The Spirit of Prophecy

One of my favorite verses is Revelation 19:10, "The testimony of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of Prophecy." I mention this verse often because it's the foundation of my ministry. I have overcome because I've taken hold of others' testimonies of Jesus Christ at work in their lives and believed Him to do the same and more in my own life and He has come through time and time again.

I reference this verse at least twice in Revelation is for Elevation and someone reading it mentioned they always wondered about the SPIRT of prophecy and what exactly that meant. This is what it means:

• Jesus is the Word made flesh
• The Word is Spirit and Life.
• This verse tells us that if we testify of something Jesus has done in our lives anyone else can take that testimony and make it their prophecy (future prediction) of what Jesus will do for them.
• Testimonies are alive just as Jesus, the Word made flesh, is alive.
• Testimonies are power because Jesus is power.
• God's Word - again Jesus is the Word made flesh - has creative power. 
• Any true testimony of Jesus saving you, providing for you, healing, etc. is God's Word.
• This is why we can have anything documented in the logos or anything that someone testifies as our own.

I love to testify and hear testimonies of what Jesus at work doing in the lives of His family on the earth. You should, too. Not only should you love testimonies but you should be testifying daily. Throughout the written Word (especially in the Psalms) we read they're telling of God's goodness, His faithfulness, His power to deliver, etc., etc., etc. That's testifying! 

We overcome by dam Yeshua and the WORD of our testimony. Why? Because our testimony is Jesus alive and working miracles and because Jesus is our salvation. If you haven't testified to day, go do that. I know you all have FB and Twitter accounts, so go tell if nothing else that Jesus woke you up, gave you Internet access, eyes that see and a mind that can read. Once you start testifying, the edification in your spirit and soul and the presence of God will be so strong, you won't stop. I'm a witness.
