iWitness

Acts 1:8
⁸ But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”]

There's more to just going to church and shouting. If you have been witnessing don't give up especially if you have been witnessing to your family. The Holy Ghost is for you to be a witness. We have to start at home. In this verse Jerusalem = home. Samaria = outside of your community.

Matt 24:14
¹⁴ And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

This is not for fame or popularity. We are in a war and this is not a game. Jesus is coming back and is coming for a church that is with out spot or wrinkle (Eph 5:27). Whatever issues you have iron them out. A witness is somebody who has evidence. We all have testimonies and used to be an ex-something. Remember that there were people who prayed for you. You are at church because someone witnessed to you. You may not have been to school, know Greek & Hebrew buy you are not doing the things you used to do.

Rev 12:11
¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

You can get delivered by telling someone what God has done for you. If God did it in the past what makes you think he won't do it again? You will win this battle with praise and by your testimony,. You may not be everything you want to be but you are not what you used to be.


Psalm 105:1-2
¹ Oh, give thanks to the LORD!
         Call upon His name;
         Make known His deeds among the peoples!
 ² Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him;
         Talk of all His wondrous works!


Start talking about how God cleaned you up. It's the blood that's covering you.

Psalm 68:11
 ¹¹ The Lord gave the word;
         Great was the company of those who proclaimed it:


The Word comes from God. The company publishes it. He needs all of us to talk. Every time God blesses you tell someone. The Lord has a blessing with your name on it. God wants to take you to the next level financially. If God have you the house, car, etc, he will pay for it.

Luke 5:17-26

¹⁷ Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them.¹⁸ Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him. ¹⁹ And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus.
²⁰ When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”
²¹ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
²² But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, He answered and said to them, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts? ²³ Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise up and walk’? ²⁴ But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the man who was paralyzed, “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”
²⁵ Immediately he rose up before them, took up what he had been lying on, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. ²⁶ And they were all amazed, and they glorified God and were filled with fear, saying, “We have seen strange things today!”





If you are going to be an effective witness you have to be concerned and caring. The paralyzed man had friends help him to get to his miracle. They saw that there many around Jesus and had to be calculating and creative. People have problems today. They came up with a crazy idea to get him to Jesus. How were they going to get on the roof? How are you going to get people to Jesus? There were steps on the side of the house those days. It took 4 people to get him to Jesus. All of us are important to get people to Jesus. The roof was made of sticks and clay. It won't be easy to witness but you have to dig deep to get to Jesus.

Why did Jesus ask the man to pick up his bed and walk? The very same thing that was holding the man, the man was not able to hold it. Jesus had to clean him in the inside first. God forgave him. The inside needs to be dealt with before the outside.
