God is Asking You to Walk Through Open Doors |
|
One thing that worsens our guilt-driven approach to evangelism is the mentality that we must present the Gospel to every person we meet. They will be receptive; otherwise, we have failed. The fact is that we will run into closed doors. Don’t let that discourage you. Simply keep looking for the open doors. It takes prayer to open the door. The apostle Paul asked the Colossian believers to pray that God “would open to us a door for the word” (Col. 4:3). While in prison and upon his release from prison, Paul invited people to pray that God would give him and his co-workers doors of opportunity for the Gospel.
How do we know who is open and who is not? If someone is open to me you as a person, assume that to be an open door for the Gospel. Go as far as you can through that door. If nothing else, you can usually give a tract or booklet for the person to read later.
The door may not open today, but knowing how God works, it would open next week. Until then we can only pray, and avoid the tendency to live in guilt.
