It
is been said, that testimony shared by people is a lifter of soul and spirit,
it gives hope to the hopeless, faith to the faithless and encouragement to the
discouraged. It is very hard to disciple people in this day and age because it
takes time and commitment. Jesus disciples people for 2 or 3 years. There is no
way we can get people to make that kind of commitment today.
To
be able to disciple someone, you must get some kind of commitment from them. We
have found that if you can get a Christian to commit to writing out their
testimony and share it daily, this commitment sets the stage for the Holy
Spirit to disciple them!
The first thing we challenge people to do in our 12-part discipleship teaching
series is to commit to writing their testimony and being a part of a Real Life
Stories Christian Testimony Book.
The second thing we do is challenge people to carry two copies of the Real Life Stories Christian Testimony
in their hands every time they leave their home and every time they get out of
their car.
The third thing we do is challenge them to ask the Holy Spirit to help them in the
giving away the books!
The
commitment to carry the books joined with the commitment to ask the Holy Spirit
to help them set the stage for the Holy Spirit to be active in their life!
If
a person is always carrying the Gospel message with them in the form of a Real Life Stories Christian Testimony Book,
they are always trusting in the Holy Spirit to help them! This gives the Holy
Spirit total access to all their Time and Daily Life!
What
we accomplish during our 12 Discipleship Sessions is getting a strong
commitment from the person being discipled to allow the Holy Spirit to led them
into Living a Witnessing Lifestyle!
