“He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony. He who has received His testimony has certified that God is true.For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.” (John 3:31-34)
Whoever has received His testimony has certified that God is true. You can’t just accept the signals, but you must practice God’s Word.
When I accepted the testimony of life, which the Lord Jesus gave here on earth while He was among us, I allow it to guide me. This is why I can certify that God is true, because that testimony does not only allow me to contemplate or find it interesting, but to apply it in my life.
” For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God…”
I ask you who is an assistant or a Pastor’s wife: are you sent by God, and have you spoken the Word of God? How so? Has it been a word of consciousness only, or are you transmitting life? For God does not give His Spirit by measure… He does not give more to me and less to you. No way! When there is Spirit, He can reach out to people.
When I accept the testimony, and live by it, I can truly certify that God is true. When I speak of Him, my words have to have content, strength, and valor!
Many people speak of God, even in the Universal Church, however, not everyone is of God. So how do we prove who is and who is not? Through our testimony! We can know a tree by its fruits.
Many people talk about the Word of God, but the testimony they give shows bad character, lies, betrayal, deception, theft, etc. They are not loyal, righteous or pure before God.
This type of person cannot certify that God is true! Although they use the Word, the spirit of deception that is in them – the very spirit of the antichrist – is what the people end up receiving.
And those who observe them from afar will be vaccinated against God because the testimony those people give are contrary to what they preach.
Notice that whoever accepts the testimony, also has to give good testimony, and that way they certify that God is true, because their words will have life, and not just consciousness or a “story”.
This is how you have to be, dear friend. When you speak of God, you have to transmit life!

Hi Miss Viviane, I agree with what you said we need to be in Spirit, connected to God when we speak the word of God, we need to be transparent. It shows in our action if we are true servant of God. That’s why I keep motivating my self, examining my self where I need to change. When I become a living testimony and receive God give, His Spirit to bring life to the lost. My action and my conduct and thoughts are to save souls and to bring life to the needy.

Thank you Mrs Viviane for the messages you have been posting, very edifying.
I was just thinking about what you mentioned concerning us being a good testimony. It reminded me when I used to visit my grandmother who had several guaver trees. There were about 14 of them and whenever we visited and it was the season for the fruits, we used to know which trees had the best fruits. To be honest, there were only about 5 of them and if someone who did not know would want to get fruits from the other trees, we would tell them not to go there because even though the fruits looked nice on the outside, they were not sweet.
Whenever I read that passage about ‘a tree is known by its fruits’, I remember my granma’s fruit trees. The same is with us, I need to be asking myself, what kind of testimony have I been giving.
Thanks again.
