THE VALUE OF WRITTEN TESTIMONY Through written testimonies Gods people may reach others who would never enter a church, attend a Christian fellowship or listen to Christian broadcasting, as well as those who do - again and again. They provide the greatest evangelical opportunity most Christians will ever have. They awaken the soul's hunger, reaching into the secret places of the readers' hearts. There, where no one may watch, where the Holy Spirit may urge, things are considered that would not be otherwise allowed. And without the threat of debate or shame, the soil is enriched and seeds of faith take root and hearts are opened for the revelation of the Holy Spirit, "Jesus is Lord." And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven. Matt 16:17 They lift up Jesus, holding forth hope to hurting people and urge for decision. They set the Bible into present time, making it relevant for today's challenges. They enter places we can not go; speaking persuasively to people we could never approach, and may never see. They will be found in countries and among societies we can only imagine. The poor and simple may thus turn the hearts of the lofty and proud. A child may move a king. They allow the writer to hone his words to reveal God's love, so that readers may taste the love of Jesus, as he has. Written testimonies give readers the next thing to a personal experience with Jesus demonstrating His comfort, His love and power to deliver and heal.-something a tract cannot do. They will be saved and reread, copied, passed to friends and repeated in conversations the writer cannot hear. It is a traveling ambassador for Jesus. The written word does not fade after it is spoken. They will continue to bear fruit in your stead even after we are gone! They encourage the strong, build up the weak, and rescue the lost. They offer a relationship with God-something the New Age, occult, and eastern religions cannot they enable you to easily witness to a host of people. It is an important and special opportunity for stewardship of our greatest legacy, God's Grace to us, personally. A nation may only be changed in the hearts of it's people . So what would happen if everyone in this nation had a taste of Jesus? Abortion clinics would close without legislation. Porno shops, adult book stores and occult book stores would close. Lewd programming would cease. Drug abuse, alcohol consumption and tobacco sales would rapidly decline. Hopeless poverty, malnutrition and filth would vanish. Murder would be rare. vendettas, thievery, insults and even automobile accidents would subside dramatically. The churches would overflow and there would be adequate funding for every good cause And America would once again be under the mantle of God's protection If you would like to contribute to this ministry please make your check to or contact us. |
