Evangelism??
Glory to God for all his wonders and works in my life i am just overjoyed and words can not express what his word is doing in my life his worthy to be praised..........
I would love to go unto what Evagelism is but i really dont want to confuse anyone..... so if anyone has any questions let me know and will answer them individually.... This blog is going to cover different types of evangelisms..
see what type of evangelism you like to do and suits you best.. but we all know through the holy spirit we are all able to do and adjust to any of them so just look and see which one is your favourite enjoy.....
We must find the approach that fits yourself , way ur comfortable because if uncomfortable someone will close the door to receive what is being told
Can choose either door to door, in the bus stop
God has given you.. your own special anointing and specific annointing
1st Peter Confrontation approach: ready and aimed fire... said it and left it for the receiver... peter could reach some people but can reach someone whose also confrontation.. people walk around with a confrontation spirit... confront the truth about God... peter knew what he wanted matthew 16:15 peter reburked jesus...... some people need to be spoken directly. Peter WAS DIRECT BOLD AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT... conviction of the holy spirit. When you hold the fire to their feet
2nd Paul: Paul could argue a point until he got to the point... he made room for other people’s opinion acts 17 paul liked debate ..... can discuss and debate things over and over again... can reach out to someone this way. Until their mind can be conviced. Its the holy spirit that brings convintion but some people need to stop their own thinking and break the bondage to allow the holy spirit to take place in them.. no freedom in the heart whats in their mind is in their heart... bondage of religion... reaching out to this people in order to prove to them that the gospel is true.. it has become more and more important in the present generation
3rd Blind man approach John 9: 1-12 jesus heals a man born blind .. Christianity is practical and is applied to the modern life... we feel its not like someone elses.. God has changed my life from darkness to life it should be good enough to touch someone elses life... don’t look for the spectacular look for someonthing that works in ur life because people are looking for reality.... what you did lord in my life that took me out of darkness to life will touch someone elses life and will be good enough ....100, 000 starts with one .... nobody can take away what God has done in your life
4th Matthew interpersonal approach... I just want to be known as a soul winner.. matthew was a taxi collector running around for ppl’s money not for their souls.. Luke5:9.. After his encounter with Jesus he had a party to win his guests souls.. inviting people in your home and talking to them about the gospel... trying to preach to people and telling them they have to get involved in church is not really a good idea because it may sound like a burden.. you need to step bak and let them get born again and love of jesus to get them to heaven.. accepted for who they are... building relationships one by one.. build the relationship will have influence with the person
5th Samaritan woman approach: three things against her Samaritan woman she was living a different life style... God will still use us even when we have done wrong as long as we repent john 5:8 the woman at the well... prophetic word of insight changed her life.... she went to the whole town to tell people of the jesus she had met... when we impact people they are going to other people and talk to them about God.. one in four people are open to a Christian meeting pizza, music... in a place where ur exposed to the word of God the power of God the freedom and deliverance of the holy spirit...
6th Acts 9:36 always serving people... go as part of your service.. e.g make a meal, baby sit for a few minutes, helping the person, why do u want to do that I want to serve you.. because of the gospel.. we need to go the extra mile... eyes of God by looking at who they can help and serve..... You were called to serve
HOW DO WE START A CONVERSATION
Raise topics of interest.. start talking to people in a practical level.. how are you? What do you do? Talk on their level where they at?
How do we get where people can interact with us...
Whats your opinion on jesus
What your spiritual background
Have you ever thought of what will happen when you die
What your opinion on Christianity
Make them feel part of the conversation
What do you do for business
What do you do for sport, free time, hobbies to connect with people and then introduce the gospel later on, showing the love of God...
Pray hard, talk to people in individual basis, encourage the curiosity, where they are, which background and know where they are coming from.. alert and listen carefully, key that unlocks their heart, don’t underestimate their curiosity... don’t look at the outward picture talk to them, be bold in what you believe, don’t be tense , speak from the heart,
In the conversation is it possible to pray with you,, even if they don’t give their heart to God,
When you pray for them make sure the person is confortable be discrete, start in a normal pitch, normal language they understand, speak simple English, what they can remember lord jesus you are my saviour, even when the devil tried to take it away from them they will remember what you prayed ask them can I pray for you...
When they have given their life to Christ encourage them to go to a local church.. try and encourage them and engage with them.. not a life of isolation...... For example you could ask them for their number to check on them and swiftlyy encourage them to go to church.. if they dont want to give their number give them your number... or church address and leave the rest to God...
Hope this has been helpful as it helped me..... Thanks to loveworld tv really inspiring words.....
