Our Powerful Testimonies

As I continue to focus on the issue of Trust in God, it makes me think about the incredible testimonies we witness in our lives and how powerful they are in building us up!

In Hebrews 12 it says: "Therefore then, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth]..." The Bible is full of testimonies ... and we too, have witnessed God's power through His miracles in our own lives.

Think back to answered prayers and God's intervention on your behalf! Ahh ..... remember how your life changed for the better and how it encouraged you?!

Would you be willing to share your testimonies with others ~ to uplift them? If so, please send me your testimonies at michelle@fromtheheartlifecoach.com and I will share some of them in my next blog - to encourage others during their trying times to trust even more in our Powerful and Mighty God! Remember times when God sent someone or something JUST at the right moment; times when in the natural it seemed your back was against the wall or when the doctor's report said you only had a few weeks/months to live and ... by the grace of God ... you walked through your darkest hour! Wow, how compelling to share God's power with others!

Be encouraged, God is always with us no matter what we are walking through "because the Lord is the One who holds 'our' hand." (Psalms 37:24)

God's LOVE and ENCOURAGEMENT to you!

Psalms 77:14-15 (NAS) "You are the God who works wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples. You have by Your power redeemed Your people."

Hebrews 12:1-3 (The Msg) "Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on [giving testimony]? It means we'd better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he's there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!"

John 19:35 (Amp) "And he who saw it (the eyewitness) gives this evidence, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe also."

Acts 4:33 (Amp) "And with great strength and ability and power the apostles delivered their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace (loving-kindness and favor and goodwill) rested richly upon them all."

1 John 5:9-12 (The Msg) "If we take human testimony at face value, how much more should we be reassured when God gives testimony as he does here, testifying concerning his Son. Whoever believes in the Son of God inwardly confirms God's testimony. Whoever refuses to believe in effect calls God a liar, refusing to believe God's own testimony regarding his Son. This is the testimony in essence: God gave us eternal life; the life is in his Son. So, whoever has the Son, has life; whoever rejects the Son, rejects life."
