Introduction By Evangelist Rev. David Hupp, HIS Print Media Ministries In the Message Bible, the Apostle Paul writes, regarding Gods desire and his evangelism efforts: I Timothy 2:4-7; Titus 2:11 He wants not only us but everyone saved, you know, everyone to get to know the truth weve learned: that theres one God and only one, and one Priest-Mediator between God and usJesus, who offered himself in exchange for everyone held captive by sin, to set them all free. Eventually the news is going to get out. This and this only has been my appointed work: getting this news to those who have never heard of God, and explaining how it works by simple faith and plain truth. Gods readiness to give and forgive is now public. Salvations available for everyone! This last verse reads, in the Living Bible: For the free gift of eternal salvation is now being offered to everyone... The New Living Translation adds (Titus 3:4-7): ButWhen God our Savior revealed His kindness and love, He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit. He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. Because of His grace He declared us righteous and gave us condence that we will inherit eternal life. Jesus Christ Himself gave his followers a great commission to take the good news of the free gift of eternal life through personal faith and trust in Him, to all the inhabited earth (Matthew 28:18,19): Jesus came and told His disciples, I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Matt. 28:19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 1
Today, Christianity is one of the worlds largest religions, 19,000 new believers are being added to the church each day, in spite of severe persecution. However, 23,000 babies are being born each day, and Islam (probably due to their higher number of children per family), is the fastest growing religion. In the mid 1990s, Islam was the second largest and fastest growing religion in America! What we can learn from this is, relying primarily on big Evangelists or big ministries to get the job done, is not the most effective method. Each individual Christian needs to be winning souls. In 1974, in a class at Miracle Valley Bible College, I learned that if each of the fty students in that classroom were to win one soul per year, and train that new convert to win a new soul each succeeding year, in less than fty years the whole world would be won to Christ. This kind of exponential growth can be categorized by the scientic principle of Synergism. Websters Dictionary denes this word as follows: interaction of discrete agencies (as industrial rms), agents (as drugs), or conditions such that the total effect is greater than the sum of the individual effects. A simple story illustrates this. A wise man of the Orient did a favor for the Emperor. When asked how he could be repaid, he requested for a grain of rice to be placed on the corner square of a chess board, and the amount of rice placed on each succeeding square to be doubled. The amount of rice to be placed on the last square of the game board would be astronomical or far more than one would imagine. I like the saying, Each one win one, then all will be won! Larry Beckmanns anointed soul winning plan provides us the tools and method to accomplish this.

The Plan
NOTE: This is not a tract. This is a tool for soul-winners. Only read what is printed in red to the people with whom you witness. The rst two times you read this, read it exactly as written. Do not let Satan trick you into believing youll look foolish reading this. Because of the anointing on this plan, the person you are witnessing to will listen! Pardon me, may I ask you a question? Im a Christian and Im taking a survey; can you listen for about three minutes? You believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Is that true? Nine in ten Americans believe this much. This will vary from country to country. If the person does not believe this, END the survey. Then SOW SOME SEED to help him/her come to Christ at a FUTURE time. Dont stop reading in the MIDDLE of these next two questions read them through to the end. Have you ever met Christ personally, where He has come into your heart as Savior? Youve never met Christ personally, have you? NEVER ask: Are you a Christian? NEVER ask: Are you saved? Why? Because almost EVERYBODY says Yes to either of these two questions. And once they say Yes you cant win them to Christ. The previous two questions lead them into a No answer. However, if they are saved, these questions are written in such a way that you will be able to read to them and see if they are saved. I advise you to MEMORIZE this next statementand then use it for the rest of your life as you witness. Its simple to get Jesus into your heart. 5
