Death to Self

“When we keep near to Jesus it is He who draws souls to Himself through us, but He must be lifted up in our lives; that is, we must be crucified with Him. It is self in some shape that comes between us and Him, so self must be dealt with as He was dealt with. Self must be crucified, dead and buried with Christ. If not ‘buried,’ the stench of the old man will frighten souls away. If these three steps downwards are taken as to the old man, then the new man will be revived, raised, and seated – the corresponding steps upward which God permits us to take. Then indeed Christ is lifted up in our lives, and He cannot fail to attract souls to Himself. All this is the result of a close union and communion, that is fellowship with Him in His sufferings.”

John Hyde

There is nothing complicated about evangelism or discipleship, John Hyde new the key, death to self. You cannot do anything. It is 100% God. Die to self and live for God 100%.
