HOLY SPIRIT EVANGELISM!

 HOLY SPIRIT EVANGELISM!

BY DR. MERVYN ABREO

          Whenever we evangelize to someone, we are addressing his mind. However, we should always remember, that evangelism is never on the intellectual level alone. His spirit has essentially to be involved.  Many people fail to be effective evangelists because of this very reason.

 TRIPARTITE MAN IN A THREE DIMENSIONAL WORLD

 MAN IS MADE UP OF: A body, a soul and a spirit.

 The soul in turn is made up of: an intellect, a will and emotions.                                                      

          Sometimes, only the intellect or mind may be involved. For example, a person may make up his mind to change his religion for financial gain.

          This is only a superficial change. Because the real change or conversion takes place only in the spirit- and effective and life changing transformation can only be done under the power of the Holy Spirit.

          Or a person may change their religion because he or she may have fallen in love with a person of another religion. Here the decision is based mainly on emotions.                                                        

          Yet again, a change may be forced on someone because of religious persecution. Here the will overshadows the intellect and the emotions.
                                                     

ACTION/REACTION: When you give the Gospel message, one of two reactions have to take place:

          Conviction or condemnation, i.e. either the person accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior, and is saved.

          Or the message is outright rejected, and the person condemned for all eternity.

THERE IS NO THIRD POSSIBILITY:

 THE LORD SPEAKS “so is My word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it,” (Isaiah 55:11).

 HOLY SPIRIT GUIDED EVANGELISM:
                                                   

          This is the most effective and best type of evangelism.

          The Holy Spirit leads you to a particular person, puts the right words in your mouth, and literally does everything, except appear to that person and speak to him or her personally.

          For this type of evangelism, you need to spend prime time with the Lord. But the results are fantastic, and you truly become one with the Lord, and enter His core group, along with Moses and Elijah, and the three disciples, as it happened on the Mount of Transfiguration.

‘DEATH BED EVANGELISM’:                                                            

            Whenever you evangelize to someone, do so as though the person you are evangelizing to is going to drop dead the very next moment. This gives a depth and feeling to your words, and your sincerity and seriousness will greatly help.
