After the Spirit comes to them, they remember what we said and understand

Book:  Exhortations For The Church
Vol. 12, Chapter 32
Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet 


An 80+ year old woman in our church group wrote me and told me almost all her relatives are dead now.  She said after she was born again she thought she would lead them all to God but it didn't happen.  She said it was sad to think on this.

I told her we do not know what happens to a person at the moment of that person's death.

God might choose to save the person at that second.  We don't know.  Certainly at that second God could remind that person of the WORD we have spoken and that person might believe.

Salvation is in the hands of God.  

We just speak the word as long as we live on this earth.  If they reject the word at one point, later God might chose to save them by that same word they rejected by bringing to their minds that word we spoke to them.

They often did not understand Jesus when HE spoke the WORD.  But HE spoke anyway.  Later, after Jesus had gone away, God brought that word to their memories and they understood then.

John 2:22    When therefore HE was risen from the dead, HIS disciples remembered that HE had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

One thing the Holy Spirit does is to remind us of that which Jesus has said.  Jn. 14:26

When the Holy Spirit does this, we believe.

So we simply speak the WORD.

Isaiah 55:8-11    God says ... For MY thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways MY ways, saith the LORD.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are MY ways higher than your ways, and MY thoughts than your thoughts.

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:  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.
