Welcome to my 2nd Blog-
"Soul Penetration" Soul Winning Simplified!
Read and Share, so we can shine all over this Earth!
People kind of poke fun at me and ask, "Are you really
sharing Christ with people everyday"?
My answer is, "Uh, yeah..."!
Everyday I ask God to reveal to me who needs some "Jesus
Loving" and how can I penetrate their soul with the good news of
the gospel! Why do I care so much? Well, because I was a lost soul
before I came to the knowledge of Christ, and subject to dying
without knowing the Love of God through Christ. It was a person led
by God to share Christ with me in the mist of my sexual sins, drug
abuse, drunkenness, and more. It was period point blank "Grace"
that saved my ratchet behind. I am so serious. This is not a game
y'all souls are lost and falling under the "death sentence"
daily, because they do not accept Christ. A lot of people do not want
to accept him, because of the way we carry on as "Christian's".
We seriously make Jesus look like a Joke. We are mean to each other,
we on purpose dwell in sin, we don't share Christ, and a HUGE reason
is that when we do share Christ we act is if certain people are more
or less qualified in deserving Christ.
I want to give an example, not just a biblical example, yet a Jesus
example. I love this example on penetrating the soul with spirit and how Jesus led this Woman to a Savior.
John 4:1-27
Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were), 3 He left Judea and went away again into Galilee. 4 And He had to pass through Sam-aria. 5 So He *came to a city of Sam-aria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph; 6 and Jacob’s well was there. So Jesus, being wearied from His journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was about [a]the sixth hour. There *came a woman of Sam-aria to draw water. Jesus *said to her, “Give Me a drink.” 8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. 9 Therefore the Samaritan woman *said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” 11 She *said to Him, “[b]Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; where then do You get that living water? 12 You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?” 13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

15 The woman *said to Him, “[c]Sir,
give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way
here to draw.” 16 He *said to her, “Go, call your husband and
come here.” 17 The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.”
Jesus *said to her, “You have correctly said, ‘I have no
husband’; 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you
now have is not your husband; this you have said truly.” 19 The
woman *said to Him, “[d]Sir,
I perceive that You are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped in this
mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place
where men ought to worship.” 21 Jesus *said to her, “Woman,
believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in
Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not
know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 But
an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship
the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to
be His worshipers. 24 God is [e]spirit,
and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” 25 The
woman *said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming (He who is
called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to
us.” 26 Jesus *said to her, “I who speak to you am He.”
27 At this point His disciples came, and they were amazed that He had
been speaking with a woman, yet no one said, “What do You seek?”
or, “Why do You speak with her?” 28 So the woman left her water
pot, and went into the city and *said to the men, 29 “Come, see a
man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not
[f]the
Christ, is it?” 30 They went out of the city, and were coming to
Him.
This is very simple breakdown. You see Jesus was a Jew. It was not
okay for Jews to be seen talking to a Samaritan and a Woman. Yet the Spirit
of God flowed through Jesus revealing to her a need for a Savior, because she was so deeply rooted in sexual immorality. Jesus was able to
penetrate her soul by defying Religion. He broke laws to talk to her
and administered Grace versus the Law. Not one scripture quoted
folks. Jesus was taking a risk in illegally communicating with a Samaritan and blessed her by sharing with her a revelation from God that she was "getting
around". The non-condemning compassion and mercy He ministered
penetrated her soul and caused her to become an instant Evangelist is
a matter of moments. Did you notice the disciples response when they
returned to Jesus? They were in shock that Jesus was talking to the
likes of her, for they would not have been caught dead or alive
talking to a Samaritan. Is that you? Do you pick and choose which
ones that are among you are more or less qualified for a Savior?
Jesus shared the Love of God with a woman totally out of His league.
How did He accomplish this? Through the Spirit of God. How did He
know she had many "husbands" better stated "sex
partners"? Did Jesus have a crystal ball? Of Course NOT! Did
Jesus hear a rumor from Peter or Mark that everyone was tapping that
behind? Of Course NOT! He heard from the Father.
So let's make "Soul Penetration" simple!! 5 easy Steps
- FLOW IN THE SPIRIT- When you are in the Spirit the fear and axiety of sharing Christ is GONE, because you are ministering out of LOVE and not out of HUMAN EFFORT. Make Sure you are in constant fellowship with God through prayer and reading His unfailing word so when God reveals himself to you, you are able to quickly identify it's Him leading you and you are able to respond in the Spirit and in Truth in any situation. NEVER minister off of head knowledge. The word of God is nothing if not backed by the Spirit. You can quote a 1,000 scriptures, but without LOVE it is just noise. Open your mouth and let the Love flow from God's Spirit yield the word to them.
