The five great provisions that are provided because of Jesus which revealed through the Word of God:
- we are redeemed
- we are forgiven
- we are cleansed
- we are justified (made righteous)
- we are sanctified (made holy)
these provisionsonly become fully effective in our lives when we testify to them personally. We must be bold enough to state our convictions.<><

Oh Yes! People know me and quote me. The answers I give come both from my personal experience, and the bible, with the bible as my main source.

I have sinned and was forsaken
I nearly walked away ,My Lord
I was broken when you found me
But now I'm back and I am bold!
I'm here to testify that I would not be here today if God had not intervened. He continually gives me strength and courage and hope for tomorrow.
The Lord is my redeemer, my saviour, my rock,
He is my comforter, my healer.
My God is an awesome God!!!
Hallelujah and AMEN!

Amen and praise the Lord because of what Jesus did on the cross I am forgiven and I am restored. I have so much to be thankful about God does everything in His will and timing and we need to wait and trust in Him.
Thank you for the awesome reminder that we have so much to be thankful for being followers of Christ. Praise God for His amazing grace:)

"these provisions only become fully effective in our lives when we testify to them personally."
Is this your own personal conviction, or do you have a reference to back it up?
I believe that our lives are our testimony and the boldest thing we can do is to live our best testimony and only use words when necessary (to paraphrase St. Francis of Assisi).
The widow who cast in her two mites lived her testimony to God's providence. She told no one.

Yes, this is something we all need to do, as I have many times. It is getting back to basics, we all need to get back to basics.
I am not the man I want to be ..... and I am not yet the man God wants me to be ..... but I am so thankful, that I am not the man I used to be.
Looking forward to that moment of glorification.
Lord Jesus come quickly, Amem and Amen

I go straight to God for that and if its for a necessary Testimony then I'll do it that way. Or if I need an up-lifting or advice I go to a friend.

Matthew 10:32 - Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
Luke 12:8 - Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:

I've made my convictions quite clear here several times - and they aren't the same as yours.
Can you accept that gracefully and in the true spirit of Christ's words?

I proclaim these because I have accepted Jesus as my Saviour. Jesus is my lord, and I am not ashamed to proclaim the gospel.
