Last night my wife was telling me a story of how God used her to encourage someone to attend church. She was excited to tell me her story and I was moved by her excitement.
This morning I sat across from a man who recently had been changed by God. He experienced a physical healing and a heart healing at the same time. I sat there listening to him retell the story. I was reminded again how big and powerful our God is.
Do you have a story to tell?
If we want to experience revival in our relationship with God, we need to start looking at the ways God is changing our lives. He is always at work, whether we know it or not. He is always whispering in our ear exactly what we need to hear when we need it. The problem is us. Sometimes we have closed our eyes and we aren't looking anymore at how God is moving in our lives. Once you see how God is working, then tell your story to someone.
There was a man born blind who experienced a healing. Jesus had given him his sight and the religious leaders wanted him to retell the story. Read about it in John 9 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+9&version=NIV)
This man tells his story to the pharisees and they refused to believe him. After asking him to tell it again the man said, "Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become his disciple too?" That wasn't exactly what they wanted to hear but isn't that the point of telling and retelling these stories so others can follow Him too?
What is God doing in your life right now? Tell your story. It will bring God the glory He deserves and it may be just the right word to impact someone's life.
