Dear Christian Believers,
God bless you and your families in the name of Jesus Christ

  Tonight I will be teaching the Fellowlaborers about being "witnesses." Jesus Christ commissioned his disciples to be witnesses unto him shortly before he ascended into heaven in Acts 1:8. We are his disciples today for our generation or age. Therefore this command and commissioning is for us. We are suppose to be witnesses. We are to be the ones that witness to his resurrection, and tell people what that means for all mankind, and every Christian believer. In John 14:12, Jesus tells us that the believer shall do the works that he did and greater. In I Peter 2:21, we are told to follow in the steps os Jesus Christ. What did he do? If you will read the four gospels you'll find out. Besides all the good works that he did, heal the sick and diseased, cast out devils, fed the 4000 and 5000, raise the dead, Jesus made GOD and HIS kingdom known. Jesus was the greatest witness and witness-er of all time. He spoke what he knew and believed, and he was fearless, loving and compassionate, and he spoke the Word of GOD, and the truth to his generation.

John 12:47-50
⁴⁷ And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
⁴⁸ He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
⁴⁹ For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
⁵⁰ And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

  Jesus was a witness unto his father, and Jesus faithfully spoke his Fathers words. In Psalms 107:20 it says... HE sent HIS Word and healed them, and delivered them them from their destructions. People! Jesus is the Living Word. If you read about the New Covenant, Holy Communion, that is what GOD did. He sent HIS only begotten Son (the Word) and healed us, and delivered us from our destructions. Don't you think it would be a good idea to tell someone about it? Because GOD has watched over HIS Word, we still have it today. We have HIS Words to speak. We also have the recorded words and works of Jesus Christ to know and to speak. WHAT shall I say is not the problem for us, but our problem is, WILL WE SAY IT? Some may say "I've been speaking the words of GOD for years now, it's someone else's turn." If this is really true of that person, I say "praise the lord" but also ask the question, I didn't know there was a retiring age limit, and if there is where is it recorded and what is the age?

  We've been encouraged for years to tell people what GOD has done for you. Tell your story! When does it ever get old for you to tell others how GOD healed you, or delivered you from your destructions. It doesn't, if you think about it. Every time you tell someone about your GOD moments you relive it again, and it seems like yesterday. Telling your story make you feel good and the one you are telling gets excited about it too. If you're going to witness unto the Lord Jesus Christ it's a good idea to read, study and learn about some of what he did. But telling your personal story brings the word written in the Bible alive. Because when you read about GOD healing men and women in the Bible, and you've got your own present day healing or miracle to share; all of a sudden the Word of GOD becomes real for the person you're speaking to. I encourage you to tell your story. Your testimony might just be the thing that opens doors of utterance to speak the Word of GOD and words of Christ, that will bring healing and deliverance to many others. Sometimes in your witnessing to others you come under attack by those who do not believe your testimony or the Word of GOD that you share. So what! People rejected Jesus Christ. That didn't stop him. Abe Lincoln said of those that were hypercritical of his story telling way to reach people, he said he didn't care about them. When we get to the point in our lives when we don't care what men think and say, but are more concerned about what GOD thinks and says, than we have arrived at a new level of freedom that will strengthen you all the days of your life. BE a Witness! And if you've been a retired witness unto the Lord Jesus Christ, How about coming out of retirement. OK?

Love, John
