In the End…

May Jesus be praised!

In one of his letters to his disciple Timothy, Paul wrote to encourage Timothy to not let go of a spiritual gift he’d received during a previous visit and gave the following reason: “For God has not given us a Spirit of fear, but one of power, of love and of a sound mind” (2 Tim. 1:7).  Why he wrote this has become crystal clear to me this summer.

I have learned more these past four months than I have ever before learned in the same time period; to say nothing of what I’ve experienced.  I have witnessed the power of God; with my own eyes I’ve seen miracles; I’ve heard prophets prophesy; I’ve seen manifestations of the Holy Spirit in phenomenal ways; and the effect in me is a risen and rising confidence in God. May Jesus be glorified!

As I re-read this it sounds crazy; it sounds like foolishness.  Part of me would scoff at myself, but the part of me that is good knows it’s true; and I would be called a fool and liar by the whole world rather than deny my God. This is my testimony!

cheers,
