BREAKING SILENCE


It's time for followers of God and His Son, Y'shua/Jesus, to stop cowering to the oppressors. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. If the Lord is the defense of our lives, of whom then shall we be afraid? Are those just nice sounding words or life to you? These questions need to dominate and overtake our weak-minded watered-down faith. It's not enough to just attend some meeting and say I'm a Christian. We live in the most exciting time and the most dangerous. It's a time for action.
The Kingdom of God is not for the faint of heart. Though you may be comfortable now and say to yourselves that you need to not rattle the cage as it could cause a total disruption to your personal life, but I want to challenge you to something you may not be thinking right now; what you are comfortable in right now, you may not be in the not too distant future. What you possess right now may all be taken away sooner than you think. Starting with your personal rights. Are you ready for that?
We can no longer afford to be timid. We have a responsibility... not whether we endorse this candidate or that, but to the truth that God hasn't saved us just to go to heaven, but because the Kingdom of God is here and now and advancing through those who are willing to lay themselves on the line and stand for what is true and what is holy, we have a higher purpose to bring the Kingdom wherever God tells us to.
Darkness is advancing. Lies are now the truth and truth a thing of the past. Discernment for the masses has gone into hiding. What was once considered immoral and unacceptable now permeates our airwaves, our billboards, our iPads and computers, all forms of communications. Darkness covers the earth like a thick blanket and the only ones who have any power to either stand against it or stop it are the very ones whose voices have gone silent.
Y'shua/Jesus said, "There is no greater love than this, that one lays down his life for a friend." If you are a believer and a follower, where does that statement resonate within your spirit? It is not enough to just be convicted! Faith without action is worthless.
This country was founded upon the principles of freedom as laid out in only ONE book, the Bible. But today, not only has that been challenged and watered down, there are no voices "crying in the wilderness" saying, 'Prepare the way of the Lord'". I have people say to me all the time, "You're so bold... thank you for taking a stand." But the truth is, I am only one voice. There are millions of voices that need to be raised. Millions of those who claim allegiance to Messiah yet remain silent. How can this be? Where are the bold ones? Where are those who would lay it all down to follow Him?
Time is short. America is dying. Stand up and be counted or your voice will not be heard in that day when all you are comfortable in is all taken away because of the silence of the many. Ask the Jews of Germany.
All it takes is one individual, like you, to light a match… each one start a small fire. Each one say, "enough is enough..." "Greater is He who is in you, than he who is in the world."
All we have is now... that's all we're guaranteed. Stand, shout, and sacrifice! Blessed is the man whose trust is the Lord, for they shall not be disappointed!
