\n

S<\/span>oul winning is not technical; it is supernatural. If you treat it like a debate, you will return home with sweat and no fruit. It is a rescue mission: when a man is drowning, you don\u2019t negotiate with the water, you pull him out. The Scripture is clear: \u201cthe god of this world\u201d blinds the minds of them which believe not (2 Corinthians 4:4 KJV). So you are not only persuading a man; you are contending with a blindfold over his understanding. That is why some people can nod, smile, even agree with you: and still walk away unchanged. It is not always stubbornness; sometimes it is darkness sitting on the mind. You don\u2019t remove darkness with grammar; you remove it with light. Carry the gospel as power, not as opinion, and refuse to be ashamed when it is time to speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus settled it: \u201cYe shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses.\u201d You need to personally enter partnership with the Holy Spirit if you will be effective. He knows the right person at the right time, and He knows the right word for that heart. As much as salvation is a work of grace, nobody can be saved without the incorruptible seed of God\u2019s Word entering the heart, so don\u2019t replace the gospel with stories. Soul winning must not be restricted to once a week in corporate evangelism; it must be your lifestyle; be ever ready, anytime, to anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Commit yourself to be ever ready for the Holy Spirit to use the gospel in your mouth to save a soul.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So before you speak to men, speak to God. Bring the person before the Lord in the place of prayer. The devil is the blind folder, so bind the devil and insist that the light of the gospel shines in. Stand in the gap: one person is enough to pray through: and you will be shocked how the powers of darkness begin to give way. Ask God to send \u201chis own Andrew\u201d to him: someone he will listen to and ask for divine encounters that bring conviction and change the heart (John 1:41-42 KJV). Then go, speak Christ simply, and follow up until they are established. Don\u2019t be selfish; they too matter. Hold them in your heart and keep praying until something happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THOUGHT TO PONDER:<\/strong> Am I trying to win souls with talk, not power? Will I pray first and rely on the Holy Ghost today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n

PRI\u00c8RE:<\/strong> Holy Spirit, empower my witness. Break blindness, convict hearts, and use my words to bring souls to Jesus today. Amen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\t\t
