This testimony is for those that know the Shepard's voice.
There is a righteousness that is higher than the law. God see's the beginning and the end to all matters.
Even things we hold as righteousness concerning how to love one another. God knows better.
I was in a chat room once that had text and sound. We were all enjoying an older man on the mic giving his testimony. How he came to know Jesus.
People were posting scriptures agreeing with the things he was saying.
We were all being thoroughly blessed.
I felt that still small voice inside me say "Type in the room how to give a testimony."
I thought to myself, how rude it would be to type in the room how to give testimony when this guy is doing beautifully. If he was watching text he would become introverted and we are all being blessed.
I heard it again. I couldn't deny the peace. I knew it from when i read my bible. It gets thick.
Over the years I've learned some things. When a person is asked to give their testimony at church. They get in front of that mic and talk about their old lives and how terrible they were. They were only given ten minutes and they realize they
only have 2 minutes to talk about how wonderful Jesus is.
When giving your testimony, make a third about your past. A third about your conversion, and a third about what's happened since coming to know Jesus.
An outline.
I went ahead and posted it reluctantly in the room.
The man on the mic wasn't watching the room. He didn't miss a beat. Went on blessing our socks off.
About five minutes later, when he finishes, a woman comes to the mic and says
"(My screenname). I just wanted to thank you for being obedient to Jesus.
My pastor asked me to give my testimony on Sunday and I had no idea where to start. I got a piece of paper and a pencil and sat down in front of the computer.
I bowed my head and prayed and when I looked up you posted that."
I honestly thought I was being impolite.
