I am convinced sharing your testimony is the easiest way to fulfill the Great Commission.  I believe this primarily because of the words in Rev 12:11a, "They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony."  Who is "They" referring to?  Verse 10 tells us "our brothers and sisters."  In the broader context of chapter 12, that's you and me.  Who is the "him" referring to? Verse 7 makes it clear; it is "the Devil, or Satan."

Think on this!  John is telling us our testimonies are second only to, and in reality, are coupled with the power of the blood of the Lamb in defeating the enemy's devious wiles!

May I suggest you answer the 12 following questions and then craft them into your testimony to be placed on your church's web page, your own blog or in some other way indicated by God, so your testimony can join the growing arsenal.

1.  Where were you born?

2.  What one event do you remember the most as a child?

3.  What were the events (think about this one, notice it is in the pleural) that led you to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior?

4.  How old were you when you accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior?

5.  Do you know the exact date, and if so, why?

6.  Did you accept Jesus as BOTH your Lord and your Savior at the same time?

7.  Did you understand the implications of what you did when you accepted Jesus as Lord?  Both past and future implications?  In other words, at the time was your understanding based upon a childish viewpoint or a mature one?

8.  Did you understand the implications of what you did when you accepted Jesus as Savior?  Both past and future implications?

9.  Did it “take” the first time? (The answer to this is often “no” if the answers to 7 or 8 were also “no.”)

10.  If it didn’t take then, what caused it to finally take you captive?

11.  In what ways has being a Christian brought unexpected worth to your life?

12.  Is that worth different enough to share Christ with others?
