Willie Daviz INTRODUCTION ENCOUNTER WITH CHRIST! The "Encounter-Method" is based on the faithfulness of the Holy Spirit. He is the One Who makes soul-winning Easy. The hardest part is trusting Him to make Christ real and then act as though you really believe it. For example, the man convienced that God's Spirit alone convicts of sin, does not pile up Scripture verses in an attempt to bring to conviction himself. Instead, He trusts the Holy Spirit to do His part and relaxes in those matters. Satisfied that the Spirit does these things, a worker can breeze through steps which bog down most workers and concentrates on bringing his prospects to the place where he can FACE the Saviour. Most evangelicals agree it is what a man DO” sith Christ that counts. Therefore the urgent thing is escorting him quickly to the place where he can DO SOMETHING with the Saviour waiting to enter his heart. This method focuses on the ENCOUNTER with CHRIST. Now the person not trusting the Holy and make Christ real, finds soul-winning like the "Encounter-Method". For as you you'll find you can leave all those things Spirit to verify the word, convict of sin fearful and overwhelming. But you'll trust the Spirit of God more and more, entirely to Him. You may feel clumsy at first. But in a short time, experience will show just how much of the work is done by the Holy Spirit. At least you'll see Him as the real soul-winner. The anointing og God will make the task thrilling. You;ll like watching the supernatural before your eyes. From then on, life will hold no greater joy for you than presenting the Lord Jesus. ..
