How important is soul winning to you?

Question

In my veiw..
Nothing gets closer to the heartbeat of God than
soulwinning.
(John 4:34-35) Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do
the will of him that sent me, and to finish His work. Say
not ye, there are yet four months and then cometh
harvest? Behold I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and
look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
Yes , when we choose the way of the eagle, we choose
to lift our eyes to see the harvest-the harvest of souls-
whether it be our next door neighbor, people across town
people in the neighboring town, or even those in other
states or countries far from us.
Whenwe lift our eyes and allow the vision of God to come
upon us, we will see clearly. We will not classify people
into races or positions. We will no longer see people as
joe the backer, sue the teller, or bob my high school bud.
But rather, we will see souls as God would have us see
them.
(Proverbs 29:18) Where there is no vision, the people
perish........We have to protect our vision.
We cannot allow the winds of discouragement, the winds
of persecution or hte clouds of oppression to hinder us
from being soulwinners.
The more battles we fight, the more understanding we
will receive and the more we will be able to relate to
people and give them the bread of life that the Lord
requires us to give them.
(matthew 5:13-16) is a must read.
Soulwinning is not accomplished in a classroom or the
pew, but out where sinners are. We must get one on one
with them. The burden to reach souls is received out in
the midst of the hurt and turmoil of this world-where the
sinners are. That burden will travel with us everywhere
we go and at all times.
(romans 10:1) pauls burden for lost souls
When we minister simply with a burden for the lost, we
will discover true power and authority in Jesus.
(matthew 4:19) follow me , and I will make you fishers of
men. ( A good sign that we are following Jesus is that we
are fishers or changer of men.
(2corinthians 4:3) we must share the gospel. We must
not stand before Him on that day empty-handed.
(proverbs 11:30) He that winneth souls is wise.
ISAIAH 66:7-8) she brought forth her children.
Revival does not come through methods of programs
but through a burden received in intercessory prayer and
by breaking through in spiritual warfare by praying and
fasting. Then a burden for Lost souls.
We must never become so involved with our ahievements
or ministrys sucess or Gods blessings or gifts ,(that we
forget the main reason why we are doing what we are
doing - to reach souls and to spread the gospel of
Jesus Christ!) We must reach for souls with the Love and
Compassion of Jesus. Always speaking Truth in Love.

Answer 2

one has to question the importance of soul winning though... When the bible was written that was the primary form of communication (by mouth). Now anyone can turn on a TV and learn about religion. So do you think that the scriptures still hold there relevance since salvation is by choice and not forced upon individuals

Answer 3

I also have a splash diverse take on the subject of triumphing souls to Christ than some. I share the word of God and witness each and every time the prospect provides itself. I share the word of God, no longer my comments. it is notwithstanding, i've got confidence, the Holy Spirits interest to place conviction upon the middle of a individual, isn't it this conviction that finally wins souls?

Answer 4

Very well said... I wish there were a lot more like you. Blessings to you.. may the Lord give you boldness to reach out to a lost and perishing world.

Answer 5

I think being a good person and working to make sure others are comfortable first is important.

I don't believe any owns my soul; I am in control of it.

Answer 6

thats a shallow way.... Jesus is the way, no one comes to the father except through Him is what I have been taught and have read..... but in my opinion.... love everyone as Jesus love you is the only commandment.... not soul winning.....
there is not short cutting the line, so winning more souls won't get you closer to God.... just be good, and treat everyone they way you want to be treated.... b/c some of you soul-winning ppl love to offend ppl and treat others like they are bad people.... people with other beliefs are just people with different beliefs.... let it go.....

Answer 7

Matthew 23:15
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

Answer 8

Jesus isn't the only way. What a shallow approach to spirituality

Answer 9

it is noble of you to care so much about other people, but check the log in your own eye before you point out the sliver in someone else's

Answer 10

Since the soul, like god, consciousness & self-awareness, is a product of the brain, and when the brain dies, the soul will consequently die, it is impossible to win the soul. So soul-wining is not important to me, since it is impossible to do.
