TESTimonies pt.1

As Spoken Word Church has grown and having seen countless people visit with us, I continue to get confirmation that there IS a GOD. Of course we believe in God, but there are times in every Christian’s life where our belief level is decreased a little or a lot at a given time.

After hearing various different stories regarding past experiences with demons, drug use, times of incarceration, various types of abuse, and so on, I couldn’t help but realize that there have been many people who have experienced the exact same circumstances in life that never got to live another day, or be able to look back on “what was”.

It’s one thing to have seen movies with characters or people of talk shows who have experienced horrible situations and have made bad decisions, and it’s another to actually sit side by side with them in real life. I can’t help but think about how awesome their testimonies are and how powerful they can be to help others, within and outside the church community. Haven’t you noticed that we as human beings are more at ease knowing that someone else has experienced the same things or who are more experienced in the path that we were/are embarking on…now think about each of our testimonies and how much of an impact those testimonies would have on other. If only one person was affected, that makes all the differences in the world and in the body of Christ.

I sometimes think, “What kind of testimony do I have?” , have always associated testimonies with stories of miraculous experiences with after drug use or after having a horrible accident. I realized that even experiences such as simply being into an occult related “fad” and coming out of it, is just as much as a powerful testimony as those who have experienced obvious life threatening situations.


What’s your testimony?
