Revelation 12:10-11, (KJV) And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Have you every wondered why should I share my testimony?
We should share our testimony because in doing so, we are glorifying God showing our appreciation and thanksgiving to Him for what He has done in our lives, our hearts, our mind, body, soul and spirit along the lines of healing and delivering us, making us over, transforming our mind, giving us a new thought process, a new way of thinking, a new way of talking, a new of walking, that not only brings glory and honor to God but God uses our testimony to encourage others, to save, heal, deliver, make them over, transform their mind, give them a new thought process, a new way of thinking, a new way of talking, a new way walking.... As we witness to others and share our testimony, we are passing on the baton to the next person, each one reaching one, helping one, encouraging one (all together glorifying God) as we continue to tell what the Lord has done for us!
Sharing our confession in our testimony also strengthens us and causes the enemy to back up off of us...because it is also a form of praise, it helps us to obtain mercy, forgiveness, it causes us to prosper and God cleanses us from all unrighteousness!
Proverbs 28:13, He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
1 John 1:9, If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Two of my favorite stories in the bible of people that shared their testimonies and led many to Christ are in:
Mark 5th chapter - The Man at the tomb
John 4th Chapter - The Woman At The Well
The turning point of both of their breakthroughs came when they met a man name JESUS! The turning point of other people's breakthrough, came when the man at the tomb and the woman at the well, went abroad and share their testimony, (their anointed stories) of what JESUS did for them. Glory hallelujah, that's something to shout about! Praise Your name JESUS!
Isaiah 43:10-12, (KJV) 10 "You are my witnesses," declares the LORD,
"and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me
and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. 11 I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior.12 I have revealed and saved and proclaimed— I, and not some foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "that I am God.
Do you have a DARE TO BE DIFFERENT TESTIMONY?
What has the Lord done for you? Do you have a life changing testimony to share with someone, to encourage someone, to inspire someone? If God did it for you, surely He can do it for somebody else but how will they know if you do not share your testimony?
