How to minister to the ungodly: First, draw near to God. Listen to Him. Trust Him. Obey His voice. 1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready [prepared] always [without ceasing] to give an answer [reasoned response] to every man who asks you for a reason of the hope that is in you with gentleness and respect: Note, that this verse starts by instructing us to sanctify the Lord, God in our hearts. This is holiness. Holiness comes by grace through faith and is real, not make-believe or human-manufactured holiness. This verse states that they will ask you. When someone asks, their mind is somewhat open. They will ask if you have joy, peace, love, long-suffering, gentleness, humility, meekness, goodness, faith, wisdom, and inner strength (Christ). They will not ask if you are grouchy, unloving, short-tempered, easily offended, rude, proud, pushing for your way, naughty, immoral, doubting, foolish, and lacking inner strength. It is the Anointing that ministers. Christ is the ministry. You must walk in the Spirit to minister the Spirit.
