The POWER of YOUR TESTIMONY.

 The POWER of YOUR TESTIMONY.

First let’s understand what a testimony is.
Noah Webster 1828-TEST'IMONY, noun [Latin testimonium.] A solemn declaration or affirmation made for the purpose of establishing or proving some fact. Such affirmation in judicial proceedings, may be verbal or written, but must be under oath. testimony differs from evidence; testimony is the declaration of a witness, and evidence is the effect of that declaration on the mind, or the degree of light which it affords.

Testimony- Your story of what The Lord has done in your life.
Revelation 12:11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
Did you get that? They over came him, the enemy of your soul, by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. Every time you share your testimony you are participating in spiritual warfare against our enemy. This is especially true when you share it with unbelievers. When you share your testimony of salvation, healing, miracles, anything that God has done for you that is striking a blow against the enemy who is keeping them in bondage. You are also planting seeds for their deliverance.
So think what happens if you don’t share your testimony?
When you share your testimony with other believers it helps to encourage and strengthen their faith.
Revelation 19:10
And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
The spirit of prophecy. What is prophecy supposed to accomplish?
1 Corinthians 14:3
But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.
Prophesy is to edify, exhort and comfort. If it isn’t doing one or more of these 3 it isn’t prophesy.
Many think that prophesy is just about telling the future. It can but it is also firmly proclaiming the Word of the Lord. Both the foretelling and forth telling will include one or more aspects of the 3.
So when you testify of Jes and what He has done in your life you carry that spirit of edification, exhortation and comfort.
Please if you’re a born again believer in Jesus I exhort you to share your testimony as much as you can with as many as you can.

Thoughts from Isaiah 10:27

 Thoughts from  Isaiah 10:27   From Isaiah 10:27 we get the popular, but erroneous, sayings in the church, “the anointing breaks the yoke.” This started from the KJV translation of this verse.  Most of the other English translations have translated it as the anointing oil or fat that breaks the yoke.  The Hebrew word used in this verse is semen, pronounced sheh’-men, which means grease, especially liquid (as from the olive, often perfumed; figuratively, richness:-anointing,xfat (things), x fruitful, oil (-ed) ointment, olive, pine. (Strong’s definition). In looking at every verse where semen is used in the Old Testament it is speaking of the oil or the fat itself and not the specific act of anointing.   Now with a proper understanding of what the verse we can see the real meaning and depth of what it is saying to us even now.  To help with this I have included the verse here from 3 different English translations.    I...

The Price and Cost for more of God and His Presence

  The Price and Cost for more of God and His Presence I was reading an account of a preacher’s experience that I had previous heard him describe before in a sermon. Thought the account was familiar to me this time though it hit different.   The experience was during a time he had spent months desiring and seeking more of God and His Presence.  There were two statements that the preacher made from this account that the Lord highlighted for me.  The first was “My request for more of God carried a price” and the second was from his cry to the Lord “I must have more of You at any cost!”. These statements when I had heard them before sounded very true and I totally had agreed with them.  In fact, they had inspired me.  This time, though, was different.  This time there was at first, for a moment fear and not a Godly fear.  No, it was a fear that the price I would have to pay would be the cost of the life of one or mor...

The Worst Time

  The Worst Time   2 days ago, as I was praying, I said to the LORD that this was the worst time for my house to have a fire. It is winter, construction costs high and getting hire, interest rates are still high and before I could had more to the list Holy Spirit interrupted. He said that actually this was the perfect time. He reminded me of the 2 times in my life that God provided for me the most.  The first when I was going to college and didn’t know how I was going to pay for it. I had no hope for a scholarship yet God gave me one that I didn’t even apply for. We farmed and that year we had a horrible drought and most of our crops were on sandy soil with no irrigation but we had the best year we ever had.  The second time was during the great recession in 08 when I lost my job and there wasn’t a job to replace it. The Lord provided a bunch of small jobs and other people to provide money to cover every bill and more. I was so blessed that I friend I worked with sti...
