Romans 12:6 (NLT)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is God who gave the faith and the grace. It all emanates from Him, and if He has given you the ability to prophesy, then don\u2019t hold it back. Some people have been given the grace to speak and to speak clearly, to the blessing and edification of the Body. If God has given you the ability to so speak, don\u2019t feel that others may look down on you. Don\u2019t worry others may think that you are being presumptuous. It\u2019s not what others think that matters; it\u2019s what God thinks that counts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speak out. Don\u2019t hold back. There\u2019s something stored up within you; bring it out. There\u2019s a fountain bubbling up within you; release it. Don\u2019t over analyze. Don\u2019t over criticize yourself. Don\u2019t let fear hold you down. There\u2019s a grace given to you to speak, and your speaking will be a great blessing to the Body. He never said everyone will appreciate your gift. He never promised that your speaking out will always bring a positive response. His command is simple: \u201cIf I have put something in you to speak, it is disobedience not to do so for any reason.\u201d You don\u2019t have to be an orator, neither do you need to be eloquent. Whether your speech is in writing, singing or lecture \u2013 just speak out and release the treasures stored up within you. Again, be clear about this: failure to speak by God\u2019s grace is disobedience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLord, I will not stifle or resist the inward push to speak, once am sure it\u2019s being done for Your glory alone. Give me the liberty to freely discharge what You have placed inside of me. In Jesus name. Amen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
