Do you know how to reach out with prophecy, words of
knowledge, words of wisdom and supernatural evangelism?
When the Holy Spirit operates in healing,
deliverance and miracles - through us - people are able to experience the
glory and reign of the Kingdom of God, here of earth! Jesus and the apostles
walked among the people, demonstrating the Kingdom of God, on earth as it
is in Heaven through
supernatural evangelism.
Jesus said to demonstrate the Kingdom of God
this way: Luke 10:9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them,
'The kingdom of God is near you.' Luke 11:20 But if I
drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to
you. Luke 17:20-21 Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the
kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, "The kingdom of God does not
come with your careful observation, 21 nor will people say, 'Here it is,'
or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you." 1
Cor 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of
power. Matt 21:43 Therefore I tell you that the kingdom
of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will
produce its fruit.
HOW DO WE PRODUCE
THE FRUIT OF THE KINGDOM?
We can begin by
praying scripture about evangelism daily.
(Highlight this article, click
edit, copy and paste it onto Word to print.)
Examine scripture and find out how they
prayed for the key to open men's hearts and the Holy Spirit moved in a
supernatural way to point them to God. God's easy way to reach
people is to let them know that we care and He cares. Pray for
them with specific compassionate prayers, words of knowledge, prophetic
words, healing and miracles. I cannot find clear examples in the
Bible, where Jesus "taught" the entire plan of salvation at one sitting.
Jesus demonstrated God's love with supernatural power.
WHAT WAS JESUS' STRATEGY
FOR THE HARVEST?
DEMONSTRATION OF POWER POINTS THEM TO GOD
1 Cor 2: 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive
words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, 5 so that
your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.
FOCUS ON
JESUS CHRIST IN THE SCRIPTURE
Luke 24:27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to
them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
BUT MORE
THAN JUST SCRIPTURE
Rom 15:19 by the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the
Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have
fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
THE EASY
WAY - ACCOMPANIED BY SIGNS AND WONDERS
Mark 16:15-18 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the
good news to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be
saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these
signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out
demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with
their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at
all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."
REVELATION! PROPHECY IS THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS
Rev 19:10 At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me,
"Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who
hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus
is the spirit of prophecy."
NOT A
FORMULA - ASK THE FATHER WHAT TO SAY AND DO
John 12:49-50 For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who
sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it. 50 I know that his
command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the
Father has told me to say."
PARTNER WITH GOD
USING HIS TOOLS
GIFTS
AND PROPHECY BRING REVELATION AND CONVICTION
1 Cor 14:23-25 But if an unbeliever or someone who does not
understand comes in while everybody is prophesying, he will be
convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged by all ...
ASK GOD
FOR THE STRATEGY - HEALING OR MIRACLES?
John 9:6-7 "Go," he told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word
means Sent). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.
TESTIMONY AND POWER OVERCOME DEBATING MINDS, EXPERIENCE, CULTURE,
DIFFERENCES IN CULTURE OR EDUCATION
1 Cor 2:1-5 When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence
or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.
2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ
and him crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much
trembling. 4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and
persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, 5
so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.
PROPHECY
REVEALS THE SECRETS OF MEN’S HEARTS
1 Cor 14:24-25 But if an unbeliever or someone who does not understand
comes in while everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that
he is a sinner and will be judged by all, 25 and the secrets of his
heart will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship God, exclaiming,
"God is really among you!"
JESUS WANTS ALL MEN TO BE
SAVED BEFORE HIS RETURN
YES, THE
GREAT COMMISSION IS FOR YOU!
1 Tim 2:3-4 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all
men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
INTIMACY
RESULTS IN FRUITFULNESS
John 15:5-6 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in
me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do
nothing.
GOD WILL
TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT TO DO AND SAY
John 5:19-20 Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son
can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing,
because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
THE KEY TO THEIR HEART WILL BRING LIFE
THE
LOGOS WORD OF GOD IS ALWAYS FRUITFUL
John 12:50 I know that his command leads to eternal life. So
whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say."
