Devotionals for New Believers - Testimonies
By Ed Wrather
DAY 1
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; and they did not love their lives to the death. - Revelation 12:11.
The evangelist Kim Schmidt has a tremendous testimony. Kim tells of waking up one morning with a desire to go to church after a several day binge of drugs, alcohol, and huffing. He was frightened that he would return to a mental institution. He had imagined that a baby was being birthed in the palm of his hand. It was enough to get him to a church. He didn’t clean up and you can imagine what he looked and smelled like when he arrived at a nearby church. He didn’t know what time the services started so he arrived in time for Sunday school. Once in the class the Sunday School teacher did not condemn him. No, he just shared with Kim his own testimony of how God had saved him and taken the alcohol out of his own life.
When the worship service started Kim was sitting on a back pew and a 70 year old deacon came and asked if he could sit by him. Before the service had ended Kim had given his life to Christ. Wasn’t long before his wife had given her life to Christ as well. Why did Kim go to church that day? Maybe it was because a friend sometime before had gotten saved and shared his testimony with Kim. When it had gotten bad enough Kim remembered that God had changed his friend.
Do you have a testimony? Why not share it with someone?
