I am no preacher, but, am a prime sinner and living in this world in HIS mercy. For a sinner like me too, when I read “The Holy Bible” KJV,  the following verses were given in the context of “witness” from the New Testament.

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power,
after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:
and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem,
and in all Judaea, and in Samaria,
and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Acts 1:22 Beginning from the baptism of John,
unto that same day that he was taken up from us,
must one be ordained to be a witness
with us of his resurrection.

Acts 2:32 This Jesus hath God raised up,
whereof we all are witnesses.

Acts 3:15 And killed the Prince of life,
whom God hath raised from the dead;
whereof we are witnesses.

Acts 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles
witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus:
and great grace was upon them all.

Acts 5:32 And we are his witnesses of these things;
and so is also the Holy Ghost,
whom God hath given to them that obey him.

Acts 6:13 And set up false witnesses, which said,
This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words
against this holy place, and the law:

Acts 7:44 Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness,
as he had appointed,
speaking unto Moses,
that he should make it according
to the fashion that he had seen.

Acts 7:58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him:
and the witnesses laid down their clothes
at a young man’s feet,
whose name was Saul.

Acts 10:39 And we are witnesses of all things
which he did both in the land of the Jews,
and in Jerusalem;
whom they slew and hanged on a tree:

Acts 10:41 Not to all the people,
but unto witnesses chosen before of God,
even to us, who did eat and drink with him
after he rose from the dead.

Acts 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness,
that through his name whosoever believeth in him
shall receive remission of sins.

Acts 13:31 And he was seen many days of them
which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem,
who are his witnesses unto the people.

Acts 14:17 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness,
in that he did good,
and gave us rain from heaven,
and fruitful seasons,
filling our hearts with food and gladness.

Acts 15:8 And God, which knoweth the hearts,
bare them witness,
giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;

Acts 20:23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city,
saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

Acts 22:5 As also the high priest doth bear me witness,
and all the estate of the elders:
from whom also I received letters unto the brethren,
and went to Damascus,
to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem,
for to be punished.

Acts 22:15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men
of what thou hast seen and heard.

Acts 23:11 And the night following the Lord stood by him,
and said, Be of good cheer, Paul:
for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem,
so must thou bear witness also at Rome.

Acts 26:16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet:
for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose,
to make thee a minister
and a witness both of these things
which thou hast seen,
and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;

Acts 26:22 Having therefore obtained help of God,
I continue unto this day,
witnessing both to small and great,
saying none other things than those
which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

Romans 1:9 For God is my witness,
whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son,
that without ceasing
I make mention of you always in my prayers;
10. Making request,
if by any means now at length
I might have a prosperous journey
by the will of God to come unto you.

Romans 2:13 (For not the hearers of the law
are just before God,
but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14. For when the Gentiles,
which have not the law,
do by nature the things contained in the law,
these, having not the law,
are a law unto themselves:

Romans 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts,
their conscience also bearing witness,
and their thoughts the mean while
accusing or else excusing one another;)

Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God
without the law is manifested,
being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

22. Even the righteousness of God
which is by faith of Jesus Christ
unto all and upon all them that believe:
for there is no difference:
23. For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God;
24. Being justified freely by his grace
through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25. Whom God hath set forth
to be a propitiation through faith in his blood,
to declare his righteousness
for the remission of sins that are past,
through the forbearance of God;
26. To declare,  I say,
at this time his righteousness:
that he might be just,
and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit,
that we are the children of God:

Romans 9:1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not,
my conscience also bearing me witness
in the Holy Ghost,

Romans 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery,
Thou shalt not kill,
Thou shalt not steal,
Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Thou shalt not covet;
and if there be any other commandment,
it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

1 Corinthians 15:15 Yea, and we are found
false witnesses of God;
because we have testified of God
that he raised up Christ:
whom he raised not up,
if so be that the dead rise not.

2 Corinthians 13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you.
In the mouth of two or three witnesses
shall every word be established.

