Overcoming the FEAR of Sharing the Gospel (Advice for Young Christians)

[@KatDPerez]

Hi everyone! I originally filmed this video a year ago, but thought it could still serve as encouragement for anyone who needs it. Overcoming the fear of sharing the gospel is not always easy, but the more we dive into the word and ask God to help us overcome it, the more we will want to share the word with those around us. What was your fave piece of advice from the video?

[@mitcheyles]

Living in hypocrisy will make it hard. Walking in devotion will help you to be able to share But the prayer for the desire is where it starts. If your struggling ask God for the desire

[@aubree3384]

I’m only 14 and I want to share the Gospel but it’s hard when I’m scared of what people will think. There’s this huge “procrastination” feeling that I have and it’s making me not want to. Continuing to pray for others and myself that struggle with the things I struggle with!

[@KatDPerez]

Yes, I can totally understand the feeling! That was me as well. These verses have helped me in those moments, so I’ll leave you with this: “Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord. Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth.” Jeremiah‬ ‭1:8-9‬ ‭NIV‬‬ God said this to the young prophet Jeremiah, who was afraid and doubtful of Gods calling over his life to be a prophet. Yet God told Him that He will put the words in His mouth, and not just that, but that HE is with Him as well. And this is what God tells us too in this passage, it’s a promise for those times we are afraid to speak the Truth! So Just know that God will be with you and give you the words to share the gospel. It may take a while to get over the fear but with time and prayer, I have faith God will help you through it! Will be praying for you, I’m confident that God will give you the courage and the words over time ❤️🙏🏼

Same bro, but sometimes I just force it out

[@jasmin-y8n3r]

This is me aswell! But 15

[@mirrieolayo2487]

I felt the need to search this video because I was literally supposed to speak to my colleagues about Jesus today, I had fellowship with God in the morning and He commissioned me to do so, He taught me through scriptures and I saw myself talking to them, and could even foreshadow the answers I'd get, and God put in my heart what to answer, He said He'll be with me. But I've always been so fearful about it, I just don't know how to start. But I prayed to Him, and He gave me peace. So I got to work and I literally couldn't tell them about Jesus, I became afraid again, and ended up not saying anything. I felt really bad. Now, I feel better having watched this, and I honestly believe that I can do it. I'll embrace this and serve Christ.

[@helenastephanos6332]

I understand. The same thing happened to me at school. ❤ May God give you fearlessness ❤

[@Ivan-qg6sb]

At 13 years old, I usually don’t have this problem. But I just moved schools and now I do. I only told two people and I will tell more

[@JMarie-th8xe]

Yes, keep going! That's awesome, that's what I hope for and pray for myself and all other followers of Christ to share!

[@collegepennsylvania837]

"Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves." Philippians 2:3 Humbly serve others following the perfect example of Jesus. He said that He came not to be served but to serve others and give His life for others. (Matthew 20:28). Let us be humbled by the awesomeness and greatness of God and the unworthiness of ourselves. CS Lewis said that true humility is not thinking less of yourselves but rather thinking of yourself less. Let us look each day for opportunities to serve God and thus others, and be empowered by the Spirit to do these things glorifying God. Hopefully this impacted you positively today. God bless you!

[@RianaSilvadacosta]

i didn't spread the gospel with this kid because iam scared i feel guilty i need boldness pls pray

[@eejawma]

i know it’s been 1+ yr but i just prayed for you ❤

[@carolinemarcello1818]

Lately I've been feeling like I need to go out there a share the word and I've been coming across scriptures and sermons concerning this but I've been afraid to being rejected. ..this has helped me alot...

[@Raeyimzz]

this message was literaly for me! thank you!♡, yesterday i had this friend who i shared with the bible, but everytime i do that he would just say "i already know that or your being dramatic thinking lgbt is bad" until it got to the point things got worse and i got mad and i said to him "you really are part of them" and at the end of our convo he said to me that my words shattered him, so the next day i tried to talk to him and said i take bacl all offensive things i said, but he isnt online :(, and im worried cause we are so close that he said to me i was more than like a family, and maybe being to offensive was my mistake, and earliet i prayed to God that he would help me and him understand each other, and let God help me how to share the gospel with love just like jesus, cause i felt guilty thinking "why am i sharing the gospel with an anger motive" and i repented,,, but still he did not reply, so im worried, pray for him and to me please. thank you for hearing me, and i praise you Lord for delivering me this message♡

[@CameronLane-ex7mc]

Don’t apologize for sharing the good news. You’re braver than most people. Jesus said count the cost before you follow him. Unfortunately were going to lose a lot in our journey with Christ but it will all be worth it in the end.

[@eejawma]

hi it’s been about a year, how are things going for you now? i just prayed for you and your friend ❤

[@overvictor2860]

Thanks much for sharing. You know, i becAme a christian 1 year ago and I shared my faith with my mom, and ofc as a new believer i was impatient so i wrote a letter to her with Love, sharing the Gospel and telling her how the things she is in is bad for her, her children (us) and the ones to come after us and I showed her God's love and how God can help her. Yet, she cussed my off😅 and that hit me to the core when i experienced that. She never wanted to share the Gospel with her again and it hurt me and discouraged me allot. I didn't quite serving God and I haven't, im just more hesitant on who to, when to, and how to share the gosple uk. And it made me feel bad especially when i pray for my family and they don't get saved and it hurts because I want to see them saved. Plus, that would give me encouragement as a christian and even a better environment to live in and them getting external life and saved from hell but yet life don't go the way you want it to. So yh im struggling with that and that even make me struggle with my faith. I promised God im not going back and I know that there is nothing good back there for me, its just hard rn. Im the only christian in my immediate family and its hard. It can sometimes be stressful but im happy im breathing and alive. So again thank you for this video it has helped me my allot not only in sharing my faith but building my faith and Love for God and othere again. Thank you and God bless. 💙☦️💚 P.S: LOVE YOUR TESTIMONY OF VICTORY OVER THAT FEAR OF SHARING THE GOSPEL 🙌

