In today’s Trent TV exclusive, Trent Ling tries to enthuse everyone over the opportunities afforded in being put on the spot. Rare in human history, the genuine chance to explain ourselves seems charitable at a minimum. Who could or would pass it up?
“If we cannot and/or will not give an account of ourselves on Earth, how in the world are we going to answer to God?” Trent wonders. “I cannot express the disappointment in seeing the majority cower and quake when the spotlight turns personal. God did not make, and Jesus did not call people to be that way. May we all humbly converse and may the chips fall. May God be glorified that there are some who have repented of cowardice. Such people can, will, and do gladly account for themselves. Hallelujah!”

I was given a chance to testify on my behalf of my physical disabilities, and my thoughts the day of my court hearing was “Lord if I am scared of a mere man, the ADL judge how on Earth will I be able to account to Jesus on Judgement Day? ” Then the verse immediately came to mind, The truth will set you free, I went into court told the truth to my knowledge , I was totally set free…. I left the court room with a peace in my heart and mind that as I accounted for my life , my disabilities, my weaknesses, I told the truth and nothing but the truth. Even though this judge is not Jesus Christ, this was a good oppurtunity for me to live out scriptures as in my daily life. This day won’t even compare to the day of the Judgement seat of Christ, was still a great oppurtunity for me , I was given God’s favor in the judges decision. Thank you Lord.
It is cowardly to shrink back and cower. It is releasing to bring things to the light. You are not weighed down by darkness or guilt. I know the difference between two having shied away from being open my first time around and being more open this around. Sadly people don’t want to see themselves for who they really are. That is why they go to either feel good, churches that water down the scriptures or fire and brimstone churches so they feel chastised just for that one hour they are there but go on in their sinnning lives once they leave.
Going back to school gives me more opportunity to testify than I’ve had in a long time. In my summer class my goal was to be a voice of reason. This is an even better goal!
Amen, no more shrinking back! Love a Chance to Testify, thanks for this title… It is not easy to speak the truth to those who hates it, it doesn’t matter how I say it… often time it resulted in being insulted. It becomes discouraging after awhile, like you (Trent) often say “I’m whistling in the wind!” I must love to testify, say it the way it is even when in my nature I’d rather not rock the boat, but I am here, being rescued from my sinful life, so I can help others to love the truth.
I agree Melvin! I did get several flash backs of 2001-2005 where I shrunk back and hated at times being addressed. There were so many worldly things weighing me down and I was afraid of what else people would put on me or so was the accusation against bringing in any light. God has had so much patience with me! And to think once the light was shed on the things that were weighing me down real help was offered which rescued my two little girls from a very horrible life devoid of enrichment. God is amazing.
You are right! Why should I hold or shrink back? Why should I cater to the squeamish or the cowardly? I want to use this “dress rehearsal” wisely and honor God with what I have been called to say. I want to uncover what people don’t dare to bring to the light. I want to liberate people with the Truth, no matter the consequences. I sincerely prefer to receive the backlash from people than receive it from God.
