Testimony

What does an effectively used testimony look like? What does it sound like? What the heck is it used for? Struggle, struggle, struggle. Revelation! God uses testimonies for several different reasons, on several different occasions. Durr.

Testimonies are like meeting someone's parents. Sometimes when you talk to somebody you think "Where did this person come from?" annnd then you meet their parents:] Testimonies have the same effect. How better to know someone then to know how they fell in love with their savior?

Bill Johnson writes about the power of the testimony in this book, "Release the Power of Jesus." He says that testimonies build faith in others. He then gives millions of examples. I believe him. I guess for some reason people see themselves in other people /shrug. If my testimony can inspire someone's faith, then praise the Lord!

Plus, with all of the crazy lovely things that God does, how can people not share?! Acts 4:20 says, "For we cannot but speak of the things we have seen and heard." Yay:]] So let's talk about Him and the awesome things He has done in our lives.
