instinctive/manifest evangelism

I can't tell you how many times I have heard good sermons or sermonets wind up their content with what feels like a general call to "go out there and evangelize, be the church outside of these walls, in your work, with your extended family," etc, etc. The feelings I get are kind of an excitement, a near and present need to go evangelize. This is good, but it's missing something.

See, each time we hear this, we get fired up. But when we actually step outside the doors, what happens? We don't know what to do.
There is a disconnect between the simple "go out and love people" and actually doing it. When we actually hit specific situations, we freeze up or simply don't remember the urgency. It's not that we don't care, it's not even that we're treating it like a duty that must be accomplished. We can truly love these people, respect them, be under Gods will, and still be fumbling about. I think this is because we haven't explained how we are to be the evangelical church.

Well, there are hundred different responses to that question, a hundred different nuggets of wisdom put forth by many dozens of authors. Nearly all of them are true, because most of them deal with specific situations or different mindsets we are to have, different truths about the people we are speaking with, different truths about God, and they're all true. However, very few I have found deal with the general manner in which we speak.

Where do our thoughts come from? How do we make decisions? When do we speak or stay silent, love or bring truth, preach or live? We go out there and freeze because we know that we need to do something, but we have no framework for how to do it.

Here is the main points of this post:
We must focus on taking those many truths and ingraining them into our hearts and subconscious such that we naturally behave with regards to them, and therefore evangelize with the appropriate frequency and manner.

Here are several examples: If God truly is your greatest joy, that fact will come up naturally in conversation and be shown naturally through the way you act. If you truly believe in both the urgency of salvation but the respect for human will, you will naturally speak as much as you should and stop when you feel you are going too far. If you truly believe that God has you back, that you need worry about nothing, that no one can truly hurt you, then all the inappropriate anger, fear, self-justification, defense, and pushing beliefs unto others will die out. If you truly know that it is God and God alone who does work in peoples lives, we being only the instruments of his word (though very respectable and awesome instruments), then you will not be overzealous or resort to mean measures to convert people, leaving only the bold simple truth of the gospel for all to see.

Knowledge is valuable, to use knowledge is power.

Know the truth and the appropriate actions will naturally manifest themselves out of it. "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Matthew 6:33. John 4:13-14 "Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” 

So, my friends, discipline your hearts and mind. Take and eat of the truth of the word, "These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates." Deuteronomy 6:6-9.

May the peace and joy of God, utter delight in him, fill you up, guarding your hearts and minds as you are enclosed in the loving arms of our savior Jesus, making you bold because you are loved, to face all whom you may meet with undeserved love.
