Pray before, during and after your interaction with a muslim. Before: Pray for opportunity to share your faith with muslims. "God, give me opportunity today to speak to muslims about the love and reality of Christ. Fill me with your Spirit so I may proclaim your truths as clearly as I should. Amen." During: Be in tune with the Holy Spirit throughout your interaction with a muslim. Consider when and how you can pray with them as your conversation unfolds. After: Ask the Holy Spirit how he would like to intercede on this person's behalf. Consider your conversation with this person, and ask God to move in this area of their life.

Question 2

Appreciate

Accepted Answer

To appreciate means to recognize the full worth of something or someone and/or to understand fully. Before you share the Gospel with a muslim, it is best to understand fully what you and they believe and how your beliefs differ.

Question 3

Listen

Accepted Answer

Muslims are generally very passionate about their faith and take it very seriously. When you interact with a muslim, it is best to practice good listening skills. Pay Attention: Give them your undivided attention. Recognize that non-verbal communication also "speaks" loudly. Look at the speaker directly. Put aside distracting thoughts. Don't mentally prepare a rebuttal. Avoid being distracted by environmental factors. And "listen" to his or her body language. Show That You're Listening: Use your own body language and gestures to show that you are engaged. Nod occasionally. Smile and use other facial expressions. Make sure that your posture is open and interested. Encourage the speaker to continue with small verbal comments like "yes", and "uh huh". Provide Feedback: Our personal filters, assumptions, judgments and beliefs can distort what we hear. As a listener, your role is to understand what is being said. This may require you to reflect on what is being said and to ask questions. Reflect on what has been said by paraphrasing. "What I'm hearing is... ," and "Sounds like you are saying... ," are great ways to reflect back. Ask questions to clarify certain points. "What do you mean when you say... ." "Is this what you mean?" Summarize their comments periodically. Tip: If you find yourself responding emotionally to what someone said, say so. And ask for more information: "I may not be understanding you correctly, and I find myself taking what you said personally. What I thought you just said is XXX. Is that what you meant?" Defer Judgment: Interrupting is a waste of time. It frustrates the speaker and limits full understanding of the message. Allow the person you are interacting with to finish each point before asking questions. Don't interrupt with counter arguments or differing beliefs. Respond Appropriately: Active listening is designed to encourage respect and understanding. You are gaining information and perspective. You add nothing by attacking the speaker or otherwise putting him or her down. Be candid, open and honest in your response. Assert your beliefs respectfully. Treat the other person in a way that you would want to be treated. Remember it is the Holy Spirit who draws them: “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.” John 6:44 Avoid trying to debate a muslim to Christ. Rather, love them well by listening well and speaking the truth with gentlness and respect.

Question 4

Share

Accepted Answer

Share scripture, Talk To Jesus and yourself. Scripture: "When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit." John 19:30 Islam as with all religions other than Christianity, is a works-based religion. With Christianity, Jesus did all the work, and by grace through faith in Jesus, we are made right with God. Before Jesus died, he said three words: "It is finshed". This means our sin debt has been paid in full. There is nothing a muslim can do to inherit eternal life; they must put their faith and trust in Jesus alone. Talk To Jesus: Our site url is added to all of our products so you can quickly and easily share Talk To Jesus with others. Encourage muslims to visit t2j.org, and invite them to join a Pathway To God Gathering. Once signed up, they will meet with the author of "Pathway To God" through ZOOM to learn more about Jesus and Christianity. You can also encourage them to click "Meet Jesus". Here they will read about who Jesus is, what He did and why He matters to them. They will hear the Gospel and have the opportunity to receive Jesus. Yourself: Consider following up with the muslims you interact with. Jesus told us not only to fish for men, but to 'make disciples'. Before leaving the people you meet, ask God if this is someone he would like you to disciple. If they are, exchange contact information, and consider discipling that person. At Talk To Jesus, we offer you two outstanding tools to help you disciple the people you meet - our ministry books, "Talk To Jesus" and "Pathway To God".
