Each person has a unique time-line for their journey to Jesus. That is, “How long will it take for them to give their lives to Jesus?” The only answer to that question is, “In their own way and in their own unique time.”
 
If a “newcomer” walks into our gatherings what vibe will they pick up? It is very much like the adage, “You only have one chance to make a great first impression.” People tend to give you just a few moments for your hopefully “profound atmosphere” that is so powerful that close to 100 percent of the attendees will be touched in a real, Holy Spirit encounter kind of way. It is important for us to remember that it is the Spirit who draws people into an encounter with God. Our job? Make sure that we don’t get in the way of that process.
