Transcript
- 0:01SPEAKER_00: Welcome to One Gospel, bringing you the full truth of God's Word, clearly explained.
- 0:07SPEAKER_00: Together with our host, Johann Tuit, we'll unpack scripture to understand what's written and grow as a disciple of Christ.
- 0:15SPEAKER_00: Ready to take notes?
- 0:16SPEAKER_00: Let's open the Bible.
- 0:20SPEAKER_01: Hi there and welcome to today's episode of One Gospel.
- 0:23SPEAKER_01: I'm your host, Joan Tut, and as always, I am very excited to share the word of God with you.
- 0:29SPEAKER_01: Today we're on the last episode of the series that I started called Effective Evangelism.
- 0:36SPEAKER_01: And man, I've shared a lot on it.
- 0:38SPEAKER_01: Now, before I'm gonna recap a few things and just continue in this series, I just want to remind you again on the study guides that I had.
- 0:46SPEAKER_01: It's one basics one and one basics two.
- 0:51SPEAKER_01: There are 64 studies, basic studies, that will really help you to disciple other people.
- 1:01SPEAKER_01: It will help you to lay a foundation for them, to for them to build their own personal relationship with the Lord, and you know, just to let them understand what their identity and authority is in Christ Jesus, the I am.
- 1:14SPEAKER_01: And so, but it also is very good for yourself, it really will help you to see things in a different perspective and to get more insight and more revelation on who you are in Christ Jesus and what you now are able to do in Christ Jesus.
- 1:31SPEAKER_01: And so I have written these uh two study guides, and um the first one, the sequence, was inspired by um discipleship evangelism from Andrew Womek.
- 1:44SPEAKER_01: Um and then um, you know, I really felt I needed to make these basic studies that there are no personal testimonies in it.
- 1:52SPEAKER_01: There are no, you know, it's not in the me person written, but it's it's a framework where you can use these tools and to fill them in with your own personal experience and your own personal testimony, you know, when you share this, and there's a lot a lot of good instructions on how you can teach those people those kind of things, and then also uh, you know, you can listen to this on podcast.
- 2:19SPEAKER_01: We have podcasts also in the link below where you can listen to this one basic studies, and I'm also uh have recorded them on the one gospel broadcast, but then I'm sharing them with my own personal testimony, and I make it a little bit more broad, then that it's this is more compact, and then I will share it a little bit more broad because of my personal uh testimony concerning that.
- 2:45SPEAKER_01: But I really want to encourage you, you can get it for free.
- 2:47SPEAKER_01: You can download it for free, you can download it as an e-hub or PDF, but you can also order the physical copies, and they're really beautiful, heavy, strong, beautiful study guides.
- 2:58SPEAKER_01: It's all with excellence, you know.
- 3:00SPEAKER_01: And um, and so you can order multiple copies, of course.
- 3:04SPEAKER_01: So you can start little study groups, you know, you can use this, you know, in so many ways, um, and um, they are completely free.
- 3:14SPEAKER_01: Um, that means that we were able to make these kind of things, you know, thanks to our partners and people that donate to our ministry.
- 3:22SPEAKER_01: And if you are not a partner yet and you want to donate or you want to become partner with us to win souls for the kingdom of God, the way that I've been sharing with you in this series, Effective Evangelism, you can partner with us for our festivals and partner with us, you know, for all the disciple materials and everything that we do, just become partner with us, and we will use all of that, you know, to expand the kingdom of God in the way that God has given us, and you will become a partaker of that, and you will bear in the same fruits, and you will also store up treasures for yourself in heaven if you become partner with our ministry, amen.
- 3:55SPEAKER_01: And so we really need partners, but um, I'm telling you, man, get this.

- 4:12SPEAKER_01: If you have any questions on that, or if you have any remarks, please contact me in the link below, and I really love to connect with you and uh answer all your questions as far as I can, amen.
