Touched, Canned, Wrapped in Your Mantle - Testimonies of a Changed Heart

Testimonies of a changed heart occurs when we begin verbalizing what God has done in your life. The devil is AFTER your testimony. Once the testimony happens, he is right there ready to tell you not to share it to anyone. The reason he is after your testimony is because it can cause others to call upon the Name of the Lord and get saved or run to the Father for salvation in an area of their life. However we found out that we overcome him by the Word of our testimony in Revelation 12:10 - 11.



When we share our testimony, we overcome the enemy in our lives and begin walking in and out the call of God in our life. We all have a call and we all have a mantle that we need to wrap ourselves in daily, according to 2 Peter 1:10 and 1 Kings 19:13.

2 Peter 1:10

The message contained individuals being touched, canned, wrapped in their mantle and left their encounter with Jesus with the testimony of a changed heart. I encourage you to read again those that were shared on Sunday: Mark 8: 22-26 (Has he taken you by the hand and led you to a place where you never been to heal your blindness?), Luke 18:35-43 (Did you glorify God so others could see and praise Him as well?) , John 9:1-41 (Has the clay of the earth been removed from your blind spiritual eyes?), John 4:10-42 (Has your testimony changed a life then to impact others because people came to church because of it?) and Hebrews 11:5-6 (Has your testimony pleased God's like Enoch's did?).


Questions to discuss this week

  1. What fresh testimony did you receive on Sunday?

  2. What is your call?

  3. What is your mantle?

  4. How are you making your calling and election sure, aka what are you doing here?

  5. What was your aha moment(s) from this message?


Living with a changed heart and testimonies on my lips,

Rev. Ryan Welker
