TESTIMONY: A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING ABOUT CONFIRMATIONS
TESTIMONY: A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING ABOUT CONFIRMATIONS
12/24/25: Today the Lord gave me the following scripture as I was pondering why He gives us confirmations. Via the Greek I have understood that the word confirmation means to establish and make stable, solid. Those confirmations establish our faith. But what exactly does He confirm? He gave me the answer through the following scripture. This scripture is about the TESTIMONY of Jesus being confirmed IN you.
1 Corinthians 1:5-9 That in every thing you are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; 6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed [#950] in you: 7 So that you come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 8 Who shall also confirm [#950] you unto the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
According to that scripture, when we give our testimony about Jesus, that TESTIMONY is confirmed. He gives us spiritual gifts and wants us to be rich in those gifts as we wait for Jesus to come. In the process of our receiving confirmations to the testimony we have shared and sharing spiritual gifts, WE will also be confirmed all the way to the end.
The key to the above scripture is the word TESTIMONY. We are His tangible evidence of Who Jesus is. As we share Who He is and what He does in our personal lives we are His tangible evidence…. Our lives are His testimony. So He not only confirms His message in and through us, but He also confirms us. We are called to be His witnesses unto the ends of the earth. We testify, give evidence of Who He is.

Isaiah 43:10-13 You are my witnesses, says the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. 11 I, even I, am the LORD; and besides me there is no savior. 12 I have declared, and have saved, and I proclaimed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore you are my witnesses, says the LORD, that I am God. 13 Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall hinder it?