- 4:23SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
- 4:24SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Father God, for this teaching, and I just pray that your anointing and your blessing will upon will be upon it in the name of Jesus, so people can receive it and that it will be transformed by it.
- 4:34SPEAKER_01: I give you all the praise in Jesus' mighty name, amen.
- 4:38SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 4:39SPEAKER_01: And so, just to to resume and to go back a little bit to what I've been sharing, because man, it really has been a lot and it really has been very powerful and very amazing.
- 4:52SPEAKER_01: But I've started to share on the need for soul winning because it's so important that people understand that that is the reason why Jesus came, that no one would perish, but that everyone should come to repentance.
- 5:06SPEAKER_01: Now, this repentance that Jesus is talking about is not about you, you know, just confessing all the sins that you ever committed in your life.
- 5:15SPEAKER_01: You know, I always made a joke, you know, that in the old covenant, you know, when they did it, they needed to bring a sin offering, they needed to slaughter whether it was a lamb or a pigeon, you know, or a ram or an ox or whatever, you know, they needed to slaughter these animals and then offer that blood, and so they will be they will be covered, their sins will be covered, you know, with the blood of the animals, and then they send it out the animal, you know, with the sins.
- 5:44SPEAKER_01: You needed to lay your hands on the animal, and then you know, your your sins were covered, you know, for a moment by the blood of the animal, and then the animal then would take your sin and go out.
- 5:55SPEAKER_01: Well, it could never take away your sin nature because you could not become born again.
- 6:00SPEAKER_01: Your sin nature could not have been paid, you know, for with the innocent blood of a man because there was nobody with innocent blood.
- 6:06SPEAKER_01: All men have sinned and come short of the glory of God, you know, and Jesus didn't came yet.
- 6:10SPEAKER_01: So this was a shadow of what would happen, you know, when the true Lamb of God would be slaughtered, you know, and then his blood will buy us all, set us all free, you know, ransomed us all, you know, from this sin nature for once and for all, cleansed for once and for all.
- 6:28SPEAKER_01: But I always made the joke that if I would live in that time, you know, with the things that I did in my life, this the mistakes, the sins that I was committing in my life, that crime life that I was living, man, I would need like you know, this chicken battery farm, you know, where you should have like I would kill constantly, man, these chickens or animals, you know, because I would go bring in the animal, take the blood, cover myself, walk out, you know, and just look at some beautiful girl from the Philistines, you know, and I'm just going to go back in, slaughter again, then go out and think something, do something, say something, act something.
- 7:04SPEAKER_01: You know, I'm constantly being living in sin the way that I did, man.
- 7:08SPEAKER_01: I should be slaughtering animals the rest of my life.
- 7:11SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 7:12SPEAKER_01: And I say that in a laughing way because thank God that the blood of Jesus, just one drop of the blood of Jesus, wiped away all my sins.
- 7:22SPEAKER_01: You know, even if my sins were like scarlet, he washed them whiter than the snow.
- 7:26SPEAKER_01: He didn't wait to the uttermost parts of the earth and he doesn't remember them anymore.
- 7:30SPEAKER_01: The handwriting that was testifying against me has been nailed at the cross.
- 7:35SPEAKER_01: My sin nature has been blooded out, and all my sins have been forgiven by the blood and the grace of my Lord Jesus Christ.
- 7:42SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 7:42SPEAKER_01: Hallelujah.
- 7:43SPEAKER_01: And so I don't need that.
- 7:45SPEAKER_01: So re-repentance is not for me to confess all my sins to God.
- 7:49SPEAKER_01: You know, repentance means metanue, it means to change your mind, to think different, to start to adapt the thinking of the kingdom of God and to renounce the thinking that is conformed, conforming this world.
- 8:02SPEAKER_01: And so Jesus wants us to start to think different.
- 8:05SPEAKER_01: Jesus wants us to start to believe him and his message instead of what the world is doing and saying.