1 Thessalonians 2:5 For neither at any time
used we flattering words,
as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness;
God is witness:

1 Thessalonians 2:10 Ye are witnesses, and God also,
how holily
and justly
and unblameably
we behaved ourselves among you that believe:

11. As ye know how we exhorted
and comforted
and charged every one of you,
as a father doth his children,

1 Timothy 5:19 Against an elder
receive not an accusation,
but before two or three witnesses.

20. Them that sin rebuke before all,
that others also may fear.

1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith,
lay hold on eternal life,
whereunto thou art also called,
and hast professed a good profession
before many witnesses.

1 Timothy 6:13 I give thee charge in the sight of God,
who quickeneth all things,
and before Christ Jesus,
who before Pontius Pilate
witnessed a good confession;

14. That thou keep this commandment
without spot,
unrebukeable,
until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15. Which in his times he shall shew,
who is the blessed and only Potentate,
the King of kings,
and Lord of lords;
16. Who only hath immortality,
dwelling in the light
which no man can approach unto;
whom no man hath seen,
nor can see:
to whom  be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me
among many witnesses,
the same commit thou to faithful men,
who shall be able to teach others also.

Titus 1:12 One of themselves,
even a prophet of their own, said,
The Cretians are alway liars,
evil beasts,
slow bellies.

Titus 1:13 This witness is true.
Wherefore rebuke them sharply,
that they may be sound in the faith;

14. Not giving heed to Jewish fables,
and commandments of men,
that turn from the truth.

Hebrews 2:4 God also bearing them witness,
both with signs and wonders,
and with divers miracles,
and gifts of the Holy Ghost,
according to his own will?

Hebrews 7:8 And here men that die receive tithes;
but there he receiveth them,
of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

Hebrews 10:15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us:
for after that he had said before,

16. This is the covenant
that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord,
I will put my laws into their hearts,
and in their minds will I write them;
17. And their sins and iniquities
will I remember no more.

Hebrews 10:28 He that despised Moses’ law
died without mercy
under two or three witnesses:

Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God
a more excellent sacrifice than Cain,
by which he obtained witness that he was righteous,
God testifying of his gifts:
and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about
with so great a cloud of witnesses,
let us lay aside every weight,
and the sin which doth so easily beset us,
and let us run with patience
the race that is set before us,

James 5:3 Your gold and silver is cankered;
and the rust of them shall be a witness against you,
and shall eat your flesh as it were fire.
Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

1 Peter 5:1 The elders which are among you I exhort,
who am also an elder,
and a witness of the sufferings of Christ,
and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

1 John 1:2 (For the life was manifested,
and we have seen it,
and bear witness,
and shew unto you that eternal life,
which was with the Father,
and was manifested unto us;)

1 John 5:6 This is he that came by water and blood,
even Jesus Christ;
not by water only,
but by water and blood.
And it is the Spirit that beareth witness,
because the Spirit is truth.

1 John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth,
the Spirit,
and the water,
and the blood:
and these three agree in one.

1 John 5:9 If we receive the witness of men,
the witness of God is greater:
for this is the witness of God
which he hath testified of his Son.

1 John 5:10 He that believeth on the Son of God
hath the witness in himself:
he that believeth not God hath made him a liar;
because he believeth not the record
that God gave of his Son.

3 John 1:6 Which have borne witness of thy charity
before the church:
whom if thou bring forward
on their journey after a godly sort,
thou shalt do well:

Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ,
who is the faithful witness,
and the first begotten of the dead,
and the prince of the kings of the earth.
Unto him that loved us,
and washed us
from our sins in his own blood,

Revelation 3:14 And unto the angel of the church
of the Laodiceans write;
These things saith the Amen,
the faithful and true witness,
the beginning of the creation of God;

Revelation 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses,
and they shall prophesy
a thousand two hundred and threescore days,
clothed in sackcloth.

Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones,
and they sat upon them,
and judgment was given unto them:
and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded
for the witness of Jesus,
and for the word of God,
and which had not worshipped the beast,
neither his image,
neither had received his mark upon their foreheads,
or in their hands;
and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

I am no preacher, but, am a prime sinner and living in this world in HIS mercy. For a sinner like me too, when I read “The Holy Bible” KJV,  the following verses were given in the context of “witness” from the New Testament.

