Testimony: One Christian said you must do an outstanding job for your employer for they pay you to do your job not to evangelize. If you evangelize on company time then you are stealing from your employer. However as you let your light shine, there will be opportunities to share Jesus after work or at lunch time.

Testimony: An atheist saw a model of the sun and the planets on the professor’s desk and said to the professor: “That is an amazing replica of our solar system. Who made it?” The professor said “No one.” The atheist said “Come on, that model is so good, I want to know who made it?” The professor said “You believe that someone made this tiny model but you cannot believe God made our solar system in which we live.” This example can help all of us remember that God is the creator of all life. Some people get into confusion about how old the earth is but the bottom line is, that does not matter. God made it.

Testimony: At Bible College, we learned not to judge the teachers by their preaching style (loud or soft) or by their clothes (dreary or fancy) or by their mannerisms (flamboyant or non-emotional) but to judge the words that they say. So often people are prejudiced against others to the point that they switch them off before they hear what they have to say. Most Christians feel their church is the best since it is what they are accustomed to.

Testimony: An engineer and his wife who are also evangelists, shared that God gives them names and facts about people they have never met when they pray. One time while they were at a gas station, God told them some facts about another customer that was filling his tank at that gas station. They walked up to the man and said: “Are you so and so?” “Yes” answered the man obviously puzzled. They went on to tell him some facts about his life. The man saw that God must be talking to him through this couple so he responded to God and asked Jesus into his life as the couple prayed with him to dedicate his life to God.

Testimony: A youth group gave our leader an offering of $500 cash in a sealed envelope but never told him how much it was. When building a church in Mexico, our leader was short of some materials so he went to the big city to buy them. The seller said the materials would cost about $500. Our leader had forgotten his wallet but did have the youth offering. He took out the sealed envelope and said: “This should cover it!” not knowing how much was inside. The vendor counted the money and it just covered the cost. He taught us not to waiver in faith or it could cost you. His common expression was “If you doubt, you will do without!”

Prayer: Heavenly Father, Many Christians don’t receive answers to their prayers. Is it because they doubt and you say here that a doubter will not receive anything from you?

Testimony: One church leader constantly gives God glory during his services. In one service, I watched a seven year old mentally challenged boy get healed and start talking normally. His parents said their son had never spoken a word in his life. Then this church leader gave the microphone to this boy and asked him to sing the song “Jesus loves me.” The boy sang the song perfectly.

Testimony: I was falsely accused a few years back by a man and it hurt me because it was a blow to my integrity. Immediately after it happened, I heard God’s voice in my heart say: “Pray for those who persecute you.” At first it was hard to do, but I was obedient to the Word of God and prayed for that man. I now have compassion for him as I have seen some of the struggles he has gone through. The secret about forgiveness is to forgive and forget.

Testimony: Many people argue that there is no such thing as hell. These people have not studied the Bible or else they would not take that position. A Bible teacher shared that hell was created for the devil which is explained in Matthew 25:41. God does not force a person to go to hell. He wants everyone to be with Him in heaven. God is good and everything bad is from the devil. The devil gets people to rebel against God. It is the rejection of Jesus that causes separation from God, so it is the responsibility of each individual person to choose their eternal destiny to be with Jesus in heaven or be in torments with the devil in hell.

Testimony: When I first read this scripture my thought was that sheep were smart enough to follow the shepherd’s voice, but Christians, including myself, don’t even know what the Great Shepherd’s voice sounds like.
