Quit Biting Your Lip
Quit Biting Your Lip
Have you ever bit your lip and soon after without warning you bite it again? Well, the other day I bit my lip and next day it happened again. This second time I heard the Holy Spirit say, “You need to quit biting your lip”. I knew immediately what He was saying to me, it was time stop being quiet. This year with all its chaos and drama has had an effect of causing many of the followers of Christ to sit by quietly failing to be a voice for Christ. It is as if the facemasks that we wear are symbolic muzzles, keeping us from being bold for the cause of Christ. I watched a TV program recently that portrayed Christians as hypocritical, mean-spirited bigots. At the same time one of the lead figures in the show was shown as a kind, loving person even though his lifestyle did not line up with the Word of God. Those of us that are trying to live out our lives humbly and peacefully before God have failed Him in that we have allowed others to muzzle us like you would muzzle an angry canine. The world is trying to keep us from proclaiming the Word of God because they are afraid of our bite. It is true that Jesus was meek as Lamb, but He was also as mighty and power as a Lion. He is the Lion of Judah! This is the year of the mouth, not through the flesh, speaking whatever our emotions want us to blurt out of our mouths, but through the Holy Spirit roaring like a Lion, roaring out the mandates of the Father. So, it is now time to quit biting our lips and begin to follow the lead of the Holy Spirit proclaiming the Word of the Lord throughout the earth. As we do this, we will begin to see the Holy Spirit performing all that has been promised in the Word of God. Lives will be changed by the power of the Holy Spirit. Joel 2:28, 29 “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit.” I do long for this prophesy to come past. I long for eyes that are blind to the truth of God to see. I long for the healing of God to touch lives of others like never seen before. Please join with me in prayer for all of us, the followers of Christ, that we will begin to walk in a Holy Boldness and reach our world for Christ!
Shalom,
Terry
