Use Your Voice, Church!

Church, now more than ever we must release our Roar! God is calling His church to use her voice. We must not allow the enemy to silence us, or to hinder the church from speaking truth.

During Worship on Sunday, June 28, 2020, as the church was singing the song, “No Longer Slaves” I was worshiping, praying, and interceding when I received a short shocking vision with a prophetic word. I didn’t release it that day as I wanted to marinate on it a little more and seek the Father’s heart.

I saw the poster for the movie “The Silence of the Lambs” but the emphasis was on the title and the moth covering the woman’s mouth.  But the words “Silence the Lambs” were highlighted and then it rearranged into “The Silenced Lambs” I gasped and whispered to the Lord; “this is not a good thing.” To which He responded: “No it is not. MY lambs must not remain silent!”

Then I began to scribe the following message.

MY lambs must not remain silent!

The Lamb of God and His sheep must not be silenced.

Do not allow fear to silence you or hold you back from speaking God’s truth!

Church, now more than ever we must release our Roar! God is calling His church to use her voice. We must not allow the enemy to silence us, or to hinder the church from speaking truth.  God’s truth, not man’s truth, not our own personal truth, BUT God’s truth. Truth according to His Word.  (Romans 12:2; Romans 8:26-27)

2 Chronicles 7:13-16

“When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place. I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that my Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.”

Church, it’s time to use your voice:

We must pray.

We must proclaim.

We must discern, declare, and decree.

We must Rise Up and Release the Roar of His Word over this land – our land – our nation.

Church, it’s time to unite your voices.

Oh Church, His beloved Bride, do not remain silent in this hour!

Again, God said:  My Lambs must not remain silent at this time!

God is telling us it’s time to use our voice. To speak out loud the Scriptural Spiritual Truths we find in the Word of God. It’s not just enough to pray them in our mind or under our breath. We must be BOLD; we must use the authority and power of our voice to speak aloud our prayers. But more than that, we must begin to proclaim the goodness of God into situations and circumstances.  We must begin to declare and decree.

We must ask for an increase of Holy Spirit discernment in this hour. We cannot be swayed by what we see, feel, or think in the natural. We MUST purify our hearts. We MUST discern God’s Heart. We MUST hear His Voice. WE MUST be filled with His Spirit. We Must use our voice to release the sound of Heaven. (Ps 51:10; Prov 18:20-21; Prov 31:8-9; Matt 12:36-37)

There is power in our voice! There is authority in our voice. There is breakthrough in our voice. Oh, lambs of God – DO NOT REMAIN SILENT at this time! Use your voice – it is a weapon in the heavenly realm.  Begin to declare and decree the destiny and plans of God over your families, your churches, your cities, and your nation.  God has exceedingly great plans for His people.

Rise up and Release the Roar of the Lamb of God that is within you!
