Soulwinning experiences

[soulwinner]

like i stated before kelsc NO i dont want to lift up man but to lift up the name of Jesus and what the Spirit has done, now that is being lined up with God's word. I have not tried to glorify myself but to humble myself and share what great things God has done! I can do nothing apart from Him. Amen and Amen!

I understand what you are saying. I was only sharing that I felt the same way as Other One...having concern that it can be an easy thing to start walking down the road of self-glorification (and I gave an example that I had seen of that happening) if we are not careful. I do not disagree with you in regards to sharing what the Lord has done and working for Him and Praising Him! I will do that with you all day long!!

Hey, I'm very new to this site. I just found this thread tonight.

I have a desire to lead others to Christ but don't really know how to get started.

I have talked to people, mentioning God and so forth but I haven't gotten that much further.

I'm afraid that once I start talking to someone that person might ask me a question that I might not be able to answer. Sometimes people just want to debate when they hear God mentioned. I'm afraid of making awful mistakes with my words while in the process of witnessing.

Tell us more of your stories and go into detail of what scriptures you share, ect.........

Stepoffaith, welcome to Worthy and Bless you for wanting to share the Gospel of Christ!

There are so many ways in which we can share the good news to others. One of the first things to remember is that the Holy Spirit will be with an honest heart and will help you through. Another point is that many are lost in the world and what you will be saying to them is foreign to their hearts. With that, satan doesn't want you going around and spreading the Word and will put any stumbling block he can in front of you. You'll be talking with someone and every distraction in the world will pop up suddenly; the kids will be tugging at their moms skirt, the dog will bark, the phone will ring, the food on the stove will be burning, every thing imaginable will happen while you are trying to talk. Try to recognize these distractions for what they are and work through them.

I will suggest that you get involved with your church's Soul-winning program. Match up with someone that goes out regularly and simply observe how they do it. Learn all you can. While they are talking with someone, be in silent prayer for that person as they try to reach the one they are talking with. Be asking God to reach that one person you are witnessing to. Like anything new, there is a learning process. Don't worry about the door being slammed in your face. It's going to happen regardless, but trust me, someone out there right now needs you. Someone out there is waiting for that knock on the door. Someone is searching for Christ and waiting to hear the Good News!.

One way to go through it with someone with your Bible in hand is called the "Roman's Road" method.

Ask someone in your church about it. It's God's simple plan for salvation with verses to show people the way to Christ.

If you can't get anyone to explain it to you by tomorrow, PM me and I will try to lay it out for you.

Above all, remember that you are a worker in God's service. Be in Prayer about anything in your life that may need attending to. Clear your heart and remember that it is the lost person that matters most when witnessing.

Bless you and may God reward your efforts!

Post your results, good or bad here so that we can see how you are doing, and maybe we can learn more to help our work!

GB!

I went out again last Thursday and had a pretty good conversation with a couple that was coming to our church fairly regularly, but have dropped off some lately.

My friend and I went to their house to check on them and see if they needed anything or if their was any problems we could help with. They said they had been busy and out of town during the holidays and that they would be back in church on Sunday.

Lord I pray they make it. We know that they are moving in April, so we hope to get them in church until then so that they stay on the right path when they move to their new town.

Sorry, no stories of winning a lost soul this week, I wish I could report more, but the Lord moves us where He needs us the most, I reckon.

See you next week!

thanks for sharing ted! Yesterday I spoke at my grandfather's funeral I was able to share with my family how I lead my grandfather to Christ and in doing that I was able to share the gospel with my whole family!

Amen, Brother.

To me, this is one of the best threads for many reasons. I don't know why it hasn't been picked up by many more, but I think it will in time.

Just keep typing out the experiences.

It can only help.

I'm sorry for not getting back lately. I have been sick with the flu for the past week and I'm afraid I haven't been a very good witness with all my whining and complaining about being sick.

The one thing I can relate here is the witnessing to Undecided Frog and FogLight right here on Worthy over the past few days.

Maybe there is something we can do better as far as witnessing goes. I'm not sure, but I don't intend to give up.

May God reach them tonight!
