The Power of a Testimony
Have you ever heard someone share a story or a testimony about their experience with God? Did you find it impacting you in a way that felt like you lived it? This is the power of the testimony of God.
At the Transformation Center (and Bethel as a whole) we have a high value for sharing testimonies. Testimonies prophesy what God is doing and build faith for what is possible. Testimonies are an intricate part of living a life filled with hope.
What is a testimony?
Whether you grew up a Christian or you just became one, you’ve probably heard the word testimony before! By definition, a testimony is the evidence or proof provided by the existence or appearance of something.
Our salvation in itself is a testimony. We get to tell the story of how we came to know Jesus! What our life looked like before Him compared to what it looks like now with Him is the testimony of His reality and power.
Anytime we share a story of something God did in our lives or the lives of others, we’re sharing a testimony. We get to bring glory and honor to the Lord when we speak of what He’s doing!
Why is it important to share testimonies?
“...the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy.” -Revelation 19:10
Testimonies are incredibly powerful. When we share a testimony or hear a testimony shared, there is a grace for the same breakthrough released for us and others to grab onto. For example: if you're struggling with severe migraines and you hear a testimony of someone being healed from severe migraines, you can receive that testimony for yourself! You can declare with confidence what God did for them, He can (and wants to) do the same for you!
Sharing testimonies of what He has done helps us to remember and focus on His nature. He IS a God who heals, redeems, restores and frees. This is who He is and what He does! We can reflect on these testimonies in more challenging seasons and hold onto hope that what he has done before He will do again.
Let’s read some testimonies!
We receive numerous testimonies from you all day in and day out of the freedom and breakthrough you’ve received through God’s love and power. We wanted to share a few of them with you today! Let your hope and faith arise to see the impossible take place as you read.
“My life is being transformed, truly. In these last few months, I have learned so much about myself, and seeing it has allowed me to grow and bring Holy Spirit into those areas to bring me freedom! I am so grateful.”
“I learned how to quickly handle my anger and the steps to take before the enemy can get a foothold. God showed up for me in a personal issue in my marriage that same night after my session!”
“I received answers about where God was in my past and answers as to why I have reacted in certain ways. I gained new tools for my well-being and future. God deliverance from past spirits and behaviors.”
“I had a complete circle of healing and peace from…consistent counseling. I have had healing from sexual abuse from the age of a toddler, currently I am 54 years old. My mind has reprocessed and regeneration has taken place. I have physically felt this take place at different times in my brain. I HAVE LOST A PARALYZING FEAR!!!!”
Are you ready to say yes?
True breakthrough and permanent freedom are only one "yes" away. Freedom is your inheritance! Jesus paid our way into freedom. He bore all sin, shame, mistakes, trauma, and pain on His back so we could know a life apart from these things. All it takes is one "yes." One encounter with Him can change everything.
