找有钩子的话（接上篇）
我们传福音的人要常常问弟兄姊妹：你是因着那句话而得救的？要把这些记录在簿子上，并且要常常读它。不只如此，我们也要读自己得救的事，再读我们所拯救的人，再读福音故事。我们要常常问得救的人：你因那句话而难受，觉得扎心的？要把这些都记下来。然后再问他们：你因那句话而喜欢，觉得羡慕的？也记下来。再问：那句话是使你决定要信主的？也要记下来。这样你就会看见一件很奇妙的事，就是圣灵用过的话，祂很欢喜下一次再用。我们传福音的人，必须知道圣灵喜欢用什么话。我们要清楚什么话是能感动人的，什么话是能打倒人的，什么话是能让人感觉有缺的，什么话是能让人决定的，什么话是能钩人的。然后我们不但自己会用钩子，也会自己打钩子。
最好的传福音者，都是把人引到高处，而用神的话把人打倒了。我们总要学习用圣灵所用的话语。圣灵所用过的话，祂很容易再用。所以我们实在很需要得救的故事；尤其需要自己所救之人的故事。因为研究这些故事，会帮助我们找到圣灵所用的话。人到底是服在什么话语底下，你就要去注意这些话语，你要记下来。我们曾经说过，世上的人种类并不多，如果我们会对付几种的人，也就差不多了。那些能使人顺服的话语，我们一定要多学习。我们需要多有几本簿子，记录那些使得救的人受感动的话语。比方人因着那句话良心被摸着，人因着那句话决定接受救恩。这些话你要常登记在簿子上，碰到同样的人时，你就可以使用。我们传福音只要能让人得救就行，不在乎要用许许多多的话。凡圣灵用过的话，你就要打上印记，下次还要再用。

Finding Words with a Hook – Luke 4:18-19
As those who preach the gospel, we should often ask the brothers and sisters: “By which word were you saved?” These should be recorded in a notebook and read regularly. Not only that, we should also re-read the story of our own salvation, re-read the stories of those we have led to salvation and re-read gospel stories. We should often ask those who have been saved: “Which word made you feel uneasy, made you feel pierced?” and you record these words. Then you ask them: “Which word did you like, which word made you feel longing?” and record these words as well. Followed by the question: “Which word made you decide to believe in the Lord?” This should also be recorded. Through doing this, you will discover a marvelous thing – that the words the Holy Spirit has used once, He delights to use them again. As those who preach the gospel, we must know what words the Holy Spirit likes to use, which words can move people, which words can defeat people, which words can make people feel their lack, which words can lead people to make a decision, and which words can hook people. Then not only will we know how to use the hooks, we will also know how to craft these hooks ourselves.
The best gospel preachers are those who lead people upward and then use God’s words to strike them down. We always learn to use the words that the Holy Spirit has used. The words that the Holy Spirit has once used, He can easily use again. Therefore, we truly need stories of salvation; especially the stories of those we personally led to salvation. Studying these stories helps us find the words the Holy Spirit has used. You have to pay attention and record the words under which people have surrendered. There are not so many types of people in the world as we indicated before; if we know how to deal with a few types, it should be enough. The words that can cause man to surrender must be diligently learned. We need several notebooks to record the words that have moved those who were saved. For instance, words that touched a person’s conscience, words that led a person to decide to receive salvation. These words should be registered often, so that when encountering a similar type of person, you may use these words. When preaching the gospel, it is good enough as long as men are saved; there is no need to use many words. Remember, whatever words the Holy Spirit has used before, you should mark them, so you may use them again next time.
