First you must learn how to win back your soul if thats what you believe needs to be done. Then you have to find a person you think doesnt have there soul back yet *I dont believe people lose there souls ever* but anyhow... After you find that person or thing that has lost its soul you ask if it wants to learn about the subject if it says no you walk away. If it says yes then you teach it what you know and let it make up its own mind about the subject. IF you try to force it into believing something you'll be doing it a huge disfavor in a way and your actions MAY come back to you 10 fold as in having someone else force you to believe something else you dont want to but with a gun to your face or something and nobody will want to help you because its what you did on a lower scale. Although I would step in and help you my friend but others may not want to. SO basicaly dont use FORCE and ask before giving your advice but no one is perfect so these rules are broken all the time...

You can not win souls for God. The simple reason for this is that there are no souls, nor is there a God.

God has everything under control, don't worry.
Any other idea assumes a God so incompetent that he could not even come up with a plan for everyone's salvation that was going to work 100 percent of the time.
How likely is that?
Where is your faith?

I guess, don't use force, What exactly does he mean by that anyway. I can't force you to believe what i believe by telling you what i believe. I guess i would rather be able to say, when I got to heaven that i had done all i could, than to say that they didn't wnatto hear it. I would rather be awoken and dragged out of bed and told the house was on fire, than to be left to die because i didn't want to listen. Just as my son couldn't drag me out of the house to save my life, I can't drag you to Jesus and make you accept Him. But, I can let you know your house is on fire! I'm not exactly sure how to get the urgency of the situation across without coming across a overbearing. I guesss one of the ways is to make sure I am living as Jesus would have me to in the first place. Others should be able to see something about me they want for themselves. then when I tell them what it is, they will be more willing to listen.

kindness, not pressure. Most non-christians look down on christians for trying too hard ... "you're going to hell" only works if the person believes the same things as you. Lead by example ... like your saviour did.

Just plant seeds and Jesus takes care of the rest. He is in live changing business.

MAYBE THIS WOULD HELP...
THE DREAM
I DREAMED ONE NIGHT TWO ANGELS CAME TO MY BED. THEY TOOK ME TO HEAVEN I FELT I HAD NOTHING
TO DREAD. WE STOOD IN FRONT OF A BIG WHITE GATE. IT OPENED SLOWLY AS WE STOOD IN WAIT.
MANY CLOUDS BILLOWED AND SWIRLED ABOUT US AS I STOOD IN AWE OF THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS THAT
SURROUNDED US. WHAT I SAW WORDS COULD NOT EXPRESS, I WANTED TO STAY AT THIS BEAUTIFUL ADDRESS.
THE ANGELS ALLOWED ME TO LOOK INSIDE, THE BEAUTY THE MAJESTY, MADE ME CRY.
"IT'S TRUE, IT'S ALL TRUE, I KNOW THAT IT'S TRUE" I HEARD MYSELF CRY, AS TEARS RAN STREAMING
FROM MY EYES.
I KNEW WHAT I SAW WAS NOT OF THIS EARTH,THIS CREATION WAS FOR THOSE OF THE NEW BIRTH. THE
POWER, THE BEAUTY, THE SIGHT OF IT ALL WAS SO STRONG,THAT THE ANGELS SHUT THE GATES QUICKLY
TO MY NEW HOME. "IT'S NOT YOUR TIME," I HEARD THEM SAY, " WE JUST WANTED YOU TO SEE WHAT WAS
ON THE WAY," THEY SAID "YOU WILL NOT REMEMBER WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN INSIDE THE GATE, BUT YOU WILL REMEMBER WHERE
YOU HAVE BEEN.YOU MUST TELL OTHERS ABOUT THIS DREAM. THAT GOD'S WORD IS TRUE. IT'S THE REAL THING.
GOD HAS LET YOU SEE WHAT IS YOUR REWARD IF YOU WORSHIP, LOVE HIM, AND KEEP HIS WORD."
WE ALL NEED TO REALIZE THAT IT'S REALLY TRUE. WE NEED TO GET THE LOST ONES IN IF IT'S ALL THAT WE
DO. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME, THE END IS NEAR, AND YES, IF YOU ARE LOST YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO FEAR.
CALL ON JESUS NOW, SO YOU CAN GO TO AND YOU'LL SEE WHAT I SAW AND YOU'LL BE EXCITED TOO.
I'LL SOON BE IN MY NEW HOME,PASS THE BIG WHITE GATES. DON'T YOU WANT TO GO THERE TOO? I JUST CAN'T
WAIT!!!!
I REALLY DREAMED THIS DREAM JUST AS IT IS WRITTEN. I FEEL IT WAS INSPIRED BY GOD AND HE GUIDED MY
THOUGHTS AND MY HAND IN PUTTING THIS TOGETHER.
I AM GIVING THIS TO YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND GOD HAS DIRECTED ME TO DO SO.
I HOPE THIS MESSAGE WILL HELP YOU TO MAKE THE BIGGEST DECISION OF YOUR LIFE
TO ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR AND TO SERVE HIM. SO YOU, ONE DAY
WILL STAND AT THE BIG WHITE GATES AND BE INVITED IN TO STAY, FOR ETERNITY.
GOD BLESS YOU

When I first read this, I thought it said "black souls."
That's funny to me.
