Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

John 12:38 That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

Early on in this effort I began with a devotional called My Witness. In it I described a miracle. I also said scoffers would not believe me to be a creditable witness. I can speak to all that Lord has done in me that are miracles to believers and seem creditable. That is because God has already done miraculous things in their lives.

What of the lost? How can we be a creditable witness to the lost? It isn’t going to be accomplished by raising speculation about our own sanity. It has to unfold in two forms.

We must show them love. They have to feel like we have their best interests at heart or anything we may say will roll of their backs like water off a duck. This takes an investment. Even in street evangelism we must show an interest in what they think and believe. The second part is vital.

We need to know what we are talking about. We need to counter lies with creditable truth, one that stands up to reason and does not simply decry the speaker as a liar. In order for one to lie, they must first know the truth. Being convinced of a lie does not make them a liar, it makes them a victim of Satan’s lies.

Where do we begin? We begin with bring the Kingdom of God into this earthly realm. It is a spiritual kingdom and the spirit must be at work in this world in order for us to be creditable witnesses. He is the spirit of truth and as such must be heard and allowed to speak.
