There Is Power in Your Testimony

There is power, healing, and deliverance in your testimony. The Word of God tells us that you will overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the words of your testimony (Revelation 12:11). There is a real devil out here who despises your testimony because he knows that chains will be broken off the next person who hears it. Therefore, he will place the spirit of shame and embarrassment upon you so that you remain tight-lipped and quiet, but need I remind you that you serve a God that goes with you and will never leave you nor forsake you so be strong and courageous (Deuteronomy 31:6). Own your truth. Share your story. Somebody somewhere needs a word and you do not realize that what may be a simple share for you is transformative and life changing for them.

I always had a desire since my early 20s to speak to this generation of young adults by sharing my own struggles. The desire hit me hard when I went on a sisters/friends trip to Atlantic City, New Jersey in December 2019, and we were all sitting in a circle sharing what we would like to happen a year from then. 

This was my journal entry written Saturday 12/21/2019:

In the hotel as we were talking, I told them that I want to start a singles ministry. I really want to start one because I believe that there are so many women out there who are struggling in their singleness but nobody wants to talk about it. My friend stated that I should pray about it and then bring it up to pastor and just allow God to lead me. Here I am thinking that I would just do it with one or two people and God just maybe wants me to do as a whole church thing where it’s announced to everyone who would like to join. That’s such a huge commitment but it’s something that, with God’s help, I would like to do it. Maybe by the end of 2020 when I read this, I can say wow, I really went forth in leading this ministry and not allowing anyone to take that calling from me or not believing in myself.

I did not know the when, where, or how but as I continued walking with God, through all of the tears, a baby was being formed in my womb. The baby was going to be bigger than what I dreamed of and envisioned for myself. On September 11th, 2020, 6 months after the COVID-19 pandemic breakout, God allowed me to give birth to SingleChronicles7 and 4 years later, through me relying on God’s strength and being bold and courageous, I shared my story of my singleness and purity walk through writing and speaking. From my website here to my podcasts on Apple and Spotify to Youtube, Pinterst, Facebook Page, Instagram, and Tiktok, I have reached well over 50,000 people through my ministry. My story blessed people all over the world within the United States and outside. I was not expecting to reach this many lives. I had no expectations. All I did was respond to the tug in my heart.

And can I tell you? I’ve been laughed at. Questioned. Looked at funny. Had people tell me that I am missing out and that they feel bad for me. You name it. I received it all. But I continued to walk. Even when it hurts. I continued. The enemy wants me to stop but I am going to keep going because I know that my story is empowering both men and women, young and old, from all walks of life.

I encourage you today to share your story. Don’t hold back. Somebody needs it. Somebody is on the verge of giving up and your story can be the one that saves them. Let your story become somebody else’s survival guide. We do not know what people go through behind close doors but God does. Your story will not be for everyone and that is okay. Saving just one soul is more than enough for the kingdom of God.