The rst thing to realize is that Christ LOVES you. When He hung on the cross He died for YOU. He died in your place. John 3:16 NLT (Read it or say it to them . . . best to let them look at it in the Bible with you.) For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. Do you know why He died for you on that cross? So you wouldnt have to go to HELL and burn forever. Look at my nger . . . how many sins does it take to put you into Hell, according to the Bible? (Hold up one nger.) Just ONE. James 2:10 teaches that. Everybody has sinned. Youve sinned. (Read or say Romans 3:23 to them - best to let them look at it in the Bible with you.) For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of Gods glorious standard. NLT Which means, if you died tonight in a car wreck without Christ, you would be in Hell. And thats the reason I stopped you. Because it is very easy to protect you from Hell. Of course, I cant protect you from Hell, but God can. If youre a good person, will you go to Heaven? No! Ephesians 2:8 says that being good doesnt even help. (Read it or say it to them . . . best to let them look at it in the Bible with you.) Eph 2:8 NLT God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you cant take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Church, baptism, believingnone of these [good works] can save you. 6
The devil BELIEVES that Jesus is God, and the devil is NOT going to Heaven. Believing is only the rst step. HERES THE ANSWER!! To get to Heaven you must let Jesus come into your heart. Revelation 3:20 NLT (Read it or say it to them . . . best to let them look at it in the Bible with you.) In Revelation 3:20 Jesus says, Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear My voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. Be honest, do you WANT to let Jesus come into your heart? Because you LOVE Him, right? And you dont want to go to Hell. And you need Him. In order to be saved from Hell, you must REPENT! That is, TURN from wanting Christ only partially . . . to wanting Him 100%. Are you willing to turn from your sins? Do you want Jesus to come into your heart as a FRIEND? Now, Im going to make it real hard for you. Do you want Jesus as a friend with ALL your heart? Dont pray with them unless they are 100% sure. If you mean this prayer, you wont have to go to Hell. Just repeat [this prayer] after me. Jesus, I believe You are here. (PAUSE) Im sorry for my sins. (PAUSE) And you promised to save me from Hell if I would ask you into my heart. (PAUSE) So I ask you, Jesus . . . please come into my heart right now. He heard your prayer . . . He is in your heart NOW! Did you really mean that prayer? So . . . where is Jesus living right now? In your heart! Do you have to ask Jesus into your heart every day to go 7
to Heaven, or just once? Just once. Once does it. You pray every day. You pray hundreds of times. You confess your sins every day. But you only let Jesus come into your heart once. Now . . . lets do a little review. Are you saved? Yes! You just got saved. Dont base your salvation on FEELINGS. Most people dont feel anything when they get saved. Base it on what the Bible says. Does the Bible say youre saved? More than 100 verses say you are saved. For example, John 1:12 says you are saved, and Revelation 3:20 says you are saved. More than 100 verses assure you. If you have time to read these two example verses, here they are from the Living Bible: John 1:12 - But all who received him, he gave the right to become children of God. All they needed to do was to trust him to save them. Revelation 3:20 - Look! I have been standing at the door and I am constantly knocking. If anyone hears me calling him and opens the door, I will come in and fellowship with him and he with me. (Question) And what did you do that saved you? (Answer) You let Jesus come into your heart. Write down ve scripture references on a piece of paper for them to read later (or, you can have them preprinted). These verses are helpful to give them added assurance of their salvation when doubt comes. These are the scriptures to write down: John 1:12 Revelation 3:20 Ephesians 2:8-10 8 Romans 10:9,10 & 13. 1 John 5:12
There are four things God wants you to DO now that you are saved. #1. Find a Church home. (Recommend a good power church to them). #2. Read the Holy Bible every day. Dont start in the front of the Bible, because Jesus wasnt born yet. The rst book, Genesis, was 4,000 years before Jesus was born. Begin by reading MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, and JOHN. These four books quote Jesus words hundreds of times, and show what the Holy Spirit did through Him. Then read the Book of Acts to see exciting things the Holy Spirit does through Christians. #3. Pray. Talk to Jesus many times each day . . . whenever you want. Hes your BEST FRIEND. #4. Tell others about Jesus. Try to tell several people today and tomorrow that you let Jesus come into your heart. Not only will this challenge others to get saved, but it will STRENGTHEN YOU greatly. Write down the persons name, address, E-mail address (if any), and telephone number so either you or a church can FOLLOW UP with them.
