Speak and break the silence

After writing last weeks blog and really giving myself some time to just sit and think and be silent before the Lord... I had a revelation while sitting in church last Sunday. Really it was more the Lord kinda smacking me in the face with reality... BTW i need that more often than not... The Lord told me i have to break the silence. Fear in my life was making me silent even in my own home... i couldn't remember the last time i prayed out loud, i couldn't remember the last time there was a roar of praise coming from my lips.

So often as Christians(Christ followers,those who are like Christ)we forget what it means to really be a christian. Do you think Jesus was saying quiet whispering prayers when he was in the Garden of Gethsemane praying for his cup to be taken from him.(Matt 26:39 NKJV) I am going to guess not so much... the same way you can't communicate with another person silently you can't communicate with God with out speaking. I mean really, think about it the whole world was SPOKEN into existence ... this is the power of life in death in the tongue.(Prov 18:21) we overcame by the blood of the lamb and the WORD of our testimony(Rev 12:11) In the beginning was the Word( John 1:1)... When you give your life to the Lord you confess with your mouth and with your mouth you are saved(Rom 10:9-11).

I Broke the SILENCE!!! This morning I went to the secret place with boldness and i prayed as Jesus taught us to pray saying :

Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be your name.

Your Kingdom come Your will be done

on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread

and forgive us our debts

as we forgive our debtors

And do not lead us into temptation

but deliver us from the evil one.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever Amen.. (Matt 6:9-13)

Ladies and Gents it's time to break the silence. When the devil can silence you he has no reason to be threatened by you. The words that struck me to the core "the devil want to silence you.... so you ain't sayin you ain't prayin" -PD Evrist...

this is just one small step on the journey i know the Lord is taking me on..so far it's has been an adventure of epic proportion!
