There’s only one mistake, and that’s “sharing” your “faith” in the first place. It’s a meaningless exercise that serves only to feed your own pride in your choice of religion, and arrogantly disrespects the notion of your god’s ability to help people believe if it really wants that. If you really honestly have faith, just sit back and let your god take care of who believes or doesn’t... since you’re likely to do it wrong anyway.
@@davidk7529 Dear Sir, you're free to not believe in anything. That's your choice. So why are you watching videos for Christians?? You've got no reason to come on here and voice your atheist beliefs like as if its actually going to do anything. Its Not! I have a little story to tell you then I'm going to ask you a question. Let's say you work as some executive in an office in a skyscraper. Somehow a fire develops on your floor. The only way down is down the stair well. As you're heading down you see a man that has lost his sense of sight, smell and hearing. Instead of warning him of the impending danger. You pass him by thinking of your safety first. What do you think he's going to say once he reaches the top of the stairs? "Why didn't someone warn me of these flames?" What kind of person are you my friend? Are you the type that will lead others to safety or are you the type that thinks 'every man for himself' and basically you care only about your own safety? Christians try to lead others to safety by trying to save as many souls from Hell as possible because the majority of the human race will end up going to Hell. Im not making this stuff up nor any Christian today. Its the sad truth. Oh yeah that's right. You believe the Bible is fiction and full of fairy tales. Well, if that were true then there wouldn't be prophecies in their foretelling future events. Last time I checked books of fiction don't foretell the future. It has even foretold every important detail about Jesus' life. These prophecies are hundreds of years prior to him coming into the world about 2 B.C. There is 66 books (originally written on scrolls) in the Bible today. This is what is said by one of the authors in the last two verses. "This is the disciple who is bearing witness about these things, and who has written these things, and we know that his testimony is true. Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written." John 21:24-25 ESV bible.com/bible/59/jhn.21.24-25.ESV I'm sure you don't care to understand but to express your own opinion on the matter.
My church back in Illinois was very apologetic/ evangelist seeker oriented church. They teach friendship evangelism and write a curriculum “Becoming a Contagious Christian” by Lee Strobel & Mark Middelburg. May churches tell congregations to tell others about Christ but do not offer training. Training is very important. We need the knowledge to better equip us.
I'm such an extremely shy reserved person and recently I have the urge to tell people the gospel but it's very hard for me to approach people and I found this video. So blessed by this video. God bless you brother.
Oh sister it’s ok,God created us all different. Just ask God to provide people who are more reserved as you are to share the truth with,for the work is abundant but the laborers are few❤️😉

Sister Ramirez Natividade,please firmly Belive the Eye Name of God is YESHUA in Hebrew. as A great SAVIOUR HE was Born in Israel HIS Chosen people speaking Hebrew. Every name is unique absolutely NO TRANSLATION in any language. HIS True Name is ELOHIM YESHUA HA'MASHIAC, meaning: GOD YESHUA THe SAVIOUR..the Roman empire conquered Israel long time ago burned the Original Hebrew Bible, changed The True YESHUA into a big lie Jesus because the Roman popes wanted to spread the idolatry worship to the whole world. Sister Ramirez, Clear Truth is perfectly different from big lie.please Believe for your SALVATION. ELOHIM YESHUA Bless you sister and your loved ones
Absolutely. Just as the Apostle Paul had preached, it was not with wise and clever words or with persuasive speech in which he preached the Gospel, but solely on the power of the Christ, so that the message lay on the foundation of God and not on mans abilities.
You are a very good preacher, Joe. I am a believer, I have been since 1980 yet I still get fed by your ministry. God bless you, and all the glory to Jesus.
Bc when we hear TRUTH we fall under conviction and w. guidance from The Holy Spirit, we are turned toward a righteous response...a quickening of our own spirit and the fear of The Almighty! One cannot fail to have a visceral response to the gospel message calling for ever deeper commitment and consecration. (IMHO).
