In fact, your story is one of your greatest ministry tools. I meet people who feel they have nothing to offer the Lord. In their minds, they feel incapable of serving in some ministry. Yet, every one of us has a story. It’s a God story. It’s a story of how we met Jesus, the circumstances of your salvation, and how Jesus has changed your life.


Main Points:

1. If you have never sat down and written out your spiritual testimony in chronological order when you do, you’ll be amazed at how God has been working in your life.  No testimony is boring.  Your story is unique and fascinating, and whenever you tell it, it will be relevant, and potentially life-changing for the listener.


2. Your story is simply an account of how God has changed your life.  If Jesus is your Lord and Savior, then surely He has done miraculous things for you.  People are looking for evidence that God exists and that He is personally involved in people’s lives.  You can’t make God appear on the spot to prove His existence, but you can certainly point straight to Him by talking about how He has worked in your life.


3. It’s true the Holy Spirit moves us and leads us in our conversations about Christ.  But it’s our responsibility to use what the Lord gives us in the best possible way.  We prepare for important meetings – we need to prepare to give an account of our faith as well.
