GIVING TESTIMONIES IS WARFARE

11/19/2022

"Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth." (Jeremiah 1:8-9)

One of the tactics of the enemy is to tamper with witnesses if he cannot stop them from testifying. And one subtle way he does this is by instilling the fear of people's faces or the fear of their rejection through thoughts.

However, the Bible tells us how to deal with this subtility of the devil. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 says, "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ..." That fear that you might be shunned or jeered at for sharing your testimony or that you might offend the sensibilities of the person you are trying to reach for Christ is the enemy's last weapon to tamper with you, after which, he has nothing else.

Your job is to cast down these thoughts of fear by speaking in tongues and with your confession of the word of God. As you speak in other tongues, declare that you are Christ's witness and that you are testifying by the power of the Holy Ghost. Then, you go ahead and testify before others.

Saint, you must recognize that it is the enemy's work to try to dissuade or even kill witnesses of Jesus Christ so that they do not testify before others but it is your responsibility to maintain a solid front in spite of his schemes. Testifying before others about what the Lord has done in your life is an advance form of spiritual warfare.

If the enemy is not casual about stopping you from testifying through doubts and fears that he projects at you, neither should you. Wake up in the morning, thinking about running him out of town by telling someone about God's goodness to you.

As you share your testimonies of what God has done for you, you'd be setting off another round of testimonies in those who hear you.

God bless you.

Faith-Filled Confession

I am enabled by God to testify of His goodness and no machination of the enemy to try to stop me is effective against me in this season. I am a testifier and by my testimonies tsunamis of testimonies are activated in the lives of my hearers. Hallelujah!
