Only God can change a person's heart! Jesus did not come to this world and suffer such a brutal death simply to allow us to be
saved. A simple statement and a walk down an aisle does not get one into heaven! When one repents and accepts God the Holy Spirit into their lives, they are changed from the inside out! God does the transformation, not our efforts! They enter into a relationship with the Lord, not simply a
space in a place!
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.(Ephesians 2:8-9)
So as we share our lives and experiences with others, it is God acting in and through us to lead them to Himself as well. It is God, not us! These are spiritual issues, not quick fixes. Issues run deep and sometimes are a result of a lifetime of experiences. Their is POWER in His Name and in His Spirit. Trust God with the hearts. We just do what He says to do! Even when we get weary, especially then, is when He is STRONG!
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. (John 6:63)
