Testimony For Tuesday, May 15, 2012
Testimony: I became a Christian shortly before I joined a large corporation. I never told anyone I was a Christian at work since I was more concerned about my career than anything else. I was scared to share Jesus with my fellow workers as I thought they would label me as a religious fanatic. I prayed to God for the baptism of the Holy Spirit and after that, God gave me boldness, not to impose my faith on others but to expose my faith. More and more opportunities arose for me to share my faith at lunch or after work with my colleagues. I wanted also to be like Daniel in the Bible, a man of excellence, to be a witness that way also.

Testimony For Friday, May 11, 2012
Testimony: A century ago, a Christian doctor was called by God to Africa to do missionary work. This doctor believed in God’s power to heal and protect him. When he arrived in Africa, a plague was killing many people. He demonstrated to the medics God’s power by putting a live sample of the plague bacteria under a microscope. He then placed the live bacteria on his arm, cursed it in the name of Jesus, then moved it back under the microscope. The medics found this same bacteria was now dead. God used this Christian to bring about a tremendous revival of supernatural miracles since he obeyed all God asked him to do.

Testimony: A farmer learned the power of his words in Jesus’ name. He had a large useless tree in his field taking up much crop space.

Decades later, this same farmer had a cancer spot on his liver. He remembered the tree on his farm and he cursed the cancer on his liver at the root and prayed for the disease to be cast out of his body. He believed the word spoken would come to pass and it did. The doctors confirmed there was no liver cancer!
