“Come and hear, all you who fear God, And I will declare what He has done for my soul. I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear. But certainly God has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer, Nor His mercy from me!”
Psalms 66:16-20 NKJV
One of the most underused weapons in the Body of Christ today is the weapon of testimonies.
Testimonies about what G-d has done for ME and for YOU build faith and make the G-d of the Bible come alive.
Come and Hear what He’s done for me!!!
He REDEEMED my life at 2 from death when I had spinal meningitis.
He RESCUED me from an abusive first marriage. I thought there was no way out – I prayed – and He literally rescued me.
He SAVED me! Who I am today is completely opposite the person I was in 1997. He completely transformed me through His Son and His Word.
He DELIVERED me in 2011 from suicidal ideation that plagued me since the age of 8.
He RESCUED Randal and I from death in 2016 on I35 in Dallas when a car jumped the median and came careening towards us. It was divine protection and intervention.
He HEALED ME! My vocal chords are moving, shaking, and pain free. That is a miracle!
He HEARD my voice and ANSWERED my prayers! I’ve WITNESSED miracles – Tobias, Joshua, Nathaneal’s adoption, superflectation twins, Alathia and Randal’s births, the prodigal I sent home on 34, Dana and the Word, and so much more.
Ive e seen His hand of protection. I’ve felt His healing touch. I’ve experienced His comfort and protection. I’ve heard His voice guiding me. He’s given me His peace. He’s redeemed and transformed me.
What I have seen with my eyes, what I’ve experienced in my life, starting with the own transformation in my life – I can say with confidence, conviction, and certainty that He IS who He says He is. He is good. He is faithful. He is holy. He is just. He is exalted. He tested and refined me. He took me through fire and flood. BUT – “You brought (me) out to rich fulfillment.”
Psalms 66:12 NKJV
He has brought me into a rich fulfillment!! Not because I deserve it – but because He’s just that good.
It is not time to be silent. It is time to fill the air around us with testimonies of His goodness and use our words to point to Him, not the world. It’s time to make His praise glorious and loud. It’s time to speak and tell and declare of His goodness and His glory. Our lives are EVIDENCE of Him.
Come and hear what He has come for me. Come and TELL what He has done for me. Shout it for the world to hear. With conviction I charge us to: “Say to God, “How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power Your enemies shall submit themselves to You. All the earth shall worship You And sing praises to You; They shall sing praises to Your name.” Selah”
Psalms 66:3-4 NKJV
Father – thank You for Your love, Your truth, and Your goodness. You’ve been so good to me! May my praise ever rise before You alone. May the sound of thanksgiving ever be on my lips. You are good. Your leadership in my life is perfect and You can be trusted. Amen.
