How to preach the gospel of repentance & kingdom of Heaven is near
(1) GIVING LISTENING EAR:
- First you have a conversation with the person to find out what problems he is facing. Anyone who is steep into idolatory will have open doors to lots of problems from the evil one. They are just yearning for someone to shed the truth of why there are so many sufferings in their little world.
- “Hi ABC, how are you getting on? How is your job? How is your family? Your son or daughter? How is your health?”
- “ABC: No good lah, so miserable my life…”
- After opening your ears to listen patiently to their complains & sorrows, you ask this question:
- “Can I share with you why are there so much sufferings in this world, in terms of sickness, finance, and broken relationship?” Because you have shown so much patience to listen to his/ her sorrows, that person now will be eager to listen to you.
(2) EXPLAINING REASONS FOR SUFFERING – COMPARING 2 KINGDOMS:
- “Because in this world there is a invisible spiritual realm on earth – kingdom of darkness & kingdom of Heaven. Most people cannot see them, some can see the demons & angels. All bad things in this world are caused by demons”.
[Comment: I also refrain from mentioning or condemning other religion. Saying other religions are belonging to kingdom of darkness will cause them to become offended & becoming defensive. They will shut their ears and becoming angry.]
- “First there is a spiritual world kingdom of darkness, where demons are roaming around waiting for people to commit sins , they will then afflict them with sufferings as a consequence of sin. For example, a person who always angry will suffer frequent strife & broken relationship. A person who always slothful, will become poor. A person who is greedy, will become blinded by greed & loose his money easily. A person who is depressed, will have weak immune system & fall sick easily. Every sin will open door to an invisible enemy. Isn’t these true facts of life?”
- “Even if our ancestors’ sins can cause the descendents to suffer.” “There is a spiritual reason.”
- “Evil spirits can speak bad things about you in your bosses’ mind to cause him to dislike you or don’t promote you. Or they can speak bad things about you with your colleagues to create misunderstanding. Or they can directly make a person sick and weak. All bad things in this world is caused by Satan and his demons.”
- The truth set the captives free from the power of darkness.
- “All good things come from the only One good God who created you and is your real Father. It is so simple”.
[Note: Jesus also taught in John 10:10 to blame devil for kill health, stealing finance & destroying relationships. Usually everyone feels good to blame the devil as root cause.]
(3) EXPLAINING WHO IS GOD – 1 in 3:
- “God is a Spirit just like you. He is the Father of all spirits, that is why He loves You and willing to die for you. You are also a spirit living in a temporary human body. Your real person is your spirit, you are made of the same substance as God, the Father of all spirits. Therefore God is your Father. You have only one Father & He is same kind of substance as you – Spirit & spirit. You cannot be born from a different Father. Just as your son resemble your face. Do you understand now why you can have only 1 maker, 1 Father, 1 God?”
- “To make you understand who God is, let me explain ; your body + your spirit = 1 person. Likewise God is only one, but manifest in 3 forms.”
- “God the Father is bigger than the universe, earth is His footstool, so you cannot see Him with your plain eyes.”
- “Jesus, is God clothed Himself in human flesh, He is the image of the invisible God (Col 1:15) He came to earth to tell us about how much God our Father loves us & we should love Him with all our heart. When you study Jesus’ character, you will know God’s character – full of love, faithfulness, goodness & compassion.”
- “The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of both Jesus & the Father. Just as your spirit is spirit of your body. Your spirit is the real you. There is only 1 God in 3 different expressions. Just as your human body plus your human spirit = 1 person. There is only 1 God in 3 forms of expression.”
Comment:
(a) I refrain from mentioning Jesus is the Son of God at this point – it is very confusing for the pre-believers. The “Son” is not according to Oxford dictionary definition.
(b) I also refrained from saying God is 3 in 1; the minds of pre-believers cannot grasp 3 entities in 1 entities. But pre-believers can grasp 1 God in 3 forms of expressions.
“God created us to be with Him as a family. But mankind turn away from Him & try to live without Him in the beginning of history. Mankind by themselves has no power, without God, they become sitting ducks , for the invisible kingdom of darkness or demons to attack us, killing health, stealing our finance & destroying our relationship.”
- “Satan and his demons is attacking us with wrath (Rev 12:12) because he hated God. If you are alone in this world, you are defenseless”. Satan wants to attack us, and turn our hearts away from our real Father God, so that we end up in hell & lake of fire with him forever. Satan hated God, he cannot attack God, so he attack us to hurt God’s heart.”
