A man gave this remarkable
testimony concerning the Word: "Never compare this Book with other books. Comparisons are dangerous. Never think or never say that this Book contains the Word of God. It is the
Word of God. It is supernatural in origin, eternal in duration, inexpressible in value, infinite in scope, regenerative in power, infallible in authority, universal in interest, personal in application, inspired in totality. Read it through. Write it down. Pray it in. Work it out. And then pass it on."

@tymektt @sinbach @bethany @Berrybunchfamily @Olamide @elasiewniak @dragonski this is so good!
I watched through tears for all involved - those being beaten and killed and those that have hearts without Christ. This fueled the flame of prayer. Thank you for sharing.
Reminder cont'd:
Even with an understanding of who a "witness" is....we need to understand what Witnessing for Jesus actually means.
They needed POWER!
Power (dunamis, Greek - meaning supernatural ability, might)
The very Supernatural Power of God's Spirit!
Only the power of the Holy Spirit would make them the kind of Witnesses that Jesus desired.
The Kind that would advance the Kingdom of God on earth.
Only the Power of the Holy Spirit can empower us to testify the truth to the hearts and minds of Non-Believers and Believers alike.
βπΎWhy?
---Because testifying of Jesus is an act of spiritual warfare!!!!---
Reminder:
Jesus had been resurrected. Jesus had died... crucified and buried!
3 days after his death and burial, He came back to life! They, the Apostles had been wih Him..eaten with Him!
Act 1:4-5 ISV 4 While he was meeting with them, he ordered them, βDonβt leave Jerusalem. Instead, wait for what the Father has promised, about which you heard me speak, 5 because John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit a few days from now.β
And here the Lord Jesus the Christ tells them not to leave Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit had come. The Holy Spirit would come with power, which would make them witnesses.
But were they not witnesses of the Resurrected Lord already??
Was He not standing here Alive!!! Were they not seeing Him and eating with Him????
Who is a witness..is it not related to testifying of what you have actually seen?? They had seen Him, ALIVE!!!!!!
What more did they need?
Sisters and Brothers, I'd like to bless you with a song about christian martyrs. Composed by good friends from "Fisheclectic" band. Those folks are closely related to the team that made the first Polish edition of "The Heavenly Man". So...
This Sunday please consider Hebrews 13,3.
Love you guys: @sinbach @bethany @MaryMamuzich @Berrybunchfamily @Olamide @elasiewniak @dragonski
Thanks @sinbach and the wonderful creators of DingDash.
Through it I've made a new friend who I text and video chat out regularly, who I wouldn't have otherwise had the chance to meet.
We're 6,000 miles away from each other, and we're scarily similar - but it's been a real blessing.
