God`s Power and Wisdom (Acts 9:19-31; 1 Corinthians 1:18, 27; 2:1-8)
 
The biggest and hardest problem is to change a person`s heart/ mind
God`s way is for the person to humble his heart, and not to compel the person to believe in God.
To change a person`s heart: 
1). Not through wisdom or our way but only God`s way
- Apostle Paul talked and debated with the Hellenistic Jews, But they tried to kill him (Acts 9:29)
 
2). Not by using  our own power but by using love (1 Corinthians 1:18/ 1 Corinthians 2:8)
Jesus can use His power but He did not. He gives us a choice to choose and believe in Him.
To win people`s heart we should win it through genuine love. Satan did not know about this or 
Satan would not have let Christ be crucified on the cross. Through the cross people can see
the genuine love which has helped changed many people`s heart in the world.
 
3) Not through a big important person but by a small unimportant person ( 1 Corinthians 1:27-28)
Jesus uses the common people, and usually they are the ones who believe. God is able to use these
"small" people to do great work for God. The saying goes that "It`s difficult for millionaires to see God"
 
4) Not through the thinking of people but through the power of the Holy Spirit.(1 Corinthians 2:4-5)
(Acts 18:9-11)
The Holy Spirit is there to change the heart. Always pray that the Holy Spirit will help to change the hearts 
of the people we speak to. To change the hearts of the people around us, it is not through our deeds
or knowledge but through our prayers.
