Really needed this video.. I've been praying and stressing about how to witness to my friends about the good news since giving my life to Christ. It helps a lot to know this is something many Christians struggle with. Keep reflecting Jesus everybody, act boldly in faith and he will respond Boldy in action! Recently I started praying before every meal, and one time one of my friends asked why and we got into a conversation about prayer! God can open a door in any conversation.
John 14:18: If God is all you have then you have all you need.
Amen brother 🙏🙌
We're in the same boat, my brother! Let's continue in prayer, and remember: "If GOD is with us, who can be against us?!" Hallelujah!
Beautiful.
I also had issues during my early days in knowing God on how to spread the truth with my friends.
At first I tried to still act neutral around them but I knew I was not helping myself, they say filthy jokes and speak foul languages.
Then I thought, why allow them unashamely spread darkness and you cannot spread light.
I talk them about God and to be sincere many stopped being my friend and I am fine with that because the more I grow in God, the more God brings brethren along my way.
I have found true Christain friends and family.
Sometimes those are the little seeds that could potentially take years to even just sprout, but when they do God will move in ways they saw in you! Just make sure to continue to walk the path of life that is through Christ alone! God bless you bud :)
This could not have come at a better time, I’ve been praying for and witnessing to a new friend of mine, she comes from a catholic background, but has never heard the Gospel, now she’s planning to read the Bible. I believe God is drawing her near to Him, and I would greatly appreciate anyone’s prayers for her, God bless you.
i prayed for your friend
@@ImpactVideoMinistries Thank you very much. May God bless you and make fruitful your good work.
@@blackhole527 like can Christian’s be in fighting sports?
I prayed for your friend too. I'm in a small group where a lot of us have unsaved husbands and kids.
@@teresabenson3385 Thank you, I really appreciate that. God bless you and your group.
My best friend here on earth is an unbeliever. I have preached and answered his questions about god many times. I tell him that today is the day of repentance, he tells me he needs more time. I pray that he opens his eyes to god.
Hi, I’m 16 and have given my life to Jesus around last year. I have been struggling with sharing the gospel partly because I overthink scenarios. I really want to share the good news but I always get too scared. Please pray for me!
Just remember to not force it too much. Don’t try to pitch your friends to Jesus like an investor trying to get you to invest in something, but instead let them know lovingly and without unneeded stress or pressure. There’s no 1 correct way to preach the gospel
And preach in a way that doesn't condemn them but in a way that convicts them. let them know that God does not hate them but warn them not to take advantage of the free gift of Gods grace
Just today the lord placed someone on my heart to share the gospel with and I got really scared. I will share it with them eventually but I think I need to first live out this righteous life we are called to live before god and create more opportunities to talk about God in a casual, safe and relaxed setting. Like he said, “don’t beat yourself up!” I’m learning this too. You’re not alone. Praying for you, that you may be confident not in yourself but in the God who saved you and wants to reach the people in your life too❤️
I pray for you. God bless ✝️💖
My toxic ex boyfriend was an atheist (who tried to get me to do things I was very uncomfortable with) and I tried SO hard to get him to come to church. He refused every time, and I eventually broke up with him. I pray for him every day that he will accept Jesus into his life
Equally yoked relationships are so important, i hope he gets saved too
Are you sure you weren’t the one who was toxic?
@@TheSupaman98 Yes, I'm sure. I've bent over backwards for him and he still treated me like dirt.
@@LFDLittlefluffydino Maybe if you didn’t try to force him to go to church all time time, and actually acknowledge that others don’t have the same beliefs as you and don’t have to be punished for it, then maybe you wouldn’t be treated like dirt?
@@TheSupaman98 I understand that, but maybe I didn't want him to burn in Hell. Goodbye.

WOW! I just posted Matthew 18: 21-22 on my Instagram story to share with my friends and family, many of them are non believers. Immediately after posting it, I got a notification from RUclips about this video. GOD IS GREAT, HALLELUJAH, PRAISE THE LORD!!!!
