Silence
“I was mute with
silence, I held my peace even from good, and my sorrow was stirred up. My heart
was hot within me; while I was musing, the fire burned.” (Psalm 39:2-3, NKJV)
While sitting on our front porch swing in the early morning hours, the
cool breeze blew gently across in the quiet moments. While others continued to
rest in bed, or prepare for the new day, I enjoy these times in prayer and listening to our Lord’s heart
and voice. He enjoys it too, I believe, as time is given with Him and His Holy
Spirit.
Then within my spirit, I sensed a weeping build up, as if I was
interceding for another who was softly crying out to the Lord. I continued in
prayer, and He spoke, “Silence.”
Not one but several I understood were crying out to the Lord in this
hour. I was interceding for them. As they sought the Lord, knowingly or
unknowingly, He was having me join them in prayer. His heart was being shared
with me, for them.
Throughout the ages, the Lord has called upon His people to stand up and
speak up for those who cannot. We are being asked to intercede for the unborn,
the prisoners lost in deep, dark cellars, the believers in closed nations that
are being persecuted for following the Way, the Truth, and the Life, Jesus,
Yeshua. We are being called upon to speak up, and not remain in silence, for
those who can’t.
As many are left alone, having no mouth to speak for themselves for the
world to hear, we must be the ones who rise and speak for them. For many, it is
us, the believers of the only Savior, who know the truth, who are the ones who
need to speak for those who have been silenced, or whose mouth has not even
been allowed to breathe the air of life for the first time outside the womb.
Every opportunity you get, every moment you have been given, to
intercede, to write, to speak…do it. Those of us who know the truth must now
speak it. Boldly, loudly, and with the confidence that Truth, His truth, will
be heard.
Now think of this,

P.S. As I was writing this, my WORD document kept shutting down. No obstacle must keep us from speaking up.
