TO GIVE AND BE GIVEN – LESSON 24
THE WORD OF OUR TESTIMONY
The final lesson of this series features both “To Give” and “Be Given.” It deals with “the word of our testimony (witness).”
Jesus’ words on Ascension Day to 400 of his followers is recorded in Acts 1:8 as He said, “Ye shall be witnesses unto (about) me…unto the uttermost part of the earth,” (starting at your hometown). A “witness” gives testimony to something or about someone. So, Jesus clearly commands us “To Give” testimony about Him and His love and salvation to all who will accept Him. The word of our testimony given, is the very means by which we are “to give” the gospel of salvation to others.
Furthermore, by “the word of our testimony” we are to “Be Given” victory over Satan and all the evil that he brings against us. Revelation 12:7-12 speaks of the war of Satan’s forces versus God’s forces in the heavenlies, and the salvation that overcomes Satan through the power of Christ.
Rev. 12:11-12 “Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them (us)…(for) they (us) overcame him (Satan) by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony (witness)…” The testimony from our tongue (our word) gives victory over Satan. Our words contain the power of life and death. As we speak the word (Jesus), we speak life to the believers (you and me) and death to the works of Satan.
So…as we are “To Give” our word of testimony (which glorifies Jesus) we are to “Be Given” victory over evil.
Let us “speak the word of our testimony” freely and often!

SHEILDED BY FAITH
I enjoy movies from ancient history where there are duals fought and swords and shields used as defense. We can learn a lot from those battles that were fought long ago. Some were led by Godly kings while others were led by tyrants. All had one thing in common and that was they had faith in their cause. Their cause might have been righteous, but often it was not.
So, what does faith have to do with a battle? What does faith have to do with us today? Hebrews tells us in 11:1: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” This may be a hard verse to understand. How do we believe in things that we don’t see? How do we know what to believe in?
Once again, we go back to the “cause.” What is it that drives a person to do what they do? Faith is believing that inner voice that directs us. The Holy Spirit is the voice in a believer, while self and Satan are the voices that the unbeliever listens to and are led by.
Faith in simple terms for a believer is “simply believing God meant what he said.” In other words, if it is a promise in the bible then it is ours to believe!
Faith is the shield that wards off the darts that Satan throws at us. Like those old movies, there will always be a battle, but faith is our defense shield. We see the enemy for what he is and use the Word of God as a shield against him. We cannot win any spiritual/physical battle without faith in God and His Word.
We must remember this though, that Jesus has already won the victory. Satan is a defeated foe through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. We go into battle as victors taking back what Satan has stolen. We are armed with this shield of faith and know that the fiery darts that Satan throws at us will fall defeated to the ground when we battle in the name of Jesus. Jesus is the faith in us. Jesus is our shield. He is our defense. When we put our faith in him and his word we win every time. Will there be bruises and scars? Yes, that often comes with the battle, but Jesus is the one that binds us up. He is the one that gives us faith to sustain us through these battles. He is our commander in chief that leads us to victory.
Just make sure you take the shield of faith with you and not be presumptuous to do any battle in your own strength and you will win. How do we know the plan of attack? We spend time with the commander in chief in the war room of prayer and get the battle plan! That’s where our faith is built up and we come forth strong to conquer in the name of Jesus!
Have faith my friends. Without faith it is impossible to please God! Let it be your shield.

Prophetic Word
As given to Helen Sanders
April 20, 2016
You would ask is this the time, and I would say that time is in my hands. I am preparing and I am implementing what will come to my earth soon. For nation will rise against nation, and there shall be floods, and earthquakes, there shall be pestilence and violence like you have never seen before. I am bringing the shaking and the fires to my earth, and I will see to it that all things are purified. There is a great shaking going on, have I not told you that? Why would you be surprised to see these things happening? I am in the shaking saith the Lord, and I will see things shaken until they cannot be shaken anymore. You shall see things come to dust that stood tall, and you shall see things become tall that many took for dust. You will see these things with your eyes, and my word shall be carried out. I am preparing and I am in the times. I shall say it again, I am preparing and I am in the times. These events are being played out on my schedule, and not on man’s time frame. You are seeing things as prophesied of old, and yes, they shall surely come to pass before that great and terrible day of the Lord. Things are changing rapidly, and they shall surely speed up saith the Lord, you will see these things change, and you will tell others of the magnitude of my power, for nothing can stop the shaking, for I have declared it, and I have spoken, and it shall surely come to pass. Your nation has crossed over the threshold of its destiny, and you shall see it fall, and then from the dust there will be a rising, and there are many that will stay the course, but there are many who have called me Lord that shall perish. For I test the heart, and the heart that stays the course is the heart that is mine saith the Lord. It will not be the ones that have said it in their minds, but have never received it into their hearts. Those that are of my heart desire to change, and they are the ones that shall see these things through, just as the days where the three went into the fiery furnace and received no smoke or burning on them, the same thing shall happen to those of my heart. They shall be in the fire but not be burned. They shall not smell of smoke. But these three spent time with me, and did not compromise. They did not love their lives unto death. Surely they fought the fight of the flesh, but they did not yield to it. They went beyond the flesh, and walked in the spirit with me, and I delivered them. I would say to you now, my children, and cast aside every weight so you can walk with me in the spirit. Let go of every stronghold that would hold you back. Do not despise those that are walking in the spirit. Yearn for the things of the spirit my children; yearn for them as a soul longs for the love of God. Seek after me and I will be there to see you through. Change is here saith the Lord. Brace yourself for it, and yield to my Spirit as He leads you in the path of righteousness saith the Lord.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION
God is enlarging your territory and the battle you’ve been in has no doubt intensified. Therefore it probably seems like everything that can go wrong is going wrong. Just hang in there for no matter how impossible things may be looking to you in the natural; The enemy and his imps absolutely cannot DETAIN what God has ORDAINED. It’s now time for you to break free from those negative and small minded thinkers you’ve picked up along the way.; And surround yourself with like minded faith talkers and faith walkers. They will help you to go over and not go under. You may want to check out what God says about things; According to His Word...There’s so many more that’s for you... Than those who are against you. (2 Kings 6:16) So stand strong and stay open to God’s endless opportunities and His fabulous possibilities. Even in this critical hour you’re now in...God is working all things out in your favor...Bringing breakthrough instead of a breakdown. Just always remember that God did not bring you this far to leave you now. So you can go ahead and get yourself ready to receive all that’s coming to you. There’s coming a big breakout of breakthroughs for you; Even though the enemy had a breakdown on his agenda. That’s just not for you; Not now and not ever. For there’s not a breakdown in your future...But God has a breakout of breakthroughs in store for you!
