There’s a certain level of effectiveness that you carry when you have truly overcome specific tests, trials, and circumstances in your life. You are able to reach certain people because, in your deliverance, you develop a sphere of influence.
For example, I have never been addicted to drugs, so although I will pray the heavens down on your behalf, I have not experienced deliverance in that area. I don’t really know how you feel. I may be able to imagine how you feel or even have empathy for you, but I cannot truly identify with where you are. It would be better for me to wisely point you in the direction of a Sister who knows where you’ve been because she is an overcomer in that area. She can walk right beside you as you are healed, delivered, and set free.
Sisters, look at your life and reflect on what you have overcome. Know your lane, share your testimony, and walk boldly as you encourage others Sisters. You must use wisdom. If you are married, your single sisters may not understand your marital challenges all the time. They may offer sound advice, but you have to always consider their perspective. (That’s a good practice any time you seek advice.) If you don’t have children, your sound advice may not be received when you tell a mom what she should be doing. You get it, right?
The point is: you have to be selective with whom you choose to share certain information and from whom you receive wise counsel.
