A testimony is a statement of proof or evidence that something actually happened. Testimonies show the facts of the matter at hand, they reveal the truth of the whole matter as told by someone who has first hand experience of what happened and how it happened. Why do we share testimonies? 1. It is an expression of gratitude.  Testimonies show your acknowledgement of God's kindness. It shows that you value what the Lord has done. In Luke 17:11-19, Jesus healed ten leppers but only one returned with testimony. The others were ungrateful. When you hide what God has done, you are an ingrate! 2. Sharing testimonies is the number one assignment of disciples . "For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard." - Acts 4:20. The only way people will get saved from the destruction that is coming is if someone testified of the Saviour to them. We never would have been saved if the early apostles had kept quiet; your neighbours, friends, loved ones etc ma

The expectation of the enemy is that one will break down in tears and perplexity when faced by mountains. He employs the weapon of fear to weaken the bones. Brother FEAR NOT! Don't let the size of the mountain shake you. Battles are not won by size nor number, they are won by strategy and power. You have both the strategy and power on Christ Jesus. Don't succumb to the intimidating look of your mountains. Look that mountain in the eye and say to it "I cannot be intimidated!" David defeated Goliath. While the mountain before him was busy cursing and trying to intimidate him, David charged at him and removed his head. Friend it is time to charge! Enough of the insults you receive from these stones. You are a child of God. You have the power! Get your instructions right from above, cast off fear, charge at your mountains, release your slingshot and let God do the rest. Your mountains are coming down today!

The word 'but' stands as a resistance to an aforementioned proclamation. God speaks to all men that are willing to listen. When He speaks it is to bring us good news wrapped in instructions. Experience has shown that God's instructions are not palatable at first sight. Tithe for example is just 10% but many Christians today rationalize it away as irrelevant. When He told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, he would have almost gone erratic. That's how strong God's instructions can be. However, It is dangerous to say 'but' to the instructions of God. Instructions are to be obeyed not debated. Before God speaks He has seen the end, He expects you to follow to the letter what He says because He knows what's best for you. Also we must be careful not to speak negatively concerning God's leading. Don't speak of the storms speak of Him who rides upon the storm. In Numbers 13:27, the spies told Moses and the people that the land they saw was truly flow
