Witnessing and Winning

Introduction: Are you a soul winner? D.L. Moody used to say there are two kinds of CHRISTians: Soulwinners & Backsliders. The question is which one is me and which one you?
 

1. Winning the lost takes PRAYER! (Acts 4:31)

“31And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.”

Prayer comes first. Then power follows prayer.
 

2.Winning the lost takes Power! (Acts 1:8)

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

The Holy Spirit is our power source. He convicts and converts.
 

3. Winning the lost takes PURPOSE! (Luke 19:10; 2Cor 5:14-20)

“And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.”

We represent our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.
 

4. Winning the lost will entail PRIZES! (1Thess 2:19)

“For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? 20For ye are our glory and joy.”

The soulwinners crown waits for those who lead others to Jesus. The harvest fields are white ready to be picked.
 
Conclusion: What a privilege to share Jesus! Will you share Him everywhere you go. May we point others to Him with our lips and life! He will be glorified! Saints will be multiplied!!
