The times in my life I’ve been the most successful at evangelism and been the happiest are when I just let the Holy Spirit speak through me. My mind goes empty and I just say what I know and the sources I have and let Him do the rest

That was truly a beautiful way to explain it. I always struggled to not compare myself and just today I had decided to stop doing that and know Him better. So, thanks for sharing more light about how we have to rely on God and not on ourselves. God bless you, and everyone! May He allow us to love and know Him more each day.

Honestly can vouch for this, the happiest time of my life came after I started really trying to know Christ. And when I say happiest time, I mean the most intense and amazing and beautiful thing I’ve ever experienced. Then I messed it all up and I’m trying - and currently failing to recreate it. Basically, this post is 110% correct.

Pray this happens. It’s seems like the “knowing him part” is always out of my reach and something is blocking me from knowing him, can never get close for some reason. Thanks

Do you understand that knowing Jesus is more valuable than anything? Paul said that everything else is rubbish the more he realizes the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus (Phil 3:8). I'm not saying this to shame you, nor to scare you. But I want to bring awareness that so often we value being seen as a Christian or feeling like a Christian more than the most fundamental thing. Knowing Jesus. So before you try to stop sinning on your own willpower, doing a ministry on your own strength, or do anything on your own accord. Remember this, God cares about knowing you far more than He cares about what you do for Him.
So stop comparing yourself to the most fruitful Christians in your life. I know it is frustrating to not be where they are, but if you focus on the action, you forget about the One where the action comes from. Jesus Christ is the source of all things, He is our strength, and He is everything we will ever need.
So to conclude the question I started this post with, we should all be praying, "Show me the worth of knowing Christ." That God would reveal to us what Paul saw. Because a ministry and any act for God is worthless, if we don't understand the worth of knowing Him. It is my prayer that we all—including myself—grow in this. And it's not a sort of thing you stop growing, Paul said surpassing worth for a reason, more and more each day, may we love Jesus more. Again no shame, no comparison, just growth from real time with God. Keep doing that, and you not only will bear much fruit, but realize that the Vine is who truly mattered all along, and the fruit was nothing but a sweet byproduct. (John 15:5)
