Sharing testimony releases the presence

“Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.” 1 Chronicles 16:24 (NIV).

God wants so much more out of us than good intentions and good excuses. We all have good intentions, ‘I am going to start serving at the local Care and Share’, I am going to pray at the mall for others, I am going to teach Sunday School’, etc.  We all have excuses, ‘too busy, too old, too young’. 

 

It is time the lip service to King JESUS stops. It’s time to get up and go to work furthering the kingdom of God. You further the kingdom by releasing the presence of the LORD and you release the presence by sharing testimony.

Keep in front of you what the LORD has done and what he is doing now. This will give you the strength and courage to face what is next. Don’t dwell on what hasn’t happened.

A friend who had the odds stacked against her, but had a lot of prayer warriors lifting her up, told me this week that her last EKG was perfect. In April she went through a seven hour procedure, Cardiac Ablation, to destroy areas of her heart that were malfunctioning. Now it shows up perfect!

A woman that couldn’t afford a doctor in Southern Asia was in lots of pain and danger from an abscessed arm. Three days after the prayer warriors went to work from around the world, I received a report from her son, ‘her pain is gone and she is doing fine’!

The more I share about what the LORD is doing in these days, the more I hear about answered prayer. Yes, the LORD still hears prayers and he still answers prayers. Pray for others and watch the glory of the LORD parade in front of you.

“All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord; they will bring glory to your name.” ~ Psalm 86:9 (NIV).

Glory to God...JESUS showed up!

God has a way of getting our attention, huh? I was sitting in church a couple Sundays ago when the LORD put on my mind Luke 7:21. Luke 7:21…Luke 7:21…it kept repeating in my head over and over again until I finally opened up my bible and turned to Luke 7:21.

It is written…“At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind.” Luke 7:21 (NIV).

O.K. So, I am sitting and listening to a sermon being given by a pastor hobbling with a crutch across the stage on a replaced knee gone bad, but the message I am getting from God that day is… “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8 (NIV).

Hey, I am slow for sure, but the take away for me from those two scriptures was that Jesus healed many and that same JESUS is alive in me and is the same yesterday and today and forever.

And that’s a fact! Our JESUS is still in the business of healing and wants you to bring heaven to earth as you pray for His glory to show up. The Holy Spirit is in us all, but pray that the Holy Spirit will be upon us and work through us and witness the amazing power of the universe set people free of diseases and sicknesses.

My wife and I, clothed with the power on high, prayed for this pastor, and to no surprise four days later the pastors knee quit hurting and the crutch has been thrown to the side. Knee surgery has been canceled. Thank you JESUS. We thank you and praise you and give you all the glory.

Are we ever so glad we prayed with this pastor. If we had not prayed we would have robbed our LORD of receiving glory. We got to give JESUS all He paid for, ‘forget not all his benefits-who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases’ Psalm 103:3 (NIV).

May this story propel you to get on with doing your Father’s work. We are here to glorify God. That’s exactly what we are called to do! Pray for God’s healing hand to touch others. It is not about us going to heaven it’s about us bringing heaven here.

“LORD, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, LORD. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy.” Habakkuk 3:2 (NIV).
