The Voice

This past Saturday I was with my sister and my cousin doing our weekly radio shows and the topic was: The Voice.  I'm sure alot of us know or have heard about the singing competition called "The Voice." What is so unique about the show is that there are four judges who have their backs to the contestants and they are simply there to listen to their voices.  It's a good thing because everyone gets a fair chance, they do not have to worry about being pre-judged by what they look like or what they may be wearing.  It's a singing competition and they will be judged strictly on their talent as a vocalist. 

And thinking about this, it reminded me so much of how God is with us.  He doesn't judge us for who we are or who we were.  He doesn't care if you are rich or poor, if you are popular, outgoing, or shy.  The Bible says that He makes no respecter of persons, in other words, he makes no distinction.  He has no favorites!  God loves us all, his children and even those who are living a sinful life, He despises the sin but loves the sinner.  And just as He blesses someone in particular, He wants to do the same thing for you as well BUT... you have to use your Voice!

If we were to really understand the power that we have in our voice, supernatural things would be happening in our surroundings.  When we open up our mouth to confess and make a declaration, we are making a decision to act.  We are convinced that things cannot remain the same!  Open up your mouth to declare changes in your life, let your voice be heard and decree healing over your body.  Manifest with your voice that things will not remain the same in your family.  If you only let your voice be heard and say the words, heaven and earth will be shaken and ready to work in your favor, just say the word!!!!

If you are content with everything in your life right now, then this isn't for you, "forever hold your peace" BUT I am talking to those who need a change.  I am talking to someone who knows that big changes have to come their way.  I am talking to someone who is "sick and tired of being sick and tired" and needs something different in their lives.  I am telling you today that God has given you a voice to stand up in the mist of the crowd, in the mist of a noisy world and make a declaration that will silence everyone and everything around you.  Declare change! I have good news for you today, there are no preferential treatments with God, if you declare and believe it, it is done. Just step out in faith and He will honor your faith. 

The Bible speaks about the faith of the centurion in Matthew 8:5-13.  This man was looking for Jesus because He knew the power that He had and the centurion made a request for his servant that was lying down on his death bed.  Jesus asks him if he should go out to the house and this man told Jesus, "just say the word and my servant will be healed." WOW! How powerful is that?  That shows us that there is power in the name of Jesus, there is power when words are spoken! Jesus then says "Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith." He was amazed at this man's faith! The story concludes in a miracle, the bible says that the servant was indeed healed by those spoken words that were declared. 

Today, I encourage you to speak words of faith, words of encouragement, words of wisdom, words of change! Open your mouth and let your voice be heard.  The bible says that the power of God is in us, He dwells inside of us so that means we have the authority to speak those things that we do not see into existence.  There is power in the words that come out of your mouth.  It's time to use it!

Be Blessed & Encouraged!
