You Have to AskFor What You Want

Page 8: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

In “Go Fish” you have to ask for the card you want

The other players are not likely just to give you what you want

With evangelism, you have to ask for what you want

If you want someone to come to church or have a Bible study you have to ask them

Page 9: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

Although He was speaking particularly of prayer, Jesus’ words in the sermon on the mount still reveal this true principle regarding evangelism

Page 10: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Matthew 7:7, 8

James, the Lord’s half-brother, also relates the truthfulness of this thought

Page 12: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

James 4:2

Although He was speaking particularly of prayer, Jesus’ words in the sermon on the mount still reveal this true principle regarding evangelism

James, the Lord’s half-brother, also relates the truthfulness of this thought

We miss out on many opportunities simply because we do not ask

Page 14: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

We need to be the church that Isaiah pictured in prophecy and the church people John envisioned in Revelation

Page 15: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord‘s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Isaiah 2:2, 3

Page 16: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

Revelation 22:17

Page 17: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

We need to be the church that Isaiah pictured in prophecy and the church people John envisioned in Revelation

Isaiah pictured future Christians as inviting men to come to the Lord, just as Philip did

Page 18: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

John 1:43-46

Page 19: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

We need to be the church that Isaiah pictured in prophecy and the church people John envisioned in Revelation

Isaiah pictured future Christians as inviting men to come to the Lord, just as Philip did

Philip didn’t argue with Nathanael about the matter; he simply invited him to come see for himself; he asked for what he wanted

Page 20: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

He was convinced that Nathanael would soon be just as convinced as he was if he would only come and see the Lord for himself

John records another instance of an invitation extended and accepted

Page 21: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

John 4:28-30

Page 22: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

He was convinced that Nathanael would soon be just as convinced as he was if he would only come and see the Lord for himself

John records another instance of an invitation extended and accepted

Because this woman simply asked, many found the Lord

Today, we seem to be waiting for others to ask us if they can attend worship or study with us

Page 23: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

However, just like in “Go Fish,” we must ask for what we want

We must be the ones to do the approaching and asking

Page 24: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

You Can Only AskFor What You Have

Page 25: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

In “Go Fish,” you can only ask for a match to a card you already hold in your hand

With evangelism, we must hold that for which we are asking

Page 26: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

I Peter 3:15

Page 27: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

In “Go Fish,” you can only ask for a match to a card you already hold in your hand

With evangelism, we must hold that for which we are asking

If we want others to submit to Christ, we must be submissive to Him our own lives

We can’t expect others to embrace a hope that we ourselves do not have

Page 28: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

Colossians 1:27, 28

Page 29: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

Just like “Go Fish,” you can only ask of others what you yourself already possess

Page 30: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

You Must AskBefore Others Do

Page 31: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

In “Go Fish,” other players are also looking for cards

In fact, they may be looking for some of the same cards you are

In evangelism, must realize that others are looking for converts, too

Likely seeking some of the same people we are

Page 32: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

We must be diligent to be the first to ask

Jesus revealed the seriousness of the situation

Page 33: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

Matthew 23:15

Page 34: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

We must be diligent to be the first to ask

Jesus revealed the seriousness of the situation

While saints are seeking to open men’s eyes to truth, Satan is seeking to blind them

Page 35: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

II Corinthians 4:3, 4

Page 36: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

I Peter 5:8

Page 37: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

We must be diligent to be the first to ask

Jesus revealed the seriousness of the situation

While saints are seeking to open men’s eyes to truth, Satan is seeking to blind them

The doctrines of men will not save; must be diligent in finding prospects before others do

Page 38: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

Just like “Go Fish,” we must ask before others do

Page 39: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

You Must AskDifferent People

Page 40: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

In “Go Fish,” there are generally from 3-6 players

If you ask one person for a card and he doesn’t have it, you don’t give up the search

When it is your turn again, you ask someone else

In evangelism, we must approach different people

Page 41: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

What we may not find in one place, we may find in another

Paul and Barnabas knew this quite well

Page 42: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

Acts 13:45, 46

Page 43: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

What we may not find in one place, we may find in another

Paul and Barnabas knew this quite well

In the parable of the marriage feast, Jesus portrayed this same concept

Page 44: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. But they made light of it, and went their ways,

Page 45: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

one to his farm, another to his merchandise: And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall

Page 46: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

find, bid to the marriage. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.

Matthew 22:2-10

Page 47: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

What we may not find in one place, we may find in another

Paul and Barnabas knew this quite well

In the parable of the marriage feast, Jesus portrayed this same concept

Today, we give up far too easily

Just like “Go Fish,” we must ask different people

Page 48: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

You May Have to AskMore Than Once

Page 49: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

In “Go Fish,” you may have to ask the same player for a certain card more than once

The fact that he doesn’t have a certain card at one point in the game doesn’t mean he won’t have it later

The cards in each players hand change throughout the game

In evangelism, we may have to ask the same person more than once in order to get results

Page 50: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

Jesus implied such in His in words from the sermon mount

Page 51: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Matthew 7:7, 8

Suffix suggests repeatedor continual action

Page 52: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

Jesus implied such in His in words from the sermon mount

Those who hope to receive must ask over and over

Not only is this true in prayer, but also in personal evangelism

Over time, circumstances can change and those who once were not receptive can become receptive to the seed of truth

Page 53: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

Just like “Go Fish,” we may have to ask more than once

Page 54: Remember playing “Go Fish” as a child? Even though it may have been a while, can still recall the basics Let’s use the basics of “Go Fish” to learn some.

Evangelism is a lot like “Go Fish”

You have to ask for what you want

You can only ask for what you have

You must ask before others do

You must ask different people

You may have to ask more than once
