Praying for opportunities...

One of the big parts of this class is prayer. We will be praying for people who are lost and don't know Christ, we will be praying for each other to be bold and confident in Christ, and we will be praying for Godly ordained opportunities to Share our faith in Jesus Christ with other people.

As we start praying these prayers we will find God dropping opportunities in our lap every day. Our job is to be ready and prepared to do what God has called us to! 2 Timothy 4:2, "Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction." What does it mean to be prepared in and out of season? Is their a "Witnessing" season...hopefully its between hunting season and baseball season right? ....

To answer your first question...no there isn't a witnessing season...and yes there is a witnessing season....no there isn't a season when we shouldn't be witnessing...yes there is a season year round we should always be willing to witness. Essentially 2 Tim 4:2 says that we should always be prepared to Share Jesus Without Fear.

Ok so your second question is, "How do we stay prepared?" Very good question, let's turn to the good book for that answer. 2 Timothy 4:5, "But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry." and also in James 5:16 the Bible tells us that, "...the prayer of the Righteous one is Powerful and Effective" in the King James it says the Effectual and Fervent Prayer of the Righteous one Availeth Much! So what does all that mean? It means that we have to cover our ministry in prayer! These are serious and righteous prayers!

How do we pray righteous? We pray like Jesus did, we pray for the right kinds of things, we pray for opportunities to minister, we pray that those we minister to will be open to God's word, we pray that God will use us and that He will be glorified, not us. 

Be in deep prayer for roughly the next 2 months as we go through this class that God will grow you and give you awesome opportunities to Share your faith with others!
