When to Witness

The effectiveness of our witnessing is directly proportional to our prayer life. That will never change. Witnessing is not a technique, and neither is it knowledge, nor is it argument - it's LOVE! And if it isn't, then it's nothing!

When is the right time to witness?
At the "wrong" time!
2 Timothy 4:2 says, "Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching."

Any sense of awkwardness on our part is simply God's gift to help us identify our hidden pride. Humility witnesses "whether the time is favorable or not." 2 Corinthians 6:2 says, ² For God says, “At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.” Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation."

This world and it's troubles are way outpacing every believer's good intentions. (Rom 8:19, 22) The priority for the Christian is to preach the word. Not to make friends! 2 Corinthians 5:10-11 says, ¹⁰ "For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body. ¹¹ Because we understand our fearful responsibility to the Lord, we work hard to persuade others. God knows we are sincere, and I hope you know this, too."

When then?

Your answer is given by the last time you witnessed.
