The Faith Factor: Winning Souls
There was a time when my daughter, lady Jess, prayed for her daddy to trust Jesus as his Savior. I heard her praying one night when she was just six years old. She was kneeling over the bedside sobbing! I have never seen a child so young pray so hard before. During those difficult years of our lives, her faith grew so big!
The prayers of children are so sweet. If you have a young sibling or even a cousin who is younger, take some time to pray with them and really listen to what they are saying to the Lord. Their hearts are so tender.
We each need to have our faith grow. The Bible says in Romans 10:17, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
So how do we increase our faith? By hearing the Word of God.
1. Read your Bible faithfully. Read it out loud.
2. Memorize scripture and quote it to your family and friends.
3. Listen to good teaching or preaching tapes or CD’s.
4. Pay attention in church service and take notes. When you go home take your notes and reflect upon what the Lord gave you. Re-read the verses the teacher/preacher shared with you and pray about how God might be speaking to you.
If we want our faith to grow then we need to practice what God teaches us, hearing His Word.
As your faith grows, you will begin to walk by faith and not by sight. Faith is believing without seeing.
Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
If you have read any of our past articles from The Faith Factor you’ll know that we emphasize sharing the Gospel with others. If you pray for God to cross your path with someone who wants to get saved, He will do that! God wants people saved and if we, as Christians, really want to lead a person to Christ, then just pray and ask God to use you to do that. Each day pray about it. As you come across someone, the Holy Spirit will guide you and tell you who to talk to. Be bold! Don’t be nervous, Christ has gone before you and begun a work in their heart about it. You have the victory, just claim it!
If you make winning souls a priority, He will use you to accomplish that task.

Leave us a reply and we will pray for God to use you to lead a soul to Christ.
Be sure to come back and tell us once God has used you to lead a person to the Lord so we may rejoice with you!
Here is a way I have been able to lead a person tot he Lord using the M&M Story. I have attached a link to the PDF version of the M&M Story at the end of that article for you to take and memorize.
