Do you desire to know Father God and receive
His gift
of eternal life?
Do you wish to encourage others to
seek a personal relationship with Heavenly Father through the Lord
Jesus Christ?
You may be asking yourself, "How can I know I have received the gift of Salvation?"
How can I know?
Ask
the
most
important
question...
Has anyone
ever told you that God loves you
and that He has
a wonderful plan for your life?
Ask
the
2nd
most important
question...
If you were to die this very second, do you know
for sure, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you would go to Heaven?
Ask
the 3nd most important
question...
Do you really desire a personal
relationship with Christ the Son of God?
Here is
what God has instructed us in His Holy Word...
Rom 10:8-13 AMP
The Word (God's
message in
Christ) is near you, on your lips and in your heart; that is, the Word
(the message, the basis and object)
of faith which we preach, [Deut
30:14.]
9 Because
if you
acknowledge and
confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart
believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised
Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with
the heart a
person
believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is
justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth
he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and
confirms [his] salvation.
11 The
Scripture says,
No man
who believes in Him [who adheres to, relies on, and trusts in Him] will
[ever] be put to shame or be disappointed. [Ps 34:22; Isa 28:16; 49:23;
Jer 17:7.]
12[No one] for there is no
distinction between Jew and Greek. The same Lord is Lord over all
[of
us] and He generously bestows His riches upon all who call upon Him [in
faith].
13 For
everyone who calls
upon
the name of the Lord [invoking Him as Lord]
will be
saved. [Joel
2:32.]

Perhaps, you already know you are "born
again' by the Holy Spirit of God and you have been thinking about the
following questions:
► How can my
friends get to know Jesus Christ?
► How can I reach people I do not even
know?
► I want to help them, but what
should I say?
► I am uneasy? What
might they think or say?
One of City
of Lights ministries is to equip you to overcome insecurities to the
above questions.
How can this be?
You can make the Free
School of
the Prophetic Voice and Newsletters an enrichment experience

Lights, and the support of your TEAM
associates will enhance your
spiritual growth in the Greatest Christ centered Adventure

from
your
home!
(Rom.
1:16)
As
Apostle Paul describes it best, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel,
because it is the
power of God for the salvation of everyone who
believes...
You do know that The Gospel is not about
you... It is all about the Glory of God, right?
When we get His
perspective of why we are a believer, then we no longer see
ourselves
in a "hot seat!"
Our focus is directed to Him and His plan and not on
ourselves.
We can confidently relax as we share a non-confrontational
message of
the most
valuable treasure...
Life more
abundantly today and Life eternal.

