We are all called to this work of Evangelism, but we must remember, whether sharing the Gospel with one person or a hundred, we depend entirely on God for the opportunity, the courage to speak, the content of our message, and the sinner’s response. Therefore . . .

1. We must be devoted prayer, pleading with God to intervene in the circumstances and hearts of those to whom we wish to speak. And, we must be thankful for God’s answer and providential rule over all.
2. We must pray specifically that God would open doors, meaning, give us the opportunity to explain the Gospel to unbelievers.

3. Finally, having prepared ourselves for Evangelism by committing God’s truth to our memories, we must pray that God would help us speak in a clear and orderly fashion, with love, and respect.

These are the 3 evangelistic necessities Paul speaks of in Colossians 4:2-4

Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving; 3 praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned; 4 that I may make it clear in the way I ought to speak.
