Blast from the Past #3: The Power of Testimony

From time to time we receive encouraging reports in person, by phone call, by snail mail, or by email of something that God is doing somewhere in the earth, or a revelation that God has given to a person. It is always awesome to receive these exciting, life-changing testimonies of our Father coming right down into the circumstances, dream life, prayer time, spirit, thoughts, imaginations, meditations (often on Scripture), spiritual eyes, spiritual ears, etc. of a person and showing himself to be our all-knowing, ever-present, all-powerful, loving Lord of Hosts! These positive reports speak life into the atmosphere and turn up His light in a darkened world. They fuel our faith fires to rise high into the air like a large bonfire on a November night.

In contrast, we are all familiar with some of the effects of the opposite kind of report to these positive, life-giving reports. Sometimes referred to as the "evil report," the "negative report,"or just as a "bad report," they have the ability to usher in fear, worry, and unbelief to the unsuspecting, or those unable to discern. They can paralyze some with discouragement or depression if they are received into their spirits. They speak death into the atmosphere and always add to the darkness. They can snuff out faith fires faster than sand poured on the left-over embers at a fire pit during a November rain storm.

I would like this blog to serve as an ongoing record of positive, life-giving testimonies of the communication of Father from heaven to earth, of healing and deliverance reports, of transformed lives, and altered circumstances because His goodness. Please send your testimonies to our email, info@frontline-ministries.org, or as a comment for this blog.

While you are considering your comments, please feel free to comment or testify on Numbers 12, 13 concerning good reports and evil reports.
