FORWARD
In 2006, while in the process of submitting an additional chapter to complete the book, Lips: Sacred or Scarred, I was informed by my publisher that the section was the second part to another book. His advice was that it is sometimes best to leave the original product as is. The advice opened my ears to a mode of listening. As I was listening to the many things that were spoken in the Body of Christ, my ears were in preparation for many revelations to come. Five years passed and the work sat on the shelf. During this time, the focus of writing shifted. I began to be focused on meeting deadlines for monthly articles. Then I began to listen to children and was shifted to write the Destiny’s Closet, an inspirational series for children. Just as I was beginning the third book of that series, I was shifted back to pick this book up again.
During the time of resurrection of this book, I had to go back and read Lips: Sacred or Scarred. I had to be chastised because I gotten off course and let the enemy use my mouth. The beauty of that is, knowing that God chastises those who He loves. So it is with great thanks for His grace and mercy that He reminded me that our words frame the world around us, which the result of what we have spoken. Because of the power and authority of our words, we as Believers must be careful of what is spoken.
Chapter 1
The Power of the Voice
The Body of Christ has been given the gift of our mouths to speak creative miracles, signs, and wonders that will follow us, only because we believe. It is this belief system that causes many to question what it is that we believe? That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart, that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
(Romans10:10-11). The word salvation in Hebrew is soteria, of which one meaning is deliverance. Basically, we believe that Jesus is Lord, and our mouths testify of the seed of faith that has been embedded in our hearts through His righteousness and the power of His deliverance.
A point of discussion in Lips: Sacred or Scarred, is the dimension of the spoken word
, where Joshua prayed and spoke that the moon and the sun would stand still. (Joshua 10:12). Because of his faith in God, God honored the words that came out of his mouth. Joshua had a voice that would open or close the heavens. As I begin to mediate on this, my question is where is the power of the voice of the Believer today?
I remember viewing a program that provided financial information of the rich and famous. As I was listening, it was indicated that when a particular famous female media mogul would speak, the world would listen, heed, and move on what she advised. The very association of her voice with your product would create instant success. I begin to wonder, where is the power of the voice of the Believer, which was given unto us?
A Distinctive Voice
Your voice is unique to God, as he has fearfully, wonderfully, and marvelously made you. As His creation, He has placed a clear and unmistakable sound within you that is notable to Him. Make no mistake; He knows your voice just as He knows you. Let’s not forget that the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
(Matthew 10:30). Have you ever considered that in the midst of all the voices on this earth, that God’s ear is keen to your voice? Remember He sees, He knows, and He hears all. He is listening. To what? Everything!
