To Go Along With Prayer & Share

I have been asked several times in the past if our church had people stand up and give their testimonies. I told them that the only time we have something like that is at our special Thanksgiving service but that the people are chosen beforehand to do this and it's always men.

I would like to see everyone stand up on a regular basis and get comfortable with sharing what God has done for them in their lives that day and/or that week, etc. We all need to hear what God is doing in one another's lives, especially when we are feeling particularly down. We need to remind one another with our daily life stories of how our God is alive and well and wanting to bless our lives with His greatness and power!

Let's add in testimonials on a regular basis as our sharing. There is great power and closeness that comes from sharing what God is doing, will do, and has done in each and everyone of our lives. Women have something to share as well as the men. For that matter, I would love to have the children stand up and talk about what God has done in their little lives in front of the congregation! Boy, do THEY have something to say?!!

This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!!
