Introduction

     Why do Christians have fear about witnessing? Gas Station? Restaurant? Door to Door?

     Do you witness at the Grocery Store or Wall Mart?

     1.  Is it Fear of not knowing how.     2.  Is it Fear of hurting rather than helping.

     3.  Is it a lack of Love for the Lord.

Rev 2:9-10

  10 Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.

1.  Do Not Fear Be Like Your Master. 10:24-26

24 "A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25 It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household! 26 Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

2.  Do Not Fear Man or Circumstances But Fear God. 10:27-28

27 "Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. 28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

3.  Do Not Fear Man or Circumstances But Fear God. 10:29-31

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father's will. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

4.  Do Not Fear Man or Circumstances But Fear God. 10:32-33

32 "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven. NKJV
