Salesman Selling Jesus

Matthew 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. v20 Teaching them to observe all things which I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
2 Timothy 2:15 "...a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
1 Timothy 2:1 "Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercession, and giving of thanks be made for all men,"
Philippians 4:6 "Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication..."

I am convinced that by drinking half of my body weight in water each day I drastically enhance my bodies ability to function at an optimal level. Sure, sometimes I have to use the "head" at inopportune times but it is worth it for me being a professional athlete. I also believe that exercise is a great way to raise your self esteem and fight off common depression. I have knowledge and actions to back this up. I would have no problem going to bat in a conversation with anyone about this in order to sell them the benefits. Likewise I would also argue that as a kid eating peanut butter and jelly sando's with a large glass of milk before you go to bed will make you jacked, since my brother did this and was super buff and I didn't and I was a stick figure. But that is another story...
Point is we are salesman of Jesus Christ, constantly selling His truth and the worth of a relationship with Him. Hawk said "be ready for opportunities because people are watching", Waino said "onlookers should know exactly who we worship and why", and everybody has been saying "we need to spread the word and share the good news of the Gospel". This all makes sense but now we are sitting at our computers saying "wow... I'm no salesman, matter of fact I hate sales." This is how I felt when I got hit with this idea but it is easy so please plug in and listen carefully. We need to take action!

1: Surrender the idea that you do anything for God, He does it through you, all you do is be and listen to the Holy Spirit.
2: Know your ministry. Is it your best friend, parents, co-worker, in-law, etc...
3: Put them on your prayer list (be intentional). Pray for them to desire the truth and for God to intervene in their life so they may have salvation. Pray for an opportunity to share Jesus with them.
4A: Have intentional conversations with them where you ask a lot of questions and constantly gain information for which you can pray about, this will show them you genuinely care about them.
4B: Don't spill your candy in the lobby. Don't try to share the gospel with them before you know they want it, this usually is our flesh acting trying to notch a save. Wait for God to deliver the conversation to you, you will know.
5: Keep praying, pray without ceasing, multiple times a day. This stuff matters more than your paycheck this is eternity we're talking about.
6: When necessary use words to share the Gospel. Our actions should be doing most of the talking.
7: Be prepared. We labor in vain if we try to do it on our own or on our time, the flesh is constantly trying to take credit for anything and everything, keep that dude at arms length (not to close, not to far).

We're salesman whether you like it or not so embrace your role and get those prayer lists going, this can be a powerful life changing thing if we actually take action. If we don't it will go in the box with all the other great ideas that never impacted our lives. Remember God does the work we just have to be obedient to be used as a vessel.
