Leading them to the foot of the cross... Step 1. The first thing. that we must realize is that we cannot win a soul by ourselves. We must have the help of the Holy Sprit. You must remember that the Spirit of the Lord knows the persons heart that you are witnessing to, much better than you do. You can talk to a person all day about the Lord, but unless the Holy Spirit is there to convict the persons heart, your witnessing will be in vain. This takes us to step 2. Step 2. Prayer... Before you begin to witness you must pray. You need help outside of yourself. Start by asking the holy Spirit to forgive you of any sin known and unknown that may hinder you from becoming a effectivce witness. You must remember that when you start dealing with a persons soul, You have just started a war between you and the devil. This is nothing to be afraid of, because when you have the Holy spirit on your side you have all power. But the devil is not going to let this persons soul go without a fight. This is why prayer must be a vital part of your witnessing. I know that there are times when you may run into a situation where you wont have time to sit and talk to the Lord, in this case all you need to do is say in your mind, Holy spirit I need your help. If you call on him He will help you. He will bring things to your mind that you may have studied in the Bible long ago. Matthew 10:19 says, But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. Step 3. Know the Word. You must know the scriptures. 2nd Timothy 2:15 says, Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. You must know the Word of God. The are some people that have never been born again that know the Bible better than we do. You must be able to show them why you believe what you believe. 1st peter 3:15 says, But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in with meekness and fear: We must always be able to give that person a reason to believe what we believe. And we have to be able to prove it. Because some sinners are looking for a reason why they shouldn't give their lives to Christ. They are quick to say show me where it says that in the Bible. If you are new in the Lord, The part that you have learned be able to back up just that little. The holy spirit will help you the rest of the way. Now lets go fishing!!! |
