The Power Of Testifying

The Power Of Testifying

And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡. - Rev 12:11

Most of the time, we will hear teachers of the Word talking about overcoming the enemy (in the area of healing) by His blood and our testimonies. But they almost never talk about the most crucial key to overcome the enemy ----- that is, to love not our lives even unto death.

When we are self-focused, we are earthly-minded. Only when we are Christ-focused do we become heavenly-minded (Col 3:1-3). 

To testify for the purpose of self-benefit is to be self-focused. In that way, you won't overcome the enemy.

To testify for the purpose of exalting Him is to be Christ-focused. That destroys both the nature and the works of the devil.

On the other hand, there is another school of thoughts when it comes to healing testimonies. Some told me this, "Wilson, even though all my symptoms have left me, I am not going to testify or write about it. Medically, there is no cure. The medical review can be good but I can't be sure that the symptoms won't come back. I don't want to testify first, and end up tarnishing the name of God when I am not really healed in the end."

Well, in true honesty, they are afraid of tarnishing their own reputation, not God. God is way more secure than that. The self-absorbed mindset prevents them from testifying and walking in faith. Because they love their lives and stop the power of testimony, they will not overcome the enemy. He will come and steal, kill and destroy.

Out of the ten lepers, only one returned to testify and glorify God. Only he was made whole (having all missing limbs re-created). There is power when you testify what He did for you ---- even if you haven't seen the full manifestation of wholeness.

When you testify the works of God, you nullify the works of the enemy.

God is most glorified when you are most satisfied in Him.
