Years ago I learned by a Gideon I met in church. Bill, is an 88-year-old man, preached the Bible in prison's for over 50 years, led many to Christ, and til this day is still my best friend, Spiritual Mentor (given by God), and my two-by-two in a Street Ministry, also God-given, and still "Going!" Thank you Lord Jesus for all of this, and your Blessing's! I will share with you how I learned.
Remember the ABC's! That's the way I do it, and this is exactly what I say. It's easy and you can do it too. The Holy Spirit is with you guiding you!
A - Admit - Get them to realize we are all sinners in need of a savior. I say, "You know we're all sinner's, right? We all lie, cheat, steal, etc. That is why God gave us the ten commandments, to show us we all fall short of the Glory of God."
B - Believe - "But if you Believe that God came in the flesh as man, Jesus, and He died on the cross for all of our sin's, past, present, and future, and if you truly Believe in Him, Trust Him in every situation, Repent of all your sin's to receive the Gift of Salvation, and Believe that God rose Him from the dead; He offer's you the Free Gift of Everlasting Life. Is that something you want, everlasting life with Our Father in Heaven?"
C - Confess - Then you have them confess out loud with a witness. Have them repeat this prayer with you only if they truly Believe, "Confessing to God that I am a sinner, and Believing that the Lord Jesus Christ died for my sin's on the cross and was raised for my justification, I do now receive and confess Him as my personal Saviour." If they receive Him, have them thank the Father for what He has just done, as well as you giving thanks for the divine appointment, and you being used to do His Will and Work. Thank Him for your new brother or sister in Christ, and pray for them. Remind them to go home and repent, and keep a relationship with Him.
And that is it! The Holy Spirit is with you, leading you, and giving you the Words, bringing those Words to your remembrance, if needed, ask Him. It is the Holy Spirit doing the work, not you. He's just using you as an empty vessel willing to be used. ANYONE who Believe's and wants, and asks to be used, will be Filled with the Holy Spirit and used for His good purpose.
Never be afraid. That's a tactic from the enemy to keep you from doing what he wants the very least. This is what God wants, and it is commanded to us to go out and do it. God is with you, so don't be afraid. The Words Will come. It's truly awe inspiring!!!
And, it is also God that is in control! So do not get discouraged if you don't win over your first, or everyone, that is all dependent on the person's will (what God they want to follow, and how attached to their sin's they are - the hardening of their heart's to God.) If that happens, you have still planted a seed in them that will hopefully grow. God will give the increase in His own timing. Walk away praying for them. You have done your job!
Go out in Faith, Believing, Asking God to Guide you to who He wants you to speak to. Trust Him! The hardest part of all of this is your opening line in conversation. You can ask for that too! You can ask your Father in Heaven for anything!!!
Pray to the Father, in the Name of Jesus, and by the Power of the Holy Spirit to be Spirit Led and for Anything else.
May God fill you all in abundance and in overflow with the Holy Spirit and the anointing to help you win over the Lost with a Holy Boldness! God goes before you and behind you, and loves you with an Everlasting Love! Walk with Him.
Go and Be Love, with all my love, Donna
