No Condemnation Evangelism - Stop Feeling Guilty Start Watering

Evangelism is scary, what i have to go and tell people about Jesus. How about when the Holy Spirit puts you on the spot to see if you will tell the person as well, double scary. Furthermore, the devil always makes you feel like crap afterwards, and says things like you suck, you didnt say the right thing, you should have said this etc...

First, make sure you are spreading the TRUE gospel, else you will be under a curse.



Scripture
1 Corinthians 3:7
One waters, one plants, but God gives the increase.

Matthew 28:19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

Acts 2:38
Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Steps
- Salvation Prayer
- Water Baptism
- Holy Spirit Baptism
- Disciple

Quick Tips & Tactics
Everytime you evangelize, whatever you say, whatever you do, no matter how bad you sucked, even if all you could get out of your mouth was Jesus loves you know this:

Know this: We Evangelize for Converts to DISCIPLE, im guilty as well, i am not discipling anyone right now, please pray God sends me someone. My goal is two people.

Evangelize Tips
- Its Gods and the Holy Spirits responsibility to generate results, dont take responsibility for results
- Whatever you do, always thank the Holy Spirit for sowing seed
- Pray beforehand, ask the Holy Spirit to bind the strongman/demons and any spiritual hindrance, open eyes/ears to hear the Gospel, pray for wisdom, and the right words.
- If failure get up and go again
- Never evangelize using FEAR tactics. God did not give us a spirit of fear.
- Love them into the Kingdom
- Love does not fear if they dont receive Christ the first time you speak with them, its not your responsibility to save them, its your responsibility to share with them
- Statistically people must hear about Christ 7x's before they receive Christ
- Dont evangelize with an agenda
- Place a greater emphasis on loving the person than converting the person
- Sales tactics dont work, love and honesty, and sharing work
- Pretend your sharing juicy oranges for the person to try, your bringing Jesus fruit to them
- Dont ever get in an argument about theology, thats retarded
- Sometimes the greatest way to witness is without words, if they are attacking you keep your peace. Your peace is a weapon. People see Christ when you hold your peace. Share the fruits of the spirit with them.
- Use wisdom, remember your representing Jesus Christ, standing on a table and shouting in a restaurant is unlikely to be effective. I have tried it.
- Live in the land (wherever you go, open opportunities) or schedule evangelism time.
- Follow through, get number, invite to normal people stuff, restaurant, burgers and shakes, play some basketball. Establish trust, friendship, then invite to church event. Always love.
- People dont know scripture, use some but relate to them as a human being as well. Be normal. Hey bro, i just really want you to know God the way i know God. God is really awesome. He has done so much for me, this one time i was going through a mess, my car was broken down and etc...
- Use testimonies, people love to hear a great story of how awesome God and no one can or has ever refuted a testimony because its your story, how can they refute your story.
- Also its best to stay away from the super duper supernatural testimonies, i saw Jesus and he took me flying across the Universe and i saw dinosaurs and i traveled back in time 2,000 years ago. Yes, i have heard these testimonies and i believe them to be true, but unbelievers wont.
- Pray for the sick: lay hands on person and say Lord i release healing on this foot, ankle.

Effective Strategies:
- Excuse me i know that you dont know me, but i really felt God put it on my heart to talk to you...do you believe in Jesus. They always say yes, then you could say wonderful me too, one last question do you know how to get to heaven. Answer is faith in Jesus, and by grace we grow. Share your testimony.

- Best thing, just get to know someone knew and tell them because you consider them a friend you want to share with them the greatest news in the entire world, Jesus. Tell them your testimony, Then be quiet and listen forever and see what happens. Listening shows you value them.

- Everytime you get a receipt at a store, give the cashier a gospel track and tell them "whether you read this or not, know that Jesus loves you so much, He has a wonderful plan and purpose for your life!"

- Preach in public, preach the Love of God. Preach how much God loves people, preach the Love of the Father, preach love. Offer to pray for people.

- Love, patience, kindness, gentleness, character is greater than healing, power, prophecy. Focus on the fruits first. I have people respond more greatly when i considered helping them and loving them first.

Disciple Tips
The goal is to disciple the nations. Someone said Jesus model of getting 12 converts and then discipling them to go out and evangelize and then they get converts and then disciple them etc... if this was the strategy employed today in 16 years 7 Billion people could be reached and discipled. Rather, we see the church amassing huge converts who are not raised up in the fullness of Christ. Look at Africa, the most evangelized in the world, yet very little change. There is no discipleship.

Set a goal: 2 converts per year
Teach them all you know
