We live in a world where silence is often mistaken for strength—but in the Kingdom, your story is your weapon. What you’ve survived wasn’t meant to stay hidden. It was meant to be shared, spoken, and surrendered so others could know: He still delivers. He still heals. He still saves.

There is power in what you’ve survived. You didn’t just “go through it.” You walked out with fire in your bones and oil on your life. Don’t Waste Your Survival God never allows pain without purpose. If He brought you through, there’s something in that trial meant to be released. Maybe it’s for a woman who’s still crying in the bathroom at midnight. Or a man drowning in silent shame. Or a teenager ready to give up. Your healing is someone else’s hope. Your "I made it out" will become their "I can too."

Whether it was:

  • A broken marriage
  • Betrayal by family
  • A secret addiction
  • Depression or abuse
  • Financial ruin
  • A suicidal moment,

  There’s someone on the other side of your “Yes, I’ll share.” You don’t have to tell every detail—but you do need to tell of God’s power to deliver. Shame Breaks When You Speak!  The enemy thrives in secrecy. He’ll make you feel like: “No one will understand…” “You should be over that by now…” “If you tell the truth, they’ll disqualify you.”

But the truth is this:  What the enemy hoped would disqualify you is exactly what God will use to authorize you. Testimony isn’t about perfection—it’s about redemption. You’re not telling people how good you were. You’re telling them how faithful God was. Your Story Unlocks Someone Else’s Freedom!

Think of the woman with the issue of blood. The leper. The blind man. The demon-possessed man Jesus freed in the graveyard. Every one of them became an evangelist by experience. They didn’t have theological training. They had a testimony. And their testimony multiplied the Kingdom. So will yours.

Repeat this Prayer: God, I thank You that my story is not over. I surrender my survival to You. Use it to heal someone else. Break shame off of my voice. Help me to speak what You’ve done with boldness and compassion. I will no longer hide what You healed. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Final Word!! Don’t just remember what God did—release it. There’s a next-generation deliverer waiting to hear your story. So today, we testify. We say: “BUT GOD.” He brought me out. He restored me. He saved my mind. He rescued my family. And He’ll do it again.
