Introduction By Evangelist Rev. David Hupp, HIS Print Media Ministries In the Message Bible, the Apostle Paul writes, regarding God s desire and his evangelism efforts: I Timothy 2:4-7; Titus 2:11 He wants not only us but everyone saved, you know, everyone to get to know the truth we ve learned: that there s one God and only one, and one Priest-Mediator between God and us Jesus, who offered himself in exchange for everyone held captive by sin, to set them all free. Eventually the news is going to get out. This and this only has been my appointed work: getting this news to those who have never heard of God, and explaining how it works by simple faith and plain truth. God s readiness to give and forgive is now public. Salvation s available for everyone! This last verse reads, in the Living Bible: For the free gift of eternal salvation is now being offered to everyone... The New Living Translation adds (Titus 3:4-7): But When God our Savior revealed His kindness and love, He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit. He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. Because of His grace He declared us righteous and gave us con dence that we will inherit eternal life. Jesus Christ Himself gave his followers a great commission to take the good news of the free gift of eternal life through personal faith and trust in Him, to all the inhabited earth (Matthew 28:18,19): Jesus came and told His disciples, I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Matt. 28:19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 1

Today, Christianity is one of the world s largest religions, 19,000+ new believers are being added to the church each day, in spite of severe persecution. However, 23,000 babies are being born each day, and Islam (probably due to their higher number of children per family), is the fastest growing religion. In the mid 1990 s, Islam was the second largest and fastest growing religion in America! What we can learn from this is, relying primarily on big Evangelists or big ministries to get the job done, is not the most effective method. Each individual Christian needs to be winning souls. In 1974, in a class at Miracle Valley Bible College, I learned that if each of the fty students in that classroom were to win one soul per year, and train that new convert to win a new soul each succeeding year, in less than fty years the whole world would be won to Christ. This kind of exponential growth can be categorized by the scienti c principle of Synergism. Webster s Dictionary de nes this word as follows: interaction of discrete agencies (as industrial rms), agents (as drugs), or conditions such that the total effect is greater than the sum of the individual effects. A simple story illustrates this. A wise man of the Orient did a favor for the Emperor. When asked how he could be repaid, he requested for a grain of rice to be placed on the corner square of a chess board, and the amount of rice placed on each succeeding square to be doubled. The amount of rice to be placed on the last square of the game board would be astronomical or far more than one would imagine. I like the saying, Each one win one, then all will be won! Larry Beckmann s anointed soul winning plan provides us the tools and method to accomplish this. 2

Forward by Prince Handley About 35 years ago, I had the privilege to ordain into the ministry, a man who without a doubt, was the greatest personal soul winner of the last 100 years. His name was Reverend Larry Beckmann; and he was the recipient, posthumously, of the World Services University of Excellence Honorary Doctorate for excellence in personal evangelism and discipleship. Larry came to Bible studies I taught where many high school and college students attended. I also had the privilege to pray for him to receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. A few minutes later he was leading a man to Christ at a liquor store next door. Reverend Beckmann kept a detailed daily log, or diary, of the people he led to Christ. From the day Christ came into Larry s heart on May 2, 1964 until June 9, 1996, during that 32 years, he personally prayed with 170,336 people to receive Christ. In one city alone (Atlanta, Georgia) 60,347 people prayed with him to receive Christ. In just a ve year period, one married couple Larry trained in soul-winning, in Atlanta, prayed with an additional 8,000 people to receive Christ. These are the greatest MIRACLES: people experiencing Christ! It is with GREAT JOY that I share with you the tool which the Holy Spirit had Larry prepare for the Body of Christ before he went to Heaven: God s Anointed Soul-Winning Plan. This is the plan he used to lead people to Christ. Why is this plan entitled God s Anointed Soul-Winning Plan? The answer lies in the meaning of the word anointed. Pastor Mel Amrine wisely said: The proof of whether a plan is anointed or not is in the results it gets. You can have ten soul-winning plans with all ten of them full of Bible verses; nine of them see only a few results, but the tenth plan sees enormous results. It is the plan that sees enormous results which is anointed. In a period of just 11 years before Larry Beckmann went to Heaven, the Lord used this plan to lead more than 100,000 people to pray and receive Christ as Savior. Virtually everyone who uses it sees tremendous results. Prince Handley 3

The Plan NOTE: This is not a tract. This is a tool for soul-winners. Only read what is printed in red to the people with whom you witness. The rst two times you read this, read it exactly as written. Do not let Satan trick you into believing you ll look foolish reading this. Because of the anointing on this plan, the person you are witnessing to will listen! Pardon me, may I ask you a question? I m a Christian and I m taking a survey; can you listen for about three minutes? You believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Is that true? Nine in ten Americans believe this much. This will vary from country to country. If the person does not believe this, END the survey. Then SOW SOME SEED to help him/her come to Christ at a FUTURE time. Don t stop reading in the MIDDLE of these next two questions read them through to the end. Have you ever met Christ personally, where He has come into your heart as Savior? You ve never met Christ personally, have you? NEVER ask: Are you a Christian? NEVER ask: Are you saved? Why? Because almost EVERYBODY says Yes to either of these two questions. And once they say Yes you can t win them to Christ. The previous two questions lead them into a No answer. However, if they are saved, these questions are written in such a way that you will be able to read to them and see if they are saved. I advise you to MEMORIZE this next statement and then use it for the rest of your life as you witness. It s simple to get Jesus into your heart. 5

