Shout out not shut down!

Paul’s prayer was for strength to speak! Eph 6:19 “And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel". The devil constantly is trying to close the believer’s mouth. To minimize the value of uttering grace words. There is power in sharing words from Gods heart. Intimidation or insecurity robs from the manifestation of God. People need to know about the treasure that LIVES within you! The internal warfare that wells up can be met with - "Lord give me utterance to reveal your mysteries". God promises in Ps 81.10 if we open our mouth wide HE will fill it! Luke 19.40 says if we hold our peace than the rocks will cry out! Turtles are an interesting example - in danger they hide away in there shell till everything calms down. This is a great defensive tool, but for the believer we can’t shut down when thing get hot. Don’t be hijacked by self consciousness in thinking that your input doesn’t matter. God has prepared a word in season for all those who are weary today! Fellowship with Christ and lean on him and He will give you a word - in some cases it may break a bone - Job 29.17!
