It is been said, that testimony shared by people is a lifter of soul and spirit, it gives hope to the hopeless, faith to the faithless and encouragement to the discouraged. It is very hard to disciple people in this day and age because it takes time and commitment. Jesus disciples people for 2 or 3 years. There is no way we can get people to make that kind of commitment today.
To be able to disciple someone, you must get some kind of commitment from them. We have found that if you can get a Christian to commit to writing out their testimony and share it daily, this commitment sets the stage for the Holy Spirit to disciple them!
The first thing we challenge people to do in our 12-part discipleship teaching series is to commit to writing their testimony and being a part of a Real Life Stories Christian Testimony Book.
The second thing we do is challenge people to carry two copies of the Real Life Stories Christian Testimony in their hands every time they leave their home and every time they get out of their car.
The third thing we do is challenge them to ask the Holy Spirit to help them in the giving away the books!
The commitment to carry the books joined with the commitment to ask the Holy Spirit to help them set the stage for the Holy Spirit to be active in their life!
If a person is always carrying the Gospel message with them in the form of a Real Life Stories Christian Testimony Book, they are always trusting in the Holy Spirit to help them! This gives the Holy Spirit total access to all their Time and Daily Life!
What we accomplish during our 12 Discipleship Sessions is getting a strong commitment from the person being discipled to allow the Holy Spirit to led them into Living a Witnessing Lifestyle!
