Persuasive: convincing, compelling, forceful.
Have you ever convinced someone to do something that you want them to do? We all have at some time or another; sometimes with great ferver. Have you ever been that way while you witness to someone? We see in Acts 26, that Paul is witnessing to King Agrippa and Festus and when he is done speaking in verse 28 King Agrippa says, "You almost persuade me to become a Christian." Most Christians in America want to let their lives do the witnessing instead of bringing the Gospel to our friends, neighbors, and co-workers. When we witness, we need to allow the Holy Spirit to fill us with the words that will speak to that person. We also need to allow the Holy Spirit to give us a burning desire to share from our hearts what the Lord has done for us. He will give us power... (Acts 2:8). If we don't have a personal relationship with Christ, we can't convey to others the depths of Christ's love by dying for us. We need to live it and speak it!!