Matthew 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts,
murders,
adulteries,
fornications,
thefts,
false witness,
blasphemies:

Matthew 18:16 But if he will not hear thee,
then take with thee one or two more,
that in the mouth of two or three witnesses
every word may be established.

Thou shalt do no murder,
Thou shalt not commit adultery,

Thou shalt not bear false witness,

though many false witnesses came,
yet found they none.
At the last came two false witnesses,

Matthew 26:62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him,
Answerest thou nothing?
what is it which these witness against thee?

Matthew 26:65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying,
He hath spoken blasphemy;
what further need have we of witnesses?
behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

Matthew 27:13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not
how many things they witness against thee?

Do not kill,
Do not steal,
Do not bear false witness,
Defraud not,
Honour thy father and mother.

Mark 14:55 And the chief priests and all the council
sought for witness against Jesus
to put him to death;
and found none.

Mark 14:56 For many bare false witness against him,
but their witness agreed not together.

Mark 14:57 And there arose certain,
and bare false witness against him, saying,

58. We heard him say,
I will destroy this temple
that is made with hands,
and within three days
I will build another made without hands.

Mark 14:59 But neither so did
their witness agree together.

Mark 14:60 And the high priest stood up in the midst,
and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing?
what is it which these witness against thee?

Mark 14:63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith,
What need we any further witnesses?

Mark 15:4 And Pilate asked him again, saying,
Answerest thou nothing?

for they indeed killed them,
and ye build their sepulchres.

Luke 18:20 Thou knowest the commandments,
Do not commit adultery,
Do not kill,
Do not steal,
Do not bear false witness,
Honour thy father and thy mother.

Luke 22:71 And they said, What need we any further witness?
for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.

Luke 24:48 And ye are witnesses of these things.

John 1:7 The same came for a witness,
to bear witness of the Light,
that all men through him might believe.

John 1:8 He was not that Light,

Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan,
to whom thou barest witness, behold,
the same baptizeth,
and all men come to him.

that I said, I am not the Christ,
but that I am sent before him.

John 5:31 If I bear witness of myself,
my witness is not true.

John 5:32 There is another that beareth witness of me;
and I know that the witness
which he witnesseth of me is true.

John 5:33 Ye sent unto John,
and he bare witness unto the truth.

John 5:36 But I have greater witness than that of John:
for the works which the Father hath given me to finish,
the same works that I do,
bear witness of me,
that the Father hath sent me.

John 5:37 And the Father himself,
which hath sent me,
hath borne witness of me.
Ye have neither heard his voice at any time,
nor seen his shape.

and the Father that sent me
beareth witness of me.

John 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you,
and ye believed not:
the works that I do in my Father’s name,
they bear witness of me.

John 15:27 And ye also shall bear witness,
because ye have been with me from the beginning.

John 18:23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil,
bear witness of the evil:
but if well, why smitest thou me?

John 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him,
Art thou a king then? Jesus answered,
Thou sayest that I am a king.
To this end was I born,
and for this cause came I into the world,
that I should bear witness unto the truth.
Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

Young Prophet’s Prayer

May 26, 2012 Leave a comment


“And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity:
I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations
that are in the midst of thee;
and ye shall know that I  am the LORD that smiteth.”              – Eze-7:9

I received the following content “Yong Prophet’s Prayer” through mail – A.W.Tozer’s Ordination Prayer -Mar 21, 2005. I liked the understanding of the prophet and hope you will like.

This is the prayer of a man called to be a witness to the nations. This is what he said to his Lord on the day of his ordination. After the elders and ministers had prayed and laid their hands on him he withdrew to meet his Savior in the secret place and in the silence, farther in than his well-meaning brethren could take him.