Thank you for this. The Lord has given me 3 people to witness too within the past month and I’ve never really done it before. I’ve always been nervous on what to say to them, how I should say it, and the whole what if I say something wrong or don’t know the answer to their questions. But the Lord has really helped me with these problems and through witnessing to my 3 coworkers/friends, he has given me more confidence in preaching the gospel to them. My heart really goes out to these 3 people and I really have such Christ like compassion for them. Just the other night, as I was leaving, I thought about their eternity and broke down in tears praying God please save them. I can’t do anything more than be an image of Jesus and pray for them and opportunities like this video says. Please pray for my coworkers/friends Gracee, Dusty, and Christy to be saved. And Lord I pray for more opportunities to speak to them about you and I pray for your wisdom and guidance to say the right things.
Bless you brother
praying for them!
I'll pray for you all.✝️💖
In fact, my whole household needs saving. They believe in God alright, and they sometimes play worship music around the house and they sometimes talk about God, but you can tell they're not saved by their lifestyle and the way they behave. What do I do then? I don't want my relatives to be separated from God!
I agree this is the perfect example of a way to show them how it changed you, and how it can change them too!
My best friend who is a really great person isn’t religious because her parents want her to grow up and choose. I really want to preach the Bible to her and teach her about it but I never know how I can’t get her. She doesn’t wanna go to church with me though because she lives far away and doesn’t know a lot about god or Jesus. I really hope though as I become a better version of myself one day I can get her to ask to go though and she can learn about the Bible. Even if I can’t ask her straight up I’m gonna do my best to be a good person and set an example. I hope Jesus can save her one day the way he did me and all of his followers thank you for this video :)
Pray Ephesians 1 17 for her daily.
Ask God to set her free and give her eyes to see.
Look for scriptures that talks about setting the captives free and pray it for her.
Thank me later😊
@@johnjustice4420 thank u for the advice I will
Praying for her 🙏🏾❤
@@angelalaicer6576 thank you that’s so kind of you 🙏🏻😭
God with you
Hi.. Lovely and informative video.. But I think it's missing a key component.."Asking the Holy Spirit to lead".. this is different than just praying for that person because we're relinquishing control and asking God to lead, instead of us trying so hard like it depends on us.. and it's amazing how the Holy Spirit gives us the right words and teaches us the actions we need to carry out in order to reach someone.. Our efforts can never achieve that.. He's so creative and the wisdom He gives us in that situation is unparalleled.. Please include that in your teaching.. It's through the Holy Spirit the apostles were equipped to share the goodnews after Jesus' resurrection.. He's our Helper
My best friend is an unbeliever, and I started talking to her about Jesus the last weeks of classes we had. I just felt so discouraged when she seemed bored with the topic, I just didn't know what to do and just stop talking. I really want to help her, but the problem is that her father is an atheist, and he doesn't let his family go to church or talk about the Bible. Since I realized that I can help her through praying, I haven't stop. All the times I pray, I ask God to help her ❤ Thanks for this video!! I just hope I can help her before is to late, God bless you today, tomorrow, and all days!!! Good night ❤ :)
I've felt distress for years as I've had many friends in the past but did not properly walk according to the Word of God back then, in as much as I stood by my faith. Now that I'm older and reassessing my place in the Lord, I cannot help but feel guilt for not being better for my friends then. I can only pray they'll be able to experience the Lord for themselves, or another opportunity will arise for me to witness properly.
Thank you for this video, God bless you ❤🙏🏾
jeez bruh, you're giving me all the answers, the lord really gave you a lot of knowledge
praise God :)
This is beautiful! Thank you! I know this is something that I struggle with, and I get nervous whenever I think about sharing the Gospel with my friends and family. I will definitely keep these tips in mind.
You’re very welcome. Yeah I think we all struggle with it to a degree
Amazing video as always.
For almost a year and a half, I worked at Chick-fil-A, and while there's that stereotype that everyone at Chick-fil-A is a Christian, this location was located by a busy highway in a rougher part of town, so it was a mix of believers, non-believers, and people who just weren't sure.
At first, I was nervous about sharing my faith, or else I'd come off as preachy or judgemental, but I started mentioning stuff like how I went to church and volunteered there, and the types of bands I listened to. I would engage in lighthearted conversations and cracked jokes that made everyone feel comfortable around me. I'm sure if I had more one-on-one time with all of them I could've witnessed more, but I planted a seed. And I pray that those seeds begin growing.
I cried so beautiful,deeply! Jesus love is infinite! I love you Jesus!
