John 14:13
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father
may be glorified in the Son.
I come in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord of my life and the Saviour of my soul asking for mercy and wisdom in writing this message to all those who will read this. I ask that those who are saved and attending church but are not walking with the Lord to come to know the truth and repent and be set free from the things that are hindering their relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray for all those people who are saved but are not attending church that they would repent and that the Lord would lead them to a Bible- believing and preaching Church that they would start attending again. I pray that the unsaved would come to know the truth about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and that they would become Born Again Christians, allowing Jesus Christ to become the Lord of their lives. I also pray for the Holy Spirit Ministry, that God would open up some doors and enable me to go and minister to others what He has laid upon my heart for the body of Christ. I pray that God would raise up workers that would be able to help by supporting the work of the Holy Spirit Ministry of India.
Rev. 12:11
And 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.
To overcome the evil in this world is not just to overcome those who are against the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but those things that happen to come between me and my walk with the Lord Jesus Christ. The evil could be just a small thing that nobody would know about but the Lord and me. That is why it is so important to speak the truth and not to avoid sharing the victories that I have obtained through the help of the Holy Spirit. To tell others about what the Lord has done for me, is not just to show others that I’m spiritual, but it is to show others what the Lord Jesus Christ has done for me and the fact that I cannot keep from saying so. When I share with others what the Lord has done for me and through me, my intentions must be to encourage others to trust the Lord as I do. When I do this, my actions bring glory and honor to God the Father through the name of my Lord Jesus Christ. When I give the glory to God in the presence of others, I start showing the world as well as the Lord that I Love Him and that my pride in what He has done for me and through me can be seen.
Rev. 3:21
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even
as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
When I came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour of my life, I then became a child of God. The fear of losing my life did no longer inhibit my actions. The Lord Jesus Christ had overcome death for me, and I now live my life in Him and He lives His life through me.
John 1:12
But as many as received him,
to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe
on his name:
The Lord Jesus Christ then proclaims to God the Father that I have become a member of the family of God. Just as my testimony proclaims to the World that I’m a Christian, a follower of Christ.
Matthew 10:32
Whosoever therefore shall confess
me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
The Holy Spirit has sealed my testimony
with his presence in my heart as He placed me into the body of Christ, the
Church. Then as the Scripture tells me, at that moment, I now sit in Christ
at the right hand of God the Father. Just as Jesus is sitting on His Father’s
throne, He is also sitting on the throne of my heart through the presence
of the Holy Spirit who now lives within me.
Galatians 4:6
And because ye are sons, God
hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
If I will not confess (give my testimony) that I’m a Christian before man, the Lord tells me in the Word of God that He will not confess to God His Father that I’m His.
Matthew 10:33
But whosoever shall deny me
before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
My confession is my testimony, and it confirms to others that I’m what I profess to be. It is just like when I was baptized in water, I was declaring to the world that I have died with Christ and that I have been raised into eternal life with him. This is an outward expression of what happened in my heart, just as my spoken words, in my testimony, testify that Jesus Christ lives within my heart.
Proverbs 4:23
Keep thy heart with all diligence;
for out of it are the issues of life.
For what comes out of my mouth represents what is within my heart. That is why I must always pay attention to what I say and to what I do. I’m to do nothing that would cause the Ministry of Jesus Christ to be blamed.
2 Cor. 6:1-4
We then, as workers together
with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. [2]
(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation
have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the
day of salvation.) [3] Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry
be not blamed: [4] But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers
of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
My speech, must always bring glory to the Ministry of Jesus Christ. The words that proceed out of my mouth may be the only Gospel that the hearer may ever hear. That is why it is so important that the words which come out of my mouth must match the Testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Matthew 15:11
Not that which goeth into the
mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth
a man.
For it is just like when I eat good food my body is built up, it is nourished. By speaking good godly words for the world to hear the whole body of Christ is then built up. But when I speak bad words into the world being a Christian, I bring shame to the cause of Christ in me as well as in the world. That’s why I must watch what comes out of my mouth for my words (my testimony) will either build up my body or bring shame to it, as well as the whole body of Christ.
Matthew 15:18
But those things which proceed
out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
My Testimony must be equal with
my
Words plus my Actions:
1 Peter 2:12
Having your conversation honest
among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they
may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of
visitation.
There are some people who will never see the Love of God at work in their lives except through my testimony and my good works. As I thought about this, I came to this conclusion.
James 2:20
But wilt thou know, O vain
man, that faith without works is dead?
This last Scripture tells me that I must have a history of good works, so that they will prove to others that my words (testimony) are not empty but they are backed up by a life of doing what the Word of God tells me to do.
James 2:26
For as the body without the
spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
My testimony is a window that others can look through and see that I have faith in Jesus Christ that I depend upon Him to meet my needs, and that I expect Him to do good things for me and for others though me.
John 14:12
Verily, verily, I say unto
you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater
works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
When I’m alone, my Testimony
must be the same
when I’m behind closed doors.
1 Tim. 2:3
For this is good and acceptable
in the sight of God our Saviour;
I must always remember that whatever I do. I’m being watched by someone. That someone could be a friend or relative, a fellow Christian, or my Pastor. But the one thing that is a fact and will never change that is the Lord is always watching me.
Galatians 2:20
I am crucified with Christ:
nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which
I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me,
and gave himself for me.
You might say how? The answer to that question is this. When I became a child of God the Holy Spirit of God came into my heart to live and to be the Lord of my life. That is why I must always keep in my mind and heart that Jesus Christ is in me and with me no matter what I am involved with or what I may be doing. The Lord said that He would not leave me or forsake me, but that He would send me a Comforter which is the Holy Spirit to lead me and teach me what I am to do to glorify the Lord through my actions and the words that I speak with others.
John 14:26
But the Comforter, which is
the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all
things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto
you.
So please take a look at your own testimony through the Word of God and see if it glorifies the Lord. And if you find that it does not, please pray and ask the Lord to give you the strength and the ability to allow the Holy Spirit to help you to make the changes that need to be made.
Psalm 144:15
Happy is that people, that
is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.
Please stop what you are doing this very moment and ask Jesus Christ by faith to become your Saviour and the Lord of your life.
Romans 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon
the name of the Lord shall be saved.
In doing so you will be able to present a good testimony to others as you walk and talk with the people of the church as well as the people of the world.
Heavenly Father, I ask that you would reveal to the hearts of all those who read this News Letter the truth about their testimony that is seen by other Christians and those who are in the world and are not saved.
1 Tim. 2:4
Who will have all men to be
saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
And for those who are waiting for answers to their prayers, please, help them to say yes when they hear from you and then to submit to your will, that they would see the Holy Spirit working everything out for their good and for your own Glory. Please help me to stay faithful and to continue to write these News Letters to help others to walk as Christ walked upon this earth. I pray all these things in the Name of Jesus Christ my Lord and Saviour, A-Men:
Romans 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon
the name of the Lord shall be saved.
