Is it time for you to find your voice? That may seem like a funny question but once you learn how important words are, it is time for us to speak up! We can speak words that lift up and build up, and we can also start speaking about what we are passionate about. God has given you a voice, and it is time to start using it! I know many of you might be trembling in your shoes right now, but God has called the body of Christ to stand up for righteousness, to stand up for truth, and to stand up for Godliness. What area within the body of Christ are you passionate about? Because we have adopted a child, I love speaking up about adoption. Because I’ve miscarried a baby, I love encouraging women who have as well. Because I had 4 pregnancies and deliveries pain free, I love speaking about supernatural childbirth. I love teaching God’s Word, and I love speaking God’s truths to anyone who will listen. So I’ve told you some of the ways I speak up, what has God called for you to speak up about? Have you been delivered from alcohol or drugs? There are lots of people who need to hear your voice. Has God brought you out of bondage, into freedom in Christ, speak up! If you’ve experienced the goodness of God on any level, others need to hear about it. You can use what you have been through to be a blessing to others. Don’t be shaking in your boots! His promise is that when you need to speak He will give you the words. So get ready. Find someone who needs to hear your story. Find someone who needs encouragement, and speak UP!
A prior pastor of ours used to say “your pain will become your pulpit”. Who better to encourage than one who has personal experience in an area.
