The first thing we must show to people
while evangelising is the Father's heart
of God
People have heard the hell fire preaching, often preached
without love or mercy for many a year but they need to know
about the God who wants to heal their whole person making
them whole and not wanting them to go to that lost eternity in
hell. Folks need to know the Father's heart of God they need to
know that he cares, wants to heal them is interested in their
needs at the present moment, and he wants to give them life in
all it's fullness. We need to introduce folk out there to our God,
some have heard so much about the law and are stuck in
traditions of fear, but they don't know Jesus. IT'S TIME FOR
US TO INTRODUCE THEM TO OUR BEST FRIEND. We
preach repentance but firstly we want people to know that God
loves them. True conversion means a change of direction, a
heart being changed, for we are called to go and make disciples,
to have people turn their lives over to Jesus.
It is the Holy Spirit who convicts, show the people out there
that you really care.
To reach the world with the gospel it requires that we see all
people as God sees them as people whom He loves first and
foremost and longs for them to come into relationship with Him
- John 3:16— But also recognizing their need as a desperate one
for all who do not know Jesus are sinners in need of a Saviour.
1) by nature
Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
3) by practice.
Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is
eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
SALVATION:
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish
but have everlasting life.
The fact is God so loved the WORLD so much He sent His one
and only Son to die for us. The desire of God's heart is for none
to perish.
2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some
count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that
any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
The world here includes all mankind. God does not love men’s
sins, but He loves people and is not willing that any should
perish.
God in His love gave His only begotten Son. God has no other
Son like the Lord Jesus, His son who had been with Him from
the beginning (John1:1, 14). It was an expression of His infinite
love that He would be willing to give His one and only Son for
sinners such as us. This does not mean that everyone is saved. A
person must receive what Christ has done for him before God
will give him eternal life. Therefore, the words are added, “that
whoever believes in Him should not perish.” There is no need
for anyone to perish. A way has been provided by which all
might be saved, but a person must acknowledge the Lord Jesus
Christ as personal Saviour. When he does this, he has eternal life
as a present possession. We must be born again.
Boreham says:
"When the church comes to understand the love with which God
loved the world, she will be restless and ill at ease, until all the
great empires have been captured, until every coral island has
been won."
Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and
that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Eph 2:9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
The sinless spotless Son of the living God died for us. It is
through His sacrifice for us, through the shedding of His blood
on the cross of Calvary that we have been reconciled to God.
Joh 16:8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of
sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Luk 13:3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all
likewise perish.
Act 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of
you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All
authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Mat 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of
the Holy Spirit,
Mat 28:20 teaching them to observe all things that I have
commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end
of the age." Amen.
Joh 17:2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He
should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him.

------------------
Mar 16:15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and
preach the gospel to every creature.
Mar 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he
who does not believe will be condemned.
Mar 16:17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My
name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new
tongues;
Mar 16:18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything
deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the
sick, and they will recover."
Mar 16:19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was
received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.
Mar 16:20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the
Lord working with them and confirming the word through the
accompanying signs. Amen.
Luk 24:44 Then He said to them, "These are the words which I
spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be
fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the
Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me."
Luk 24:45 And He opened their understanding, that they might
comprehend the Scriptures.
Luk 24:46 Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it
was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead
the third day,
Luk 24:47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be
preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Luk 24:48 And you are witnesses of these things.
Luk 24:49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you;
but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with
power from on high."
Act 4:11 This is the "stone which was rejected by you builders,
which has become the chief cornerstone.”
But you shall receive power: This does not refer only to personal
power for godly living, as demonstrated in the lives of Old
Testament saints. This was power, to take the full gospel, the
message of the Kingdom to the ends of the earth.
1Pe 2:12 Live such good lives among the pagans that, though
they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds
and glorify God on the day he visits us. (NIV)
Col 1:27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches
of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ
in you, the hope of glory.
1Co 6:19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of
the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and
you are not your own?
Act 5:12 And through the hands of the apostles many signs and
wonders were done among the people. And they were all with
one accord in Solomon's Porch.
Act 5:13 Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people
esteemed them highly.
Act 5:14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord,
multitudes of both men and women,
Act 5:15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and
laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter
passing by might fall on some of them.
Act 5:16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities
to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were
tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
Remember we are to be salt and light.
Mat 5:14 "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot
be hidden.
Mat 5:15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in
the house.
Mat 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that
they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
(NIV)
Gal 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this:
"You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
As I said above use your testimony- 1Pe 3:15 But sanctify the
Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense
to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you,
with meekness and fear;
Look out for the downcast and lowly person and invite them to
church -
Luk 14:23 Then the master said to the servant, "Go out into the
highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my
house may be filled.
Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let
him who hears say, "Come!" And let him who thirsts come.
Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.
Rom 10:13 For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall
be saved."
PERSUASION EVANGELISM.
1Pe 3:15 But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be
prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the
reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness
and respect, (NIV)
PRAYER EVANGELISM.
Fear God
Faith empowers us
KEY 3
We are to set the rules of engagement, not them. He will not do
something through us when darkness sets the rules. God does
not respond to powers of darkness setting rules.
KEY 4 When we walk in His ways God will move heaven and
earth on our behalf.
Heb 12:14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without
which no one will see the Lord:
Heb 2:1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the
things we have heard, lest we drift away.
Heb 2:2 For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast,
and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,
Heb 2:3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation,
which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was
confirmed to us by those who heard Him,
Heb 2:4 God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders,
with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to
His own will?
So, why is it that much of the church are ignoring the gifts of the
Spirit today?
Here are just some of my thoughts on this. I didn't intend this to
diverge into a discussion on Spiritual gifts and their applicability
for us today but I don't think we can look at this subject without
looking at this.
The apostle Paul calls him the “god of this world”:
Our Lord Jesus, as the “Son of Man” ultimately fulfils this task,
but it is the task of man, not of Satan. Furthermore, the ultimate
rule of the earth is God’s:
For the kingdom is the LORD’s, And He rules over the nations
(Ps. 22:28).
The LORD has established His throne in the heavens; And His
sovereignty rules over all (Ps. 103:19).
“Thou art the God, Thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth”
(Isa. 37:16).
Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly
places in Christ,
1Co 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want
you to be ignorant:
The same Greek word for spiritual is used in both the above
verses. Now follow my line of thought who is blessed with
every spiritual blessing?
Yep, we are. Notice the tense we are blessed with those spiritual
blessings in the heavenly places now. Surely that includes the
spiritual gifts in the chapter here mentioned in Corinthians.
Col 2:6 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so
walk in Him,
Col 2:7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith,
as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
Col 2:8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and
empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the
basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.
Col 2:9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead
bodily;
Col 2:10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all
principality and power.
Don't let the traditions of the world get in the way, look at your
position in Christ, you are complete in Him. Christ lives in you
and you have the fullness of the Godhead living in you. Take
hold of who you are in Christ. Walk in Him. Live that abundant
Christian life. We are supposed to be victorious, a people of
power, for Christ is in us. We have the Holy Spirit. We are made
to be the praise of His glory.
