Holy Spirit Evangelism

Have you ever known anyone who was so radical about Jesus, and sharing His message, that it seemed like they took the "machine gun" approach to evangelism? It's almost like any person that happens to be standing around will be assaulted with the truth claims of Jesus, ready or not! Maybe you've driven downtown and seen the people holding signs outside of certain establishments condemning everyone to hell. I think it is vital to share the message of hope and forgiveness we have through Jesus, but I think there's so much more to it than a simple mass assault. Leading a person into saving knowledge of Jesus Christ is not a game. It's not something that we can justify away by saying, "at least I shared Christ." If all you are doing is dropping "Gospel bombs" on people and waiting until the dust clears to see who has been impacted, then I can assure you that you are not being as effective as you could be. Could it be that God is more interested in you listening to His leading to influence specific people at specific times, rather than simply being an evangelism superstar for a few hours on a Saturday night? I believe that God is in the business of supernaturally drawing people to himself and he employs us to accomplish a great deal of the work. Are we listening? When God says go, do we know to where He's sending us? When God says hold off and wait, are we listening, so that we won't do damage? Is God burdening us with specific people to share His love with? I believe that if you can't share the Gospel with those people who you are constantly around, then you have no business doing the work of evangelism, because it starts with those closest to us, those that we have the most influence over. Acts 16:6vv, "Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to...During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." Simple Application: Let the Holy Spirit lead you to those that He wants you to be a witness. I promise you'll be more effective!
