out soul winning look people don't go soul winning why they're afraid oh I'm
afraid I'm not gonna know what to say I'm afraid somebody's gonna ask me a
question I can't answer I'm afraid that I'm gonna knock the door of someone I
know it's gonna be humiliating and look we've all knocked who's knocked the door
of someone you've known when you went out soul winning and you know and
sometimes it's a little uncomfortable but just because it's kind of weird like
people think you're stalking them or something because you know these people
and then you're just at their house like how do you know where I live what are you
doing at my house you know but I've had to have many times but you know oh I'm
afraid of this afraid of that but you know what I remember when I start soul
winning I would say probably the first year of soul winning every single week
when I went soul winning I was nervous for about the first year where literally
when I would knock on the first door out soul winning I kind of hoped that they
wouldn't be home you know what I'm talking about you know you go soul winning
and you kind of knock on the door you're kind of I don't think they're home you
know and and you're just kind of hoping that that first and I just remember the
first door my heart would be kind of pounding you've been there right hearts
kind of pounding you knock the door you kind of hope they're not home that's how
I thought I started soul winning when I was 17 and that's how I felt but after about a
year or two I got to the point where you know I just knocked that door but but by
the way even in the beginning it was only the first few doors that are like
that where you're scared and because once you kind of got warmed up you kind
of realize this isn't so bad and look the whole point of the sermon that I keep
trying to drive in on almost every point is that the stuff you're afraid of is a
phantom it's a boogeyman you know oh I'm afraid I'm gonna make a fool of myself
out so you're never gonna see these people again I mean I'd rather make a
fool of myself at the door with some stranger than when people actually know
you know I mean if it's somebody that you know have your silent partner do it
or whatever you know whatever have them handle but I'm saying that you know you
go out there and you're walking up to that first door and you're scared and
you're nervous and your heart's pounding but once you do a couple doors you're
like wow this is I mean I've talked to people where they struggled with it and
they man I don't want to go soul winning I'm scared and they were nervous and
then they came out and they're like oh is this all it's like what did you think
we were gonna be doing like we're just gonna go out and just confront people and
you know we're just gonna be in a fight every time or so I mean it's so easy so
look someone's not that hard is it I don't think it's that hard in the sense
of I mean it's hard work in the sense that strenuous but it's not hard in the
sense of you just show up you know especially I mean how hard is to be the
silent partner and look if you're not out soul winning you need to show up at
the soul winning time and be the silent partner I mean if you're afraid of that
then you're just a complete weakling and you know what the Bible says that when
they were all filled with the Holy Ghost says they spake the Word of God with
boldness and you know it tells me if you're afraid to even do something as
easy as showing up and being the silent partner tells me you're not filled with
the Holy Spirit at all because the evidence of the fullness of the Holy
Spirit is that you have boldness. He said well I'm still scared I'm nervous
pray for boldness. Paul prayed for boldness in the Bible and he asked other
people to pray for him he said pray for me that utterance will be given unto me
that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel that was
his prayer.
