1 John 5:4-5 For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
This is so cool! When we believe, we have victory because of Jesus. I am encouraged when I hear stories of others overcoming fear, worry, discipline issues, health issues and other victories. God is working through his Spirit and giving us victory. 1 John continues to talk about how we testify along with the Spirit. When we tell our stories of how we see God working in us and around us, we are acknowledging the work of and in agreement with the Holy Spirit. That is powerful. That is faith building victory.

YES YES YES. That is why it is so important for us to share with one another. I like how you worded it. We are recognizing the work of the Holy Spirit. That only makes what he has done and what he will do all the more powerful!!!
YES YES YES. This is why it is so important that we share our spiritual insights, learnings and struggles. Through sharing, others can learn and grow. We can have a huge impact on others just by sharing what we are going through. We also allow the Holy Spirit to work more readily when we share.
I too love to hear stories of how God is working in the lives of His followers, especially the women of the BOOK Club.
