Napoleon, I was directed here by a substack host who described you as one of his readers, and included the question you appear to be struggling with, detailed here. He and I have shared a few limited exchanges with regard to scripture.
This post is a beautiful testimony, demonstrating not only great personal strength but, more essentially, durable faith.
Would it be overly intrusive to inquire as to your denominational history?
Are you a tireless student of the Holy Bible?
Your question on being "a witness" may well lead you to surprising answers.
I grew up Catholic, left the Church for decades and came back recently. I am now a traditional Catholic, specifically SSPX congregation. I am not a student of the Holy Bible, I just read the daily Gospel in the Daily Missal. Tracy, in the comments below says what I think is "witnessing." From a Catholic perspective, witnessing is really not "start your own Church," it's more live your life right and others will follow your example, even if you never know you had an effect on those people. That's what I'm taking it as. Just sometimes I wonder if I'm not doing enough.
I agree, it would be alot easier if he told his faithful how we move forward, but I think that you are sharing your faith in these posts and it impacts those who see it, they may share it and it grows, so I think you are witnessing.
The message was 'you will be my witness.' That's it. I don't know what it really means. That's why I'm asking God for clarification. Will he give it to me? In his own time I suppose.

Hi Cheeps! Can you comment on my rumbling on the theme of Revelation: https://nakedemperor.substack.com/p/why-anger-towards-the-unvaccinated/comment/5658124?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjo1MDg0NDQwNiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NTA3NDkyNzcsIl8iOiJ5bFBOciIsImlhdCI6MTY0Nzk1NTA3MCwiZXhwIjoxNjQ3OTU4NjcwLCJpc3MiOiJwdWItNjAyMzczIiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.eOBTbQJP2o9oCHntGFUfqqyXZp03DFTG_kMBrhIQobc&s=r

I was confused about the readership. Turns out I was the reader LOL!

God is weird. Someday I will write about my "healing" issues with God. It is all in his time.
How about starting with sharing the message? I'd like to know what it was, for one.

One of my readers, Cheeps, seems to be very educated and informed in such things. Should I ask him?
Sure. What does "witness" mean?
