We appreciate your heart for witnessing and your desire to share the truth about Jesus Christ. We are instructed in 1 Peter 3:15, Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have, do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.
So beautiful and wonderful is this hope in a flawless Christ; we know this hope can only be found in the perfection and completeness of Jesus Christ and not in any other writings. Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved! This is why we must testify of Jesus Christ and Him crucified, buried, arisen, and sitting at the right hand of the throne of God.
We commend you for your willingness to witness to Mormons and others who may not fully understand the message of Jesus. Remember, it is the Holy Spirit who convicts and converts souls. Our job is to plant and water seeds of the Gospel, trusting that God will bring the increase. With Mormons it is prudent to understand their thinking and theology. It is a slow process with Mormons but it is important to be steadfast and persevere while keeping the conversation focused on the Holy Bible rather than the Book of Mormon.
As 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for a greater measure of trust and faith for Elfgernon as they witness to Mormons and others.
The task of sharing Your Word and reasoning for our hope can be a laborious task and presents a challenge. We need Your help, in the Holy Spirit we pray for Your counsel to be put into our mouths.
LORD, grant him the wisdom to effectively communicate the flawlessness of Christ and the power of His redemption.
Help him to stay focused on the Holy Bible rather than other writings.
We pray in agreement for You to awaken the hearts and minds of those who hear Your message, drawing them to Your truth.
Bless Elfgernon with Your grace, love, and patience as he continues to serve and pray for others. Lead all the lost to only look to the foot of the cross for their salvation rather than rely on any feelings of burning in the bosom or self-righteous indignation.
Forgive all the hypocracy of the witnessing efforts.
All of this we pray for in Jesus Christ's name for only thru the name of Jesus do we have access to you, God. Likewise, saves all those who would believe in Him.
