Infected with Joy

I hate germs and infections.

When I was a small child, I contracted a condition called shigellosis. Think Montezuma's revenge. Think very sick. I was in the hospital for a week, and ran such high fever. This was 40 years ago now, so the treatment options weren't what they are today. I was infected by a bad germ.

Did I tell you that I hate germs and infections? Ok, we have that straight.

There is one kind of infection I long for. It is the best kind. Those in Destiny on Wednesday night were infected by it. We were all infected with a highly contagious strain of testimony-itis. This is a condition that is acute and results from coming into contact with a person who has got a testimony they have to share with others.

Can I just tell you what a great blessing it was to be infected Wednesday night? A precious young lady gave her testimony of the power of Christ to deliver her from the most difficult types of addictions. The glow of God was all over her face, and it really infected the the people in the room with a sense that God was at work. I noticed her before she ever gave her "impromptu" testimony because her smile revealed her "infected with joy" condition.

What a cool thing when God works in a life, doing a great work, and then that person touches others and infects them. I am glad she spread the "germs" of her delivery from addiction around the room. It may have even made some people run some spiritual fever. (It's OK, you don't have to take ibuprofen for that!)

Are you a carrier of testimony-itis? I hope so. I pray God gives you testimonies during 40 Days of Victory of his work in your life in which all who hear can join in and praise God for all he has done. Remember that we have this blog to share testimonies. You can email the pastor and/or staff. You can put your testimony on the rotating boards located in the grand hallway (outside of worship center) on Sunday.

One warning. The enemy has an anti-bacterial agent he wants to use. He wants to kill the germs you might spread with your testimony. Please, don't wash your heart of the word God wants you to speak because of his anti-joy activities. Don't let his whispers convince you not to share the infecting power of your testimony. Infect someone with joy by sharing how God is giving you victory in your life. God's people need to hear it!

Remember victory is the supernatural joy of defeating what would defeat you.

Spread the germs of testimony. Infect God's people.with joy.

Let's pray joy spreads like wildfire. Spiritual awakening could be the result.

In Christ,