The rst thing to realize is that Christ LOVES you. When He hung on the cross He died for YOU. He died in your place. John 3:16 NLT (Read it or say it to them... best to let them look at it in the Bible with you.) For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. Do you know why He died for you on that cross? So you wouldn t have to go to HELL and burn forever. Look at my nger... how many sins does it take to put you into Hell, according to the Bible? (Hold up one nger.) Just ONE. James 2:10 teaches that. Everybody has sinned. You ve sinned. (Read or say Romans 3:23 to them - best to let them look at it in the Bible with you.) For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God s glorious standard. NLT Which means, if you died tonight in a car wreck without Christ, you would be in Hell. And that s the reason I stopped you. Because it is very easy to protect you from Hell. Of course, I can t protect you from Hell, but God can. If you re a good person, will you go to Heaven? No! Ephesians 2:8 says that being good doesn t even help. (Read it or say it to them... best to let them look at it in the Bible with you.) Eph 2:8 NLT God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Church, baptism, believing none of these [good works] can save you. 6

The devil BELIEVES that Jesus is God, and the devil is NOT going to Heaven. Believing is only the rst step. HERE S THE ANSWER!! To get to Heaven you must let Jesus come into your heart. Revelation 3:20 NLT (Read it or say it to them... best to let them look at it in the Bible with you.) In Revelation 3:20 Jesus says, Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear My voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. Be honest, do you WANT to let Jesus come into your heart? Because you LOVE Him, right? And you don t want to go to Hell. And you need Him. In order to be saved from Hell, you must REPENT! That is, TURN from wanting Christ only partially... to wanting Him 100%. Are you willing to turn from your sins? Do you want Jesus to come into your heart as a FRIEND? Now, I m going to make it real hard for you. Do you want Jesus as a friend with ALL your heart? Don t pray with them unless they are 100% sure. If you mean this prayer, you won t have to go to Hell. Just repeat [this prayer] after me. Jesus, I believe You are here. (PAUSE) I m sorry for my sins. (PAUSE) And you promised to save me from Hell if I would ask you into my heart. (PAUSE) So I ask you, Jesus... please come into my heart right now. He heard your prayer... He is in your heart NOW! Did you really mean that prayer? So... where is Jesus living right now? In your heart! Do you have to ask Jesus into your heart every day to go 7

to Heaven, or just once? Just once. Once does it. You pray every day. You pray hundreds of times. You confess your sins every day. But you only let Jesus come into your heart once. Now... let s do a little review. Are you saved? Yes! You just got saved. Don t base your salvation on FEELINGS. Most people don t feel anything when they get saved. Base it on what the Bible says. Does the Bible say you re saved? More than 100 verses say you are saved. For example, John 1:12 says you are saved, and Revelation 3:20 says you are saved. More than 100 verses assure you. If you have time to read these two example verses, here they are from the Living Bible: John 1:12 - But all who received him, he gave the right to become children of God. All they needed to do was to trust him to save them. Revelation 3:20 - Look! I have been standing at the door and I am constantly knocking. If anyone hears me calling him and opens the door, I will come in and fellowship with him and he with me. (Question) And what did you do that saved you? (Answer) You let Jesus come into your heart. Write down ve scripture references on a piece of paper for them to read later (or, you can have them preprinted). These verses are helpful to give them added assurance of their salvation when doubt comes. These are the scriptures to write down: John 1:12 Romans 10:9,10 & 13. Revelation 3:20 1 John 5:12 Ephesians 2:8-10 8

There are four things God wants you to DO now that you are saved. #1. Find a Church home. (Recommend a good power church to them). #2. Read the Holy Bible every day. Don t start in the front of the Bible, because Jesus wasn t born yet. The rst book, Genesis, was 4,000 years before Jesus was born. Begin by reading MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, and JOHN. These four books quote Jesus words hundreds of times, and show what the Holy Spirit did through Him. Then read the Book of Acts to see exciting things the Holy Spirit does through Christians. #3. Pray. Talk to Jesus many times each day... whenever you want. He s your BEST FRIEND. #4. Tell others about Jesus. Try to tell several people today and tomorrow that you let Jesus come into your heart. Not only will this challenge others to get saved, but it will STRENGTHEN YOU greatly. Write down the person s name, address, E-mail address (if any), and telephone number so either you or a church can FOLLOW UP with them. 9

Your Prayerful Response Dear Father God, I thank you for making me your child, and for giving me eternal life as a free gift, through your Son Jesus Christ when I invited Him into my heart as Lord and Savior. I know you desire to do this for everyone, and that you need my help. As your prophet, Isaiah, said, Here I am, use me! By your perfect love, deliver me from every hindering fear I have about witnessing and using this Anointed Soul Winning Plan. I now receive your anointing, love, and boldness to be an effective soul winner. Give me your heart for the least, the last, the lost. As I go out, enable me to walk in demonstration of your Holy Spirit and power as did your servant Larry Beckmann, and those who walked in Bible days. Anoint me to effectively use your Anointed Soul Winning Plan as described to me in this booklet. Make divine appointments for me for winning souls each day. Give me boldness to speak your truth in love. I know that I am asking this in your will; I know that you are hearing me now, and that you will answer. By faith, I receive the answer, for I ask it in Jesus name. Pro 28:1 NLT the godly are as bold as lions. Heb 13:5b,6 NLT For God has said, I will never fail you. I will never abandon you. So we can say with con dence, The LORD is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me? Lord lay some soul upon my heart, and lead that soul to me; then help me, Lord, to do my part, to win that soul for thee! Proverbs 11:30 KJV The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. Daniel 12:3 NLT Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever. 19
