A Testimony

Gal 1:11-17
11I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that man made up. 12I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.

13For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it. 14I was advancing in Judaism beyond many Jews of my own age and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers. 15But when God, who set me apart from birth and called me by his grace, was pleased 16to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not consult any man, 17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went immediately into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.


Paul is preaching through the words of God, but also through His own testimony here. he speaks of his own experience with the Lord as conviction to those he is sharing the gospel to.

I believe that our experiences and personal testimonies of the Lord are a way to show how much God has changed our lives. Let us use it with the word of the Lord to testify of the Lord's goodness.

Father, I thank you for what you have blessed me with. Let my experience with you be a testimony to others. I want to share with others how great you are in my life and how you have worked in my life. I pray that I may testify of your goodness through your Holy Spirit.
Amen.