It becomes more difficult when the other person thinks believing in Jesus is gonna hurt them mentally , spiritually and physically no matter what people say because of her upbringing in a different belief. She does come with me to church solely because she enjoys the company of the church members and refreshment after the church service so i think her coming to the church is a good sign. I dont know what will happen the only thing i can do is to pray and wait patiently for God. I urge y'all to please pray for my friend.🙏
This is exactly the topic I’ve been praying about! Thank you sir!
Same!
@@Carlo2M. Hope you also found meaning in it!
@@foolforchrist319 I have, thx!
This advice also works for people married to non-believers in Christ.😊😊
Thank You Lord Jesus 🙏🙏
Amen by all the power of God, he will use our worthless lifes and give meaning to it and bless the ones around us, Thank you Lord for letting me pray for my friends
Amen.
All Praise and Glory, Be Unto
THE HALLELUJAH!!!
🙌✝️❤️🔥
Hi, I am a new teen and in 2023. I found Jesus. So I was hoping if you have any advice for a young teen to be faithful and strong with the spirit. Much appreciated.
The angels rejoice over a single person who turns to God, im gratful for you! Read the Bible and save verses directly to your heart, perhaps even get into apologetics and spiritual warfare if you want to stand for God, but above all believe in Jesus and be baptized in the Holy Spirit so God dwells with you forever
God bless!
That’s awesome, I’m 16 and I was saved probably sometime last year. I don’t remember the date but it wasn’t super long ago. One thing I would say is I know it’s hard to witness to your friends and tell them about Jesus but remember that if they think you’re weird or a religious freak, so what? Their eternal life is at stake so don’t let yourself get discouraged. I’ll pray for you man and I love you.
ALL of my friends have been non-believers even when I was saved. I thought that as a Christian I should only want to be around those who believe, but I've since seen this as an opportunity to really save some people!! :) I don't have much luck with making friends in person, so I also have some online friends! I pray I'm able to plant a seed and, with the power of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, can cause that seed to grow and flourish ^^
Thank You Lord, You are always on time
❤️🔥🔥😇🙏🇮🇱🇺🇸🇵🇭🕊️🛡️
I really needed this, i've been praying for a friend of mine and got her really close to God, however yesterday she told me she doesn't believe there is a God anymore and it stung my heart, i've been praying for her ever since. Thank you
i’ve been there many times. i totally get it! she’ll find her way. i pray that for everyone who loses faith. 💗
Pray Ephesians 1 17 for her.....she will come through.
Eyes to see is what is needed.
Pray scriptures when you are praying for her.
Ask anything according to his will, he hears you.
She decided she doesn't want to be friends with me anymore
@@colebynum9It’s not up to you to save her, only Jesus can at that point. Pray for her.
@@Erik_Ochoa013 true, and I will continue to do so
I love these 3 tips. Someone really close to me recently accepted Jesus as his savior and got baptized. We joined a church and the emotions of knowing he believes after 10 years of me praying for him was so overwhelming. I was crying with tears of Joy in my eyes as he was baptized. I have shared the word with so many ppl and I look forward to continuing to do so. I don't live the most perfect life and fall short all the time. All I can do is strive to live my life like JESUS and ask myself daily WWJD?
AMENN!!! Thank you so much for using your gift to glorify God and to share!
Perfect timing, I will watch this in a little bit! Thank you :)
I needed this to be honest. I have a friend all away back from first grade. And all I’ve been doing for many years is sharing the gospel with him. He understands it, he knows who Jesus is and everything. But deep down in his heart he doesn’t want to accept Him because once he does he has to let go of things he doesn’t want to let go of. I’ve shared the Gospel with him many times and I’ve done what I’m suppose to do. All I can do is keep sharing the Gospel and pray. Thanks for this video it helps ❤ Please pray for my friend
Thank you so much! I was thinking about this as I was at my Bible study tonight. This is so helpful!! :D
Really needed this video. I just got done praying for my son and a friend who are non- believers and my phone makes a noise. Usually it doesn’t. So I check and find your video. God listens and delivers. Thank you ❤
Thank you for the great video! I’m pretty introverted, so sharing the gospel with my friends and families is a challenge.
I really appreciate this ministry. Been watching this consecutively every week now, and I always learn something new about my walk with Christ. Thank you!
literally just had a conversation with my athiest friend about God and faith, this is the first video I see. God is truly with you and I, God bless.
