The Power 0f Your Story - "Just Ask Me" Kingdom Life University

Amazingly the bible is a book of short stories. The entire creation story in Genesis is told in 33 verses!  Astounding!  Only God could be so concise.  Paul's entire conversion story in Acts 9 is only 9 verses.  One of the greatest parables in the bible is the good Samaritan.  It has a plot, setting, 5 characters which represent all of humanity, and a message.  Yet the story is only 6 verses in Luke chapter 10.  Jesus used short stories to teach the kingdom of God. Jesus practiced one of the great teaching principles found in Gregory's 7 laws of learning.  It is the law of the language.  What is that law?  The language must be common to both the teacher and the listener.  Have you noticed how common the language of Jesus was?  He taught, "A certain man had two sons", "A sower went forth to sow seeds", "A certain man had a vineyard".. etc.  He was without question the greatest story teller ever.  We call these parables or short stories.  I have been teaching and holding "Just Ask Me" workshops for years, teaching people how to write their story in 1,200 words or less. We have even published materials to assist you.  I believe one of the great witnessing tools is your own personal story of your encounter with God.  Have you ever written it?  Would you like to?  I recently ran across a lady who had gone through my "Just Ask Me" workshop years ago and she shared how she had handed out thousands of her stories with great results. She has worn her "Just Ask Me" button almost every day for years.  People simply ask her "Just as you what?" and she says, "Oh, It's my story how God touched my life", and then she gives them her story and let's it witness for her.  Simple and powerful indeed.  This is the recent teaching I did on "Just Ask Me" at Kingdom Life University.
