Word of Our Testimony

Today while on my way to work (I was carpooling so I was actually in the back seat listening to some Paul Wilbur and praying), I had an interesting experience. I know that a couple of people from our church have felt like their peace is being tried. A trial of being fearful that we will fail God, or go back to what we came out of has come against some. We must make sure that we are pure before God, and when the Lord confirms, we must speak out that we can hear ourselves speak the words that cause darkness to flee (what has darkness to do with light). If you know there is nothing between you and God (which God can tell you if you ask), then do not let anything try to come between the two of you.

While I was in the car, I was listening to the song, "Sing of Your Great Love" and something very interesting happened. As I was sitting there, considering the Lord, it was like something was put in my mouth (it reminded me of the roll that God told Ezekiel to eat). I could almost taste it. As I was understanding what this was, and started to consume it, I understood what is was that I was consuming: "I have been set free by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony." As I write this, I know that this is the truth of who we are, we who have overcome, and that God is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him because we do not love this life unto death. The scripture in revelation that corresponds with these words is below.

Revelation 12:10-12
10And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

We have overcome the enemy already, because when Jesus came, He took captivity captive. We are not captive to anything because where the Spirit of the Lord is (we are temples of the Holy Ghost), there is liberty.

I just felt like I should share this, for my own sake, and for those who have battled or are battling this same thing. We have the victory already because the Lord said so. This is when faith needs to arise in us that we may believe the words of His mouth, that it may be accounted unto us for righteousness.

God be glorified in us,
