Light Bearers, today’s testimony is so personal that it comes with a long overdue sigh of relief. Living Godly in this Pagan Society is no easy feat! Can you hear me? I’m not “too saved” to live in my truth, and never too worldly to expect God to do anything less than keep me. Being IN this world means that I must acknowledge and adhere to governmental laws that include rights like self-defense, but knowing that I am not OF this world means that I must TRUST GOD even when my flesh wants to fight back, to protect and defend my character, and to prove my good intentions! Hey, even the Good Book says, ‘an eye for an eye,’ right? Aht, Aht…see; that’s where we mess up! This is an example of me letting my flesh MISINTERPRET the Bible to justify my fleshly mess. Too many of us twist the Word to fit our misogynistic misdeeds, and I just gave my own testimony. In Evangelism, our work is not in presenting ourselves flawless as we share the
Good News; the real work is all about telling our TRUTHS about how God came in and saved us from our mess…and how He can do it for our brethren in search of a better way to live, and a better way to serve and honor God. My most often told testimony is about denouncing my “clap-back spirit.” Don’t laugh because that was no easy task. Through extensive prayer and supplication, I learned to trust God to fight the battles that I had fought alone for most of my life. It was never “fight or flight,” it was ALWAYS fight…and fight some more. Now, I only fight for my peace. Everything else I give to God. This is His battle to win. The only warring I do today is on His battlefield, for His People. I have nothing to prove to ANYONE ELSE about ANYTHING ELSE!
