The Role of Faith in Soul Winning

Traveling evangelists say that everywhere they go people will say to them, “This area is the hardest area to evangelize.”

 The size of your vision for the lost will reflect the size of your faith.  If you see yourself as a soulwinner winning hundreds and hundreds to the Lord, that vision will reflect the greatness of your faith. On the other hand, if your vision is limited to winning one soul in your lifetime, you’ve dwarfed the Body of Christ and your faith will be dwarfed as well. 

 We need to use our faith to get souls like we use our faith for everything else. We need to use our faith to win souls, just as for the healing of body’s or prospering of finances.  Mark 11:23-24 is one of the greatest keys to praying for the harvest.  On judgment day, you don’t want God to say, “You used your faith for a new car, but why didn’t you use it for souls?”

 Faith is required so you will believe God can save the person to whom you are witnessing. We live by faith and not by sight.  It may not look like a person wants to be saved, but being full of the Holy Spirit will  enable to see beyond outward appearances.

God can change a person’s life in a moment of time—look at the Apostle Paul.  Being filled with the Holy Spirit will also fill you with the confidence to believe that God can save anyone through you and that God can use your talents and abilities.

 It’s not possible to focus on yourself and stay in strong faith.  Unbelief and fear are need conscious and self-conscious, but faith is God-conscious.

 Sinners have a tendency to respond the exact same way you come across.  If you witness with uneasiness, they’ll respond in alike manner.  If you think you’re going to turn them off, you probably will. When you witness with unbelief and nervousness the sinner will scarcely believe what you are telling them.  Sinners ponder, “If it is really that good, then why aren’t you more excited about it?”

  You will always get exactly what you believe for. Jesus said, "According to your faith be it unto you "(Matt. 9:29).

 You can’t walk by feelings and be a successful soul winner, for it you are walking by feelings, then your flesh, not your spirit is dominating you.  Feelings are the voice of your flesh! 

And you can’t walk by reason and be a successful soul winner either, because reason is the voice of your mind. 

To be a successful soul winner you must walk by faith, because faith is of the spirit.  Walking by faith is listening to the Greater One on the inside of you and walking in line with the Word of God.

You need to be so convinced that God will save the person you are witnessing to, or praying for, that you would be shocked if they didn’t get saved.
