Your Testimony Strengthens Others. Did you know that we get strengthen of of your and other peoples Testimony. Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death Your testimony is about what you have experienced – what you have seen and heard. A real Christian can talk about their experiences with God through Jesus Christ. We as Christians are called to a relationship of real communication with the Son of God. God comes to live inside us. Things change. God deals with every person in a different way.

The more Christians that come forward and talk about how God has intervened in their life, the more people will begin to realize that God is for real, miracles do happen, and prayer works. This will inspire others to seek God and turn from their sins so that they too can know the peace and satisfaction that comes to a person who truly gives their life over to God.


Under Gods Command

2 Corinthians 1:3-5 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.

Many think that when God comforts us, our troubles should go away. But if that were always so, people would turn to God only out of a desire to be relieved of pain and not out of love for him. We must understand that being comforted can also mean receiving strength, encouragement, and hope to deal with our troubles. The more we suffer, the more comfort God gives us.

Lets Bring it Home: If you are feeling overwhelmed, allow God to comfort you. Remember that every trial you endure will help you comfort other people who are suffering similar troubles.


Under Gods Command

2 Corinthians 12:09-10 – But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.  That is why, for  Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties, For when I am weak, than I am strong. 

0Although God did not remove Paul’s physical affliction, he promised to demonstrate his power in Paul.  The fact that God’s peer is displayed in weak people should give us courage.  Though we reorganize our limitations, We will not congratulate ourselves and rest at that.  Instead, we will turn to God to seek pathways for effectiveness.

When we are strong in abilities or resources, we are tempted to do God’s work on our own, and that can lead to pride.  When we are weak, allowing God to fill us with his power, then we are stronger than we could ever be on our own.  God does not intend for us to seek to be weak, passive, or ineffective-life provides enough hindrances and setbacks without us creating them.

Lets Bring it Home: We must rely on God for our effectiveness rather than simply on our own energy, effort, or  talent.  Our weakness not only helps develop Christian character, it also deepens our worship, because in admitting our weakness, we affirm Gods’s strength. those obstacles come, we must depend on God.  Only his power will make us effective for hims and will help us do work that has lasting value.

Gideon defeats the Midianites

Judges 7:21 When each man held his position around the camp, all the Midianites ran, crying out as they fled. 

Gideon’s warriors simply watched as the army of Midian fell into panic, confusion, and disordered retreat.  Not one man had to draw a sword to defeat the enemy.  Gideon’s small army could never have brought about such a victory in its own strength.  God wanted to demonstrate to Israel that victory depends not on strength or numbers, but on obedience and commitment to him.

Remember in Chapter 6:12 When right from the start God called Gideon a mighty warrior.  God told Gideon to go save Israel out of the Midian’s hand, and its He who is sending you.   Gideon said, how can he save Israel, his clan was the weakest in Manasseh, and he was the least of his family.  But the LORD assured him that He would be with him.  Gideon failed to see how God could work through him.  Notice how God uses the least to shame the great.

Lets bring it home: God is with us today, and we got to move and go forth as a mighty warrior for Christ.  We can’t sit back and keep questioning God, when he tells us in his word that

I will never leave you or forsake you, I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me, No weapon form against you will prosper and what can man do to me.  We got to stay in his word and be obedient to his commands, not just on the outside, but the inside.
