Be a faithful witness and testify in remembrance of Jesus Christ!

And when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. 1 Corinthians 11:24-25 NKJV

My second youngest son was the baby of our family. He was the only unsaved member of our family. He was the only one of our children who did not partake of communion. I began to sense God was using the Lord’s Supper to draw Him to Jesus.

One Sunday as the elements were passed out I asked if he was ready to give his heart to Jesus. He said he was. We walked outside and prayed together. He received Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior!

Years later my father was suffering from ALS. He was dying and he knew it. We invited him to our youngest son’s baptism. Tears were streaming down his face. The Lord was tenderizing his heart. A short time later he surrendered his heart and life to Jesus!

Jesus commands us to partake of communion in remembrance of Him. As often as we do it we proclaim His death until Jesus comes again.

The Lord’s Supper is a public declaration of what Jesus has done for us. It is a witness and testimony of what He will do for other people!

Do not underestimate the testimony you give when you partake of communion. It is a witness because people are watching. It is a powerful testimony because the Holy Spirit is present when we come to the Lord’s Table in faith!

Do not forsake the gathering of the brethren as some are in the habit of doing. Gather together with God’s people. Partake of His Body and blood by faith. Do it in remembrance of Jesus. Proclaim His death burial and resurrection in faith until Jesus returns for His church!

Stand up as a witness and testify to what Jesus has done for you whenever you can!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Be a faithful witness and testify in remembrance of Jesus Christ!