- 8:12SPEAKER_01: Just quickly go to Ephesians.
- 8:14SPEAKER_01: I'm going a little bit out of my direction, but bear with me for a moment here.
- 8:19SPEAKER_01: Here in Ephesians 2 it says, and he and you, he, talking about the Holy Spirit, made alive, who and then in some translations says with Christ, he made you alive with Christ.
- 8:32SPEAKER_01: He, the Holy Spirit, made you alive with Christ, who were dead in trespasses and sins.
- 8:37SPEAKER_01: Ephesians 2 verse 1.
- 8:38SPEAKER_01: In which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among also we all, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lust of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
- 9:04SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, um we walked according to the course of this world, and we thought the way that was given to us by birth and been encouraged to us by our forefathers is this this um you know this this vanity thinking, this this, you know, the vanity of our minds is just in the emptiness of our minds, you know, this fallen nature thinking, you know, of this world, this stinking thinking.
- 9:30SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, we walked in that, and repenting means we turn away from that.
- 9:36SPEAKER_01: We don't think like that anymore.
- 9:38SPEAKER_01: We act we adapt and accept this other way of thinking, which says that I need a savior, I need deliverance, and I need to get out of this system of sin and slavery.
- 9:49SPEAKER_01: I need to get out of this sin nature, and I can only do that by turning away from it, renouncing it, you know, and just repenting from it, turn away and to adapt that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
- 10:03SPEAKER_01: Accept that with me in my heart, believe it in my heart, and then confess that with my mouth, that I need a savior, and that I believe that Jesus is that savior, that I believe that he is the way, the truth, and the life, that he died for me, that he died for my sins, that he paid for all my sins, that he poured out his blood as a sacrifice on the altar of the living God, that he called out at the cross it is finished, that he went into the death and the grave and rose again on the third day, that I believed that with all my heart, and I need him as my Lord and Savior.
- 10:35SPEAKER_01: And then when I believed it in my heart and confess it with my mouth, then I will be saved.
- 10:40SPEAKER_01: That is what repentance means to turn away from the old and turn to the new, to turn to Jesus.
- 10:46SPEAKER_01: And when you do that, you know, you become everything that Jesus was because he became everything that you were.
- 10:52SPEAKER_01: He took on the form of a bondservant, a slave, he became like man, he suffered our sickness, he suffered our weaknesses, he suffered our sins.
- 11:01SPEAKER_01: God turned away from him for a moment from him.
- 11:04SPEAKER_01: He called out, Eli, Eli, Walilema Sabachtadi, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
- 11:11SPEAKER_01: He became everything that we were so that we could become what he is.
- 11:16SPEAKER_01: You know, and that is the good news of the gospel of the kingdom.
- 11:19SPEAKER_01: And so God doesn't want anyone to repentance, but uh to anyone to perish, but everyone to repent and come to repentance, meaning to start to understand and to see and to believe that they need salvation and that this salvation is found in Christ Jesus and nowhere else.
- 11:36SPEAKER_01: And so there is a need for soul winning.
- 11:39SPEAKER_01: John 3.16 says that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
- 11:48SPEAKER_01: God loved the world so much that he gave his son.
- 11:51SPEAKER_01: And now all who believe in him will not perish but have everlasting life.
- 11:55SPEAKER_01: How will they believe in him if nobody is preaching to them, if nobody is sharing the gospel of the kingdom with them?
- 12:02SPEAKER_01: How will they believe?
- 12:04SPEAKER_01: Because there is a need for soul winning, because God sees that they are all weary and scattered like sheep having no shepherd.
- 12:11SPEAKER_01: That's why Jesus was praying, send more laborers into your harvest, because the harvest is truly plentiful, but the laborers are few.
- 12:18SPEAKER_01: Go into all the world and preach the gospel of the kingdom.
- 12:22SPEAKER_01: You know, go and be a witness to all the nations, testify.
- 12:26SPEAKER_01: You know why?
