_Mark 8:36._ WHEN I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; *if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked* from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but *his blood will I require at thine hand*. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. _Ezekiel 33:8-9._ *4th. A WORKING KNOWLEDGE of the Bible is needed.* It is God’s word that is used by the Spirit in the saving of a soul, and *not man’s word*. AND take the helmet of salvation, and the *sword of the Spirit*, which is the word of God. _Ephesians 6:17._ STUDY to *show thyself approved unto God, a workman* that needeth not to be ashamed, *rightly dividing the word of truth*. _II Timothy 2:15._ SO shall *my word* be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but *it shall accomplish* that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. _Isaiah 55:11._ Through the use of the *word of God*, you are to seek to accomplish the following things. 1st. To show men their *need* of a Savior. 2nd. To show them *Jesus* as the Savior they need. 3rd. To show them *how to make* this Savior their own. 4th. To meet the *difficulties* in the way of their accepting Christ. 5th. The one who would have *real success* must live a *life of prayer*, and be *baptized* with the Holy Ghost. Notice what the Lord is saying to us, to *encourage us* in our efforts to save souls. HE that *winneth souls is wise*. _Proverbs 11:30._ AND they that be *wise shall shine* as the *brightness* of the *firmament*; and they that turn *many* to *righteousness* as the *stars* for *ever* and *ever*. _Daniel 12:3._ LET him know, that he which *converteth the sinner* from the error of his way shall *save a soul from death*, and shall hide a multitude of sins. _James 5:20._ God help us to be faithful to our trust! Personal Work. *The “soul-winner’s" prayer.* After having called attention to the qualifications required in personal work there is a special need of emphasizing the fact that *faith in God* and a constant waiting, *in prayer* on the Lord, are preeminently necessary; in connection with the latter we suggest some of the things *for which we need to pray*. *1st. Pray*. “Lord give me "*getting up*” grace,” that is, courage to confess Christ. *AND your feet shod* with the preparation of the gospel of peace.
