No man will ever accept Jesus on the basis of our compelling arguments. No man will ever accept Jesus as a result of our undeniable persuasion. No man will ever accept Jesus on the basis of our presentation of the gospel. There’s only one way that a man receives Jesus. Jesus said, “It’s not flesh and blood that has revealed … but my Father who is in heaven.”
Relationship with Jesus comes by revelation. We must become people of revelation if we are to bring others into the Kingdom of God. We must become people of revelation if we are to raise up disciples. Therefore, we must allow the Spirit of revelation to begin to work in us; to begin to work in our lives; to begin to speak in our hearts. We need to hear not only the words. Rather let us go beyond to hear the witness of God in our own spirits.
His, thus Yours,

Salt. Light, fruit trees -examples Jesus used in describing lifestyle of His followers- do not strain or labor to accomplish their purposes. Salt seasons. Light displaces darkness. And, fruit trees bear nourishing fruit.
Likewise, Jesus’ followers need only be pliable, discerning, open conduit-like vessels through which the Holy Spirit reveals the character of Father God.