- 12:27SPEAKER_01: Because he doesn't want anyone to perish, but Allah should come to repentance.
- 12:30SPEAKER_01: And so I've been covering that, I mean, to the extent.
- 12:33SPEAKER_01: And then I also have been sharing on my personal testimony how God called me as an evangelist from the very first moment that I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior while I was in my prison cell.
- 12:44SPEAKER_01: I saw this vision of a multitude of people, you know, that I was teaching and talking, uh preaching to the about the love of God, this unbelievable God love of all loves, you know.
- 12:56SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, and I started to, you know, walk out that calling, and it was a process where I made mistakes and I took long turns, you know, and I saw what worked and what didn't work, you know, and I more and more started to realize what really would be effective to reach those people that need to be reached.
- 13:14SPEAKER_01: And so God gave me this concept that I'm applying through my festival the Vida events that are cultural events that I keep all over the world, and I'm reaching the unreached, you know, by the tens of thousands all of the time, and it's really truly powerful.
- 13:27SPEAKER_01: And I apply that same system with gospel trucks that we have driving all over the world.
- 13:33SPEAKER_01: Um, they go out in the same concept, but then in smaller settings, and they are like every day every day, like three, four days a week.
- 13:43SPEAKER_01: You know, they go out, some they go two days, some they go three days, some go four or five days, but they go out every week multiple times to preach the gospel in the way that God has given me this concept.
- 13:54SPEAKER_01: And when they preach the gospel of the kingdom, they see hundreds every week come to the Lord, and so we are multiplying by the thousands every month through these uh trucks, you know, and so God gave me this concept, but it also works one-on-one.
- 14:06SPEAKER_01: I've taught on how we can be a blessing for others and we can meet their needs, whatever it is.
- 14:12SPEAKER_01: It could be a hug, a smile, a word of knowledge, but it also could be a food parcel, a sandwich, a blanket, you know, some grocery, whatever.
- 14:19SPEAKER_01: You know, maybe you wash their car, mown their lawn, you know, whatever it is, just to get their attention.
- 14:25SPEAKER_01: And once you get connected and you get their attention, you can be the light in the wilt and the soul of the earth, and you can preach the gospel to them in all the ways that God gives to you to preach the to them, as long as it is the truth, because they shall know the truth, and then the truth will set you free.
- 14:39SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 14:40SPEAKER_01: And so then I shared on preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and I shared on what that gospel exactly is.
- 14:48SPEAKER_01: And man, I'm telling you, um, you know, there is a lot being preached in this world.
- 14:54SPEAKER_01: There is a lot being preached, but not the gospel of the kingdom.
- 14:58SPEAKER_01: They have preached hell, condemnation, guilt, and shame and judgment, punishment.
- 15:05SPEAKER_01: They have preached fear, you know.
- 15:08SPEAKER_01: I mean, I have seen, you know, um the film about Martin Luther, you know, in those times with the Catholic Church, how they needed to buy these things so that their men just, you know, that they needed to buy something.
- 15:27SPEAKER_01: I don't know how to say it in English, and when they bought that, or when they would give money, then their family members that were in perjury, that were in hell, you know, that they wouldn't like being like uh, you know, in constant flames of hell, but they will only be licked by the flames of hell if you would pay, if you would give money and go and buy these leaves or whatever the call their name is, you know, and they these people, you know, they were suffering so much, there was so much fear of hell, there was so much fear of condemnation and guilt.
- 16:01SPEAKER_01: People were so afraid of dying, they were so afraid of God, they were so fearful, there was constantly condemnation, constant shame, constant guilt, turn or burn.
- 16:14SPEAKER_01: You know, I mean they obligated people to turn and to baptize them and do all this kind of stuff, you know, but all like forcefully, not willingly, you know, out of fear and condemnation.
- 16:28SPEAKER_01: And so all those people they out of fear took those.