And he said: O Lord, I have heard Thy voice and was afraid. Thou has called me to an awesome task in a grave and perilous hour. Thou art about to shake all nations and the earth and also heaven, that the things that cannot be shaken may remain.
O Lord, my Lord, Thou has stooped to honor me to be Thy servant. No man taketh this honor upon himself save he that is called of God as was Aaron. Thou has ordained me Thy messenger to them that are stubborn of heart and hard of hearing. They have rejected Thee, the Master, and it is not to be expected that they will receive me, the servant.

My God, I shall not waste time deploring my weakness nor my unfittedness for the work. The responsibility is not mine, but Thine. Thou has said, “I knew thee – I ordained thee – I sanctified thee,” and Thou hast also said, “Thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.” Who am I to argue with Thee or to call into question Thy sovereign choice? The decision is not mine but Thine. So be it, Lord. Thy will, not mine, be done.

Well do I know, Thou God of the prophets and the apostles, that as long as I honor Thee Thou will honor me. Help me therefore to take this solemn vow to honor Thee in all my future life and labors, whether by gain or by loss, by life or by death, and then to keep that vow unbroken while I live.

It is time, O God, for Thee to work, for the enemy has entered into Thy pastures and the sheep are torn and scattered. And false shepherds abound who deny the danger and laugh at the perils which surround Thy flock. The sheep are deceived by these hirelings and follow them with touching loyalty while the wolf closes in to kill and destroy. I beseech Thee, give me sharp eyes to detect the presence of the enemy; give me understanding to see and courage to report what I see faithfully. Make my voice so like Thine own that even the sick sheep will recognize it and follow Thee.

Lord Jesus, I come to Thee for spiritual preparation. Lay Thy hand upon me. Anoint me with the oil of the New Testament prophet. Forbid that I should be come a religious scribe and thus lose my prophetic calling. Save me from the curse that lies dark across the modern clergy, the curse of compromise, of imitation, of professionalism. Save me from the error of judging a church by its size, its popularity or the amount of its yearly offering. Help me to remember that I am a prophet – not a promoter, not a religious manager, but a prophet. Let me never become a slave to crowds. Heal my soul of carnal ambitions and deliver me from the itch for publicity. Save me from bondage to things. Let me not waste my days puttering around the house. Lay Thy terror upon me, O God, and drive me to the place of prayer where I may wrestle with principalities and powers and the rulers of the darkness of this world. Deliver me from overeating and late sleeping. Teach me self-discipline that I may be a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

I accept hard work and small rewards in this life. I ask for no easy place. I shall try to be blind to the little ways that could make life easier. If others seek the smoother path I shall try to take the hard way without judging them too harshly. I shall expect opposition and try to take it quietly when it comes. Or if, as sometimes it falleth out to Thy servants, I should have grateful gifts pressed upon me by Thy kindly people, stand by me then and save me from the blight that often follows. Teach me to use whatever I receive in such manner that will not injure my soul nor diminish my spiritual power. And if in Thy permissive providence honor should come to me from Thy church, let me not forget in that hour that I am unworthy of the least of Thy mercies, and that if men knew me as intimately as I know myself they would withhold their honors or bestow them upon others more worthy to receive them.

And now, O Lord of heaven and earth, I consecrate my remaining days to Thee; let them be many or few, as Thou wilt. Let me stand before the great or minister to the poor and lowly; that choice is not mine, and I would not influence it if I could. I am Thy servant to do Thy will, and that will is sweeter to me than position or riches or fame and I choose it above all things on earth or in heaven.

Though I am chosen of Thee and honored by a high and holy calling, let me never forget that I am but a man of dust and ashes, a man with all the natural faults and passions that plague the race of men. I pray Thee, therefore, my Lord and Redeemer, save me from myself and from all the injuries I may do myself while trying to be a blessing to others. Fill me with Thy power by the Holy Spirit, and I will go in Thy strength and tell of Thy righteousness, even Thine only. I will spread abroad the message of redeeming love while my normal powers endure.

Then, dear Lord, when I am old and weary and too tired to go on, have a place ready for me above, and make me to be numbered with Thy saints in glory everlasting.

Amen. AMEN.
