unbeliever currious...?

Postby Slater » Sat Nov 13, 2004 11:12 pm

There's a girl who lives in Germany who I've been witnessing to for a while now, yet she seemed to not want Christianity... she says that she just can't believe that God is the way He is (she says that she's not an atheist but she doesn't know what to believe), nor that the Bible is the Word of God... but... she's not sure if she really believes that either. All awhile, she's been changing. First, she really didn't want to talk about God, claimed to be an Atheist (though she admitted lately that she was lying about that), then she started listening more and more as time went on... and now the kicker... today, after spending some time talking about Halo (she sucks at it, but she loves to race her friends in Warthogs apparently), she had to go and told me so, saying that she wasn't trying to avoid me or anything. I told her that I would really like to talk to her more (implied about Christianity, and I'm pretty sure that she's quite aware of that), and she actually scheduled some time out of her schedule to talk to me about it. I was shocked... it's not every day that someone almost halfway across the world says "hey, can we talk about it more at X hour tomorrow? Will you be avaliable?" Y'know? I'm praying that God has finally softened her heart and made her curious about what the Bible and Jesus are all about.

Please pray for this conversation that the enemy doesn't interfere and that the Holy Ghost can speak through me!

i will be praying

Matthew 10
19But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, 20for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you

don't focus on it but know that GOd will speak thru you
I used to "Follow" Him because i had to....now i would give everything to follow Him.

"The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case." - Chuck Close[/color]

No worriess mate, Germany needs some 'new blood', and just so you know, depending on her upbringing christianity for her might just imply going to church and being a good person... like "I'm not buddist, musilm, hiddu... etc.... therefore Im a christian." She may also have some unhappy feeling towards the 'church', alot of pastors arn't christians, and the state pays their income and so we have alot of 'pastor' who only see the bible as a literatry text and as a job, like a denstist etc.
Good luck frwl. ANd if you got any questions about German culture then ask me.

I'll definatly pray for you and her.

Hi,
I'll be praying and I don't know if his will help, but there's this awesome site that talks about witnessing. http://www.wayofthemaster.com/wotm_html.shtml I used the advice on two of my friends a buddist and a mormon. Even though they don't except it now the seeds have already been planted, so it's only a matter of time. :)
God bless you,
Souba