- 16:31SPEAKER_01: This is not the gospel of the kingdom.
- 16:33SPEAKER_01: Those people were not saved because they were repenting in their hearts, they turned away from their old lives and accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior because they saw the need of salvation.
- 16:42SPEAKER_01: They repented because they were afraid.
- 16:45SPEAKER_01: They were repenting because they heard hell and condemnation and they didn't want to burn in hell.
- 16:50SPEAKER_01: You see, and that's not the good news of the gospel.
- 16:53SPEAKER_01: And I mean, it has been preached all over the world, it has been preached in tribes and nations, all over the world.
- 17:01SPEAKER_01: This thing that is not the gospel, and so Jesus says in Matthew 24, 14, he says, this gospel of the kingdom must be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, to all the people, and then the end will come.
- 17:16SPEAKER_01: And so, this gospel of the kingdom I taught on, it's so important that we preach that.
- 17:21SPEAKER_01: That there is salvation in Christ Jesus, that there is reconciliation with God the Father, that there is peace with God, that there is the remission of sin, the forgiveness of sins, you know, in Christ Jesus, by his blood, that he paid and he died, and he paid everything that needed to be paid so that you and I could be free and that we could live in the presence of God for eternity, that we can know God as a father now, and that we can say, Abba, Father, that is the goodness of the gospel.
- 17:46SPEAKER_01: It is that you are being saved by grace through faith, and it's a gift of God, so that no one should boast.
- 17:52SPEAKER_01: Man.
- 17:52SPEAKER_01: You know, and I shared on the importance of that.
- 17:55SPEAKER_01: And then I start sharing, you know, on how we should take our authority because God has given us power, he has given us authority to go out, you know, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
- 18:05SPEAKER_01: We need the power of the Holy Spirit to go out, and then he gave us the power of the Holy Spirit, which, you know, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which is the promise of the Father for all of us, all of his children.
- 18:15SPEAKER_01: And so when we have that power, we receive boldness to be witnesses, we receive boldness to preach the gospel of the kingdom.
- 18:21SPEAKER_01: And I took Peter as an example without the power of the Holy Spirit, and then with the power of the Holy Spirit, what a huge of a difference that is.
- 18:28SPEAKER_01: And so we need that power, and then when we have that power, he has given us that power, and when we go out in that power, we go out in the authority as ambassadors of the kingdom of God, and we preach the gospel of the kingdom with authority, you know, then God will confirm that with signs and wonders.
- 18:45SPEAKER_01: There will be happening a lot of stuff if you go out, and God doesn't want us to be lukewarm, he doesn't want us to stand at the sideline and don't do nothing and just wait for somebody else to go and do it.
- 18:55SPEAKER_01: He doesn't want you just to pray for more laborers and then don't labor yourself.
- 18:59SPEAKER_01: He wants you to rise up in your strength, in your authority, your God-given authority, and he wants you to believe him, trust him, and do what he says that you can do.
- 19:08SPEAKER_01: Because he says that you will do greater work than the than he does, you know, um, and you will do the that you will do the works that he did, and greater works than these because he would go to his father.
- 19:19SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, you can go out and you can heal the sick and cleanse the lepers and raise the dead, cast out demons, you can feed the hungry, you can make a difference, you can take care of people, you can really, you know, be the answer in this world because you have the answer who's dwelling within you.
- 19:33SPEAKER_01: No longer you live, you have been crucified with Christ, but Christ dwells in you.
- 19:37SPEAKER_01: Now let Christ then also become manifest in and through your life by the power and the anointing of the Holy Spirit to go out in his authority, knowing who you are and what he commanded you to do, and just do it so that you will be called his friend, so that you can show him that you love him.
- 19:52SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 19:53SPEAKER_01: Because that's what he's teaching in his word.
- 19:55SPEAKER_01: And so I encourage people to stand up and to take action and to become, you know, this disciple of Jesus that is not lukewarm, but that goes out and preach the gospel and walks in authority and trust and believe that God will confirm it with signs and wonders.