Tip for shy people: give away the booklets! Just say, “did you get one of these”? And hand them the book. That’s it! Or, you can put them in a bag with a note that says “God wanted you to find this” , or something like that. God bless everyone!😊
@@jeepsishumate2021 if it's not needed to speak to people to preach the gospel what's wrong with a quieter approach? If you would rather be less confrontational it is a good approach
thank you so much for this! i think these are very dependent on the situation. 80/20 sounds right. "but faith comes from hearing and hearing from the word of God". I may end up doing most of the talking about Im engaging and asking questions as i cite scripture. As far as starting with small talk to me that seems very misleading. I'd rather start with the Gospel and then express my interest in them. I'd rather the foundation of my friendship be the gospel. Again, its very dependent on the situation. If i'm out doing outreach i always start with the gospel. If its a casual encounter i always start with small talk but look for ways to engage in spiritual conversation. Like Jesus talking about living water, or Philip the evangelist with the eunch. Thank again!! these are very encouraging videos!

#5 also applies to prayer. people think God will hear them more if they talk on and on and on in prayer. it's okay to give a short prayer to God. it's all about sincerity and how heartfelt your prayer is.
Why wouldn’t you want to continually talk with God? He wants us to. He is not human where we apply 80/20 whatever!! Prayer life is a Christian’s power along with the Scriptures!! What are you saying?!! 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Colossians 4:2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. Ephesians 6:18 Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.

PRAYER is TALKING with Christ and the Father and His Spirit. Reconsider your viewpoint and repent from it..., you risk your eternal life.
I think I needed to hear this sometime I just don't know what else to say and I feel like I'm not giving the lord enough of my time which I'm not but how many people really give God enough time
Same problem , its not a sin in itself in my opinion but its not pure 100% some emotions and admire is involved and i dont know if its okay but i think its outcome is not good
I've shed many tears over the last few days that I lost this video on prayer (alongside many others) but the Lord in His goodness has allowed it to be restored - I will explain in a another video soon. Please go and watch it, if you haven't seen it already: ua-cam.com/video/OaUn8tKVl7Y/v-deo.html
I've found since my receiving the Holy Spirit, that He's naturally been using me outdoors and my love of nature to connect with others, so I often just say how I love to commune with God while I' outdoors, how I can see and him Him more clearly through His creations..., that gets them talking to you about their love of the outdoors hence having a normal conversation then I share my experience and back it up with the Gospel. They at least thing you are reasonably normal to begin with lol
Genders separation is such a blessing I never knew until being a part of a real Christian community and this is fantastic and I had no clue what I was missing and how safe and encouraging the separation can be and how it keeps everyone moving forward without distractions, I say it's a top 10 thing on multiple levels that has benefited my journey with christ
I’ve learned to be a good listener and just share the gospel calmly and kindly. I’m not there to be “right”!..And. Always always leave each other with respect and on a good note..You taught me that Joe!
I agree Mary. We allow the Holy Spirit to speak through us when we are given the opportunity to share the Gospel. If we speak the truth from the Gods word and do so with the intention of leading someone to Christ and NOT for personal gain then the seed will be planted and the Lord will make it grow :) God bless!
I was sharing my experience with God this morning. I was on a high high spirit because I felt the holy spirit God was enveloping me was with me so I was really happy excited today then I got a text from a girl we used to be roommates together. Her room was just a wall beside me. I was sooo full force spilling everything I could think of without even backing off and hearing her properly but I knew she was going through a hard time she is a sweet soul but she went to the wrong people and take wrong habits from them. I think I didn’t do so good but I trust that God is already working through her life because he has plans for her. I am just glad I watched this video after just doing this an hour ago
Unfortunately I go through the same thing, I'm really eager and want to share the gospel to so many ppl but I'm so scared and shy, I wish I didn't care about what ppl really thought of me and wasn't so afraid on how others will judge me
@@nnuveohombre I recommend training courses.. together with Others. We Had to do practical exercise in Bible School and I hated it..but we went in pairs so one could speak whilst the other prays silently.
Thanks so much for this, I live in Libya; a country with a majority of Muslims. With that fact, I always needed something like this for clearance. Thank You again!! 🙇🏾♂️
You have such a big, beautiful heart Pastor Joe! Thank you for pushing past all your fears and anxieties to get the good news of Jesus out to people. May God continue to bless you in all you do. Please pray for me that I may get the same boldness to witness for our Lord Jesus.
