I hope someone could help me with this, so right down the road from our house there is a hospital type place , Im not sure what its called, But its for people that cant take care of themselves.
So every once in a while I walk by it, and theres always people out in wheelchairs just getting fresh air. And for a while now I've been hearing/feeling God wanting me to talk to them. I know its God because otherwise I would never want to talk to them just because i'm realy shy. So it's been months that i've been feeling this. And everytime I pass them I feel i'm just ignoring God. So I feel so mad at myself, but also so scared. I just make excuses about it.

Like when i'm going around the corner I'll say ''Ok if someones there i'll talk to them'', But they'll be like 5 people out so i'm just like thats too many, i'll do it later.
So anyway i'm scared to talk to them but even more scared to ignore G od. So can anyone tell me what I should talk about, Like do I just straight up try and witness to them, or just show Gods love withchatting and biengs nice.
Any help is appreciated.
 
Be lead by the Spirit..

Hey Rachel.....I know the feeling Sister.... First... Jesus said.. "take no thought what to say, for the Holy Spirit will give it to you in the hour you need it."

The Lord knows what he as equipped you with... So have no issue with messing up... For me.. the Lord may ask me to lay hands on someone to be healed... for you it just might be a friendly Hello, how is everyone.. I see you out here when I walk by...

That is it... Just a simple hello, and Hi... I come by her a lot, and just thought I would stop and greet everyone...

Those older people will be glad you stopped by, and start talking to you... all you do is listen.. and things will just come up in your heart the Lord gives you to share with them.... It's just that simple....

Don't Think at all what else besides "HI" your going to say.... not a thought... Let God do the rest..

It starts with "HI".....
The river Jordan did not split until they just put their foot in the water..

The red sea did not move until hit with a cane.
The healing at Gate beautiful where Peter said.. Silver and Gold have I none.. just started with a conversation ...

A warm simple and friendly HI!!! I come by here all the time, and just thought I stop and say Hello...... and BAM.. the door is open for the Lord, and it's off your conscience.....You obeyed God!!!

and after your hello..... Just listen... as they will be glad to talk to you..

Jesus Is Lord.
 
Just try going by and just waving to them in a friendly way---Even if they respond, keep going---Do that a few times and they will develop an interest in you---Then when you feel more confident add a friendly Hi as you wave---When it comes time to talk with them, just talk about general things---While you're engaged in normal conversation, try to be discerning of some of their needs---That will help to enable you to develop a platform from which you can minister to them the bread of life---Always pray and ask the Lord to fill you with His spirit---Apparently He has already given you the burden for them---Remember--You can do all things through Christ.

Happy
 
Thanks Brother Mike and happyharold4, I feel more confident reading your posts. I will definetly try that next time, with Gods help ofcourse.
 
Yes i agree,with the others,I would just smile and say peace be with you,that usually gets there eyes to bug out a little!! LOL Holy Spirit will led you fear not! It was kind of funny,I thought I would start out with people I knew,I thought that would be easy!!

LOL strangers were better!! LOL My once before friends thought I had lost it. lol Until after about a month, some of them then came to me and asked me to pray for them or a loved one.That was nice! Just remember, you have no fear,just love,which takes fear away,not only for you,but those who speak to you.amen!
