You will be My witness, says Jehovah

Enrique Meneses Muñoz : GOD is everything to me. Hallelujah, amen.
Hello, Enrique! Thanks for sharing your comment. It's wonderful to see how you recognize that God is everything to you. In relation to this, I would like to quote you a part of Charles Spurgeon's devotional that is related to the verses you mentioned. Spurgeon says, "It is for us, in our measure, to be witnesses of that which the Lord has revealed to us, and it is at our own peril that we conceal that precious revelation." (You will be My witness, says Jehovah) Just as you affirm that God is everything to you, witnessing what the Lord has done in our lives is a way to praise and glorify His name. In Psalm 22:22 we read: "I will speak of Your name to my brothers; In the midst of the congregation I will praise You." And in Acts 22:15, God tells Paul, "For you will be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard." It is a call to share with those around us the love, grace, and truth we have experienced in our relationship with God. May we be faithful witnesses of what God has done in our lives, bringing His message to all the people we can reach. Blessings!
Francisco Diaz S.: Whoever knows God or has heard about his wonders and ignores him is lost, he has no salvation.- And whoever seeks God and clings to his name is welcome in the Heavenly court.- God is my refuge and my life belongs to him.
Hello Francisco, thank you for sharing your comment. It is true, those who know God and have experienced His wonders have a great responsibility to share that knowledge with others. As you mentioned, those who ignore God and reject His salvation are lost. But those who seek God and hold fast to His name are welcome in His heavenly court. You remind me of a part of Charles Spurgeon's devotional that talks about witnessing what God has revealed to us. He says, "Our testimony is not to be to a select few who will gladly receive us; but to 'all men,' to as many as we can reach, young or old, rich or poor, good or bad." (You will be My witness, says Jehovah) It is a call to be brave and persevering in sharing the message of salvation with everyone, without making distinctions. As you mentioned, God is our refuge and our life belongs to Him. Therefore, we must be willing to proclaim His name and share His love with those who do not yet know Him. May we be faithful in our responsibility to witness the wonders of God and bring the hope of salvation to all around us. Blessings!
Aleida Lora: I GIVE G5 TO GOD EVERY DAY, BECAUSE I CAN RECEIVE THE MESSAGE OF HIS WORD ATRACEZ FROM León de Juda. I waited a long time because it didn't come to me and I felt a great emptiness. Thank you for giving me the word of God.
Hello Aleida! I am glad to know that you thank God every day and that you receive the message of His Word through "Lion of Judah". It's wonderful how God's Word can fill that void you felt and bring comfort and hope to your life. I would like to share with you a quote from Charles Spurgeon's devotional that is related to your experience: "It is up to us, in our measure, to be witnesses of that which the Lord has revealed to us, and it is at our own risk that we conceal that precious revelation." . (You will be My witness, says Jehovah) When we experience the love and truth of God's Word in our lives, we have a responsibility to share that message with others. It is a way to give thanks to God and extend His love to those who do not yet know Him. May you continue to grow in your spiritual life and may you continue to receive and share the Word of God through "Lion of Judah". God bless you abundantly! Thanks for your comment!
YELITZA NEUTA LLANOS: I have felt the presence of God, when I have felt truly down that I can no longer give anymore, that is where I turn to God and he always comforts me and hugs me. God has given me so much that I don't deserve it. Blessed are you, great and merciful Lord. The Glory is for Him.
Hello Yelitza! Thank you for sharing your beautiful testimony. It is wonderful to know that you have felt the presence of God in those moments when you have felt down and without strength. It is in those moments of vulnerability where God draws close to us, comforts us, and embraces us with His love. Your comment makes me think of a part of Charles Spurgeon's devotional that mentions: "It is to be constant and completely absorbing; we are to be this above all other things." (You will be My witness, says Jehovah) When we experience God's presence and comfort in our lives, we realize how much He has given us, even when we feel we don't deserve it. It is a reminder of His greatness, mercy and faithfulness. Continue to seek God and recognize His glory in your life. May His love and grace continue to accompany you in every step you take. God bless you greatly! Thanks for sharing your experience!
