Tell Your Story!

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.

Matthew 13:34-35 (MSG)

All Jesus did that day was tell stories—a long storytelling afternoon. His storytelling fulfilled the prophecy: I will open my mouth and tell stories; I will bring out into the open things hidden since the world’s first day.

Matthew 5:15 (NLT)

No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.

Joel 1:3 (NLT)

Tell your children about it in the years to come and let your children tell their children. Pass the story down from generation to generation.
