Don’t be Chicken

Don’t be Chicken. ​It is the ​DOERS that ​Just ​​DO IT​ ​

There are many sick people that ​need ​to hear ​that ​Jesus came to heal them. Jesus healed people outside the walls of the synagogue. Jesus​ said, ​”The works that I do shall ye also.​” ​It is important that we just simply ​DO IT.  People ask me​, “Do you feel something before you ​pray for people?” ​My reply is just ​simply: ​DO IT! Sometimes a person​ is very ​intimidated to pray for a stranger, but again​ ​we just do it.​  Don’t be chicken. ​It is the ​DOERS that ​just ​​DO IT.​ ​
 
 

People in Great Need Need ​DOERS! ​

Recently I was at SAM’s Club loading my car with purchased items and took notice of a lady in a wheel chair. I started the conversations by talking about the weather​.​ After talking about the weather​,​ I ask​ed​ the lady ​about her health.  She ​responded joyfully​, explaining her situation. I prayed for her to be healed. She ask​ed​ for my phone number and I gave it to her. ​When I reached my home​,​ the​ ​phone rang and it was this lady tell​ing​ me that she was no longer in the wheel chair because Jesus healed her​!!!  ​People in great need need ​DOERS! ​

 

​So Don’t be Chicken, Take Steps of Faith  

Don’t be afraid of people’s faces, start casual conversations and turn it to sharing about the Lord.  Pray for the sick as you meet them.  Ask Jesus to touch them in every level and every need in their life.  People are just astonished that you would pray out loud for them right then and there!  Let’s use every opportunity to share Christ.  How can they hear unless someone tells them?

Chicken Evangelism--Don't Be Afraid of Faces

Chicken Evangelism–Don’t Be Afraid of Faces

 Don’t be afraid of faces.

Chicken evangelism​?​ 

Don’t be afraid of faces.

​Wh​at are you talking about? 

No​,​ we are not ​talking ​about sharing the ​G​ospel with chickens.

There are times in our lives when we need to take action ​even ​when it seems scary or ​challenges us to ​do something we have not done before.​ We feel “chicken”. ​Perhaps you ​have ​not share​d​​ Jesus with others or ​have only ​shared ​occasionally​.​​

Perhaps I can encourage you by telling you my first experience with chicken evangelism.

I was a new convert to Christ. ​At the time, ​I was in the ​N​av​y ​in San Di​e​go, ​California​​. I was sharing Christ along with other Jesus followers. We were on the street handing out ​​Gospel tracts when a very large and mean looking man ​came​ walking toward me.

The ​L​ord told me to talk to this man and invite him to​ church. I said​,​​ “Lord, He is is bigger and very mean looking.​”​ I thought​ that​ if I talked to him,​ he’d beat me up and it would be my last day to be alive. ​But somehow the Lord empowered me. I mustered up strength​,​ and ​put ​on the best look that I could​. Fearfully​ approach​ing​ the man​, I invited him to go to church with me that evening​. ​The man’s total countenance changed! The hardness became softness, the angry look became a happy look! ​The man became very excited and came with me to church ​that very night ​and got saved. He was so happy that he wanted to sing and play a guitar​ right there at church that night!​.

 

Let me encourage you not to be afraid of faces.

​If y​ou are wondering what to say​, just ​begin the chicken evangelism by simply​ starting to talk about easy topics. ​ I still do this. People are at ​​different ​stages in their lives​ and have different interests​.​ The Lord helps us to be sensitive to what they might be interested in so we can have “conversation starters”​, such as ​starting to talk about ​sports.

 

Sometimes, ​I wear ​a​n NFL hat or MBA jacket to​ make sports talk with strangers​. ​Then​ ​I ​lead​ the conversation into ​a ​Jesus talk. ​Or w​hen ​my wife and I​ take walks​,​ we meet people working in the yards and flower beds. ​Then ​we engage in yard and and garden talk​,​ ​and lead​ ​into ​talking about the Lord Jesus.​  When we ​share​ ​w​hat Jesus ​has ​brought into our lives and w​hat He has done ​personally ​for ​us, no one can argue that experience. ​
