God Told Us How To Testify

Deuteronomy 6:20-23 (New King James Version)
When your son asks you in time to come, saying, 'What is the meaning of the testimonies, the statutes, and the judgments which the LORD our God has commanded you?' then you shall say to your son: 'We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand; and the LORD showed signs and wonders before our eyes, great and severe, against Egypt, Pharaoh, and all his household. Then He brought us out from there, that He might bring us in, to give us the land of which He swore to our fathers.

As the scripture above says, God has given us the "pattern" for our testimonies. A testimony is your personal story, describing what God has done in YOUR life. Your family and friends, even a twin if you have them, haven't lived YOUR life, so they can't fully comprehend God's effect. That's why we are all directed to TELL OUR STORIES.

A testimony is in three parts:

1. I WAS _____________
2. THEN GOD _________________
3. NOW I'M ________________

Tell your story using this as an example. It doesn't have to be powerful, or use flowery language. But it MUST be told by the primary storyteller of your life: YOU.