You have good points there and I just want to share my points in proclaiming the gospel too. It might be useful to some who need more. -You have to remember that God is the one speaking through the Holy Spirit in you. You cannot bring the message to their hearts just by your own mouth. You need God and His word to go through your mouth. He has the power to change one's life. -Do not memorize scripted lines. -When things seems to get intense, don't pour gasoline on a small flame. Remember why you are proclaiming the gospel. Know who is on your side. -Most importantly, God is ALWAYS with you. He doesn't leave you to your job He has given to you. He is your assistant. Shalom to all and I pray that we all get to praise our Lord in His Kingdom💖
"Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars. Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down." (Zechariah 11:1, 2)
I know you say that those of us who follow you are an encouragement to you, but make no mistake, you are an encouragement to us as well. God bless you brother.
God bless you Brother Joe for all you do to reach the lost and the followers of Jesus Christ 🙏 As you know we to get off track and become a train wreck. I know I sure have and become worldly again. It's so hard at times to stay focused and not getting distracted... When I fall into sin it keeps me from seeking God and sharing the Gospel of Christ Jesus. Please keep me in your prayers. There's nothing in this world that's worth going to Hell for
Thank you for inspiring others to be able speak boldly about Jesus. I’ve been engaging more on Facebook with strangers about Jesus. There’s usually hostility and negative remarks from them. I continue to pray for them and tell them God loves them. Holy Spirit, please help save Jerry from a life without You. He spoke harshly about You Lord but we know he’s in pain. Please continue to bless Joe Kirby and his ministry. Renew a passion in Your chosen people to speak boldly for You and to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Amen!
Thank you Joe so much I watch you as often as possible on my phone I'm from the United States so I hope you get my messages cuz I've never gotten a return message. But that doesn't matter what matters is that you have put the Lord deep into my heart and I I catch myself when I do something like lose my temper cuz I'm paralyzed and I'm in a nursing home and believe me if you were in one you would catch yourself begging God to forgive your sins way too much. God bless you and I'm going now to watch another one of your shows on UA-cam
Thank you, sir, again! Just picked up the Cospel of John and a few bibles for my family! God bless you and your family for your great teachings and guidance! In Jesus' precious name, we pray! Amen! ✝️
Thabk you so much Joe. It's 2023 now and this video says 4 years old so its still doing its job. Great advice for someone like me who likes to get to the nitty gritty always.
This is very helpful because I’m going to go evangelising in a shopping centre with my friend so this helps a lot I once spoke to someone and I kinda did not do very well so this is very helpful
Joe, So glad to see you are getting back into your videos on You Tube. Just remember a little bit at a time so we (those who love to check into you and listen to your thoughts) and you don't disapear completely. I love your gentle messaging way and your message. Till I find you again Love to you and your family. Delora Richmond
People often say "I don't know how to speak of my faith to others." Mr. Kirby really hits it on the head. Listen first. Listen to the person, they are carrying a burden they want to share with you. Listen to The Spirit, it will bridge those connections in your mind to serve that person. Listen to yourself, you will know in your gut whether you are helping, or harming, representing God, or representing your own opinions. If you listen in these ways, you don't need a guidebook on speaking your faith, you have all the guidance you need.
I realized I was listening forever, and then never actually saying anything about Jesus. It is definitely about finding that balance. Good thing I have years more to practice.
A verse that came to mind when listening to this brother talk about the Master. "I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you."
Dios te bendiga!, ( I don't speak english but i understood some words and i wanna search the Gospel too in english, and i want to show the gospel to all my family, God bless you brother!)
I didn't like #2, but unfortunately you are right on. It's a sad world we live in. Maybe for an old guy like me it might be OK since we tend to be looked upon more grandfatherly. I really like your series on how to witness. It is no doubt helpful to many.
God bless you Leonard thank you for another helpful comment. I do hope these videos are being used by God to spread the Gospel for his glory! I think as long as our motives are pure God will use us no matter who we are! - Joe
@@offthekirb That comment brought on a glorious thought. It will be awesome when you get to heaven and as you meet various people they say hey Joe, you were part of the process of my salvation. Thank-you! You know that this will happen. Oh the joy of it all.
