Description: Witnessing Made Easy by C.S. Lovett, L. Lovett Witnessing is not soul-winning. Soul-winning consists of a single task-bring a prospect face to face with Christ and press him to receive the Lord as his Savior. Theres no half-way business about it. You either get a person to make a decision or you dont. If you fail to make the presentation or are interrupted for some reason, you simply do not win that soul for Christ. If there is no decision, there is no soul-winning. Witnessing, on the other hand, is a work that can be performed in countless ways. The moment a person does anything to share the word of Christ, he is a 100% successful. Witnessing ranges all the way from hiding a gospel tract in a public place to telling another person what Jesus means to you. Therefore, soul-winning and witnessing are NOT the same. While everyone can witness for Jesus, not everyone can win souls--at least not at first. For decades I have been training soul-winners and witnesses. It has been my experience that the average Christian doesnt know the difference between the two skills. Most think they are synonymous. That causes them to shy away from any kind of training. Believing there is no way to witness short of winning a soul to Christ, they are reluctant to start. A multitude of Gods people is content to remain silent, thinking only of those prepared to win souls are qualified to speak for Christ. I estimate that 80% of all believers have this notion. Satan is using it to keep them out of action. I dont blame them for being frightened. Soul-winning is a terrifying business-until you are equipped with the skill, and more importantly, have the strength to use it. Its a welcome relief, therefore, to learn that there are two specialties-one which is quite difficult and the other very easy. I believe that all Christians could become soul-winners-if they would first work with the Holy Spirit as witnesses. There is nothing more torturous than forcing yourself to be a soul-winner when you dont have the personality strength for that kind of approach. The thing to do is to develop your strength as a witness, and then you can tackle the task of soul-winning with confidence and enthusiasm. I am suggesting, that unless you have a vigorous personality strength which allows you to start right off as a soul-winner, you should forget about it-temporarily. The Lord is aware of this variable in His people. He knows some are endowed with public gifts, while others are shy and timid. Thats why He gave the command to witness, "You shall be My witnesses" (Acts 1:8). Everyone can witness, even though not all go on to win souls. Why? There are ways to witness that match the shyness of the timidest soul. Everyone can begin with the easiest steps, and then, with the passing of time, graduate to harder ones. It is cruel to expect people to perform spiritual tasks that are not consistent with their social strengths. There are those who accept the challenge of their pastor or some evangelist to try and be soul-winners. A sense of duty drives them. For a time they go through the nightmare of attempting something beyond their ability, but it doesnt last. Before long, they recoil from it. And thats bad. Usually, it instills a fear from which they are not easily recovered. In this book, you will learn that witnessing does not mean soul-winning; that the spirits power follows your words, and tells us exactly what to say and do. There are ten steps (rungs) in our witnessing course. Each offers a bit more ego threat than the preceding one. We begin the course with secret actions, gradually moving closer and closer to people in bite-sized steps that are fun. As soon as a person absorbs all the threats at one level, he advances to the next higher level. Are you ready to go up the ladder?
