How do you start Witnessing to Somebody?

I was reading a thread on one of the Bible Forums I belong to, and came across a great post answering the question

“How do you start witnessing to somebody?”

That’s a great question.

I’ve been a Christian for nearly 20 years and witnessing simply seems natural to me.

It is the overflow of my heart, I feel compelled to share my faith. — I have a vibrant relationship with Christ and that spills out of me.

But how does one start witnessing to somebody when you are a young Christian?

Here is a partial list from one of the responses:

1. Make known that you are a Christian. (2 Corinthians 3.2)
2. Be blameless as you are an ambassador for Christ (2 Peter 3.14)
3. Pray for opportunities (1 Thess 5.17 and 1 Peter 3.15)

To that list, I would add the following.

1. Notice when the Holy Spirit “underlines” the moment for a conversation.

Noticing when God prompts you for a conversation is a skill that is learned as you grow in your relationship with Christ.  There is no script for that.

Something to think about:

Have you developed the art of noticing whom God is underlining for you?
