- How to Preach With Conviction
How to preach with power;
Preaching with conviction;
How to know what to preach;
How to preach a good sermon; – these questions, and others like them are asked here all the time, so I now want to try and answer this point on how to Preach with conviction.
- Testify from Experience and Knowledge
For me, the conviction has to shine through from what I know, from what I have experienced, from what the Spirit is telling me now, today. When you testify, the conviction is there in your voice because of course you must believe your own testimony, and your listeners will recognize that conviction. You are telling what you KNOW! You are the ‘first hand’ witness.
- Conviction and Power From The Spirit
The other real source of power and conviction in your preaching is the Holy Spirit of God. When you have prayed about what you are to speak on, when you have allowed the Spirit to illuminate your understanding of the scripture, then the power and conviction will be present and they will come shining through.
- The Power of Scripture
God will never argue against Himself, so if what you are saying is based on pure scripture, and is expanding from that, then you have the confidence that it must be right. You know how it goes; God said it, I believe it! If you are quoting scripture, you are quoting God. I believe, along with Timothy [2 Timothy 3:16]All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness that The Bible is the inspired Word of God, and that is something you really can Preach with Conviction.
Thanks for your insight
Thanks! The other real source of power and conviction in your preaching is the Holy Spirit of God.

Yes, Conviction is the best & most effective tool of preaching any thing, religion or any else.
Preaching will be in effect only by proper conviction
Nope not from here anyway. I have alawys defined myself as a Promillenialist . In other words, whatever God wants, I am for it. Problem is I am not sure what he wants. I love the Wesleyan position it is clear that Christ will return with consequences for all people. But the exact sequence of events is less clear. To which I agree whole heartily.
Yes the Bible is the word of God. This has to be the starting point of any truth.
@DThomas!
I totally agree – the word of God has to be the surest foundation for what we have to say…..
well,preaching with conviction goes beyond the rhetorics. the profound thought lies in practicing what you preach.

In my opinion the best way of doing a good preach is by conviction. Use your own words from the heart.
Saying things by the heart is testifying to what you actually believe. That is how to preach with conviction.
Great post, and thanks for sharing!
@Valentine
Totally agree. When you testify from within yourself, the truth and conviction is there in your voice!
Totally agree with you both
http://ceshoring.info Thanks for that awesome posting. It saved MUCH time
Thanks. I learn alot from your atticle.
Important to know the power of Scripture. People will listen to this
@Assertiviteits -
Plus we have to leaven the power of scripture with testimony of our own spiritual experience. It is when we do this, that scripture comes alive for the hearers. They can hear the belief in your voice, because you are telling what has actually happened to you!
