Hi there!
So the situation is this: faith is a choice, people of the world no longer care about the answer to their replacement of faith, the only hope is that they will be interested to spend time thinking about it - which we (the believers) can encourage them to do. Just hoping they will come to the right conclusion (about Jesus) won't work (not in isolation).
We need to pray that believers are resourceful enough, to give time to people of the world - while praying the seed of believers like them, come to fruition. I am writing this now, because I have seen the gulf between God and the world grow and I realise that without wisdom and counsel our efforts will gradually weaken - the Devil is not intent on having us weeded out, but the time is coming when he will have no option but to tempt us to fight each other.
I think it might be fitting, for me to ask for your forgiveness, if I have made you angry or doubted you unnecessarily, in the Lord's Name, Amen.
The Holy Spirit will gift us in time, we should have hope in that (the world will not be gifted, it will be lead).
I hope this has been of some encouragement.
God bless.