- “God is very grieved when He sees His children, you and me suffering.”
[First we blamed the devil, then we explain God our Father wants to save us, because He loves us. The real gospel or good news is to reveal the truth our real enemies is not flesh and blood, and bring God’s love, His faithfulness & goodness into the message. How He wants to restore the kingdom lost at the garden of Eden, to bring the kingdom of heaven into our lives on earth right here, right now]
(4) EXPLAIN HOW MUCH OUR FATHER GOD LOVES US:
- “God who is our real Father, loves you more than your mum & dad. When He see us suffering under the devil’s attacks , He feel so sad. He wants to teach us & empower us to stop the attack of the enemy. So God clothed Himself in human flesh, He became Son of man, named Jesus, to come to this world to tell us how much our Father loves us, that we should come home to His kingdom of Heaven on earth (adapted from the parable of prodigal son)”
- “To come home to God, and enter His kingdom, first we must believe and accept God become a man , Jesus Christ , to die for our sins.”
- “Jesus is the gift of love from your real Father in heaven. Not a tiny teeny love. But a tsunami of love from Him to you.”
- “Imagine if you see your little child drop into the sea & you don’t know how to swim, would you still jump into the sea to save?” “Our Father God is precisely like that! Jesus is God clothed Himself in human flesh to save you. Great is His love for you!”
(5) EXPLAINING STEPS OF RECEIVING SALVATION
- “We must accept Jesus Christ as having paid for our sins, which are washed away by His blood. Jesus died went to hell 3 day 3 night, and rose again to heaven, so that you don’t need to go hell when you die one day.”
- “Then when you believe these things in your heart and confess with your mouth, together with me, all your sins will be instantly washed away, you become a holy and clean inside. The Holy Spirit which is the Spirit of God, or the Spirit of Jesus enters your body, and recreates your human spirit into a brand new human spirit. The Holy Spirit of God will lives inside your cleansed & perfect human spirit. You will have 2 spirit inside you – your own human spirit and God’s Holy Spirit. God’s powerful Holy Spirit can then protects you from the attack of Satan. God’s Holy Spirit is like a flame of fire protecting you?”
[Pause for mental digestion]
Comment:
- The gospel must be preached as a Father’s love gift for His lost children.
- Jesus sacrifice Himself to bring us into the kingdom of Heaven is an act of sacrificial love.
- God’s agape love is perfect love, it will cast out all fear & also heal emotional wounds in the hearer’s ear.
[Note that Jesus also taught Nicodemus that we must be born again to enter kingdom of heaven]
(6) BENEFITS OF ENTERING HIS KINGDOM
“Do you want the Holy Spirit to come inside your body , so you have 2 spirits inside you? The Holy Spirit of God & your own spirit. The Holy Spirit brings the kingdom of heaven inside you, or connect you to God directly.”
“He will guide you and protect you all the days of your life.”
“You become a new person , you start afresh. All your past mistakes are wiped away. The devil cannot accuse you of what you did in the past. Your past mistake is gone in God’s eyes. You are a new creation, new human spirit today!”
”You become holy to Him. You don’t care if other people still remember your past mistakes. In God’s eyes, you are wiped clean and made holy before him. You start afresh. You enter His kingdom immediately. You can start calling Him Father God or Abba Father. You can converse with Him immediately. Tell Him your problems. He loves to hear your voice. He missed your calling Him “Abba Abba”. Before you were born into this world, you were created in heaven & you used to call Him Abba Father”
“Would you like to receive Jesus as a love gift & enter into this Father-son relationship with your real Father God?”
(7) BASIS OF REPENTING FROM OTHER RELIGIONS – WE HAVE ONLY 1 FATHER
- “Do you want that God your Father be your only Father God? And Jesus Christ is Your only savior? Means you now only have only 1 religion? Because Your Father God is a jealous God. Because how can you call God your Father & at same time call other gods your father too?’ “God’s heart will be so hurt. How do you feel if your children call you papa & call another stranger papa too?”
Comment:
- If the person wants Jesus, but not willing to renounce other gods, lead him to pray a simple prayer to ask Jesus to prove He is real, expel anything inside his body which is killing his health, stealing his finance, destroying his relationships. If Jesus prove that He is real, he will accept Him.
