"Having the Desire to Help
Save Others"
It does not matter sometimes how hard you try, there is no way to change someone until and/or unless they have the desire to change. And from where does that desire to change come? It begins with the conviction of The Holy Spirit convicting an individual to want to become a better person than what they presently are. That is why no matter how much you want to help someone, nothing will do any good until The Holy Spirit becomes involved. Such a person will finally take a look in the mirror and decide that they are dissatisfied with the person they see looking back at them. Many will also take a good look within themselves and realize there is an emptiness, and in a search to fill that emptiness, they will end up chasing the wind or coming to The Lord JESUS CHRIST. The Lord JESUS is The Promise Keeper, The Miracle Worker, The Way Maker, and The Light in the darkness. The Lord JESUS through The Holy Spirit will open blind eyes and repair broken hearts, and He will do all of this through the power of The Holy Spirit.
So if it is your desire to try and help lead someone who is lost to The Lord JESUS, try a gentle approach at first. One of the best things that you can do is to try and lead by example. As many of you have seen, there are plenty of examples of people living by the rules of doing as I say and not as I do. These are some of the sorriest examples of a type of person trying to help someone there is around. These types of people rarely persuade anyone, because they turn out to be some of the best examples of hypocrites that anyone can see. If one allows The Holy Spirit to do the convicting and the convincing, such a person who needs salvation will be well on their way to receiving help. First of all, The Holy Spirit has to call the person, because no one comes to The Lord JESUS unless The Holy Spirit first draws them to Him. The person will then have to realize their need to repent of their sins and receive JESUS CHRIST as their Lord and Savior. Such is the soul who is on their way to redemption and eternal life, in and through JESUS CHRIST their Lord and Savior.
AMEN
