Take courage and speak out – your Lion Bites word for today

Now is the time to be bold and now is the time to speak out. Hear the Holy
Spirit as He encourages each one of us that this is the day to enter into
the reality that all can prophecy in his name. Don’t allow doubt to silence
you but instead take a step forward in faith and invite God to speak
through you to those who need to hear His voice, especially the lost and
broken.
He is keen to communicate with his estranged children who will not listen
to Him – but they will hear you. All of us have precious treasures buried
within that God wants to uncover and restore to us; you are the instrument
by which He can do that. Invite Him to be at your side throughout your
day, listen to what He has to say and take courage and speak out in His
name.
*Isaiah 6:5-8*
*Then I said, “It’s all over! I am doomed, for I am a sinful man. I have
filthy lips, and I live among a people with filthy lips. Yet I have seen
the King, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.” Then one of the seraphim flew to me
with a burning coal he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. He
touched my lips with it and said, “See, this coal has touched your lips.
Now your guilt is removed, and your sins are forgiven.” Then I heard the
Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go
for us?” I said, “Here I am. Send me.”*
*Acts 2:16-21*
*No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: “ ‘In the last days, God
says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will
prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream
dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit
in those days, and they will prophesy. I will show wonders in the heavens
above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of
smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the
coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. And everyone who calls on
the name of the Lord will be saved.’*