There
are
tools
(scripts)
to help you whether you wish to relate to others on the
internet or to relate
to them in person. Scripts are
prepared below to
help you to be a "fisherman" of "men" and do it
in a manner that
is fruitful. The following is a direct personal approach
to soul winning that is
proven effective in many cities already this
year!
Did you know, the most
powerful application of communication is
demonstrated when
you...
Ask
a
question?
However, the
answer must be relevant to the interrogatory.
If I ask you
the
following two questions, and you sincerely try to accurately answer
them,
you will experience the dynamic power that are
contained in questions.
Is Your
Confidence
Being Shaken?
Are You Struggling
Just to Hang On to Life?
This letter
will
show you how you can change your circumstances and solve your
problems.
But first… are you are willing to change?
Can you find a way
to get through the uncertainties of life?
Is it really
possible to do so?
Yes!
The secret to
your
Future is decided by whose voice you believe.
A life in
Jesus
Christ changes all things.
How can
this be?
The Lord wants to
show His grace and love to draw us to Himself. God is willing to
make Himself
known to you to let you know His heart and His mind!
Is that not awesome?
But know… He wants you to honor Him… put Him
first.
He wants you
to spend time with Him,
personally. You can walk in the confidence of
Him right here and now! It is your privilege to be
what He is in
this world!
(1 John
4:17)
What is He in
this world?
He is Life… not
life like you know it, but Life in abundance, in spirit and truth…
Life
of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.
There is nothing
that will bring you more confidence than a life that is dedicated and
pleasing to
God. Look at How much He loves and cares for you…
“Now this is the
confidence that
we have in Him. That if we ask
anything according to His Will,
He hears us. And if we know He
hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions
(requests) that we have asked of Him. (1
John
5:14-15)
But, did you know… you cannot ask with confidence until there is
harmony between you
and
God? What makes us unable to have confidence is
disobedience
and rebellion to God and to His
ways. He wants you to become
new in your heart, mind and body. He has a peace treaty waiting
for all of mankind
to accept.
But, Did you know…When you have made peace by accepting His gift
of His
Son into your
life
you become changed? You see things differently. Your
desires
bring you into a life of victory!
You overcome your circumstances
through believing God and acting in His ways. The way to
know
Father God is to
know His Son, Jesus Christ.
But, Did you know…God’s ways are not our ways? God’s
promises
are to
those who honor Him
and seek Him for His plan and purposes for their
lives. God’s promises never fail. There is a faith
that rests in
you when you
believe God. It is His presence that releases strength and
wisdom.
Do you want this
awesome wonderful faith working in your life?
Your Future is
decided by whose voice you choose to believe...
But…Only
believe His voice! His voice is
recorded in the Holy
Bible.
It is the voice of faith! Faith comes by hearing,
and hearing by
the Word of God. (Romans 10:7)
Faith is the power that gives you
confidence to overcome. Faith does not come from your speaking
a lot of
positive things. It comes from your fellowship with God the Holy
Spirit. There is a wonderful
fellowship with Jesus just waiting
for you to speak to Him and ask Him to forgive you. The main
thing is that you take time to talk with Him and to learn
of Him.
Talking with Jesus and reading His
Word gives you Life.
Without the act of faith, you miss out on seeing the situation
changed.
In faith,
Jesus can heal any situation.
But…You must give Him opportunity. He will meet you
in your
absolute helplessness.
He wants to help you. All things are
possible if you only believe. “And whatever things you ask
in prayer,
believing, you will receive." (Matthew 21:22) Jesus is greater than all
the powers of
darkness, sickness, diseases and lack. He wants to fill
you with His presence and His power.
He wants you to walk in
confidence in a new life. Faith releases God’s power to overcome
all
situations. Jesus is greater than any occasion. He
is waiting
for an opportunity to bless you.
He is ready to deliver your soul
to Father God by way of a supernatural change in your spirit.
He wants
to baptize you in the Holy Ghost. Through faith in the Name of Jesus…
your confidence
becomes whole. Go your way; and as you believe, so let
it be done to you. Through the Name of
Jesus, a new order of confidence
and Life can be brought within you!
Father God has made it easy for You to enter into the
Kingdom of
Heaven. His love has made the
way for you to claim the full,
rich, abundant life He offers to all in His Son, Jesus Christ. You do
not
have to qualify with a whole list of things to do.
It is
simple, believe with your whole heart, soul and
mind and speak that God
sent His Son to you to forgive your sins... repent and make Him the
Lord
of your life. As you do, you are born of the Spirit
and all
things become new! God, the Holy Spirit
supernaturally enters you
and you enter the New Life in the Spirit!
Do you want to
experience this new life of confidence?

obeyed the
command of salvation?

How
To..
Do you think there is anyone on
the
internet that does not have an email address?
There
would be very few, right? That
knowledge
is
power! Most
people
have
an address book
of
family, friends and
acquaintances.
Would you
consider a non-confrontational approach to evangelism a powerful
and valuable
way to communicate with others?
What would be a
non-confrontational approach?
For
example,
a
non-confrontational
way
to present the Gospel
would be to send a friendly
message
about the sample post illustrated below...
Reference to a
picture, a
statement, or a podcast from one of City of Lights linked
webpage presents
a topic for discussion in an email, forum or
blog. It can
be a valuable asset to use
to
reach others for Christ. Doing this will "take you out of a direct
confrontation."
Are you ready to learn how?
There are many subject
matters
from which you can choose
to design a question.
Want
to see an example? Make this survey your personal "trial run."
For
starters, send it to a friend or family member from your email address

Title
of your
post: Want to get someone's attention?
[Start of post]
I was surfing the other day
and came across an interesting discussion
as to whether
I knew
the most powerful way
to get someone's attention.
They gave me a most unusual challenge.
They suggested I check out the following
webpage:
http://www.thepropheticvoice.com
There were art pictures, many
questions, bible quotations and references
and some podcasts
posted to demonstrate
the
beginning
of
knowledge
about the Revelation
of
Light. Have you ever thought about a Revelation about Light?
I was challenged to
think
about the deeper meaning of Life.
Do
you wonder
about the deeper meaning of life?
One of the keys
they gave was that my future is decided
by
whose
voice I have chosen
to believe.
Would you help me with a personal
survey by doing me a favor?
Check
out the podcast "Revelation of Light" and get back with
me with your impressions
and experiences. I
will
most
sincerely appreciate your responses. Thank you.

