Testimony

Topic # 1: Testimony 

Hey everyone

 So in the meeting Sunday we talked about testimony, how it's important to testify especially in the middle of your circumstance (even if it's just to one other person) because it's not always about the victory at the end but your attitude in the middle of it.

 If times are great for you right now than that's awesome and don't forget to thank God! 

but if times are rough than maybe this will help

A Heart of PRAISE

PRAISE HIM IN YOUR SECRET PLACE

Acts 16 (Read it here) is an incredible story of the power of praise and worship. Paul and Silas are in prison for doing the work of the Lord. In the midst of their bleak circumstance, their choice to praise not only brought about their freedom, but salvation to the jailer and his family.

God does not need our praise and worship.We worship Him more for our benefit than His. Bringing praise and worship to God reminds us of His power and authority, and positions us in a place of submission and awe. It diminishes the power of sin and darkness over our lives, and brings attention to who God is and not only to what He can do.

Whatever your circumstance - praise! Praise in our 'midnight' hour magnifies God for who He is, and not just what He can do. God dwells in the praises of His people, so we can be sure that as we lift His name in worship, He is here! The style and how you express your praise and worship is not as important as the response of the heart behind it.

Read your bible even on the go, and be devoted 

Here's a link to some songs we came up with that you can listen to to remind you that you're not alone in this
