The Power of Your Testimony

What' Important?

In a way, this trip has been eye opening for me.  Not as an “aha” moment but in way of eternal versus temporal.  Kim and I left from home in Montana on the 19th of June.  Today is July 4th and we have seen so many new things that it’s hard to remember them all.  Even when we talk about the trip at dinner time almost without fail one of us will bring up a place we visited that other says, “Oh yeah, I forgot about that place”.  But what sticks in my mind, without fail, is the people we have met.  The places are fun, cool and educational, most of the time, but once I see it, my cup is full and my focus is on what’s next on the agenda.   But the people bring a whole different emotion.  We have had the opportunity to share our testimony with many people along the way and that interaction just can’t be beat.  I mean it’s an eternal feeling as we share and they share it's like together we are building God's Kingdom. And, as Kim and I share it has become so obvious who are believers, who are on the fence, and who just doesn't care. we can easily tell just by their body language and their facial expressions but each, also takes on it's own form of energy. And, on occasion, Holy Spirit totally grabs a person and it’s like they are mesmerized by His presence.  Those individuals know what they feel isn’t normal and on many occasions they don’t want to let us leave. they say things like, “I feel Jesus when I touch you” or “When I look at you, I see Jesus” or "I just want to hug you".  I know what they see and feel is not me, but Jesus/Holy Spirit shining through me and touching them and they just can’t get enough of God.  

Jesus is Addicting!

To tell you the truth, Jesus is addicting.  I want everyone to know Him, see Him and feel Him.  I want everyone to understand how much He loves them and I want them all to feel His presence.  I want them to know, while here on earth, that life is so much better with Jesus in it, and eternity with Him is really the only way to exist.  Yes, I know there is another choice, but once you experience Jesus, the other choice becomes obsolete. Once you know Him, I mean truly know His touch, His love, His compassion, And His voice, you wont want live without Him.  When you realize life without Him is not an option then you want everyone to know the same feeling.   The lost become found, the depressed begin to rejoice, fear becomes courage, hate becomes love.  Can you imagine a life like that?  That’s the power that is within in your testimony.  Be courageous and let it out and brace yourself for what comes next.  

May You Always Walk in the Truth!