What do you have to lose by testing the
approach of a "trial email"?
A
better
question
is
what do you have to gain?
Answer: You may gain a closer
relationship
and depending upon the spiritual status,
you
may save a sinner by leading them
to Christ!
You may have just found one of the individuals of your TEAM!

Low Key or
Non-Confrontational Evangelism
Simple and friendly email offer...
For those who want to experience
an
exciting way to share the Love of
Christ
with other people, but are
not comfortable to do so in a face to face
situation,
here is an "assignment" in
which
to
participate.
First, are you willing to
contact us
and
become a Greater Works TEAM participant?
You may work independently, however, there is power in working
in the
TEAM
structure. Jesus gave apostles, prophets, evangelists,
shepherds, and teachers for
Team ministry. The Book of the Acts demonstrates the sending of
Teams to cities
and
regions. We genuinely want to hear from you. If you
use the scripts, we
want
to hear back from you as to
the dynamics and results of the assignment.
We are offering a support Team in which you may work.
Our goal is to challenge you to use the creative graces that the
Lord has given you.

Dear
(name),
Would
you
help
me
with an assignment?
I was
recently introduced to an interesting website
listed on the
internet as the City of Lights...
www.virtualcityoflights.com
It is really
different than what I thought the City of Lights would be.
I am doing a
personal survey with those in my address book
to see
what other's
may guess the City of Lights is all about.
Would you
be willing to help me?
Please
take a
look at the questions and answers below.
Would
you
agree that
the name of the website beckons questions such as...
What does virtual city of lights
mean? [Yes or No]
Is the City of
Lights Paris France? [Yes or No]
Where is the Virtual City of Lights?
[Yes or No]
If you
answered Yes to all three questions, you were like me.
This City of Lights website is about the Kingdom of Heaven.
It was an eye opener to me!
Do you remember how
Jesus used parables to teach?
He
concluded
His teachings with...
"He
that
has
ears to hear, let him hear,"
and
"Hear
what
the Spirit is saying to the churches."
Are you interested
in learning about the Kingdom of Heaven? [Yes or No]
If
you
are,
here is
the link to the webpage: www.virtualcityoflights.com
It really is an eye opener!
(end
of
post)
(start
of
email
Post)
(Name
individual
email
is addressed),
I
signed
up
for the Prophetic Voice Newsletter
so I could learn more about Life, Truth and Spirit
in the Kingdom of
Heaven.
Would you let me know when you have visited the site?
It will help me as part of the survey
and I have other questions I would like to ask you.
If you have any questions for me, let me know.
Thank you for assisting with my assignment.
Could you reply to me by (give a day to reply...it shows
the
necessity of the reply)
the TEAM is counting on me to complete our survey.
(Your Custom Signature)
[end
of
post]
Remember, this is a starting
place.
For those who report back to you, you will have an opportunity
to ask
them if they
would help you in testing the dynamics of the assignment.
To test is to evaluate the results.
Did the instructions and the
actions taken accomplish the desired goals?
1.
Did the assignment open the door to begin
talking about the Gospel?
2. Did you hear back from anyone?
3. Did you find this exercise helpful and
non-confrontational?
4. Did you use the resources of the City of
Lights webpage to stimulate dialog?
5. Did they request the Prophetic Voice
Newsletter?
It
is discipleship to which Jesus directs the activities of the Church
at large.
City of Lights is formulated to cover the biblical historical
and
spiritual applications
of Christ.
Proverbs
9:10-11 AMP
The
reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is the beginning (the
chief and choice
part) of
Wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is
insight and understanding.
For
by
me [Wisdom from God] your days shall be multiplied, and the
years of your life
shall be increased.
Jesus is the lover of our souls and
it is He through the Holy Spirit
who administrates
the increase given by Father God!
(Hopefully, those with whom you shared the site Url would have
searched
it
and have read this narrative.)
[The
examples on this webpage may be
freely used.
Please
be
free to put your personality and way of saying things into
them.
Use as is, or
make them your own. Redesign them if you choose.]
=======================================
In the Great Commission,
Jesus instructed believers to make Christ
followers.
We are to reproduce ourselves as ambassadors of Christ!
Even the
Angels
celebrate when someone is rescued from the powers of darkness
into the
Light!
Ephesians 5:9 AMP
For
the
fruit (the effect, the product) of the Light or the Spirit
[consists] in every form
of kindly goodness, uprightness of heart, and
trueness of life.
If
you are not currently seeking to be a part of a TEAM that is active in
evangelism,
we encourage you to do so. It will bring much delight to you!
You do not have to be on the "confrontational edge" to share the Gospel
of Christ!
God gave His Son the Body...the church and He gave spiritual gifts to
accomplish the
callings... that is why we encourage you to read TEAM Leaders.