Hey, I’m around 21 and I don’t normally evangelize to women and I think this is right for me right now. Yet, I see Ray Comfort evangelize to women maybe 40-50% of the time and I think you’re right about the “grandfatherly” vibe so I’d say, if it’s good for you, go for it
@@CatalyticChristian Men council men Women council women. You are looking to justify your works but shall end up failing. Pride comes before the fall my friend, dont make that mistake. Men are preachers and teachers in a congregation and women submit to their husbands. Do you leave no role for women, yet want to place yourself in a situation to be enticed and led away by your own desires. The spirit is willing but your flesh is weak and your lying heart will cause you to stumble. Then you shall bring Christ to an open shame and trample on the blood of Christ as it is a common thing. God shall not be mocked. You will use the holy word for your own gain and reap corruption. There are plenty of women knowledgeable in Gods word, we dont need you. Many have fallen before you and if you continue on this path you will join those on the broad road. I rebuke you, to save you this shame and condemnation. Ezekiel 33 you have been warned.
I start with people I already know as friends.If they reject it or are not open to it or downright reject it, I know I have to remove them from my circle and just pray for them. That's the advantage of never being being dependent on people too much when you've faced the truth of salvation: you can emotionally detach from them. Christian strangers did pray for me to come to the truth of Jesus and I will forever be grateful for their prayers. Strangers can do more for you than so-called friends and friends can be nothing more than people who can lead you astray.
You’re coming across wonderfully it brings out the loving us for one another first. And I love the way you share the gospel praying for you always and your family❤️🙏🏻
I would add one more idea, and you do it.............smile. God smiles when we are doing his will. There is a mile between each "s" in smiles. A smile goes a long way. I always remember that God gives the increase and it helps me smile.
I found that few people can resist the powefull,but tender love of our Lord Jesus Christ. If one can get that across a person will be more likely to accept the message of the cross🙏🙏
This had great reminders. Will meet up with a lady in an hour who Jesus healed on Tuesday after I prayed for her. She's never read in the Bible, so will show her and hear what she thinks.
Recently m watching a series of ur videos ..its really encouraging ..u come straight to the point ..not long videos which is quite boring and it brings a lots of clarity .. Sometymz ur videos help me to reopen my Bible and go through it again .. Thnkss brother ..keep uploading and keep sharing the good news of the Lord..God bless you 😌
Brother thank you , understand your point 🙏 what bible says about Evangelizing ? We have to pray a lot before we go out and listen to the Holy Spirit, and God Almighty send us who needs to be saved. and Lord God Keep us away from the enemy.
Every one of those things will be taken care of if we are not "there to work for God", but we are there as a vessel, filled with the Holy Spirit, Who WILL guide every word.
Hello, I just watched your most recent video and I couldn’t help but notice how much happier you usually seem compared to your newest video. Your eyes and voice seem sad in your newest video. I am not sure if it is because your newest video is about a heavier topic or because of the issues you have been having with UA-cam trying to censor your videos. I just want to say that I am praying for you, and I am sure many others are as well. I pray that God keeps your joy alive and well and that you do not feel disheartened by any difficult situations you may be going through. God bless you.
Excellent video !! Thank you for sharing this tips !! Sometimes sharing the gospel looks like a big challenge, but it starts with one step, step by step, in faith, and thanks God for christian leaders who teaches us to do it. God bless this ministry

Same problem , its not a sin in itself in my opinion but its not pure 100% some emotions and admire is involved and i dont know if its okay but i think its outcome is not good
@@christfollower5713 so is it bad for me to spread the gospel to a girl? am I limited in who I can spread the gospel to?
God bless you Joe! You are being used by the Holy Spirit to teach us Christians on how to effectively share the Gospel of Jesus Christ!👍👍
That is so encouraging thank you making me smile today George, God bless you - Joe
I've shed many tears over the last few days that I lost this video on prayer (alongside many others) but the Lord in His goodness has allowed it to be restored - I will explain in a another video soon. Please go and watch it, if you haven't seen it already: ua-cam.com/video/OaUn8tKVl7Y/v-deo.html
I've found since my receiving the Holy Spirit, that He's naturally been using me outdoors and my love of nature to connect with others, so I often just say how I love to commune with God while I' outdoors, how I can see and him Him more clearly through His creations..., that gets them talking to you about their love of the outdoors hence having a normal conversation then I share my experience and back it up with the Gospel. They at least thing you are reasonably normal to begin with lol
This is a great tip, thank you!
When a gardener sows a seed he doesn't wait for it to grow, he moves on to plant another.