- 20:09SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 20:10SPEAKER_01: And boy, what a powerful stuff that was, and I really want to encourage you to go back to that.
- 20:15SPEAKER_01: And so, in this resume, there was there's one thing I've mentioned, you know, a little bit here and a little bit there, but I really want to emphasize this in this little bit of last part of this uh series, this episode of effective evangelism, and that is discipleship.
- 20:30SPEAKER_01: You know, Jesus says in Matthew 28, he says here in Matthew 28, he says, Go therefore in all the world.
- 20:41SPEAKER_01: Let me go back here.
- 20:46SPEAKER_01: He says, Go therefore in Matthew 28, verse 19, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I've commanded you, and lo, I am with you always even to the end of the age.
- 21:02SPEAKER_01: Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations.
- 21:05SPEAKER_01: So, you know, if we are winning people for the kingdom of God, and you know, I have difficulties with that when I do this open-air festivals because I'm reaching tens of thousands of people, I let them registrate and give them a free book and the Bible so we have their details, and then we give them aftercare through active campaign, we send them emails, we connect them with the local churches as much as possible, you know, so that they can disciple them with the tools that we give to them, like the one basic study guides and things like that.
- 21:31SPEAKER_01: You know, but when you talk one-on-one, you're the Great Commission that's for you and that is for me.
- 21:35SPEAKER_01: It's so important that you take the time that when you lead somebody to the Lord, that you also disciple him.
- 21:41SPEAKER_01: Because he didn't say go there and go therefore and make converts, he says go therefore and make disciples.
- 21:47SPEAKER_01: And so, yes, we need to convert them, we need to lead them to the Lord and so that they might be saved, which is the whole reason why Jesus came.
- 21:55SPEAKER_01: But then we need to disciple them so they get this foundation and they.
- 22:00SPEAKER_01: Get to understand that they also are called to be a labor of the kingdom of God, to be a disciple of Jesus, and they also are called to be a witness to all the nations.
- 22:08SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, you need to disciple them, kickstart them, and take them by the hand and show them who they are in Christ Jesus, so they can go and do exactly the same there where God sends or leads them.
- 22:20SPEAKER_01: And who knows if one of them, you know, will rise up and become this crazy evangelist like I am, you know, then this is fruits that will be added to your account as well.
- 22:31SPEAKER_01: Man, I'm telling you, it's so important to make disciples, you know, to teach them.
- 22:37SPEAKER_01: And so, you know, um, whenever you have the chance to lead somebody to the Lord, please make some time, find a way, take the effort to disciple him.
- 22:49SPEAKER_01: And if you do not, if you if you are not in the possibility, you know, to disciple him yourself, then lead him to somebody that can or wants to.
- 22:58SPEAKER_01: Or bring him to the local church where he lives and make sure that they will disciple him.
- 23:04SPEAKER_01: Make sure that he will be baptized A-S-A-P- in water, and that you know, when you lead him to the Lord, that you pray for him for the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
- 23:13SPEAKER_01: You lead him to the Lord by letting him repent in his heart and confess with his mouth, and you help him with some words and say, you know, Father God, I believe that Jesus is your son and he died for my sins and he rose again and he's alive today, and you know, um, I come to you and accept you as my Lord and say, if you're please come into my life, you know, and I believe with all my heart and then confess it with my mouth.
- 23:33SPEAKER_01: And you know, and so you lead them to the Lord, and then you say, There is a promise for you, which is the Holy Spirit that God wants to give to your children, and you just pray for them to rece for them to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
- 23:44SPEAKER_01: So you already got two out of three.
- 23:46SPEAKER_01: There's one baptism that's left, and that's the baptism with water.
- 23:49SPEAKER_01: Now, whenever there is water and you have the chance, baptize them immediately.
