I need tips

[Sparkles]

I need help. I have a very good friend she is just about to hit the same wall that I did just before I was saved. I see it coming from a mile away. I know this sounds weird but I feel almost happy because I know this will be my "big Chance" to finally get her to listen to me about Jesus. I have tried in the past but I had no success. Mostly rolling eyes and laughter and replies like "whatever" and "Thats great for you"

So as you can see I need help.
How do you witness to your friends I really want my friends to open their hearts to Jesus and put all their trust in him so they can see how much happier and peaceful their lives can be. They look at me like I've gone nuts!

By living it out, that's the biggest way to witness to someone close to you -- and of course prayer. Ulimately it's the Holy Spirit doing the work. But we're supposed to be salt that makes people thirsty for Jesus.

Sparkes - When you figure that one out let me know. Unfortunately, just like no one from Jesus' town would listen to Him, neither will our family and friends listen to us. Witnessing to friends and family is delicate. I've cried many tears for my family and friend's salvation. Ray Comfort from wayofthemaster.com has some great tips but even he has family that's not saved. I figure if he can't get convince them about their need to be saved then I probably can't either. In fact, even Jesus couldn't convince people of their need for salvation due to their desire to live in sin.

I recently tried to witness to family and it was a disaster, even though I thought I was prepared to overcome their objections. My heart was right and I didn't get defensive and I praised God for the opportunity to learn from it. My biggest mistake was to talk to a small group of family but I should've done this one on one. I've learned some hard lessons in witnessing to family and friends, the biggest one is not to stand there and argue with them. If you notice Jesus never argued with the religious Jews. He said what He had to say and was done with it.

My advice would be to love them to death (no pun intended), give them gifts for no reason to show your love, pray regularly for them and look for opportunities with the Holy Spirit's guidance to plant small seeds that may help them or give them answers from a biblical point of view. Ray Comfort said if they can't see your love and concern for their eternal destiny in your words, then may they see it in your eyes. Also, remember that it's the Holy Spirit's job to convict someone. All we can do is be faithful witnesses and plant the seed.

My heart aches for you because I know your pain here. I will pray for your friend's salvation.:pray

After verbally witnessing to them the next best thing is simply (consistent) prayer and living our faith out. You can be a silent but effective witness. Especially when you're having a bad day....that's when unbelievers are really watching. When we're being tested, unbelievers are watching.
