Billy Sunday’s Testimony & The Bible

It has been a while since I posted anything so I felt led to share the testimony of a great Christian leader. Not just any leader, a true man of God who allowed the word of God to change his life forever.

Billy Sunday’s Testimony
Billy Sunday (1868-1936) was a powerful American evangelist. He was an All Star Major League baseball player before his call to preach. He was a man’s man and a mighty preacher. Billy Sunday said, “Twenty-nine years ago, with the Holy Spirit as my Guide, I entered at the portico of Genesis, walked down the corridor of the Old Testament art galleries, where pictures of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Isaac, Jacob, and Daniel hang on the wall. I passed into the music room of the Psalms where the Spirit sweeps the keyboard of nature until it seems that every reed and pipe in God’s great organ responds to the harp of David, the singer of Israel . . . I entered the chamber of Ecclesiastes, where the voice of the preacher is heard, and into the conservatory of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley where sweet spices filled and perfumed my life . . . I entered the business office of Proverbs and on into the observatory of the Prophets where I saw telescopes of various sizes pointing to far off events, concentrating on the Bright and Morning Star which was to rise above the moonlit hills of Judea for our salvation and redemption . . . I entered the audience room of the King of Kings, catching a vision written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Thence into the correspondence room with Paul, Peter, James, and John writing their epistles . . . I stepped into the throne room of Revelation where tower the glittering peaks, where sits the King of Kings and Lord of Lords upon His throne of glory with the healing of the nations in His hand, and I cried out:

“All hail the power of Jesus’ name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown Him Lord of all.”

What about you? Has the Word of God had a life changing impact on all of your life circumstances? Has it caused you to pause and cry out in praise because of the life changing power of the Word? The Bible, read it, live it and love it!!!
