Introduction:
    Herald and preach the Word! Keep your sense of urgency (stand by, be at hand and ready, whether the opportunity seems to be favorable or unfavorable, whether it is convenient or inconvenient, whether it be welcome or unwelcome...) (2 Tim.4.2 Amplified).
    Here is your object with every person: Give them the seed of the full gospel--enough information to determine their level of interest. If they are not interested, you have planted the seed--next! You might have to sift through many in order to find the "hot" ones, those who are open to receive more information. You are looking for those whose time is now, to work with now.
     If they do expresss interest, go to the next step--more information.
    There are four principles that need to be understood:
    1. The Word of truth carries in it the power of God's life. Get the Word into people's understanding. Share the simple gospel, and tell the the truth of how to be saved through faith in Jesus Christ. Your business is to plant seeds. If you plant seeds, there will be a harvest. If you never plant seeds (the Word), there will never be a harvest. It is as simple as gardening. Whatever you do, with all the tact, gentleness, love, kindness, boldness, and wisdom that you can have, get the truth of the simple gospel and of how to be saved into every person. Get the seed planted. Lk.8.4-15.
    2. Get a third party witness to the truth of the Word. A witness gives living credibility to the truth of the Word. Jn.5.32-38.
    3. Follow up is of utmost importance. This is how you water the seed sown. But, don't overwater, or the seed will rot. A little offered consistently, is better than an occasional soaking flood. There are many different ways to follow up. Use all means that you can. Ac.15.36.
    4. Systematically continuing in this basic process will produce a harvest. This is for conversion, for healing, for the baptism of the Spirit, to teach on prosperity, or anything in the kingdom. You can be consistent without being pushy. Be consistent with doing all four steps. Ac.20.20,26-28,33-35.

FIVE STEP DISCIPLESHIP
    The following teaching, if taught simply, will produce a constant harvest of souls in your life, and, as you duplicate yourself into others lives, and they do likewise, people will be trained, discipled, and the kingdom will spread with no limits. This is what God promised to Abraham.
    1. Finished. The finished work of Jesus is the gospel of grace. This is accepting what Christ has done for you as the perfect, eternal salvation given to you as a free gift, apart from all goodness, works, or effort on your part. This is having all your sin and shame taken away, and the righteousness of Jesus Christ put to your account. Heb.10.10,17.  Eph.2.8.  2Cor.5.17-21.
    2. Forgiveness--water baptism. This is your scriptural public confession of faith. When you turn to Jesus, you turn from sin. To show that you are following Him, with your sins washed away, you are to be baptized (dipped) in water. Every believer is sent to teach all nations and baptize people as soon as they believe. Then those believers can go, teach, and baptize in the name of Jesus, by the authority that He gave them to go and preach, teach, and baptize others. Matthew 28.18-20.
    3. Fullness of the Spirit--baptism of the Holy Spirit. This is God's seal upon you for supernatural service in His kingdom. This too, is to be taught and transferred from believer-to-believer. Jn.1.29,33.  Jn.7.37-39. Acts 1.4-8.
    4. Faith and Love. Living by faith in the Word of God, and exercising love toward all people no matter what, are the foundations for successful living and ministry. Understanding Christ in us and our all-victorious position in Christ includes total victory over sin and flesh by total commitment to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, total victory over all satanic powers, total victory over all sickness and disease, and total victory over poverty. God's people are above only and not beneath in any way (Deut.28.13). The faith that overcomes the world and all things, works by love, so these go hand-in-hand for victory in every way. Gal.5.4-6,18,22-26.
    5. Finding others to duplicate this truth into so they can go and do the same. We spread the Word freely everywhere we go. When we find those who are open and hungry, we minister more to them to quickly establish them in these truths, so they can go and do likewise. This includes every believer being able to preach the gospel, baptize, minister the baptism of the Spirit, teach and demonstrate our position in Christ (eg. minister healing, deliverance from demonic powers, etc.), and teach others to go and preach the gospel and teach others these basic truths. Matt.25.28-30. 2Tim.2.1,2.
    In the early church they largely met in homes. Share the gospel, get a convert, set up a meeting in their home with them inviting their friends, to come hear the Word. Train them to do the same. People can still go to their regular church, but they can have the added benefit of home meetings/evangelism/discipleship training. Acts 2.46;  20.20.  Rom.16.5.  Philemon 2.  2Jn.10.

Conclusion:
    This is God's "system" of exploding across the face of the earth.
    These truths, when understood in our heart, can be conveyed to a person in seed form in a matter of a few minutes. We should know the Word regarding each truth, and be able to teach others from the Word, of these truths.
    One's whole life and ministry can follow the outline of these five points. When we are living out these five points, we are effective in spreading the kingdom of God on all the earth today.
    Through the power of network teaching in this way, and the operation of the principle of compounding duplication, the kingdom of God can literally explode through you across the face of the earth, person-to-person, house-to-house, city-to-city, and nation-to-nation. This is God's pattern. Acts 1.8.         Sun.morn.11-7-99
