Day 1- THE VALUE OF YOUR STORY

Your personal story has meaning. It is not boring. It is a combination of God’s actions that define who He has made you to be. You believe in Him and He gives you hope.
Read Luke 8:39. God healed a man in the Bible who was demon possessed. What did God tell the man to do? Do you think the people who knew the condition of the sick man would see a difference? God has healed you of your sin. Why is it valuable to share your experience with others?
Read Titus 3:3-7. How does your testimony confirm that these words are true?
Can your testimony help these verses become relatable to someone else?
Do you believe your testimony could help the truth become desirable to someone else?
Read Psalm 40:9-10. What is the psalmist glad to share in these verses?
Read 2 Corinthians 1:3-5. How can sharing how God has comforted you comfort others?
Is there value in sharing the comfort God has given you with others?
Do you believe your testimony is valuable?

Day 2- PAUL’S TESTIMONY

Today you are going to read three different passages where Paul shares his testimony.
You get the full story when you combine all three. Take notes on what you learn about what Paul was like before Christ, and how God worked to bring Paul to a relationship with Him. You can also learn how God worked in his life after He changed him through salvation.
Read Acts 22:1-21. Take notes about what you learn.
Read 1 Timothy 1:12-17. Add to your notes of what you are learning about Paul’s testimony.
Read Philippians 3:4-9. Write down what Paul valued before Christ and what He values after he began his relationship with Christ.
What do you learn from Paul’s testimony? Can you relate to Paul in any way?
Do you or did you put confidence in the flesh?
Did you at one time persecute Christians? You may not have murdered, but did you oppose them in word or thoughts? How did God change you?

Day 3- LISTEN TO A TESTIMONY

Ask someone who is mature in their faith to share how they came to know Christ. Commit as much time as needed. You don’t want to miss how God worked in every little detail.

Day 4- WRITE YOUR TESTIMONY

Today you are going to write your testimony. Take the time to write every little detail that God used to lead you to Him. Include people and situations. *Don’t stop at the point you believed in Jesus as your Savior. God hasn’t stopped working in you so keep going. How has God changed you, how has He grown your faith, and what are you learning now?
*Look at your testimony in 3 steps:
01 Life before Christ
02 Encounter with Christ (when you came to know Him)
03 Life walking with Christ

Day 5- SHARE IT

Spend time today reviewing your testimony. As you finish, leave space for more. Your testimony doesn’t end. Each experience you have before Christ leads you to knowing Him. The experiences you have after you follow Christ are just as valuable and you can use them to encourage others striving to live a life for Christ as well.

Your written testimony can encourage those who God used to bring you to Him. These people probably prayed for your salvation and trusted God to lead you to it. Send a copy of your testimony to the people who are in it. They will be so encouraged to see what God has done.