Genders separation is such a blessing I never knew until being a part of a real Christian community and this is fantastic and I had no clue what I was missing and how safe and encouraging the separation can be and how it keeps everyone moving forward without distractions, I say it's a top 10 thing on multiple levels that has benefited my journey with christ
Amen may we be successful. ✝️💞❤️💓🙏
I’ve learned to be a good listener and just share the gospel calmly and kindly. I’m not there to be “right”!..And. Always always leave each other with respect and on a good note..You taught me that Joe!
I agree Mary. We allow the Holy Spirit to speak through us when we are given the opportunity to share the Gospel. If we speak the truth from the Gods word and do so with the intention of leading someone to Christ and NOT for personal gain then the seed will be planted and the Lord will make it grow :) God bless!
I was sharing my experience with God this morning. I was on a high high spirit because I felt the holy spirit God was enveloping me was with me so I was really happy excited today then I got a text from a girl we used to be roommates together. Her room was just a wall beside me. I was sooo full force spilling everything I could think of without even backing off and hearing her properly but I knew she was going through a hard time she is a sweet soul but she went to the wrong people and take wrong habits from them. I think I didn’t do so good but I trust that God is already working through her life because he has plans for her. I am just glad I watched this video after just doing this an hour ago
Please pray for me I really wanted to share God's word but I am still in the process of learning the right thing to do when sharing. Thanks
Ray Comfort from Living Waters ministry has a real simple method to get you started
How is it going now?
I’m in the same boat right now
Unfortunately I go through the same thing, I'm really eager and want to share the gospel to so many ppl but I'm so scared and shy, I wish I didn't care about what ppl really thought of me and wasn't so afraid on how others will judge me
@@nnuveohombre I recommend training courses.. together with Others. We Had to do practical exercise in Bible School and I hated it..but we went in pairs so one could speak whilst the other prays silently.
Praise God!
God bless you sister - Joe
Thanks so much for this, I live in Libya; a country with a majority of Muslims. With that fact, I always needed something like this for clearance. Thank You again!! 🙇🏾♂️
May God bless you! Jesus is coming back soon!
You have such a big, beautiful heart Pastor Joe! Thank you for pushing past all your fears and anxieties to get the good news of Jesus out to people. May God continue to bless you in all you do. Please pray for me that I may get the same boldness to witness for our Lord Jesus.
You have good points there and I just want to share my points in proclaiming the gospel too. It might be useful to some who need more.
-You have to remember that God is the one speaking through the Holy Spirit in you. You cannot bring the message to their hearts just by your own mouth. You need God and His word to go through your mouth. He has the power to change one's life.
-Do not memorize scripted lines. -When things seems to get intense, don't pour gasoline on a small flame. Remember why you are proclaiming the gospel. Know who is on your side.
-Most importantly, God is ALWAYS with you. He doesn't leave you to your job He has given to you. He is your assistant.
Shalom to all and I pray that we all get to praise our Lord in His Kingdom💖
Just prayed about this like 10 min ago :O
This video is a perfect answer I’m amazed, glory to our Father in heaven Elohim
"Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars. Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down." (Zechariah 11:1, 2)
I know you say that those of us who follow you are an encouragement to you, but make no mistake, you are an encouragement to us as well. God bless you brother.
God bless you Brother Joe for all you do to reach the lost and the followers of Jesus Christ 🙏 As you know we to get off track and become a train wreck. I know I sure have and become worldly again. It's so hard at times to stay focused and not getting distracted... When I fall into sin it keeps me from seeking God and sharing the Gospel of Christ Jesus. Please keep me in your prayers. There's nothing in this world that's worth going to Hell for
Bless you. You gave me great tips. Today I shared the gospel for a non believer for the first time. I feel motivated when I watched your video.
Thank you for inspiring others to be able speak boldly about Jesus. I’ve been engaging more on Facebook with strangers about Jesus. There’s usually hostility and negative remarks from them. I continue to pray for them and tell them God loves them. Holy Spirit, please help save Jerry from a life without You. He spoke harshly about You Lord but we know he’s in pain. Please continue to bless Joe Kirby and his ministry. Renew a passion in Your chosen people to speak boldly for You and to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Amen!
Amen
Joe, again a timeless teaching. I do try to be careful, but then how to be bold?
