One of the greatest needs in evangelism is willing workers. The harvest is plenty, but the workers are few. Before Jesus sent out the seventy-two disciples to evangelize, he told them to ask the Lord of the Harvest to send workers (see Luke 10:2).
If we believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we have received the Holy Spirit. So we now rely on the Spirit to go ahead of us and provide opportunities for us to share the Gospel. We rely on the Holy Spirit to convict people of their sin, and to lead them to the truth of Jesus Christ (see John 16:7-11).
One of the ways that the Spirit leads people to Christ is by performing miraculous signs such as healing. The Bible teaches that Jesus miraculously healed many people.
Jesus ministered in power.
37 You know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached– how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. (Acts 10:37-38).
The Apostle Paul spread the Gospel by the power of the Holy Spirit.
4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 5so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power. (1 Cor. 2:4,5 NIV).
I have seen and heard of people being miraculously healed by the power of the Holy Spirit. But not all people are physically healed. It is not God’s purpose that people be continually healed so they live forever in this world. So we pray in the name of Jesus for healing according to the will of God.
Evangelism generally is not bringing people to the church. Rather, evangelism is taking the church to the people. Evangelism involves going out and presenting the Gospel, and winning souls . Once the people are believers, they will want to meet with other Christians of the church.
We pray and evangelize in the power of the Holy Spirit. We follow evangelism with discipleship. Then we leave the results to God. We can’t save the lost. We can only present the Good News, and rely upon God to save sinners.
Mass evangelism occurs among large numbers of people, but personal evangelism involves sharing the Gospel with one person or a small group of people.
In addition to planned evangelism, personal evangelism may occur on a daily basis, as we go about our routine activities. The Great Commission as given in Matthew 28:19 says, “Go and make disciples.” But the Greek word translated as “go” implies that we are also to make disciples as we go. We should pray that God opens our (intellectual ability) that is our minds for opportunities in witnessing to anyone that we encounter.
In order to evangelize as we go about our daily activities, we need to know how to turn a conversation toward spiritual things-Elder Micheal Stewart
