like everyone I have spoken to Jesus Christ has rejected the Gospel message. I looked and examined myself according to God's Word, thinking it was me. As time went on I saw, no matter what I said, Jesus Christ was rejected. My wife witnesses Jesus Christ over the phone to a lady friend of hers, and asked her to say the sinners prayer (this was two years ago). Low and behold the woman was saved. I really thought I was doing something wrong then. Should I ask people to say the sinners prayer? Should I not mention the scriptures no more in conversations? Should I just love them and hug them, and they'll see Christ? All these questions came to mind. I even remembered the voice of my blogging buddy Bro Lawrence D saying "Bro, what God has called you to do, he may not have called me to do!" True, so true, but I seriously thought something must be wrong in the way I am giving God's truth.

"And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12 ESV)
"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. (John 6:44 ESV)

It takes the work of God's Spirit to save men. By Christ men are saved, not by me. Not by what I ask men, tell them, ask them to pray about etc etc. The Lord Jesus Christ is the One who saves, not me. I got it!

So please pray that I continue to stand bold for the Lord Jesus Christ and that I do not get caught in certain methods and ways to give the Gospel. Pray that God's will is done and that I totally decrease and let Christ Jesus do the saving. God bless you all
