Revelation of the Spirit - #56 My Lifesong

"A voice of one calling in the desert, 'Prepare the way for the Lord, and make staright the paths for him. Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become staright, the rough ways smooth. And all mankind will see God's salvation.' "
Luke 3: 4-6


This is what my life is about. To prepare the way for the risen Lord to return to His people. This is my lifesong.

I've been called to be a preacher of the good news. A preacher, yes. While I was thinking about this tonight is what I like most about preachers. I really love when preachers are relatively informal with their preaching. I like when they're real with you. When they put the gospel bluntly before you. But what I love most is when they give a sermon that is based on their testimony. I realized why I love this so much tonight. It's because Jesus have put the gospel in each and everyone of us by every experience in our life. Our testimony screams the love of Jesus! It shows others proof that He lives and He has power and He is love.

So when I preach I want my testimony, my lifesong to show that yeah I've had struggles, yeah I've strayed a time or too and yes I've sinned and been forgiven but through it all I prevailed through satan's trap and have followed God's will for my life. That, that day I will stand before people and say "Haha satan you can't stop me from telling what God has done for me! Your plans have failed!" My heart is filled with joy to even think about that.

So preachers out there when you're a little stumped for a sermon....search your heart. Remember what the Lord has done for you and maybe just share a little bit of your personal testimony with your congregation. I know that is when I am most blessed by a preacher of the good news.

Thanks for reading guys. Sorry if none of this makes sense but this is what the Lord is speaking to me.

Bless you!
