| Do Christians really take this verse to heart? |

If we are truly believers, followers of Jesus Christ, that means that we have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us. And if the Holy Spirit is living in us, we have no excuse not to be witnessing to the unsaved around us! If this is so, I am not sure why I hear people say that it is hard fot them to talk to others about their relationship with Jesus Christ! My guess is that it is either because they really do not have the Holy Spirit living within them and are really not saved, or they are trying to witness using their own power and not submitting to the power of the Holy Spirit! This verse tells us that witnessing is not an option if we are Holy Spirit filled believers, and that witnessing not only means with our mouths but with our service to the lost around us! Isn't it about time we as Christians try to stop doing things on our own and submit ourselves to the Lord and the power that is given to us through the Holy Spirit?