I really needed this because I've been wondering how to say to my family and friends that what Jesus did for us and that I hope they will go to God like I did
So hard so my parents to come to church with me but today my mom wanted to read her bible from her phone! 🙏 also my dad was thinking to go to church but since I work it’s been hard for him to go since he doesn’t want to go alone 😭 still gonna pray! 💯
I just want my buddy’s to be saved man, I think it would do so much good in their lives
I needed this guidance I feel I just push my friends away from Jesus rather than point them towards Him I'll never give up on them because God never gave up on me just need to take it one step at a time one day at a time
This is such a great introductory video for evangelism! I would like to see this because a series or smth like that
this is definitely one of the things that I struggle with doing as I don't want them to turn a deaf ear ( I used to be one of them) but you just never know, you just gotta keep planting seeds. and yes the biggest way to share faith is to WALK like Jesus. I was just telling my friend that the other day!!
Thank you for the encouragement. I'm seeking to become better with sharing. Before I leave work on Sundays, I do openly say "I'm off to church". Sometimes that opens doors, else it's swept aside.
Great tips, Team Impact! Such a great encouragement for us to love our unbelieving friends through sharing Jesus to them. I have a college friend who rejected God when we were younger. But one day, years later, she told me that through one of my posts on Facebook, she went to a bible-based church for the first time and accepted Christ as her personal Savior. It's one of the happiest pieces of news I've gotten in my life! So it's true, it takes patience. May we just live like Christ, and in God's time, may God work in our friends' hearts. - Hanna
Honestly, this has been so hard for me just because it has been SO HARD to make and hang out with friends in my family’s current situation (quite a bit of cancer and death) and I have been so lonely. Also being an aspie creates its own social struggles, sharing faith or not. I’m so afraid of pushing people away and being even lonelier. I know that’s minuscule compared to someone’s eternal salvation but man is it petrifying.
I like to think I’m doing okay with people at work though. I wouldn’t hang out with a lot of them outside of work, but I try as hard as I can to do little things like carry extra gloves/scarves if someone doesn’t have one, give my coat, offer a hug, stuff like that. I’ve been told I’m the Samwise of the group so I’d say I’m on the right track. 😂❤
I totally get you. I've only got 2 good friends. I'm a senior in high school. It's pretty often actually when I can't talk to either one of them bc they're hanging with other friends. I hate being lonely too. I just WISH that I could hang with Jesus in person. I think I'm getting worse when it comes to being social. For a while I've been afraid of rejection. Socially, physically, emotionally. Even just the overwhelming desire to ask for a hug seems vulnerable because you gotta be "tough and strong". Sry that was kinda long but I TOTALLY get you.
@@paigestrecker6739 Hiii, this is on my little sisters acc but I'm a senoir in highschool, too! I struggled with loneliness a lot when I was depressed AND when God had isolated me for a while. But it was all working for my good. The bible says it's better to have no friends than bad friends so having at least 2 good friends is better than a multitude of people that drain you. I pray for christian fellowship over your life and for God to bless you with the patience to wait on his timing regarding your relationships. "Let your conversation be witthout covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, no forsake thee." Hebrews 15: 5. I also pray for strenght for you in all aspects of your being, socially, physically and emotionally. I pray for balance in your life and for redemption in each part so that you may fulfill the will of the Father. Don't lose hope! Trust God and he will not fail you, I promise :)
JESUS LOVES US ALL SO MUCH❤! Your videos are changing lives by helping people find their faith and love 💕 thank you so much keep going God bless 🙏
they will know we are Cristians by our love.
My pastor used that saying this morning.
Hi. I have a Muslim friend I’m trying to witness to. I am yet to share the gospel with her but have been sharing a bit about my faith and invited her to church today. Please join me to pray for her and her salvation that her heart will readily come to know God through Jesus . Thank you!
Thank you so much for posting this video.🙏🏽 I find it very hard to witness in my workplace, but try to be a proper example, in spite of my hard-headed flesh. I'll be leaning on these tips in this year
I always like how your videos are relevant to the world we live in, thank you for the work you do God bless!