THE
RHEMA WORDS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU WILL DRAW THEM
Matt 10:19-20 But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or
how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, 20 for it
will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through
you.
IN THE
SAINTS MOVEMENT, ALL SAINTS CAN DO GREATER WORKS
Acts 2:17-18 "'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit
on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men
will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18 Even on my servants,
both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will
prophesy.
COVET
THE BEST GIFTS, TO PROPHESY AND SO SPEAK IN TONGUES
1 Cor 14:1, 39 Follow after charity and desire spiritual gifts, but
rather that you may prophesy. Wherefore, brethren, covet to
prophesy, and forbid not to speak in tongues.
GOD
CHOSE TO USE US IN WAYS THAT LOOK "FOOLISH'
1 Cor 1:20-21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom
did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was
preached to save those who believe.
GOD WILL
ANOINT THE WITNESS
2 Cor 1:21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath
anointed us, is God
EXAMPLES OF STRATEGY AND
REVELATION
ASK THEM
IF THEY WANT TO BE HEALED
John 5:2-6 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in
Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered
colonnades. 3 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie-the
blind, the lame, the paralyzed. 5 One who was there had been an invalid
for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that
he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, "Do you
want to get well?"
DEAF AND
MUTE - MUD AND SPIT
Mark 7:33-35 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put
his fingers into the man's ears. Then he spit and touched the man's
tongue. 34 He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, "Ephphatha!"
(which means, "Be opened!"). 35 At this, the man's ears were opened, his
tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.
BLIND
EYES - MUD AND SPIT AND WASH
John 9:6-7 Having said this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with
the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes. 7 "Go," he told him, "wash in
the Pool of Siloam" (this word means Sent). So the man went and
washed, and came home seeing.
CHRONIC
ILLNESS - POINT OF CONTACT
Luke 8:42-44 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for
twelve years, but no one could heal her. 44 She came up behind him and
touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.
DEATH
AND DYING - GET UP AND STAND
Luke 8:41-42, 54-55 Then a man named Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue,
came and fell at Jesus' feet, pleading with him to come to his house 42
because his only daughter, a girl of about twelve, was dying. 54 But he
took her by the hand and said, "My child, get up!" 55 Her spirit
returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her
something to eat.
THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL GIVE YOU
SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS
A
SPECIFIC DIVINE APPOINTMENT AND SPECIFIC STEPS
Acts 8:26-30 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, "Go south to the
road-the desert road-that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza." 27 So he
started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, an important
official in charge of all the treasury of Candace, queen of the
Ethiopians. This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship, 28 and on his way
home was sitting in his chariot reading the book of Isaiah the prophet. 29
The Spirit told Philip, "Go to that chariot and stay near it." 30
Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the
prophet. "Do you understand what you are reading?" Philip asked.
A
PROPHETIC CALL AND LAYING ON HANDS
Acts 9:15-17 But the Lord said to Ananias, "Go! This man is my chosen
instrument to carry my name before the Gentiles and their kings and
before the people of Israel. 16 I will show him how much he must suffer
for my name." 17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing
his hands on Saul, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord-Jesus, who
appeared to you on the road as you were coming here-has sent me so that
you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
HE GIVES
A WORDS OF KNOWLEDGE TO THEM TOO
Acts 10:4-6 Cornelius stared at him in fear. "What is it, Lord?"
he asked. The angel answered, "Your prayers and gifts to the poor have
come up as a memorial offering before God. 5 Now send men to Joppa to
bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6 He is staying with
Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea."
HE HAS
ALREADY PREPARED THE RECEIVER
Acts 10:19-20 While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit
said to him, "Simon, three men are looking for you. 20 So get up and go
downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them."
EXPECT
GOD TO LEAD THROUGH VISIONS
Acts 16:8-10 During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia
standing and begging him, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." 10
After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for
Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to
them.
YES, AND TRUST GOD TO TELL YOU WHERE NOT TO
GO!
Acts 16:6-7 Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of
Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching
the word in the province of Asia.
