Let The Redeemed of the Lord Say So

Say Something!!!

"And they overcame him by the Blood of the Lamb and the words of their testimony."

Recently I've been thinking about the power of the testimony. What is a testimony? A testimony is when you recount something that happened to you or that you witnessed. Just like in court a witness comes to testify. Those of us that are Christians also have a testimony. Our testimonies can vary from person to person and subject to subject. It can be about how the Lord saved you radically or how He healed you or how He came through for you when there was no other way, or how He protected you from harm. Bottom line is we all have a testimony.

What then do we do with our testimony? We're supposed to say something. It says we overcame by the words of our testimony. Not the thoughts of our testimony. We always have to remember and recount what the Lord has done for us. I've heard Bill Johnson of Bethel church say that the root of the word remember in Hebrew means seed. So when we remember what God has done and say it, we are sowing the seed for a repeat of that testimony and sealing our victory. Saying your testimony is essentially rehearsing your victories.

Realize that you have a testimony today and say it.
