La idea de que "el verdadero predicador debe buscar no solo instruir intelectualmente, sino ganar el corazón para que la mente y la voluntad se sometan a Dios" está claramente reflejada en los escritos de Elena de White. Aquí algunos extractos relevantes que confirman esta enseñanza: 1. “The preaching of the word should appeal to the intellect and should impart knowledge, but it should do more than this. The minister's utterances, to be effectual, must reach the hearts of his hearers... Let him ask the Saviour to give him words to speak that will strengthen these souls for the conflict with evil.” (El Ministerio Evangélico [GW] 152.2) 2. “Sometimes men and women decide in favor of the truth because of the weight of evidence presented, without being converted. The minister's work is not done until he has urged upon his hearers the necessity of a change of heart. In every discourse fervent appeals should be made to the people to forsake their sins and turn to Christ.” (GW 159.1) 3. “The certain and effectual means of attaining this is the surrender of the soul to God. He will direct the intellect and affections so that they will center upon the divine and eternal, and then will they possess energy without rashness, for all the powers of the mind and of the whole being will be elevated, refined, and directed in the loftiest, holiest channel.” (Testimonios para la Iglesia, tomo 2 [2T] 503.1) 4. “It is a delicate matter to deal with minds. Only He who reads the heart knows how to bring men to repentance. Only His wisdom can give us success in reaching the lost... The love of Christ, manifested in word and act, will win its way to the soul, when the reiteration of precept or argument would accomplish nothing.” (El Ministerio de Curación [MH] 163.3) Estos pasajes muestran que, según Elena de White, el predicador debe ir más allá de la instrucción intelectual y buscar una obra profunda en el corazón, de modo que la mente y la voluntad se sometan a Dios. La predicación debe ser acompañada de un llamado ferviente al cambio de vida y a la entrega del corazón a Cristo, no solo a la aceptación intelectual de la verdad. Referencias académicas: - White, E.

La idea de que "la obra del evangelista no termina con una decisión; es necesario cuidar y alimentar a la semilla para que crezca hasta la madurez" está claramente reflejada en los escritos de Elena de White. Aquí algunos extractos relevantes que confirman esta enseñanza: 1. “The work should not stop when the meetings on the camp ground close. Doctrines have been presented that are new and strange to the people. Those who are convicted and who desire to accept the truth, will have to meet the most determined and subtle opposition. Ministers, friends, and acquaintances will put forth every effort to catch away the seeds of truth sown in the heart. We must not leave the seed to be thus caught away. We must not allow it to wither for want of moisture.” (6T 74.1) 2. “Again, after individuals have been converted to the truth, they need to be looked after. The zeal of many ministers seems to fail as soon as a measure of success attends their efforts. They do not realize that these newly converted ones need nursing—watchful attention, help, and encouragement. These should not be left alone, a prey to Satan's most powerful temptations; they need to be educated in regard to their duties, to be kindly dealt with, to be led along, and to be visited and prayed with. These souls need the meat apportioned to every man in due season.” (4T 68.3) 3. “The sowers of the seed have a work to do in preparing hearts to receive the gospel. In the ministry of the word there is too much sermonizing, and too little of real heart-to-heart work. There is need of personal labor for the souls of the lost. In Christlike sympathy we should come close to men individually, and seek to awaken their interest in the great things of eternal life. Their hearts may be as hard as the beaten highway, and apparently it may be a useless effort to present the Saviour to them; but while logic may fail to move, and argument be powerless to convince, the love of Christ, revealed in personal ministry, may soften the stony heart, so that the seed of truth can take root.” (COL 57.1) 4. “The life and character will show the nature and quantity of the seed sown. But the work of cultivating is the work of a life-time. The principles of truth once planted in the soul, are to be carried out in the daily duties of life. The growth of Christian character is gradual—like the advancement of the natural plant through its various stages of development. But nevertheless the progress is continual. As in nature, so it is in grace, the plant must either grow or die.” (2SP 243.3) Estos pasajes muestran que, según Elena de White, la labor del evangelista no termina con la decisión inicial, sino que es necesario acompañar, nutrir y cuidar a los nuevos creyentes para que la semilla de la verdad crezca hasta la madurez espiritual.

