Speak It, Hell Will Shake!

Finding Your Purpose Series- Session 2: God Wants to Use Your Story!

What if the most painful chapters of your life are exactly what God wants to use right now? Not after you've polished your story or tied it with a neat bow, but in its raw, authentic state.

The testimony of what Jesus has done in your life carries supernatural power. As Revelation 19:10 reveals, "the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy" – meaning when you share what God has done for you, you're prophetically declaring He can do it again for others. Your breakthrough isn't just yours; it's a roadmap for someone else's journey toward freedom.

Many of us have endured trauma, rejection, addiction, depression, or divorce – experiences we'd rather forget. Yet these painful moments often become the foundation for our greatest purpose. The enemy hoped these wounds would destroy you, but God intends to use them as launching pads for ministry, business, creativity, or whatever calling He's placed on your life. As 2 Corinthians teaches, He comforts us specifically so we can comfort others with that same divine comfort.

Your healing has a ripple effect beyond your personal redemption story. The battles you've fought might be exactly what someone else needs to find their way through similar darkness. That's why I'm challenging you to document your testimony today – the real version, not the sanitized one. Write down where God met you, how He transformed you, and what He redeemed. Even the unfinished parts of your journey matter.

Speaker 1: 0:01

Hey, what if the most painful part of your life is exactly what God wants to use, not after you have it all together, not when you're polished, but now, even in the mess? Because your testimony carries power. And if you've overcome something you didn't overcome it just for you, you might be thinking why would God use me? And if you've overcome something you didn't overcome it just for you, you might be thinking why would God use me? You know I've messed up too much in my life, but listen, your story isn't just about you. It's about what Jesus did in you. In Revelation 19.10, it says the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. That means when you share what Jesus did for you, you're literally releasing hope that he can do it again. That's why your testimony is anointed. It's powerful, not because you're perfect, but because his name is written all over it.

Speaker 1: 1:12

You may have gone through trauma, abuse, addiction, maybe a divorce, depression. But what if the very thing the enemy tried to use to destroy you is the exact place God wants to launch? Maybe that ministry that he's called you to, maybe that business or that book, whatever it is that he's called you to do? In 2 Corinthians 1, 3 through 4, it says he comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the same comfort we receive from God. What does that mean? It means that your healing, it isn't just for you. That breakthrough, that thing you overcome, wasn't random. You know that battle that you fought. It's somebody else's guide to their breakthrough, and that's why I want you to write down or record your testimony. If you haven't done this before today's the day, before today's the day, okay, I want you to ask yourself what has God brought you through? Where did he meet you? What did he redeem? Even if it's messy, even if it isn't, if it's not finished, it's yours. Remember that, it is your story and it's powerful because guess what? There is purpose in your pain. So let me ask you this question what's the one part of your story you never wanted to talk about? I want you to think about that for a minute. That's probably the very place God wants to move, because the area of your greatest pain is often the key to your greatest purpose. Maybe it was rejection, maybe there was abandonment in your life, maybe you have dealt with abuse, but you're still here and God isn't done with your story. And when you speak up and use your voice to release that, you're not just talking, you're breaking chains, you're tearing down lies. You're making hell regret the day it ever messed with you.

Speaker 1: 4:02

In the Bible, in Genesis, chapter 50, verse 20, it says what the enemy meant for evil. God turned for good. Do you believe that? In Ephesians 3.20, it says he can do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine. That means your story isn't just a story, it's a weapon, and when you release it, you're actually partnering with God, you're partnering with the kingdom of heaven and you're saying Jesus, use every moment of my life for your glory and honor, for your glory and honor.

Speaker 1: 4:49

So here's what I want you to do. I want you to take some time today, you know, maybe like 15, 20 minutes. Grab a journal, open your voice notes or pull out your phone and start speaking. Start telling your story, not the polished version, I mean the real story, the real one, because God doesn't waste a single tear, he doesn't waste time, he doesn't waste any part of your story and your breakthrough might be the reason someone else finds Jesus. Okay, so write it, share it, speak it, because your story isn't over and it's about to set someone else free.

Speaker 1: 5:41
