The Power of Testimony…
What do we know of Jesus Christ? What does an individual know about Jesus Christ? What each of us know is our own experience with Jesus Christ. Our personal relationship with our Lord and Savior that saved each person, individually. Pulled each one of us from the fire, placed our feet on solid rock and ask only that we share what happened with as many people as possible. The mystery of God is always being revealed to us, as long as we are paying attention, seeking, asking and knocking for His will in our lives. This begins in the Holy Bible, reading, breathing the Word of God.
And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. ~1 Corinthians 2:1-5 NKJB
This is the power of testimony, the full demonstration of the power of God. We can not manage our own lives, but God can. We can not lead others to God but our testimony of His power through us will bring hundreds, thousands, millions and perhaps even billions of people to the cross. This is the power of testimony.
The Holy Spirit guides us to a deeper knowledge of God, a deeper love for God and strength of faith in God with continual study, assisted by the Holy Spirit, of His Word.

But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. ~ 1 Corinthians 2:10-12 NKJB
God reveals to us what He wants known. God reveals to us what His mind already knows and what our mind needs to know.
For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16 NKJB
Either the Gospel is the divine Word of God teaching us how to live and how to be a reflection of Him, or it’s nothing more than a historical account of events.
