They overcame the enemy by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” ~ Revelation 12:11
I know many reasons why many of us do not want to tell our story: fear of what others will think, fear of being judged or misunderstood, fear about the reactions from our friends, family and love ones, unresolved feelings of shame and guilt, doubting that our stories have significance. These thoughts are the work of the enemy, to steal, kill and destroy our courage, and can keep us from experiencing the power of the Spirit in us and prevent us from living our best lives but most importantly, it hinders us from advancing the kingdom of God. He renews our strength and gives us grace when we are weak and when we share our story we are displaying our weakness and God's strength; and in all of our weaknesses His strength is made perfect. We must recall and tell the works of God in our lives by sharing our testimony with others. Encourage another as you encourage yourself in the Lord as you go through your life journey. Your testimony is someone else’s deliverance!
