The Power of a Story
When I was recently asked to give my testimony, I wanted to be sure that the audience didn’t walked away just learning about me, but rather learning about their own God possibilities. I wanted them to sense the stirrings of their own dreams within their hearts and imagine the power of their own stories; stories that were established before they were born… ordained and written in a book. (Psalm 139)
Stories hold much power. They are more than just the giving of information; they are the sharing of realities and the presentation of possibilities. They prove that what could be, can be!
Jesus Himself was a “master storyteller.” He knew how to grab the heart of His listeners and pull them into another world proclaiming over and over, “The Kingdom of heaven is like…” Through stories, He was drawing on the imagination of those around Him and inspiring them to consider something bigger than what they knew or could see. In telling these stories, Jesus was not giving information - He was recalling His own experiences of heaven, His story, thus expanding minds to consider God possibilities as human realities!
I pray that as you listen to this podcast, you will sense the seed of your purpose stirring within you and that my story presents to you greater possibilities… and that what you have always wished could be, will be!
