Much of modern Christianity is about highly produced meetings, videos, movies and music. Seems many Christians feel that they have nothing to contribute if they aren't accomplished speakers or musicians. This is a lie that the enemy would love to have us believe. While we are thankful for every expression of Jesus' testimony and life in this hour, we have to wonder how the early church reached the entire known world without any of our modern conveniences. The early believers had ONE thing that revolutionized the world... the testimony of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. It did not depend on their theological training (many were illiterate) or their charismatic persona. It was "their story of Jesus' life" that they had experienced.
So, let's make this personal... YOUR story is IMPORTANT! YOUR story of JESUS' life being revealed in YOUR person is not about theology or Christian principles, it's about YOUR real experience of HIS life. YOUR comment or testimony spoken under the anointing of the Holy Spirit can be more powerful than a million dollar presentation to a person in need. The Holy Spirit makes Jesus known through believers, even in their (our) weakness. We are HIS instruments, HIS conduit, HIS temple on the earth. Remember Paul's declaration in Ephesians 1:22,23... that "Jesus is head of the church (ecclesia) that is the fullness of the manifestation of the presence of Jesus in the earth." That is NOT my opinion... that is the testimony of the Holy Spirit as recorded in New Testament scripture. How can we walk this out?

The world is overwhelmed with bad news. There is death, destruction and despair in every newscast. Terrorist groups are bombarding the internet with hundreds of thousands of propaganda messages daily, indoctrinating, spreading influence, and recruiting new converts. We believe it’s time for the Body of Christ to use the same technologies to bombard the airwaves with personal messages of faith, hope and goodwill. Not just from professional speakers, teachers and musicians, but from real people who have experienced blessing, salvation, healing, etc., and are willing to share that experience with others.
