You must be confrontational to win souls.‏

You must be confrontational- Don't miss this. It is one of the most essential traits for effective witnessing. It must be gracious, from the heart and in the Spirit.

Many years ago I had a good friend who would hear me tell about leading a man to Christ on a plane, in a store, at our door and thought of me as confrontational in the sense that I was in their face, hammering away at them. One day he sat right in front of me on a plane and heard me lead a man to Christ. Afterward he apologized and said "You were the most kind, gracious with that man and no way could he have been offended. The devil wants to muddy the waters. People don't get mad at you when you share the gospel in love and in the power of the Holy Spirit.

MOST of the time, people are going to respond in the same manner you approach them. It has been years since I had someone get bothered as I shared the gospel. Jesus was confrontational with that woman at the well in Jn 4. Phillip was confrontational with the Ethiopian in Acts 8. Paul was confrontational with the jailer in Acts 16. . We must take the initiative and direct the conversation or people will interrupt, ask questions, and get you side tracked unless you dominate the conversation in a good sense. to give out the gospel.

People don't come running up to us asking us to lead them to Christ. Think of this and let it soak into you mind so you take the indicative. and we do it All Because of Calvary, ABC Sumner