Thank you Joe. God be with you and yours.
I adore your videos. I adore your passion. Thank you again, great advice.
Mind Space we only adore YHWH Elohim! 🙄
Glory to God
That makes a lot of sense
80/20 will help me a lot. Thank you brother! A hug from Belize C.A!
Thank you Joe so much I watch you as often as possible on my phone I'm from the United States so I hope you get my messages cuz I've never gotten a return message. But that doesn't matter what matters is that you have put the Lord deep into my heart and I I catch myself when I do something like lose my temper cuz I'm paralyzed and I'm in a nursing home and believe me if you were in one you would catch yourself begging God to forgive your sins way too much. God bless you and I'm going now to watch another one of your shows on UA-cam
Thank you, sir, again!
Just picked up the Cospel of John and a few bibles for my family! God bless you and your family for your great teachings and guidance! In Jesus' precious name, we pray! Amen! ✝️
Great video! I will listen over and over. Better not to start talking so much but to listen. Excellent point! Thank you. Love your videos 👍
Thabk you so much Joe. It's 2023 now and this video says 4 years old so its still doing its job. Great advice for someone like me who likes to get to the nitty gritty always.
Yes, avoid wrong motives. 🙏👍
Thanks Joe this would help me share the Gospel of Jesus. God bless us all…
This is very helpful because I’m going to go evangelising in a shopping centre with my friend so this helps a lot I once spoke to someone and I kinda did not do very well so this is very helpful
Thank u so much for the advise. Normally, I do preach to boys of my age. But they fail to listen. But some girls repented all thanks to God Almighty.
Joe, So glad to see you are getting back into your videos on You Tube. Just remember a little bit at a time so we (those who love to check into you and listen to your thoughts) and you don't disapear completely. I love your gentle messaging way and your message. Till I find you again Love to you and your family. Delora Richmond
People often say "I don't know how to speak of my faith to others." Mr. Kirby really hits it on the head. Listen first. Listen to the person, they are carrying a burden they want to share with you. Listen to The Spirit, it will bridge those connections in your mind to serve that person. Listen to yourself, you will know in your gut whether you are helping, or harming, representing God, or representing your own opinions. If you listen in these ways, you don't need a guidebook on speaking your faith, you have all the guidance you need.
I realized I was listening forever, and then never actually saying anything about Jesus. It is definitely about finding that balance. Good thing I have years more to practice.
You are a blessing, Joe.! Stay blessed!
I love you, your smile and attitude is so endearing! God bless you!
A verse that came to mind when listening to this brother talk about the Master.
"I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you."
Dios te bendiga!, ( I don't speak english but i understood some words and i wanna search the Gospel too in english, and i want to show the gospel to all my family, God bless you brother!)
May God Bless you too brother and all brothers and sisters in Christ In Jesus Christ Messiah Name Amen Amen 🙏🏼
Thank you Joe... That was a nugget well received. God bless and keep you warm and safe.🙏
God bless you
You "REALLY" love people. God bless you!
Spread the gospel ❤😊😊👑✝️❤️🙏🏽
I didn't like #2, but unfortunately you are right on. It's a sad world we live in. Maybe for an old guy like me it might be OK since we tend to be looked upon more grandfatherly.
I really like your series on how to witness. It is no doubt helpful to many.
God bless you Leonard thank you for another helpful comment. I do hope these videos are being used by God to spread the Gospel for his glory! I think as long as our motives are pure God will use us no matter who we are! - Joe
@@offthekirb That comment brought on a glorious thought. It will be awesome when you get to heaven and as you meet various people they say hey Joe, you were part of the process of my salvation. Thank-you! You know that this will happen. Oh the joy of it all.
Thank you Leonard, I look forward to that day greatly all glory to God! 😊
Hey, I’m around 21 and I don’t normally evangelize to women and I think this is right for me right now. Yet, I see Ray Comfort evangelize to women maybe 40-50% of the time and I think you’re right about the “grandfatherly” vibe so I’d say, if it’s good for you, go for it

Men council men
Women council women.
You are looking to justify your works but shall end up failing.
Pride comes before the fall my friend, dont make that mistake.
Men are preachers and teachers in a congregation and women submit to their husbands.
