Title: Open declaration or profession, as of faith     
 
 
 
 
 
 













And I fell at his feet to Worship him.     And he said unto me, See you do it not: I am your fellowservant, and of your brothers that have the Testimony of Jesus: Worship God: for the Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy. - Rev 19:10

A Testimony for or against something is a Powerful thing.   It affects the Opinions of the Hearers in one direction or another.   

In a court of Law it can determine a verdict of Guilty or Innocent.   

In marketing a Testimony can sway the undecided to Purchase a product.   

In a Church meeting it can Edify the Hearers.   

To the Unbeliever a Testimony can plant a Seed producing Faith.   

To a Believer it Enables us to Overcome the Enemy:

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. - Rev 12:11
This is one of the most important verses in the book of Revelation for each of us personally.     

We overcome by two actions and one attitude.     The two actions;
1) Jesus shed Blood
2) Our Testimony.     

The one attitude is
1) Being willing to Die for Christ's sake.

To a Disciple it is a Duty:

But you shall Receive Power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and you shall be Witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the Earth. - Act 1:8
We are Weak in the Flesh but by the Power of the HolySpirit we can do all things.     At the top of the list of 'all things' is spreading the Gospel of Salvation by GraceThroughFaith.     

Jesus did not say you will Receive Tongues or Gifts.     He said you will Receive Power to be Witnesses unto Him.     Tongues and Gifts are for the Church which is the BodyOfChrist.

Our Testimony of Jesus is our Light.   We are to let it shine.   

No man, when he has lit a candle, puts it in a secret Place, neither under a bushel, but on a Candlestick, that they which come in may See the Light. - Luk 11:33
We must exercise our Testimony of Jesus Christ.

Darkness is the absence of Light.   All that has to happen for Darkness to set in is for the Light to go out.   

You are the Light of the World.     A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. - Mat 5:14
Jesus is the Light and by receiving Him through the NewBirth by the HolySpirit we become Light.     

We ought to recognize the Responsibility upon us to let our Light shine.

While Jesus was in the world He was the Light.   Now that He is at the Right hand of the Father, we are the Light of the world.   Our Testimony bears Witness to the Truth and Grace of God through Christ Jesus.   

Your Family Needs your Testimony.   
Your friends Need your Testimony.   
Your community Needs your Testimony.   
Our Nation Needs our Testimony.   
The world Needs our Testimony.
