Effective Soul Winning
” But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
– Acts 1:8

Here is how to be effective in a powerful way when you tell others about Jesus.
The power of effective soul-winning comes through the Holy Spirit. To activate that power, you must spend time in intercessory prayer and meditation on God’s Word. Boldness comes by taking these steps of preparation.
You will not lack for things to say when you’ve filled your heart with the Word and prepared the other man’s heart by interceding and pulling down strongholds that would blind his mind.
2 Corinthians 4:4 reads; ‘The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.’
Intercessory prayer creates the right atmosphere for the Holy Spirit to unveil blinded minds. The Word will come forth in power as you witness and they will receive.
If the Word is in you, it will make a way out.
The Bible says in John 14:26 to take no thought of how or what thing you will answer or what you will say because the Holy Spirit will teach you in the same hour what you should say.
Acts 1:8 states, “But you will receive power, after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto me.” As you acquire a thorough knowledge of God’s Word, then your helper and teacher, the Holy Spirit, will bring all things to your remembrance when you need them.
The key to effective soul-winning is not good preaching–IT’S PRAYER.
The disciples that followed Jesus’ ministry and saw the results did not ask Him how to preach; they asked Him how to pray.
Time must be spent daily in the Word of God and in prayer. Jesus spent many hours doing this before he went to the people to minister. Each time, despite those that came against Him, He had great success. You, too, can have the same success.

LET US PRAY:
Dear Holy Spirit of God, help me to be a man of prayer, a man of God’s presence, and a man of the word. Teach me to pray life-changing, life-transforming prayers.
Empower me to be a faithful witness of the gospel of Jesus Christ to my generation. Help me to be a witness with great success in soul-winning.
In Jesus’ Name, I pray. Amen.
It’s time to arise and do the work of an evangelist.