When you
become a part of a TEAM...
Together
Everyone
Accomplishes
More!
Do
you
want
to build
another skill to use the path of evangelism being demonstrated?
Let
us
do
it
together... Our target may be one of three: forums, blogs
or emails.
We first must have an account established in the digital vehicle we
choose to use.
Let's click over to the webpage: Revelation
of Light for the Questions posed.
Please take some time to survey the page. It is rich in spiritual
language.
This language is derived from the parts of speech and tense uses of
words
based upon three ancient languages...Hebrews, Aramaic and Greek.
We study the participle and root forms of the words of these three
languages
to determine their meanings in the scriptures which have been
translated to English.
The languages of the Bible and subsequently of the Church of Jesus
Christ is not a language of jargon. It is spiritual and holy
language. As members of the Body of Christ,
it is important that we learn this spiritual language now translated to
English.
This learning process is foundational to the decree Jesus
gave when he charged His believers to discipleship. He instructed
that we become disciples.
All of the
content of the Revelation of Light page is supported by
accessing us with the "Contact Us" button. You have the
support and the resource of the Body.
We are here
to help you to reach others and to provide a path for
teaching and demonstrating the Kingdom of Heaven. We are your
TEAM extension. However, you
and only you have the keys to
activate the support! Our actions demonstrates our
level of
faith. God is all about Faith! The mechanics and the dynamics
of
the TEAMs
will be strengthened as others become an active part of the greater
works Ministry of Light.
Our charge is
to build!
The Lord's Gospel and the Apostle Paul's
letters instruct us how we
are to build.
=======================================
Let us now return to
the questions and develop the pattern for
non-confrontational evangelism. Here is a list of those questions from
the Revelation of Light webpage:
►Have you searched God's purposes, patterns, and principles of the
Kingdom
of
Heaven to learn what He has
provided?
►What
is the 3rd Dimension?
►What
is Jubilee?
►A
Double Portion?
►Do you burn within?
►Fire
in Bones?
►Do you have plans
for eternity?
►What are the secrets and mysteries of the
Kingdom of Heaven?
►Eternity, what is it?
►Eternity, what
defines it?
►Eternity,
how
can
we understand it?
►What is a created
man?
► Would
you like to see more
into
the mysteries of Light?
►Are
you
interested in knowledge that
can release added
strength
into
your pursuit of success in all areas of
your life?
►What is Covenant?
►How does Covenant apply to me?
►Did you know that the
Bible was written and compiled
to
give
mankind an understanding of things
past,
present and
future in regard to the physical
world and the spirit
world?
►Did you know the mind will attack the
Word of God , call it myths and allegories?
►How can we find answers to the great
mysteries about these topics?
►What is a "new
creature", a "new creation"?
►What is Life in the
Spirit?
►How can I understand this language of the Kingdom of Heaven?
Here is a
pattern to use:
1.
Begin all your posts with a question.
example: What is a created man?
2. Ask
a question... it elicits help from others.
The
question
will get another's attention.
example: Have you studied the
marvelous works of
biological
and
physiological
processes? I find it
so amazing how everything
functions
in
such precise and intricate order
don't you?
3. Make
statements followed with qualifiers.
example: I found myself on an interesting website
the
other day.
Have
you
ever heard of the City of Lights?
They
gave
such an interesting explanation to the
creation of mankind.
(Always use the
power of two. Point to another source as presenting
the
topic
for discussion. It keeps you
out of direct confrontation.
It
keeps
you out of the "hot seat.")
They
did...
They
showed...
They
said...
They
are...
They
can...
Their
proof...
Their
example...
Their
opinion...
4.
Non-confrontational evangelism requires us to be humble,
but
not
to lie about our
abilities. Knowledge is always so wide, high,
long and
deep that we can truly say we do not know
it all. Right?
example: I did not realize how little I understood
about the Bible in the
account of Adam and Eve on
their webpage:
They
revealed
so much about myself and some of the
deeper
meanings of life.
Have you ever thought about Adam and Eve
in regard to...?
5. Give a
statement, or a personal reaction or ask another relevant
question.
example: Are you interested in spiritual truth? or
the deeper
meanings of life? Where does one start looking
for it?
The
information on http://www.thepropheticvoice.com/websitedirectory.html
helped
me
understand what they were
saying about the divine
order of the creation of the body, soul and spirit of
an
individual.
I
was
especially enlightened by their statements about the
"mind of the
spirit." Did you know that our mind had a spirit?
6. Ask
them to return for more dialog.
example: I would genuinely appreciate
hearing from you.
I am part of a TEAM seeking responses to
help gather reactions
to the principles of divine order of the
creation of body, soul and spirit.
