Power in Testimony

 Joel 1-3; 2 Timothy 1 

“For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but of power, of love and of self-discipline. So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God...”

2 Timothy 1:7, 8

We overcome the lies of the deceiver in our generation through the word of our testimony about the power of our Lord to transform lives, including our own. We daily yield to the Holy Spirit and ask the Lord to fill us because we desperately need the Spirit’s power, love, and strength to resist temptation. Paul called Timothy to another level of witness for the gospel which is suffering for the gospel. 

In an age of pluralism will we boldly point people to Jesus and his exclusive salvation and truth claims?

Will we willingly endure social rejection for our witness of Christ?

The power of the Holy Spirit is available today to love, speak, and resist sin - less of us and more of him.

“Lord Jesus, I yield to you and your Spirit and I invite you to fill me with love, power, and boldness, for your glory.”
