Revelation 12:11 NIV
“They triumphed over him by the Blood of the LAMB and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.”
In the vast library of life, each of us are blessed with a story unique to our experiences, struggles, and triumphs. These narratives, when we share them, have the power to inspire, uplift, and even transform people’s lives. Our stories, like threads in a tapestry, weave together to create a beautiful picture of GOD’s great work of redemption in our lives.
Revelation 12:11 speaks of triumph over the devil through our testimony. When we share our stories, we overcome the power of the devil by the BLOOD of the LAMB and by the word of our testimony.
Our experiences of GOD’s work in our lives, whether joyful or challenging, become powerful tools in GOD’s hands to bring healing, recovery and redemption to others. GOD is the ultimate storyteller, and in CHRIST, HE has entrusted us with unique stories in HIS grand narrative. Our very own testimonies can resonate with people who may need some encouragement, wisdom, guidance and direction. The LORD can use us to empower others in their struggles against the devil.
Over the years since I got born again, I have learned that knowing and sharing my story is an honor, a privilege and a responsibility. We should never withhold our testimonies, for in doing so, we may miss an opportunity to offer a hopeful light to someone in darkness. The blood that JESUS shed on the cross enables us to overcome Satan as we share HIS involvement in our lives through our Christian experiences and struggles in real life. GLORY TO GOD!
Prayer:
ABBA FATHER, thank You for the gift of storytelling. Help us to recognize the power of our testimonies and give us the courage to openly share them for Your praise, honor and glory. In JESUS’ powerful Name. Amen.