This was something much needed for me to hear at this moment. I pray that may our Father in Heaven strengthen us to live according to His Word so that people may see His Son Christ Jesus in us, to continually and constantly pray for our loved ones, and never to let go of the opportunities we have to talk to them about Salvation through His Son LORD Jesus Christ. As God's Word says, “This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” John 17:3 (NASB) Amen! ❤️
Thank you for this video! I find family the hardest to minister to, over friends, for me. May the Lord give us all wisdom ❤🙏🏾
I really needed this video as of late. I've been stressing and worrying about being a witness to my brother and sister-in-law who are a bit agnostic and apprehensive when it comes to faith and trusting God. I've been praying and shedding tears for them so seeing this video has helped a lot Thank you and God bless you❤😊
PRAYING EVERYDAY FOR MY FAMILY SALVATION THEY ARE ALL CATHOLIC 😭 I WISH THEY COULD KNOW LORD JESUS AND FATHER BETTER THAN A STATUE😭😭😭
If they are Catholic then what are you worried about? It seems that God has answered your prayers
@@poglimpoReligion won’t save us, only relationship with Jesus as our Lord and Savior by faith alone, by Christ alone.
Catholics are saved
You could pray with them but just a honest family prayer, no memorized prayers or fancy words, and not to a statue and just in a circle.
most Catholics are saved you don’t have nothing to worry about if your family is devoted to God
Thank you so much for this video. I struggle a lot at finding the right place and time to tell my friends about Jesus.
Amen thak you for your videos, they are very helpful and have helped me to grow in my faith.
I want to say thank you for all your vidoes you helped me grow my faith as a 13 year old thank you!! and dont forget everyone Jesus loves you.
Thanks for this sound advice. I'm a relatively new Christian and I am passionate about witnessing for Jesus. This is very helpful stuff.
5 mins 🎉 🙏🏾 Thank you & can’t wait for the live!
The outro phrase " Jesus loves you" Will literally never get old
This video came at a great time in my life, I have ran myself to tears trying to point loved ones to Jesus Christ, I've been trying to set a better example, but it just becomes a lot after being shut down so many times. I even struggle with my own beliefs, I have been constantly annoyed by God's presence and messages in my feed and I don't understand as to why, I have doctors who say OCD but it still just hurts me to think like this. So much has happened in the beginning of this new year and not good things, It just so disheartening trying to move forward in life trying to bring others with you but not even being able to help yourself. I will continue to pray for God's message in all of this and to hopefully understand these thoughts. God bless.
I have been searching for channels that teach the whole Bible & biblical understanding, to be able to share with others... there are few who do it for adults, little lone for the younger group this day and age...
I subscribed to your channel after watching a few of your videos & will be watching more over the next week or so... and as long as it continues to line up with scripture when im done, I'll be sharing your channel with parents in my travels & online so they can share it with their youth for an at home tool for the kids to use...
I tuned in to your Livestream the other day and was saddened when I saw you charged people & kids $5 to be a member so they could ask questions in the live chat...it reminded me of what they were doing in Matthew 21:12-13... but in this day and age where the 2 Timothy 3:1-5 & 4:3-4 mentality is upon the earth I can't say I'm surprised...
Really, really thank you. Many times I prayed to the lord to ask for forgiveness because I feel egoistic for not sharing with them the good message of jesus' sacrifice and resurrection and I probably would annoy him if he would be a human. Nevertheless I am grateful to see this and ask you to be with me and pray to the almighty lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth to bring all of our loved ones to repentance and change of mind towards the true living water and the only way to salvation and to the father im heaven. In jesus' might name we pray, Amen❤️🙏
You are very good at this. I Praise the Lord and Thank you so much :)
I love this video ❤! Thank you!
Couldn't have come at a more perfect time. Thanks for sharing!
I could write it a 100 times - I love your Videos / Messages / and mostly the illustrations ♥

Thank you for me making this video . I was thinking about the same topic . You solved my problem ❤❤
I needed this video bro,Thank you for this,im really insecure and ,,scared" of telling people about God,Ill use this examples, God bless!
Guysss I have a prayer for you guysss I hope you guys like it as much as I do it’s a good one for the morning :) - Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
I LOVE THIS KIND OF PRAYER WOW GLORY TO GOD❤
Thank you brother for everything you do
Thank you so much for this. I've needed advice on this for a little while now. God loves you all❤❤❤❤❤❤❤✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