May we talk further about...?
[end of pattern]
Online we must go where non-believers are socially interacting if we
are
to gain significant audience for the Gospel. The fact remains, to
reach others we must go where we can meet them on their ground.
Our
goal
is to build an interactive
relationship with others,
not
to
engage in lengthy philosophical discussions or doctrinal
disputes. Our goal is peaceful dialog.
Please do not "engage" religious
spirits. Simply offer these "kinds"
opportunity to visit the City of Lights.
We are interested in hungry, thirsty and
teachable spirits.
We need to go out and communicate with the world. For the most
part,
the email "pass
it on game" that consumes so many Christians on the internet is not
an effective stewardship of time. If each Christian dedicated to
processing the "pass-ons" would come into relationship with the
TEAMs and divide their time spent using the non-confrontational tools
presented, there would be an explosion of 'new converts' into the
Kingdom of
Heaven!
The power of the Gospel is in its being spoken. Faith comes by
hearing and hearing comes by the Word of God. Your mind is
processing these written words as "words being spoken to the spirit
mind."
Please read the webpage Ministers on Fire
to obtain a deeper understanding as to how serious it is as to where
we spend our time and how the expense of time we are given
relates to
objectives. The Law of Seedtime and Harvest is a universal
eternal Law.
It does not limit itself to money.
We need to communicate with the world. How can we
practically
initiate
and
develop friendship with non-believers and then
realistically, reverently and lovingly explain to them the Gospel of
Christ?
1. We must have a sincere desire and take actions to train
ourselves
to be led by the Holy Spirit in how,
where and when to share our
faith.
2. Do we personally have
the skills and the faith to do so?
If
not,
we must ask ourselves...why not?
This webpage was developed to help reach the lost
and begin to build relationship.
The
City
of Lights is for your
edification
that you may not only grow in spiritual knowledge, but that you are
equipped and
encouraged to do the work of the ministry.
Getting involved in a niche group developing friendships is not a major
task.
The challenge is to "break" the cycles of our habits and thoughts that
we
are not able to do new things...especially share the Gospel online and
directly with another.
As you become a TEAM player in the body of this vision:
1. You will have support and encouragement.
2. You will develop new skills.
3. You will have relationship for counsel.
4. You will find success in sharing the Gospel.
5. You will travel to nations without leaving home!
6. You will rejoice with the angels as souls are returned to
God's
Kingdom!
7. You will make a contribution by becoming new friends to those
in need and may become a part of your spiritual
family!
Proverbs
18:24 He who has friends must be a friend himself.
We cannot expect to impose our behavior patterns on others.
Friendship develops in a give and take relationship. We can be
freinds
without compromise in a non-Christian social setting. We must be
willing
to be guests of a non-believer and interact in their social setting.
We are not condoning the filth site of pornography and other abusive
perverted uses of the internet. There are millions of forums,
blogs and
websites whereby we can "connect' with the non-believer.
Here are some questions to consider as you "count the opportunities"
available to you without having to canvas neighborhoods, crusade malls
and search for face to face settings to participate in the
Great Commission to reach souls.
[However, these type
encounters are
appropriate as God leads us to build the Kingdom in our local
environments. The first script on this webpage is an effective
and powerful tool for these purposes!]
(note: the
reference following are non gender.)
► For whom am I praying by name everyday
asking the Holy Spirit
to
open
his eyes and change his will until they receive Jesus Christ?
► Is there any one person with whom I am
seeking opportunities
to show the love of Christ?
► Am I willing to take the further
initiative to communicate the Gospel
to him as the Holy Spirit gives
opportunity?
► Am
I absence of vital contact with non-believers?
If you
follow our leadership, you will avail yourself to a whole new
experience in life!
You will find a peace, joy and fulfillment at a level that will bring
newness
of life into your being.
Remember that you once were afar off from the knowledge and saving
grace
of Christ. As you begin to develop new skills and
relationships
both with TEAM Leaders and with those whom you connect to share
the love of God... great delight will fill your soul.
The Lord will give you
His wonderful peace.
Most people resent being trapped in a one way conversation by someone
who moves in and expounds their theme without even bothering to find
out if the listener is interested. Don't you resent it, too?
We start wondering if the speaker cares about us at all or if he just
wants to hear his favorite little speech again.
We must work positively and patiently to establish mutual interest with
others... beginning first where their interests reside.
God Bless You,
Ambassador of
Christ
