Testimonies Of Faith!


‘Testimonies Of Faith.’
Hebrews 11:35-39.
a)       Hebrews 11:35-37: Old testament Believers suffered:-
1-      Torture and they refused to be released so that they could get a better resurrection.
2-      Public shame by being taunted.
3-      Public shame by being whipped.
4-      Being put in chains and prison.
5-      Stoning to death.
6-      Being cut in two.
7-      Death by being murdered with swords.
b)       Hebrews 11:37. They went around wearing the skins of sheep and goats:-
1-      Needy.
2-      Oppressed.
3-      Mistreated.
c)       Hebrews 11:38. The World was not worthy of them, they wandered around in:-
1-      Deserts.
2-      Mountains.
3-      Caves.
4-      Holes in the ground.
d)       Hebrews 11:39. All these people didn’t receive what was promised, though they were given approval for their Faith.

‘Jesus’ Promise To His Ministering Disciples.’
Matthew 28:20.

b)       Jesus Promised to be with these Ministering Disciples every day.
c)       Even until the end of this present age.
(This Second one is very encouraging: Jesus’ Promise To His Ministering Disciples)

Many times they were in need of a host of things and they were oppressed by their enemies. They were often mistreated but continued to walk in Faith. This should encourage our Faith too.
