DAY FOURTEEN | Overcoming Barriers of Evangelism

January 14, 2025 | 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting

TODAY’S PRAYER POINT

Pray for boldness and clarity as you prepare to share the Gospel with others.


BIBLE VERSE | Romans 10:14  

“How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?”


This verse highlights the importance of sharing our faith.


Evangelism is essential for spreading the Gospel.


Many people think that sharing the Gospel with others is a Pastor or Evangelist's responsibility.


But, according to Jesus and His command to us (Matthew 28:19-20), WE ALL are called to the task and responsibility concerning the message of the transforming power of Christ.


The Apostle Paul highlights the vital link between hearing the Gospel and coming to faith in Christ.


The urgency of this message cannot be overstated -- people need to hear about the love and grace of God in order to respond to it.


Consider the people in your life who may not yet have heard the Good News. Or, maybe, like many, they have heard, and walked with the Lord for some time, but have chosen another path on their own. We need to be willing to step outside our comfort zones to be the voice that communicates this life-changing message.


Reflect on the barriers you face in evangelism and how to overcome them through prayer and reliance on the Holy Spirit.


APPLICATION

Two Tips for Overcoming Common Barriers and for Sharing Your Faith


1) PRAY FOR GUIDANCE

Pray for wisdom, courage, and the right words to say.

  • Trust that God will guide your conversations.


2) USE PERSONAL STORIES

Personal stories (your own, and those you may know of others) can be powerful and relatable.


You don't have to have a degree in Theology to explain the grace of God.

  • Sharing how your faith has impacted your life and your relationship with Jesus can resonate deeply with others.

  • People can try to debate the interpretation of Scripture, but no one can deny the power and evidence of a life that has been changed by Jesus!

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, I am asking for Your strength and guidance. Give me boldness to speak Your Truth, and clarity so that I can convey Your love.


I need confidence and wisdom, so I can share the gospel with courage and grace.


Holy Spirit, lead me and guide me with the right words that will touch the hearts of those who hear them.


In Jesus’ name, I pray~ Amen.