La idea de que Dios desea que sus obreros sean hombres y mujeres entregados, que se sometan a su voluntad y usen la Biblia y la oración como armas victoriosas, está claramente reflejada en los escritos de Elena de White. Aquí algunos extractos relevantes con su autenticidad confirmada: 1. “The Lord God of Israel desires us to link up in holy union with Himself and exercise the living faith that works by love and purifies the soul. He desires that we shall be a working corps of laborers endowed with adaptability for His service, and to such He promises power to win a glorious victory for Him.” (9T 87.2) 2. “God calls for those who are at ease in Zion to be up and doing. Will they not listen to the Master's voice? He wants prayerful, faithful workers who will sow beside all waters... Bible readers and Christian workers will receive the glorious prize, and hear the ‘Well done, thou good and faithful servant: ... enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.’” (4T 76.1) 3. “The Lord is waiting to manifest through His people His grace and power. But He requires that those who engage in His service shall keep their minds ever directed to Him. Every day they should have time for reading the word of God and for prayer. Every officer and every soldier under the command of the God of Israel needs time in which to consult with God and seek His blessing. If the worker allows himself to be drawn away from this, he will lose his spiritual power.” (6T 253.2) 4. “Claim the promises of God. The Lord will do all for you that he did for Daniel, if you will co-operate with him as Daniel did. You may be conquerors through humble, earnest trust in your Redeemer. As delegated messengers to whom is assigned a special work, he wants you to become men of spiritual power.” (GW92 239.1) Estos pasajes muestran que, según Elena de White, Dios desea obreros consagrados, sometidos a su voluntad, que usen la Biblia y la oración como armas para alcanzar la victoria espiritual y cumplir su misión.

La idea de que "no basta atraer a quienes escuchan; debemos inspirarlos a una decisión práctica y a un compromiso de seguir a Jesús hasta el fin" está claramente reflejada en los escritos de Elena de White. Aquí algunos extractos relevantes con su autenticidad confirmada: 1. “Christ's words were verily to the ruler the invitation, ‘Choose you this day whom ye will serve.’ Joshua 24:15. The choice was left with him. Jesus was yearning for his conversion. He had shown him the plague spot in his character, and with what deep interest He watched the issue as the young man weighed the question! If he decided to follow Christ, he must obey His words in everything. He must turn from his ambitious projects. With what earnest, anxious longing, what soul hunger, did the Saviour look at the young man, hoping that he would yield to the invitation of the Spirit of God!” (DA 520.1) 2. “Everyone who connects himself with the church makes in that act a solemn vow to work for the interest of the church and to hold that interest above every worldly consideration. It is his work to preserve a living connection with God, to engage with heart and soul in the great scheme of redemption, and to show, in his life and character, the excellency of God's commandments in contrast with the customs and precepts of the world. Every soul that has made a profession of Christ has pledged himself to be all that it is possible for him to be as a spiritual worker, to be active, zealous, and efficient in his Master's service. Christ expects every man to do his duty; let this be the watchword throughout the ranks of His followers.” (5T 460.1) 3. “True conversion is a radical change. The very drift of the mind and bent of the heart should be turned and life become new again in Christ.” (4T 16.4) 4. “The work of the apostles of Christ was to educate and train men and women to publish the good tidings of a crucified and risen Saviour. Every soul converted to the gospel felt under solemn obligation to the Lord Jesus, to teach others the way of salvation. This is the spirit that should animate us.” (GW92 375.2) Estos pasajes muestran que, según Elena de White, no basta con atraer a las personas; es necesario inspirarlas a tomar una decisión práctica y a comprometerse a seguir a Jesús hasta el fin.
