Do you have a past that holds you captive? Is it a past that Satan uses to bind you, to stifle your voice, and to cause you to shrink away from Godly service? Do you know why he targets you and uses your past to condemn you? It is because it is one of your mightiest weapons! Do you know that Revelation 12:11 declares that the accuser of the brethren is overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony? It is your past that is the genesis of your testimony. It is your past that was the circumstance from which you emerged, victorious in God, as an overcomer by the blood of the lamb! Do you realize that it is your testimony that allows others to see the handiwork of God?

Your story is one of God’s grace and mercy, of His healing and restoration, of His unconditional love. You are a living, breathing, walking testimony!