- 23:53SPEAKER_01: But for if there for some reason or you know, uh you cannot baptize them immediately, or this the water is frozen, or there is no water, maybe you can bring them home, always go with two, you know, and then you know, baptize them in your bathtub, you know, or you bring them to a place where they can be baptized, you know, but always make sure that they immediately receive those three as soon as possible.
- 24:15SPEAKER_01: Like being uh, you know, born again by accepting Jesus the Lord and Savior that's baptized into his death, and then you baptize them in water, and then that they will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.
- 24:25SPEAKER_01: And so get them into that fullness, take them by the hand, disciple them, let them know what happened to them and how you know they can now apply that in their life and work that out in their lives, you know.
- 24:37SPEAKER_01: And who knows that by them their family got gonna get saved, you know, other people gonna get saved, you know, and they will multiply themselves the way that you are multiplying yourself.
- 24:45SPEAKER_01: And so it's so important to not only lead them to the Lord and then leave them be.
- 24:51SPEAKER_01: It's important to at least help them on their way, but disciple them where you can disciple them.
- 24:58SPEAKER_01: Man, it's so important.
- 25:00SPEAKER_01: And I really wanted to uh, you know, uh emphasize this a little bit in this uh last episode of Effective Evangelism.
- 25:08SPEAKER_01: That yes, we are called for soul winning, and yes, we are called to preach the gospel of the kingdom, yes, we are called to be a witness, yes, we are called to be effective and go out in authority, and yes, we are called to set them free and heal them and all that stuff.
- 25:22SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
- 25:23SPEAKER_01: But we are also called to make disciples out of them, and there the body of Christ in general misses it.
- 25:32SPEAKER_01: You know, maybe they did win people, you know, they had people repeating this little scripture, you know, on the street.
- 25:40SPEAKER_01: If you go, if you die today, you know where you go, heaven or hell.
- 25:43SPEAKER_01: I don't know, you want to go to heaven?
- 25:45SPEAKER_01: Yes, I want just pray this little prayer, and they just leave him there.
- 25:48SPEAKER_01: They pray this little prayer, you give them a they give them a card of their church, and then they just leave him there, you know, which I believe can be way more effective if you just share with them the gospel of the kingdom in love to make them aware that they are in need of salvation, and then when they get to the point that they recognize and acknowledge that they need that, and they repent in their hearts, and then they believe and confess with their mouths, you know, and you lead them into the kingdom of God, then you say, Listen, you know, you made a very important step.
- 26:17SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna pray for you for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, so they immediately will be empowered, you know, whether it's water, and you can be you were able to baptize them.
- 26:24SPEAKER_01: But if not, you just say, Listen, man, there's something tremendously amazing happened with you, and angels are celebrating in heaven.
- 26:31SPEAKER_01: You have become my brother.
- 26:32SPEAKER_01: I want to give you my phone number, my WhatsApp, you know, and I want you to connect with me.
- 26:37SPEAKER_01: You know, I've got something for you.
- 26:39SPEAKER_01: And don't just give them a Bible, but give something that explains the Bible.
- 26:42SPEAKER_01: Give him some booklets.
- 26:43SPEAKER_01: There are amazing booklets.
- 26:45SPEAKER_01: Andrew Womick has one that's the new you and the Holy Spirit.
- 26:48SPEAKER_01: Really want to recommend that to you.

- 26:54SPEAKER_01: You know, there's a lot of tools that you can get for free, you know, and then you can give that to them, you know, and then lead them, you know, and help them on their way and tell them, listen, connect with me.
- 27:05SPEAKER_01: If you have any questions, you know, if you want to go have lunch with me, you know, I can talk with you and I can help you, and just start to disciple them or bring them somewhere where they can be discipled.
- 27:14SPEAKER_01: Amen.
- 27:15SPEAKER_01: Man, my time is already up again, and you know, I can keep on talking.
- 27:19SPEAKER_01: This is very important.