- DISPLAY LOVE IS COMPASSIONATE AND NON-BIAS-Displaying that the person is qualified no matter their background or sin (John 4:9-10) Jesus died for ALL SINS EQUALLY AND FORGIVES ALL SINS EQAULLY. So keep in mind to Jesus Everyone has a significant purpose!
- SHARE THE GIFT OF GOD'S GENEROUSITY- Share with them the Love of God found in Christ (John 4:10) and that Christ came for the World not the so called perfect (John 3:16).
- SHARE THAT JESUS SAVES-Identify that sin is present so that the need for a Savior is present revealed.
- UNDERSTAND YOUR MISSION IS TO CREATE AND REPRODUCE MESSENGERS-Share Christ in a manner where they understand they have a call on their life, and that's to go get others that were under the death sentence just like them and draw them to Christ (John 4:29-30)
Easily Applied "Soul Penetration"
(You may be led to say different things in different situations, yet this is just a basic format. You also may be led to lay hands on the person...mircales are a for sure Faith Booster and pentrates souls as well leading that person to a Savior...so keep your Spirit Eyes peeled!)
(You may be led to say different things in different situations, yet this is just a basic format. You also may be led to lay hands on the person...mircales are a for sure Faith Booster and pentrates souls as well leading that person to a Savior...so keep your Spirit Eyes peeled!)
1.) Simple Eye contact. Once we've made eye contact I find something truthful to
compliment them on. And introduce myself. I hug or shake their hand
telling them it's such a pleasure to meet them.I simply say, "You're AWESOME "!
WHATEVER their response I explain to them, "You really
are AWESOME, because Jesus said "You are to die 4".
2.) They always smile & I begin to share with them each person gets two missions presented to them in life. "Do you know what these missions are"? Wait for reply...
#A.) A mission from Satan: To dwell in the prison of sin &
INFECT other lives causing both you and them to live in fear, hurt,
and all around darkness.
#B.) You are also presented a mission from God who has freed you from
the prison of sin when you be in Christ, therefore, when you are one
with Christ...He gives you an abundant life causing you to shine and
IMPACT others so they can shine with you.
Do you know which mission you've chosen? IMPACT OR INFECT?
LIGHTS OFF OR SHINE ON? Did you know that people miss out on Heaven
because they spend their entire life believing it's all the good
deeds we do that gets us into Heaven, yet it's not about what we do
it's about what Jesus did. Our mistakes won't keep us out the gates.
It's our failure to believe and receive Christ when the message is
heard. My question to you is would you like to REJECT Or ACCEPT
Christ?
3.) When they say accept...I explain that Jesus died while we were
yet still sinners, when he died He died for our sins, when He rose on
the 3rd day He rose in His Father's Glory. So when you receive Christ
you die to your old sinful nature by confessing & believing Jesus
is Lord of your life, and then you will become born again to your God
nature to live a new life free from the prison of sin, led by the
Spirit, & in the Father's glory.
Allow me to pray with you, "Father God we thank you for
your RELENTLESS LOVE and we thank you for your goodness & mercy
in sending your son to die for our redemption & peace. I ask that
you keep (persons name) in a safe place until the call on (persons
name) has come to pass. Allow your Grace to consume all sin, allow
your loving Spirit to help (him/her) to accomplish the amazing call
you have laid before (him/her), and allow your mercy & goodness
to follow/proceed/& surround (him/her) always in Jesus name-Amen.
4.) Repeat after me..."Jesus, I want you to come into my life. I realize I was born a sinner, yet you died for my sins.
I give my sins to you in exchange for your forgiveness. Thank you for
dying a brutal death for my sins so I can be fully accepted by you.
Only you can give me the power to change and become the person God
created me to be. I give my life to you. So please allow your Holy
Spirit to have it's way with me-Amen".
To live this life there's 3 things.
A.) Find a bible based church in order to receive sound teaching
B.) Get to His Face book-which is put your face to His book by
reading the word of God everyday. I encourage to read only the red to
start with. The red is Jesus speaking & demonstrating the way He
lived, responded to trails, healed, and communed with the Father.
This is the man living on the inside of you!
C.) Talk to God. That's all...everyday what's up daddy? The Lord's
prayer is in Matthew 6. Pray it daily. Prayer is as simple as
communicating. He talks back. Just flow with him through obedience just like you do a GPS system you follow the directions and trust that you will end up at your destination.
5.) I end with... Share the mission "Shine and Impact" with others, so that they can do exactly what they received-Spirit of God. Remind them again, "God loves you & so do I and you're AWESOME"!
