The Power of Witnesses
Deuteronomy 17:6 KJV
[6] "At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death"
God created all things that they might bear witness one for another, so that his works and his promises and his covenants might be established.
He himself is a Faithful witness that bears witness for the Son;
John 5:31, 37 KJV
[31] "If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
[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."
John the Baptist was also sent to bear witness of Jesus Christ:
John 1:6-7 KJV
[6] "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. [7] The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe."
One of the reasons God created Adam and Eve was for them to bear witness one for another, that the work of God might be established.
So, it was not good that the man should be alone.
But sadly, they fell because they walked alone.
Eve engaged the Devil and never bothered to check with Adam if what the serpent was saying to her were true.
Adam would have rebuked the serpent, but rather, she stood alone and " ate" the fruit first, before she gave to her husband that was with her.
They fell, because they could not bore witness one for another.
This was also why Jesus said:
Matthew 18:19 KJV
[19] "Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven"
God expected Adam and Eve to have agreed as one against the serpent or the devil.
For anything to happen, there must be a minimum of two witnesses.
Eve bore witness with the Devil that the tree which God could kill them, is now good for food and pleasant to the eyes and could make one wise.
And she took it and ate it. (Gen 3:1-8)
God himself also speaks in the plural:
" Let us...."
Because
1 John 5:7 KJV
[7] "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one"
That is also why the scriptures were written by several authors so that they can all bear witness of the Son of God from Genesis to Revelation.
It is the same person everyone was speaking about
The Lord Jesus Christ.
Who himself is the faithful witness.
Now, for anything to be established for us or with us
We must have witnesses
1. The Lord is our witness:
Romans 1:9 KJV
[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;"
2. Our works must be our witness too
John 5:36 KJV
[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."
What this means is that, does your works bear witness of the word of God?
3. Our Conscience also bears witness
Romans 2:15 KJV
[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;)"
4. The witness between the heart and the mouth.
Now one key witness that we must have on our side is the witness of our heart and our mouth.
The heart and the mouth must say the same thing all the time:
We believe therefore we speak
2 Corinthians 4:13 KJV
[13] "We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;"
We believe with our heart and speak with our mouth so that we can establish that which proceeds from our mouth.
5. Bearing witness of the Truth or the Word of God
This is another major aspect of the faith, that we agree with the Truth or the Word of God.
It is important that no matter what happens, we mustn't contradict the Word, but agree with it and bear witness of the Truth, for the Word is Truth.
God has made it this way that two or three must agree for things to be established in heaven and here on earth.
This is why the Church is the most powerful body on earth and even in heaven.
For we are all baptised into one Spirit and we have the same Mind and are of the same Body so that
Whatever we agree or bind or lose shall be done and established both in heaven and here on earth.
Because we also have the Witness of the Lord in our midst
For where 2 or 3 are gathered together in his name, there he is in the midst of them.
Let us therefore bear witness of the Lord and his finished works on the cross and the power of his resurrection
For there lies our salvation and redemption and healing and prosperity and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Praise God
