All Things: Become Our Testimonies

I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony…”

Revelation 12:10-11 (NKJV)

God shows His plans from beginning to end. He shows flaws in many of His heroes. He shows their doubts, fears, and “embarrassments”. He shows their struggles and bad decisions. Then He shows their glorious conclusions!

  • Like Jacob's scheme to steal Esau’s birthright.

  • Like Joseph’s brother’s terrible envy.

  • Like Samson’s fixation with Delilah.

  • Like David's love affair with Bathsheba.

  • Like Mary Magdalene's demonic past.

  • Like Peter’s 3-time denial of Christ.

  • Like Paul’s persecution of believers. 

Actors, models, and talent for Christ:

All things should become YOUR testimonies. Every terrible trial you’ve endured. Every stupid move and its consequence. Every bad thing you’ve suffered and pushed through.

By the power of the Almighty God, by the Blood of Jesus Christ on a Cross, by the stories He’s given you to share...

Your Deliverer will be glorified! Your overcoming wins will help others.

Why you must share them:

  • Because secrets give Satan a stronghold,

  • Because people hide their darkest torments,

  • Because deep wounds need air and light to heal,

  • Because your openness gives people hope,

  • Because you’re giving them an example… of how they can be delivered, too!

So do what EVERY BIBLE STAR did! Share what went wrong and how to get right! As you’ve most likely heard, I remind you: Tests are meant to become testimonies.

All Things: Become Our Testimonies (Part 11)

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players.’ Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
