Paul's Evangelism Technique

Scripture:

Romans 15:19 "They were convinced by the power of miraculous signs and wonders and by the power of God's Spirit. In this way, I have fully presented the Good News of Christ from Jerusalem all the way to Illyricum".

Observation:

Paul is speaking here about the conversion of the Gentiles on his missionary journeys. Paul was definitely one of the greatest missionary evangelist, church planters ever. How did he build the kingdom and convince people about the Good News of Christ? "They were convinced by the power of miraculous signs and wonders and by the power of God's Spirit". Today we tend to steer away from the supernatural because people might think we are weird or something. We need the supernatural to confirm our message.

Application:

We need the power of the Spirit back in our lives. We need to be plugged in to the power of the Holy Spirit. When He empowers us and moves in our midst, people will notice and come the Christ. Much of America today has walked away from Christ because they were promised power, but never received and walked in it. They think the claims of Christ are not real because all they have seen is a week church that can't back up what it preaches. We need power back in our lives, back in our churches, back in our evangelism, back in every area of our lives. We need the power to be turned on.

Prayer:

O, Lord send the power just now. O Lord send the power just now, O Lord send the power just now and baptize everyone. I think this song says my heart this morning Holy Spirit. Empower us to be the powerful church You designed us to be.

Sincerely,
Jeff Jacob
