As soon as God reached me, I wanted to extend the invitation to others. Being cowardly, my want to didn't take me very far. Really, it took me mainly to guilt for I could not do it.
My heart thinks Soul Winning constantly. I'm always studying the landscape of family, friends, and neighbors. I wonder how to reach. Thirty-six of my neighbors are named in prayer every night seeking God's introduction or intrusion into their walk.
For any reader who is hesitant as I once was, allow me to share a concept that might just be your ticket into going into all the world. See the back door.
The back door I reference is none other than weakness. Weakness wins. Weakness is the very thing no one wants and all people have. Weakness wins others who are weak. Big-shotism doesn't win. In-your- face evangelism works for many. I tried it. I didn't like the results.
The best tool in my arsenal is weakness. Nearly everyone, regardless of social level, can and will open to another's weakness identity. 100% of people are mindful of personal flaws. The cover-up may appear successful. Yet, I know about everyone....each is mindful of glitch after glitch.
Therefore, I laugh much at myself as a method of signaling I know the truth about me; I'm a nobody. Any we are reaching will never find themselves intimidated by nobodies. This is the back door to a person's heart. I approach many. Always I will know they are the better. Always.
To the weak I became weak that I might win the weak....I Cor. 9:22. Our people hesitate...or possibly refuse...to go into all the world for God. Fear is understandable. Yet, there is a back door and it works.
As we go, maybe if we went not knowing Bible things but knowing people hurt over their weaknesses we may discover a better way to win the world.
