Your Hidden Ally in the Heart of the Unbeliever

[susanb]

Has anyone ever heard of this phrase? It sounds like an odd phrase, considering all unbelievers' hearts are depraved and wicked.

Perhaps there is a scripture that backs up this belief? I don't know.

The reason I ask is because of an email from Living Waters (Ray Comfort) in regards to Deeper, a conference coming up soon:

Kirk Cameron will be hosting a “teen track” at DEEPER. Your teenager or college student can get 2 hours of fast paced evangelism training along with hearing all the other DEEPER speakers.

The teen track includes:

3 Keys to overcome fear and reach the lost.
How to avoid 99% of all arguments by learning to make contact with your hidden ally in the heart of the unbeliever
Interactive sessions.
Lots of video and on-the-street footage of live witnessing encounters.
Real time role-play.
Training manual to take notes and take home.

Tell your youth pastor about this.
Sign up 5 students @ $59 each and get the 6th free!

Nah, I dont think it hurts anything and means what you said it does. Everyone is born with sin and everyone is born with a void in their heart and the desire to know God. He only means if you reach the commonality that God put in us (per the scriptures), if a person is honest with himself, many times he wont argue with you. Doesnt work all the time of course since many times pride has pushed the basic human commonalities so far down in someone's soul, brokenness and need is the only way it will ever surface again. Funny how God knows that. Teens think all sorts of things, but the true common human elements in us is what they need to see because in communicating, its a good way to get others to at least listen(of course the Holy Spirit actually does the work at that point). Just my 2 cents.

I wish he had clarified that statement better. It would be a good idea to write them OR call in.

What I think it means is to find out where we can establish a "comraderie"/befriend the person we are witnessing to-- finding a "common ground"/"fellowship" such as-ie: "I hear you are a singer? I used to sing for so and so group back in the 80's. Do you sing a lot?"
This helps to bring yourself and the person you are witnessing to to a more personal level. It eliminates the DEFENSIVENESS of the person.

Well, those are my thoughts..

Thanks for the encouragement. I will write them. Hopefully I'll get a response; not to be negative, but I've written before about other issues, and the respondents gave defensive and/or frivolous answers. :(

I looked on the "deeper" site, and couldn't find any other information about "hidden ally".

I really like the work that Comfort and Cameron are doing, although there are some lingering questions about their proclivities to contemplative and Word/Faith. It seems they believe that man has some part in intiating salvation.
