How to Evangelize the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Many people ask me how I know how to Evangelize. Here's my reply...
I begin each day by prayerfully, reading and searching God's will through His Word. For as long as it takes, I ABIDE IN GOD THROUGH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST BY HIS SPIRIT OF TRUTH."
By doing so, God continually reminds me to STOP LOVING THE WORLD & MYSELF. (Starting out with the world takes my eyes off of God and my heart away from Him-causing my heart to focus on something other than His will for me).
Afterward, I go out into the world TO CARRY OUT HIS WILL & DEMONSTRATE HIS GREAT LOVE FOR THE LOST & HURTING. (God uses specific instructions from His Word to show me how to complete my next task. Then, His Spirit leads me to a particular person in need).
PLEASE NOTE THAT...When we try to fabricate a reason to share the Gospel, the desire comes from our own flesh! Our efforts are meaningless to the other person and to God! But, when we abide in Christ and Christ in us first, God will stir up our souls with an earnest yearning to see lost souls saved."

July 16, 2013: My Personal Journal Entry: 1 Peter 3:1-2 Submission first begins with Jesus our LORD!

Dear LORD, I am sorry I have not written for the past two weeks. I have become utterly consumed with treating my husband as though I am serving You personally. As You know, there have been times when I’ve had to stop myself from reacting to utter madness.  But a simple prayer to You helped me to remain tenderhearted, quick to forgive and compassionate towards the man You’ve chosen for me.
I must say, it feels good to refuse to give into temptation or give the devil ground. And the sweet unexpected touch of Your love and kindness that follows each trying moment continues to fill my heart with a desire to try even harder the following day.
What I realize now, is that You are far more interested in my character than my comfort. Now, as I sit here quietly alone reading Your Word, savoring this tender moment, I receive the confirmation I so desperately desired upon my return home.  And, I find that I through it all, LeeRoy’s baptism, my hasty move out of our home, and in the life of an unequally yoked marriage, only a kind and gentle spirit can demonstrate Your loving grace.

Today, I will meditate upon Your Word which instructs, “Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear.” (1 Peter 3:1-2 NKJV). I love You LORD Jesus. Amen.