- Don’t rush or pressurize a person to accept Jesus , coz this kind of pressurizing is like a jezebel spirit or a controlling spirit – it makes a non-believer becoming repulsive to hearing the gospel in future.
(8) READY TO REPENT OF ALL SINS AND ACCEPTING JESUS AS ONLY LORD
- “If yes & you are willing, just follow me repeating the same words. But you must mean it, you must genuinely feel sorry unto God. Rend your heart as you repent , watch how I do it with my expression.” “Say together with me. Father God, I repent, I am very sorry for all these years worshipping other gods. I also am sorry of sinning against you all these years (3x) I am so sorry.”
- “Now I want You as my only God & Father. Now I accept Jesus as Your gift for taking away all my sins. Now I accept Jesus as Lord and savior of my life. I want the Holy Spirit to come inside me & make my spirit a new person, and be born again.”
- “I now believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus has died for my sins & rose again to heaven on third day. Thank you for this gift of love Father God. I accept it with gratitude.”
- “Now I want Jesus to become my only Lord and savior. Jesus let Your Holy Spirit come take over my body, my mind and emotions, my will, my entire soul in Jesus’ name.(Repeat x3) . Possess me completely Spirit of Christ Jesus (repeat 3 times). Amen.”
(9) BAPTISM OF FIRE & HOLY SPIRIT
(BURNING AWAY CHAFFS ,DROSS & CLOTHING WITH POWER –Read Isaiah 4:4-5 , Matt 3:11-12/ Luke 24:49)
“Now I am going to baptize you with fire of Holy Spirit to purge away any unholy things inside you & ask Holy Spirit to cloth you with His power, I will say these words, and I will breathe on you as in John 20:22” “Do you want the fire?”
“I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit”
[Comment: Breathe on the recipient as in John 20:22]
“Say with me – Father God, I declare by faith in Jesus Christ, I am already purchased & redeemed with the blood of Jesus, I belong to Jesus, I belong to kingdom of Jesus Christ.”
“Lord Jesus, let Your Hly Spirit come like a fire, let Your holy fire burn away any demonic presence in my body, mind, emotions & will. Please let your Holy Spirit come upon me & inside me like a fire and a wind, come inside me now. Cleanse me completely.
“In Jesus’ mighty name, I command all unclean spirits, evil spirits, spirit of fear, spirit of worries , anxieties, spirits of sickness, spirit of pains, spirit of lack, spirits of strifes, I command them to leave me right now”
“Repeat after me, I declare by faith, Father God, I have received Your Holy Spirit.”
Comment:
Those who have demonic presence inside them will usually cough violently, burp or fart, when these words are spoken. Some may vomit violently – get ready a plastic bag. There will be no violent manifestation, if you conduct deliverance after preaching gospel of repentance & kingdom.
(10) BREAKING GENERATION CURSES AND SPECIFIC BONDAGES
- “Now let’s break some generational curses immediately, please read aloud Gal 3:13-14. Because only when curses are broken, demons have no legal rights to return”
- “Say together. Father God, thank You that thru Jesus, He had bore all the curses of my past sins. So now I declare by the blood of Jesus, all the curses in my life are removed, including the generational curses of worshiping idols.”
- “As royal priesthood, I release blessings upon my life, my job, my family in Jesus’name. I declare I am blessed with every spiritual blessings”
- “Now do you have any open doors to repent?” “Any addictions to smoking, gambling, uncontrollable anger, a spirit of pride, things you know is damaging your relationships or finance or health, but you can’t control?” “If there is, we can repent unto God for 30 seconds, then after shutting open doors, we will command the spirit of strife , spirit of anger, spirit of addiction that cause the broken relationship, or spirit of sickness, or spirit of lack to get out and never return. And the Holy Spirit will expel the evil spirits when we command them.” “The kingdom of Heaven will come upon you”.
(11) CLOSING INSTRUCTIONS
- “Now that you have received the Holy Spirit, do not doubt or confess that you don’t have Holy Spirit, or Jesus didn’t died for your sins. Because once you confess that, you lose everything.”
- “Now that you have become a Christian, I recommend you read the book of John, then follow by book of Mark, to learn about the Holy Spirit and also learn how the kingdom of heaven on earth operates, learn how to release the kingdom of heaven on earth through cooperating with the Holy Spirit”.
- “And please join a tongue speaking church & cell group too”
- “I also like to bring you to attend a new believer class and learn more about the teachings of Jesus. How you can walk closer with Jesus and with His precious Holy Spirit”.
