3 Things To Remember When Sharing Your Testimony
The book of Revelations says the blood of the Lamb and the angels’ testimony will defeat Satan in the last days. As a writer, I am inspired and empowered knowing that Jesus’ sacrifice empowers my words to defeat hell and bondage in my reader’s lives.
I know sharing your testimony can make you feel exposed. I even wrote about that here. In this post, I want to share what I learned about the power of a testimony this week, even as my heart races.
On Tuesday, I learned that the rare brain disease I had a few years ago caused measurable permanent cognitive brain damage. I’ve known for several years that something wasn’t right, but my test scores were low. Shockingly low. I have definite limitations.
The tests validated many struggles over the last 5 years, but those scores… I can’t even tell you how broken and dumb I really am. You won’t understand.
In the past, struggling with cognitive issues without Jesus took me to a very dark place, so despite the embarrassment, on Wednesday I reached out to Christian women I knew would point me to Jesus.
3 Things To Remember When Sharing Your Testimony
I learned 3 things as they lifted me up with scriptures and their own testimonies.
- You are never alone.
- People will understand.
- God will equip you to do exactly as He’d planned and created for you to do. No matter how broken you are.
By Wednesday evening, I was in a brighter place. Still confused, not done crying yet, but brighter.
Today I share this little testimony knowing that you do understand, because Candidly Christian is a place where we are never alone, and Jesus is always enough.
As a host of the Grace & Truth Link Up, I chose my friend, Sarah Geringer’s, post containing encouragement and practical tips about sharing your testimony. I especially love that her tips make a prayer sandwich and I couldn’t wait to partner Sarah’s words with mine to empower you to share one of your own stories of God’s love in your life.
My friends, if you read her post, I hope you too will give love to loneliness, light to darkness and God’s peace to chaos.

Valerie – Our minds were on the same path. I picked Sarah’s post, too, as my featured post.
I have been short on time like everybody else, so I hadn’t had a chance to read your post this week. Today God kept pulling me over to Candidly Christian, and I am so glad He did. I am praying for you. Thank you for sharing a little bit of your story. I love the advice your wise friends gave you.
Please keep asking for prayer, and if you ever want another prayer person, please don’t hesitate to email me. Emails I don’t miss, but post I sometimes do.
Blessings to you,
