Did You Know? Your Testimony is a Weapon that Unleashes the Supernatural.

Personal testimonies can serve as powerful weapons against adversity, extending God’s Kingdom on earth.

Testimonies are not meant to be like a can of Coca Cola that we drink from for a little energy pick up and then just throw away and forget about. Rather, they are precious weapons given to us by God to extend His kingdom on earth.

A few weeks ago I interviewed Sheri Downs, a BSSM (Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry) first year revival group pastor who received a miraculous healing. For 12 years she’d dealt with 80% bone on bone in her left knee, which caused constant swelling in her knee when playing sports. Recently, she heard Bill Johnson mention a testimony about lost cartilage being supernaturally replaced. Sheri had been prayed for probably hundreds of times by BSSM students and people from Bethel church, but had never seen any improvement. She had almost given up hope, but hearing about a particular testimony of healing injected faith into her heart, so she stood up one more time and believed God could do it again. Then, the moment came, as people prayed for her, she felt heat enter her knee, and she was instantly healed.

Two weeks after this event our team interviewed Sheri again. She told us her knee was still in perfect condition and that she could exercise without any pain or swelling. We asked her if she would like to see Jesus do this miracle again. “Why don’t you release it today at BSSM and see God heal more knees?” we suggested. Sheri lit up. “Ok, I’m doing it!” she told us. Minutes later, while speaking on stage, Sheri told her knee testimony and prayed for it to happen again. Instantly people were healed. One woman’s shoulder was healed and another woman’s knee was healed after having pain for two years.

While on a ministry trip some weeks later, Sheri shared the same testimony of healing along with another testimony of her sprained ankle getting healed. In that meeting, a man in a leg brace experienced complete healing in his knee and ankle, and a tumor the size of an orange also disappeared from a woman’s breast!

Revelation 12:11 says, “they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.” The context of this passage of scripture shows us that the devil has been thrown out of heaven–and is now on the earth–for us to kick off!

As sons and daughters of God, you and I are seated with Christ in Heavenly places. It is our royal privilege to bring Heaven’s reign into the earth. This passage of Revelations is a promise to us that one of the most powerful weapons we are commanded to use in the great commission is “the word of our testimony.” Remembering our testimonies and picking them up like a sword instead of forgetting them like a throw-away bottle of Coca Cola, we give our great God, who's watching and waiting, the opportunity to do it again.

I wonder what God could do through your life today if you picked up a testimony of His goodness, and in faith released it over others to happen again? You've been given authority to overcome the enemy with the power of your testimony. Use it.