[@buffalobill6978]

hii!! I've been a Christian for (almost) a year now and im also the only Christian in my immediate family (or my family in general for that matter) remember that God has chosen you to be the only Christian in your family for a reason. It may be hard, but it will test and strengthen your faith and lead you to draw nearer to him

[@lovleyrea3334]

Heyy! Im going through the same thing. It’s so scary, and I’ve been thinking about writing my mom a letter too, but haven’t done it yet. It is very difficult to share the gospel, when your out in a store but know your family will get mad. And I feel you, you are not alone. This comment made me feel much better knowing that someone is going through the same thing I am ❤ I will always be here for your support.

[@angelalaicer6576]

I sometimes struggle too sharing the gospel to people I think too much about how the person would react even one time when I tried sharing the gospel using a gospel tract this one day the Holy Spirit was leading me to one lady but then when she rejected it I wasn’t bothered but after we left my own big sister was saying I shouldn’t have done that and that she knew the lady would have rejected it thats what really hurt me she used to be on fire for God and used to be the one who didn’t care what anybody said but now she’s walked away from God, so after she told me that I walked away feeling down It felt like no one wanted to hear the gospel but deep down I known people need the gospel the enemy wanted for me to be discouraged but God wanted for me to stay encouraged amen hope this helps God bless you!✝️✝️✝️🙏🏾

[@takudzwamashamba7453]

The point on prayer is key. Praying for boldness is very important

[@servantsofthemessiah720]

Just share the gospel most won't be how can call on one who they have not heard.

[@EagleHunter-yo8kq]

Im 14, and I know that for sure i would get scared to preach the gospel. It's like i want to do it, but im just scared of getting insulted, and for a little bit of my childhood i wanted people to like me but now ive started truly turning to God its gotta change but its hard.

[@guarindavidwilliams.9554]

1. Pray a. situation b. passion (desire) c. put people in you 2. Share experience with Gospel 3. Watch your path 4. Don't do hypocrisy 5. Be patient, overtime

[@JMarie-th8xe]

Some will not believe but you sowed many seeds at that age! That's awesome! We need the faith of a little child.

[@abbys_artz6331]

I love talking to God because he gives me so much comfort!!

[@adrielle3168]

1. Pray about the situation - Prayer is the answer to all our problems - All we need to do is Pray, Believe, Do! 1. Pray for desire, then 2. pray for people to come to our life (half the time they come to us immediately) 3. Pray for courage to share what He has put into our heart to say (OUR TESTIMONY) + Living a life walking with Jesus (>> Being a good testimony for Christ in ACTIONS) 2. Start a Bible study with friends of faith, - then invite people who are interested to read the bible 3. have a meal with people, love on people if they're called, they're called but will you let God use you? just plant your seed, do your part, say your testimony. God will do everything else~ Noah made the ark. The animals were brought by God. The Holy Spirit will bring people to you, it's our job to meet them there and share who God is. - transforming of their life, heart and mind is up to God.

Hey I really needed this girl thank you

[@KatDPerez]

You’re welcome, glad it could help 😊🙌🏽

[@paigelorraine]

My brother spoke about believing Jesus being a man with postirice teachings well today being Palm Sunday and the start of the Holy Week I took the opportunity to show him a 5 min video on what Palm Sunday is I could tell he just thought I was preaching and didn’t really understand the video and I’m not comfortable enough yet to fully explain in a way for him to understand without seeming pushy. I tried asking some questions like “do you believe in the bible” and was bummed to hear him say no that it has been changed so much (many peoples answer) anyway I threw in there that the evidence points to Jesus and it was pretty obvious I wanted to share this info with him (just simply about Palm Sunday) wel now I feel awkward about it I prayed on it multiple times I just worry because we haven’t been close my whole life and we’re just starting to get close and I really pray he doesn’t take it super wrong and that he can be open to Jesus and this not mess up our relationship . I am strong in my faith and have always been kinda “out there” so it’s nothing new for him but I have never actually talked to him about it and it was an awkward starting point I feel but I did my best. In the future I want to ask him more questions in a non invasive way but I just pray that he will become more open to talking about it and not judge me for it or reject me for it. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@paigelorraine]

I’m open to any suggestions thanks girl

Wow 2years later this has helped me a lot, thanks for allowing God to use you

[@colonalklink14]

Jesus is Lord God Almighty clothed in unsinful humanity and He is the author of eternal life to all who trust Him alone for salvation. Jesus paid for all the sins of all the world at the cross (past, present, and future). That payment is put to your account when you have believed on Christ alone for salvation. *This means that saving repentance is realizing that you are a sinner deserving of God's just punishment in Hell and turn (repent) from whatever you trusted in before, if indeed you trusted in anything; to trusting in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation.*

[@martamccurdy1379]

❤Thank you so much! This is helping me.

[@silvercri3356]

Wow I must’ve really been afraid cause I completely forgot about prayer and I prayed to God for a hunger and a hear for the people of this world to hear the word and for me ti keep my eyes on God and I just sled my friend if I could share the gospel with him tonight God works in amazing ways.
