The Ladder of Decision SDA Pastor / Evangelist John L Shuler


Christs Expressions       Steps In Securing Decision          The Womans Responses
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Level 6 goal = decision & action & reaping & discipleship 

"I that speak am He"            6. DECISION AND ACTION             "Come. see a man"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Level 5 goal = building enough desire to decide and act to obey God
" The Father seeketh such"    5.   INTENSIFYING DESIRE      "I know that Messias cometh"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Level  4 goal = building conviction to intensify desire
"Thou hast well said"           4.   CONVICTION                 I perceive that thou art a prophet "
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Level 4 goal = start and establish conviction within the person 
"Go call thy- husband"         4.   CONVICTION                  "I have no husband"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Level 3 goal = awaken desire to have what is offered 
"Shall never thirst"              3.   AWAKENING DESIRE         "Give me this water"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Level 2 goal = touch the person's interest in what's offered and cultivate interest to desire what's offered
"Living water"                     2.    INTEREST                     "Whence?"         "Art thou greater ?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Level 1 goal = winningly attract the person's attention 
Give Me to drink"             1.     ATTENTION                    "How is it ? "


On the accompanying diagram there are listed on left from the bottom line upward certain key words from the seven recorded statements of Jesus to the woman. On the right side are listed certain key words of the woman's seven responses to Christ's words. A careful study of the relation of her seven responses to Christ's statements will make very clear the successive and progressive steps by which Christ won this soul for the kingdom of God.

 

Read point by point John 4:1-45, Desire of Ages Chap. 19 - At Jacob's Well, and the EGW article - (ST - The Signs of the Times  April 22, 1897 Jesus at the Well of Sychar. The Water of Life) , {4T 373.1-.2}, {ST, October 31, 1900 par. 8-13}, {PP 85.4}, {PCP 33.7-34.2}, {TDG 332.5}, {1888 1787.1  1798.1},   how was this woman's heart prepared for to receive Christ and His teachings ? 

 

How long did Christ pray before going to meet that woman ?

 

Remember the parable / prophecy of the servants and the talents ?  

There is one talent in which you are greatly deficient,---the talent of soul-saving. Of all sciences, the highest and the most essential is the science of soul-saving. It embraces very much. ... {1888 1788.1}  

    ... the talent that is of greatest value with God is the talent of soul-saving, and this all need to obtain.  {1888 1788.2}

What we learned in Michigan Emmanuel Institute -Mark 1:17/ Luke 8:5-8

 

The Michigan Conference believes that God calls them unify and organize to FINISH HIS WORK in their state.

The Michigan Conference believes that God calls them to make every MI Church a TCC (Training Center Church) .

The Michigan Conference believes that God calls them to make soul winning a LIFESTYLE not an event.

 

God calls them to:

 

Come to Christ Matthew 11:28

Connect to Christ John 15:1-12

Follow Christ-Mark 1:17; Matthew 28:18-20 ........ To BECOME fishers of men.

Be constantly available to Christ Colossians 1:21-23 - like Paul & all disciples were FRUIT - in their lifetime.

 

In visions of the night, representations passed before me of a great reformatory movement among God's people. Many were praising God. The sick were healed, and other miracles were wrought. A spirit of intercession was seen, even as was manifested before the great Day of Pentecost. Hundreds and thousands were seen visiting families and opening before them the word of God. Hearts were convicted by the power of the Holy Spirit, and a spirit of genuine conversion was manifest. On every side doors were thrown open to the proclamation of the truth. The world seemed to be lightened with the heavenly influence. Great blessings were received by the true and humble people of God. I heard voices of thanksgiving and praise, and there seemed to be a reformation such as we witnessed in 1844. {9T 126.1}

 

The judgments of God are in the earth, and, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, .... Men will soon be forced to great decisions, and it is our duty to see that they are given an opportunity to understand the truth, that they may take their stand intelligently on the right side. The Lord calls upon His people to labor... earnestly and wisely--while probation lingers. {9T 126.3}

 

Among the members of our churches there should be more house-to-house labor in giving Bible readings and distributing literature. ....

 

Christ's example must be followed by those who claim to be His children. Relieve the physical necessities of your fellow men, and their gratitude will break down the barriers and enable you to reach their hearts.

 

The Lord has presented before me the work that is to be done in our cities. The believers in these cities are to work for God in the neighborhood of their homes. They are to labor quietly and in humility, carrying with them wherever they go the atmosphere of heaven. If they keep self out of sight, pointing always to Christ, the power of their influence will be felt.

 

Women as well as men can engage in the work .and the Lord will work through them. If they are imbued with a sense of their duty, and labor under the influence of the Spirit of God, ... and this will give them a power that will exceed that of men. They can do in families a work that men cannot do, a work that reaches the inner life. They can come close to the hearts of those whom men cannot reach. ...The word of God thus explained will do its leavening work, and through its influence whole families will be converted. {9T 126-128.3}

Many decisions and baptisms are reached and setup during door to door follow up work* * * MyBibleStudyoffer.com  in process due October. * * *  

The Interest tracking / data base software http://getdisciples.com/keeps it organized, the new soft ware/ website makes communication (A.) Internet swift and (B.) stops the shelving of Bible study interests in a drawer somewhere, allowing them to grow cold, (C.) creates a trail that can be followed up. A Statewide / Local tracking - code is given to each Bible Study offer, the person interested in studies uses MyBibleStudyoffer.com and enters their info and contact information and the statewide code, their contact information creates a local location code, the person giving the Bible studies logs into the website, and immediately sees the new Bible study interest and their information and contact information.  This will work nation wide.  Being Internet, it can be rebuilt to fit any and every country served by Internet.  Japan is very linked in.
