How to use murder to witness the gospel

How to know
May I tell you how to know for sure you are going to heaven. Then I ask, If you died right now and went up to the gates of heaven and they asked you, Why should we let you into heaven, what would you say. This is the best question I have ever found to get to know where they really stand.

Here are some answers
"I love people", "I am doing all the good I can", "I believe in God", etc. Then I say, "Suppose someone ,molested and murdered you daughter and came before the judge and say, judge, I love people, I am doing the best I can. I do all the good I can. Can the judge say, that is fine, you can go free doing all of that." "I believe in God" and quote back to them why they think that ought to go to heaven. It is amazing how they catch on to this and see how wrong they were.

Never say, "The first thing you need to realize, you are a sinner." I read every tract I can. Most start out by saying, the first thing you need to know is your are a sinner." When you do that you have slapped them in the face. They become defensive and is why so many never lead someone to Christ

This works
I use this all the time and never have someone not admit they have sinned. I say, "I don't know a thing about you but we are all in the same boat, we have all done wrong, We have all sinned. Haven't we? Saying it like that, I have never had a person not admit they have sinned. Saying "We have all done wrong first, most people equate sinning as murder or rape or some other horrible thing. Then to equate that doing wrong to sin, always gets them to admit they too have sinned.

Good news
Now you are ready to give them the gospel, the good news. Let this soak in. Remember this so you can tell it clearly. More next time. You are loved by God and me. ABC C. Sumner Wemp Dallas, TX

Give a tract to someone delivering, passing out or selling something

Give a tract to someone delivering, passing out or selling something
Sumner Wemps Spiritual Encouragement & Motivation

Give a gospel tract to those delivering, passing out, or selling
something.

Someone comes to your door, delivering, passing out, or selling
something.
Have tracts on a table near your door. Thank them for their
delivering and then say, "Let me give you something, you will like
this, it just tells you how to get to heaven". You don't have to be
slick Willie or tricky Dick, just offer them a tract. Wait a few
seconds to see if they respond in any way.

The best question
Then I ask, "Can I ask you my pet question?" No one has ever refused
when I ask that so I just keep using it. I ask, "Do you know for
sure you are going to heaven." very few say for sure they know they
are going to heaven. Many will reply, "I hope so, I am doing the
best I can. I am trying. I don't know. " Here is the best analogy.
"Suppose you ask me, "Sumner, are you married." Here is the
clincher, Suppose I answer, "I hope so. I am doing the best I can.
I am trying to be, I don't know." Just repeat what thy told you
about going to heaven. It works.It is amazing how they catch on to
that. You either are or not.

How to know
Can I tell you how to know for sure you are going to heaven.
Then I ask, If you died right now and went up to the gates of heaven
and they asked you, Why should we let you into heaven, what would
you say. This is the best question I have ever found to get to know
where they really stand. To be continued.

Sometimes you reap
In a Home Depot I was looking for something and could not find it.
Sandy came up and asked, "Can I help you?" I said Sandy, I need a
lot of help. She took me right to what I needed. Graciously I
thanked her and gave her a gospel tract and said this just tells you
how to go to heaven, She blurted out, "I need that." I told her
how God loved her and His Son, the Lord Jesus, suffered and died for
our sins, paid our debt in full, rose again and was seen by
hundreds." She was so ready and prayed out loud right there to
receive the Lord Jesus as her Savior with tears in her eyes.

to the missions project of getting tracts published in different

Have a plan: how to approach people and how to present the gospel

Have a plan: how to approach a person and how to present the gospel.

Never embarrass a person.
A person at your door, a clerk in a store are great prospects. Don't poke a tract at a person, be as gracious as possible. Hold the tract in front of them so they can read the title, then say, "May I give you something good to read? You will like that, it just tells you how to go to heaven." If they say, "I am a believer" or "I already have my ticket" or
"I already know I am gong there." Say, "That is wonderful, how about reading this and then give it someone else so they have a chance to go to heaven too." Most will do it.

Plant seed to reap souls
I love to go shopping with my wife. She goes shopping and I go fishing. The more you do it the more you learn a good approach. In a grocery store, a clerk smiles and says, "Can I help you?" I have a pet way to say, "I need a lot of help" and this always brings a smile. Then I say, "Let me give you something good to read when you have time, you will like this, it just tells you how to go to heaven." Most are busy and that is all you normally should do and just pray right then that they might be saved from reading the tract. Another shopper smiles and says, "Hi". I say hi back and then do the same and say, "Let me give you something good to read"...and go on. They now have a chance to go to heaven. You have now given them the gospel!

Late one night in a Seven Eleven store, I gave the clerk a tract. He was so ready and after I gave him the gospel, he gladly prayed out loud to receive the Lord Jesus. then he said, "My wife has been begging me for 15 years to get saved. Wait till I tell her how I got saved at 2 a. m. in the store. We MUST believe God that "the harvest is plenteous" and expect Him to use the gospel to get others saved. THAT IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT.
