WAKE UP! GET UP! RISE UP BECAUSE GOD IS ABOUT TO STRIKE!
The Amplified version of Romans 15:4 reads; For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope and overflow with confidence in His promises. We can’t have confidence in someone who we don’t know anything about or someone you’ve never heard of. Why have confidence and belief in someone who doesn’t keep their promises? And so it is with the testimonies that are heard through answered prayers. When we testify of the God we serve concerning the prayers we’ve prayed, the prayers that He has answered, it gives hope to others and causes them to say, I want to serve the God she serves, I want to serve the God he serves because of what their God has done for them. It causes others to not only believe but to turn to Him and receive Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior. As the prophet Elijah said, the God who answers by fire, that’s who is the real God. Our God answers our prayers, He answers through actions to give us testimonies that will give Him His glory. The testimonies of the past are to give hope not only to those who prayed but also to those who need the hope and encouragement to pray. The prayers that were answered in the past are to build our hope and our faith for today and encourage us even more in our prayers for tomorrow.
