3. Soul winning is a
spiritual task.
The Evil One deceives people.
He distorts the truth of God. He twists
and alters God’s message “just enough”
to damn you.
Matthew 13:1 9, “When anyone hears
the word of the kingdom and does not
understand it, the evil one comes and
snatches away what has been sown
in his heart. This is what was sown
along the path. “
And because it is spiritual in nature,
we have an unseen enemy who
continually opposes us, Satan.
What does Satan do?
Acts 13:10, “…and said,
“You son of the devil, you
enemy of all righteousness,
full of all deceit and villainy,
will you not stop making
crooked the straight paths
of the Lord?
He snatches away whatever Word has been planted in a person’s heart so it
cannot bear the fruit of salvation. He hinders a person’s understanding of
spiritual truth in order to keep him lost.

4. He lies about God’s
truth and always
mixes truth with
error.
Read John 8:44

5. “
You are of your father the devil, and
your will is to do your father's desires.
He was a murderer from the beginning,
and does not stand in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When
he lies, he speaks out of his own
character, for he is a liar and the father
of lies. John 8:44 5

6. what
weapons
we need
to bring?
God has provided the
necessary weapons we need to
win this war against the
Enemy. But these are not
conventional weapons.
6

7. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
3 For though we walk in the
flesh, we are not waging war
according to the flesh. 4 For
the weapons of our warfare
are not of the flesh but have
divine power to destroy
strongholds. 5 We destroy
arguments and every lofty
opinion raised against the
knowledge of God, and take
every thought captive to obey
Christ,
Strategic part to play
in waging war against
Satan…
Ephesians 6:12-13
12 For we do not wrestle
against flesh and blood, but
against the rulers, against the
authorities, against the cosmic
powers over this present
darkness, against the spiritual
forces of evil in the heavenly
places. 13 Therefore take up
the whole armor of God, that
you may be able to withstand
in the evil day, and having
done all, to stand firm.

8. What can these weapons do?
⬡Destroy fortresses of lies and deceit
⬡Destroy every conjecture, idea, thought that does
not come from God no matter how lofty or
intelligent
⬡Bring every thought captive to obedience of
Christ
What are the only weapons that can do this?
8

9. What are the only weapons
that can do this?
PRAYER
Our prayers of
intercession that are
offered up to God are
like destructive
missiles to the
Enemy’s plans and
strategies against the
Gospel.
Colossians 4:3
At the same time,
pray also for us, that
God may open to us
a door for the word,
to declare the
mystery of Christ, on
account of which I
am in prison
Remember the saying,
“When we work, we
work, when we pray
God works”.
9

10. Who opens the
door for the
Gospel?
The task of sharing the
Gospel is a spiritual
assignment and we must
pray that God works to
open doors of men’s hearts.
10

11. 11
There must be prayer
cover before, during and
after you share the
Gospel because Satan
will oppose you and do
all he can to hinder that
person’s salvation.

12. Acts 14:23,27
12
23 In each church they appointed elders, and with
prayers and fasting they commended them to the
Lord, in whom they had put their trust. 27 When they
arrived in Antioch, they gathered the people of the
church together and told them about all that God
had done with them and how he had opened the
way for the Gentiles to believe.

13. 13
Have you
ever tried to
share the Gospel without
praying beforehand?
What difficulties and
hindrances did you
encounter?

14. Our second
divine weapon
is:
THE HOLY SPIRIT’S
INTERCESSION
14

15. We must remember it is the Holy
Spirit who draws people to the
truth and the Savior.
Acts 1:8
But when the Holy Spirit has come
upon you, you will receive power to
testify about ME with great effect, to
the people in Jerusalem, throughout
Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of
the earth, about my death and
resurrection.
John 15:26-27
But I will send you the
Comforter--the Holy
Spirit, the source of all
truth. He will come to
you from the Father and
will tell you all about ME.
And you will bear
witness also because
you have been with ME
from the beginning.
15

16. He has made us
witnesses to His
purpose and plan
and He expects us to
pass this truth to
others.
the main character is Jesus Christ not
you or your life’s story.

17. What does
the Holy
Spirit do
when we
pray for
unbelievers?
17

18. “
And when he has come he will convince
the world of its sin, and of the
availability of God's goodness, and of
deliverance from judgment. The world's
sin is unbelief in me. The Holy Spirit is
the only One who can convict people of
and their need of salvation.
John 16:8-9 18

19. What are
some ways
people
believe about
Jesus but not in Jesus?
19

20. They will not be saved
by hearing your
testimony but by the
truth of the Gospel.
Declare the complete
message of
redemption for
forgiveness and
eternal life thru Jesus.
People need to hear the
essential elements of the
Gospel in order to be
saved. The Power of the Gospel
I have complete confidence in the
gospel; it is God's power to save all
who believe, first the Jews and also
the Gentiles. 17 For the gospel
reveals how God puts people right
with himself: it is through faith from
beginning to end. As the scripture
says, “The person who is put right
with God through faith shall live.”
Romans 1:16-17
20

21. REFLECT/APPLICATION:
PRAYER
We can be
continuously praying
for someone’s
salvation and asking
the Holy Spirit to
work in that person’s
heart.
Exodus 14:15
Then the Lord said to
Moses, "Quit praying
and get the people
moving! Forward,
march!
There is a time for
praying and
there is a time
for action.
