Speak Up

Speak my truth gently and kindly to whom I send you. 

The enemy has muzzled you to keep you quiet when I asked you to stand up and speak. I handpicked you and set you free from the fear of men so that you could speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.

I am sending you to those who are bound by the fear of being hurt. They have accepted this fear as their portion. You are my conduit to carry my words. Do not listen to any other voices that cause you to shrink, withdraw, and remind you of your past agony. 

Listen only to your King’s voice. 

My Voice is powerful; my voice is majestic and my voice thunders. When I send you, go; when I command you, speak.

I chose Moses and sent him back to Pharoah to speak for those who were bound by fear. This is the God you serve. Ask for my direction, my time, my wisdom and when you open up, I will put my words in your mouth. My words, in your mouth, will set others free from ungodly captivity. 

There is a time to keep quiet; there is a time to speak. This is the time to speak and release my words.

Activation: Spend time talking to the Lord about how he would have you speak to those around you. Does he have a word he’d like you to share with someone? Repent for where you have been reluctant to speak and ask for a fresh anointing on your mouth and words. Then, seek his strategies for how to speak out in this season.

Acts 18:9-11 (ESV)

And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” And he stayed a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. 

Proverbs 31:8 (ESV)

Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute.
