TOPIC: Accept The Word And Speak It (TREM Devotional 1 October 2021)
“…And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness” Acts 4:31 KJV
The apostles spoke with boldness in their days. They were conscious of what they were speaking. They knew that the Word that goes out of the mouth of God shall not return void, but it shall accomplish that which pleases God and also prosper whereunto He sent it. They understood that when they speak God’s Word, faith is released by words through their mouths. They understood it and God honored the Word with signs and wonders. There was great power and great grace because there was boldness to speak the Word.
I am really concerned because I see a different trend in the entire length and breadth of the world. When they say, “don’t speak the Word again,” don’t say it. Keep your mouth shut. Believers keep their mouth shut and they feel condemned. But all through the scriptures, I see boldness. Joshua spoke to the sun and the moon with boldness. David confronted and spoke to Goliath with boldness. Paul preached with boldness. You also can speak with boldness. 2 Corinthians 7:1 says: “Having therefore these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God” (KJV). In other words, having the promises that God has made to us and told us who we are in Christ, we must use these promises therefore to cleanse ourselves. We must accept what He has called us. We must call ourselves what God has called us and then we get cleansed by the Word.
God says you are Holy, sanctified and righteous, no matter how you feel. It doesn’t ’have anything to do with your feelings but what He said. Scriptures says: “Having these promises…” You accept them as your portion. Accept the promises and speak them forth. As you do, great grace shall rest upon you.
The enemy doesn’t like what you are speaking. That is why they call you various names. But let them call you anything. Your voice must not be silenced.
