1. Empowering believers

Transcription

Hello and welcome to this video lesson on empowering believers through the Holy Spirit. As believers, we are called to be ambassadors for Christ and to share the gospel with those around us. However, this can be a daunting task that can intimidate anyone. But the good news is that we are not alone in this mission. The Holy Spirit is with us every step of the way, empowering us to be effective witnesses for Jesus.

So, how can we tap into the power of the Holy Spirit and be empowered for soul winning? Let’s take a look at a few ways:

First, we need to recognize that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. This means that when we ask Him, He empowers us to share the good news of the gospel with boldness and confidence. This realization can give us a sense of authority and confidence in our soul winning efforts.

Second, we need to approach soul winning with a sense of purpose and clarity. When we remember that our primary goal is to glorify God and introduce others to Him, it helps us to focus on the message of salvation and avoid getting sidetracked by other issues or distractions.

Third, we need to overcome fears or doubts that we may have about sharing our faith. Knowing that the Holy Spirit is in us gives us the assurance that we have the wisdom, strength, and courage to share the gospel, regardless of the circumstances.

Finally, we need to recognize that the power of the gospel is not in us but in the Holy Spirit. This realization can help us avoid relying on our own abilities or resources and instead rely on the power of the Holy Spirit to change hearts and minds.

So, how can we cultivate an attitude of dependence on the Holy Spirit? We can start by asking Him to fill us and empower us for service whenever we need His help and guidance. We can also seek to live in obedience to His promptings and be willing to follow wherever He leads. Spending time in prayer and in the Word of God is also crucial to empower us to share the gospel effectively.

In conclusion, the Holy Spirit is the source of power and strength for believers as we go out into the world to share the gospel and make disciples. He helps believers to overcome fear and doubt and enables us to be effective witnesses for Jesus. By recognizing that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit and cultivating an attitude of dependence on Him, we can be empowered to share the gospel effectively and fulfill our calling as ambassadors for Christ. Thank you for watching, and God bless.
