Particulars of Soul Winning
How to
Prepare The Soil
Getting
People to Listen to The Word
We must focus
our efforts on a particular piece of ground.
- We do not plow the entire earth.
- We do not haphazardly plow the ground.
It is the human heart which is pictured as
soil.
Jeremiah 4:3
- Thorns and briars symbolize demonic spirits.
The land must be cleared of thorns
before planting.
- This means spiritual warfare, not casting out demons.
Thorns choke out the good seed.
Prayer is the primary factor in preparing the soil.
- Prayer makes the persons heart tender toward God.
- Prayer makes your heart tender toward the person.
Galatians 4:19
TRAVAIL
To experience
the pains of parturition.
The act of
bringing forth young.
FORMED
Until Christ
has a share in you.
- This word is found only three times in scripture.
The embryo developing into a child.
This breaking
up is a surrender to God.
Most likely mental ascent.
