I created every precious soul, child and adult alike, to love a story. Stories bring life in the telling and soften hearts. They break down barriers, captivate imaginations, teach and inspire. My eternal Word tells the story of My love and redemptive purpose for mankind.
Even My Son Jesus intrigued His followers with stories and parables which taught Kingdom truths, demonstrated by the healings and miracles which ensued. He also used stories to bring correction and expose the hidden motives of injustice, religion and pride.
Don’t underestimate the power of your story to awaken people to My love and to the Holy Spirit conviction of sin. My child, your story reveals an aspect of My nature and sovereign power that cannot be contradicted or denied. This is why I command you to tell your testimony to those I bring you, your family, children and to pass it on down the generational line.
In these days of great uncertainty in the world, your testimony shared with a neighbour or friend may bring light to the darkness, hope to the hopeless and direction for the lost. Your story is an opportunity to reassure the broken and hurting of My goodness and My purpose for their life. It is an invitation from My heart to taste and see and builds faith in the one I am drawing to Myself.
Activation: Why don’t you take time this week to write down your testimony or an aspect of your story that the Lord wants you to share? Pray for opportunities to do so in the days and weeks ahead and be obedient in this when they come.
34 All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables, and He said nothing to them without [using] a parable.
35 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet:
“I WILL OPEN MY MOUTH IN PARABLES;
I WILL UTTER THINGS [unknown and unattainable] THAT HAVE BEEN HIDDEN [from mankind] since the foundation of the world.”Matthew 13:34-35 (AMP)
nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
Matthew 5:15 (AMP)
Tell your children about it,
And let your children tell their children,
And their children the next generation.Joel 1:3 (AMP)
