Study10B...Your own testimony is the best witness you can share. It is not just teaching Bible truths. It is "being" a product of those truths. In other words, don't just say it -- be and do it.

Study10B...still on witness
Act1:1-11
You are a witness. When a person has experienced the forgiveness of his sins, he is then able to witness or give testimony to the salvation that is mentioned in
Ephesians 4:11 , but it puts you in the same place as those who were witnesses in the early church. They said, "For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard" ( Acts 4:20 ). You are able to witness about Jesus, for you have met Him personally.
The last study stopped in point 2...We'll start from point 3..
3 . THE PLACE GOD INDICATES
Where are God’’s witnesses to go? We have already noticed that He wants them everywhere, but in Acts 1:8 a very definite geographical setting is indicated – – “in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth”” –- compare Matthew 28:19. This means that some witnesses must leave their homes and go to other places, other lands, in order that they may obey the Lord’’s commission. Notice the following:-
(1) In the light of Acts 1:8, as His witnesses every one of us should be willing to go anywhere for the Lord. Whoever we are, whatever our age and whatever our circumstances, we should be willing to be the Lord’’s witnesses in the place of His choice.
(2) In the light of Acts 1:8, people of any age should be exercised about being the Lord’’s witnesses. The need is great and there are millions of people who have never heard of Christ. On every continent the Lord needs His labourers, and those of us with health and strength should be challenged.
(3) In the light of Acts 1:8, all who would be His witnesses must begin in Jerusalem. That is to say, we must begin at home by living consistently for the Lord where we live or work. Going abroad will not make us witnesses!
God’’s great heart of love yearns over the whole world, and His method for evangelising it is to send out living witnesses (Romans 10:13-15).
4 . THE POWER GOD SUPPLIES
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses…”…” No-one can be an effective witness without the power of the Holy Spirit. Look up and compare Luke 4:18 with Luke 24:49 and Acts 2:4. How did Hudson Taylor become such a bold witness in China? How did William Carey labour for the Lord so effectively in India? What is it that has sustained Billy Graham in his ministry throughout the world? How was it that Peter and Paul were such vital witnesses? How does anyone witness effectively for the Lord? –- look up and compare Zechariah 4:6 with Acts 1:8.
5 . THE PERIOD GOD GIVES
How long do we have left to evangelise the world? –- until the Lord Jesus comes again! Compare Acts 1:8 with verses 9-11. All the signs of the times tell us that His coming is very near. If you and I would be His effective living witnesses we must be ‘on the job’ at once; the matter is urgent, the time is short, the need is great, millions are lost, and the Lord Jesus says to each one of us –- Acts 1:8!
What is your attitude towards His call,but first examine yourself whether you're in faith
Then pray as you go forth,God be with you....