Do you leave no role for women, yet want to place yourself in a situation to be enticed and led away by your own desires.
The spirit is willing but your flesh is weak and your lying heart will cause you to stumble.
Then you shall bring Christ to an open shame and trample on the blood of Christ as it is a common thing. God shall not be mocked.
You will use the holy word for your own gain and reap corruption.
There are plenty of women knowledgeable in Gods word, we dont need you.
Many have fallen before you and if you continue on this path you will join those on the broad road.
I rebuke you, to save you this shame and condemnation.
Ezekiel 33 you have been warned.
Thank you so much for this message. I been struggling 😩 God Bless you
Thank you so much this was very helpful, praise Jesus and God bless you
Love the way you explain this. Because you find good examples and give good advice.
Very useful tips! Thank you for the video!
I agree so much with point 2. It's so encouraging that you mentioned it we are very particular in our ministry too in India
I start with people I already know as friends.If they reject it or are not open to it or downright reject it, I know I have to remove them from my circle and just pray for them. That's the advantage of never being being dependent on people too much when you've faced the truth of salvation: you can emotionally detach from them. Christian strangers did pray for me to come to the truth of Jesus and I will forever be grateful for their prayers. Strangers can do more for you than so-called friends and friends can be nothing more than people who can lead you astray.
God bless you my brother Thank you so much
You’re coming across wonderfully it brings out the loving us for one another first. And I love the way you share the gospel praying for you always and your family❤️🙏🏻
Thanks for this brother! I love your channel and I've been mad encouraged by you
Absolutely agree with #2
This is a great guide. Speaking too much myself and not talking directly about the Gospel are my problems.
Amen! God bless!
I would add one more idea, and you do it.............smile. God smiles when we are doing his will. There is a mile between each "s" in smiles. A smile goes a long way. I always remember that God gives the increase and it helps me smile.
I found that few people can resist the powefull,but tender love of our Lord Jesus Christ. If one can get that across a person will be more likely to accept the message of the cross🙏🙏
This had great reminders. Will meet up with a lady in an hour who Jesus healed on Tuesday after I prayed for her. She's never read in the Bible, so will show her and hear what she thinks.
Glory to God....thank you for this video
Amen the power is in Jesus Christ!
Recently m watching a series of ur videos ..its really encouraging ..u come straight to the point ..not long videos which is quite boring and it brings a lots of clarity ..

Thank you Joe! I do share and also share your videos sometimes too on facebook and other websites.
Excellent approach and advice, Joe 👍. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏.
Well spoken Joe, thanks..
Great tips !! Be Blessed always !! 🙏🔥🙌✝️👑🥰🌸
I agree with you on #2 is absolutely 💯 true brother!!!!!
You teaching in a good manner,
Thank you Joseph. Praise The Lord.
Brother thank you , understand your point 🙏
what bible says about Evangelizing ? We have to pray a lot before we go out and listen to the Holy Spirit, and God Almighty send us who needs to be saved. and Lord God Keep us away from the enemy.
Finding commonality usually helps when communicating with humans
Amen !
Very edifying as well!
I am watching this on March 24 and it was released on October 24.
Excellent Message, Brother 💖 in Christ ✨✌️
Every one of those things will be taken care of if we are not "there to work for God", but we are there as a vessel, filled with the Holy Spirit, Who WILL guide every word.
Straight truth
Revisited this just now: thanks for these!
Way to go Joe. On target on time. This has been a big question for me.
How can I give this 10 thumbs up?
LOL thank you Tracy I wish you could and I would give this comment 10 Hearts!! God bless you - Joe

Thank you for this video brother.
All for our joy in Him and all to His glory😊
Hello,
I just watched your most recent video and I couldn’t help but notice how much happier you usually seem compared to your newest video. Your eyes and voice seem sad in your newest video. I am not sure if it is because your newest video is about a heavier topic or because of the issues you have been having with UA-cam trying to censor your videos. I just want to say that I am praying for you, and I am sure many others are as well. I pray that God keeps your joy alive and well and that you do not feel disheartened by any difficult situations you may be going through. God bless you.
Excellent video !! Thank you for sharing this tips !! Sometimes sharing the gospel looks like a big challenge, but it starts with one step, step by step, in faith, and thanks God for christian leaders who teaches us to do it. God bless this ministry
