Today, many churches depend more on methods of evangelization than on the Holy Spirit; more management techniques are used than the power of the Spirit through the gospel; If he is not the Lord, there will be no openness of heart (Acts 16:14) Man cannot open his heart. Whoever generates faith in the heart is the Holy Spirit through the Word (Romans 10:14). We must trust that the Word of God will not return empty (Is 55:11).
Without understanding the total depravity of man, we will not understand the need of the Spirit in evangelization. Man does not retain on him a good side, a spark of goodness that allows him to receive Christ. The dead do nothing, and dry bones do not rise without the Lord’s life-giving Word.
- The Scripture declares that “faith is not everyone’s? (2 Thes 3.
- 2).
- But? God’s elect? (Tt 1.
- 1).
- ” They do not come from man but are a gift from God “(Eph 2.
- 8).
- In this state of the human being.
- We can get discouraged.
- But we must remember that God has his (Acts 18:10).
We must also understand that the Spirit acts by its truth. Word without Spirit – dead; Spirit without Word: superstition.
? (?) The Spirit of God is so united and connected to His truth, manifested by Him in the scriptures, that He discovers and shows precisely his power, when the Word receives the reverence and dignity that it must (?). ?
? Similarly, can discourse not be separated “from the Spirit,” as fans imagine that, dismissing the word, boast about the name of the Spirit and increase things, as confidential, in their own imagination. It is the spirit of Satan that is separated from the word, to which the Spirit of God is continually united.
We must seek the Spirit, not in a baptism separated from conversion (a second blessing), but more and more full; Thus, prepared in prayer, we courageously preach the gospel of Christ, which is God’s power for the salvation of all. who believe (Romans 1:16).
Abandon all the paraphernalia you use to manipulate people into accepting Jesus does not depend on carnal techniques. You have a powerful weapon that is the power of the Spirit through the Word. Preach the Bible faithfully and bend your knees in prayer and let God do what your sovereign does.
