Do you believe in spreading your belief to others. Do you ever see someone who seems to be down on life and decide to volunteer to them how believing would help them out?

Yes. I believe in spreading the Gospel to others. We have received so many miracles from Jesus Christ. We should spread these to other people. This will help them to believe God when they are in trouble. So i believe in spreading the gospel. We should spread it to all the people.

That is awesome the way you just witnessed. You worded it beautifully and I know God is smiling down on you, saying 'well done my good and faithful child'. Keep it up when opportunities arise! You get people excited so that they want to try it out themselves. God knew you would be that way.!

I know it is difficult for people who have never experienced God in their own personal life to believe. I have no question that God is alive and exists today. I asked Him to come into my life when I had messed up royally. My prayer wasn't much, it went something like this, "I'm sorry I messed my life up God, if you wan't it, you've got it, ok dude?" Some people would think that is sacreligious, but do you know what? God heard me, and more than anything, He saw the attitude of my heart. He knew I meant it. Something happened to me that day. God's spirit came into my life. How do you explain this? Every person born has a spirit. This is the element that is placed inside of you that gives you the ability to think about God. It might not be everyday, but occassionally you think about Him. God's spirit comes inside of our human spirit when we invite Him to come in. It's so neat. You can sense Him. It's not spooky, it's actually pretty cool. His spirit gives you power to overcome habits and things that you have tried over and over to conquer, but couldn't. My life has been so changed. I don't go around craming God down peoples throats, but when the occassion arises, and someone shows an interest, I tell them how God has totally and completely changed my life around for the good. It's is so fantastic. There isn't ANYONE that could ever convince me any different because God has proven Himself to me, so many times. I wish I could help everyone to see how great He really is, and what a difference He would make in their life if they would just open up to Him. Invite Him into your life, admit you have screwed up in somethings, and let Him know you want Him to come into your life. Just like you have to feed yourself everyday to live you won't believe i, but you have to feed God's spirit in you everyday. A spirit can't eat food, so what do you feed Him? The Bread of Life, which is the BIble. Man, get a version you can understand. There are so many out there. Hey, and by the way, if you haven't been able to understand it, there is a reason. When you invite Him into your life, He gives you special ensight and understanding that you didn't have before. Psalms is awesome, John, Romans, all of it is good, I promise. But if you invite Him into your life then it is like getting a special understanding from that point on that make the Bible come alive to you and for you. You help your spirit to grow by finding a church that preaches the Bible in truth. You'll know, there are so many churches out there today, anyone can find one that you feel like you are part of a family in. Just make sure they are preaching the truth out of the Bible. Just don't give up. It is just so cool being a real Christian. I highly recommend it. It is the best think I have ever done in my life.

hello chrystalheart, here i am again! hehe well i believe that it is one of my duty to spread God's words. but as far as i am concern i just ant to share my belief but i will never try to convert someone in my religion or force them to believe what i believe. for me, we should enter in a religion not because we are forced or whatsoever. it should be our won wheel. and i believe that it is God who calls us. He's just using some instruments. on my part whenever i am able to share my belief, my faith to other people, it gives me a good feeling, coz i know that this is an act that will please God... and also hoping that somehow, i was able to help a person to enlighten or even just help them to lift the spirit up & give some hope...

That is right. When you do tell someone about your belief, they can feel the warmth and compassion, and it makes them feel good that someone cares enough to talk to them. I have talked to people before who I know God wanted me to approach, and He gives me the perfect words to say. After all, He told Moses that He made our mouths, and He will be with our mouths when He needs us to speak.

I feel it is ok to spread the word of god to those who want to listen but I do not force my belief onto others. People are raised differently and believe in different religions. Some dont believe in anything at all. When the time is right I do speak the word and spread my beliefs. Im just not obsessed over it. I had a person on my facebook who was an athiest and he was horrible about it. everything he posted was about how he was athiest and bashing god so I deleted him I dont believe people should be that way if they want to be athiest fine but dont make it all you talk about. I believe in god and I know I have a purpose on this earth but thats not all I talk about I dont force my beliefs onto others. I do spread the word to those who want to listen. thanks.

Yes, it is difficult to hear some people talk against God and Christ. The do it in such a way that's it's obvious that another has their attention instead, and its sad that they don't know actually what's going on. All we can do is pray for that type of person.

I have had a lot of bad experiences many people in the past who dont know anything about my beliefs and are afraid of what they dont understand have treated me badly when I tried to tell them about my beliefs and now living in the heart of the bible belt doesnt help matters any LOL I dont judge people based on their religion and I certainly dont want people judging me so I typically dont bring up the topic of religion but when/if the topic does come up I am very hesitant to talk openly about my beliefs if the conversation is going in a way that makes me feel that the other person will be ok with my beliefs then I am a little more open

Wonttakelong, I'm sorry that people have no right to judge the way you believe. God doesn't want us to behave like that. He wants us to show love to everyone regardless of the religion.

If we call it a 'belief', well I am not going to share it. But if we call it a gospel about God, then I can share it to everyone. It is simple especially if the Holy Spirit is with you. The Holy Spirit will guide you and show you the way on how to share this gospel to every person. The Holy Spirit will also be the one to help you feel that very person and will interact with them.

I don't feel like telling people what I believe in is worng. I also think when you see someone who isn't feeling their best it's good to try and motivate them, cheer them up, or give them some much needed insight. But I do not feel that it is right to prey upon people who are in a vulnerable time of their life.

What are you saying, that if someone tries to tell someone to pray or go to God that it is preying on them? Just don't understand what you're saying.
