When God tells you to speak and you stay silent, you don’t just avoid conflict you partner with darkness. That person’s blood? It’s on your hands too. Ezekiel 3 makes it clear. God told the prophet “If I give you a warning for someone and you don’t deliver it, they’ll die in their sin, but I’ll hold YOU accountable too.” This ain’t about being nosy. This ain’t about judging. This is about obedience. You don’t get to say “that’s not my business” when GOD made it your business. He didn’t call you to be liked. He called you to warn, confront, and speak what He say even when it’s uncomfortable. Your silence might feel safe, but it’s disobedience wrapped in fear. And that fear? It’s costing souls. Say what God told you to say. Even if they block you. Even if they talk about you. Even if they leave. Because their freedom might be on the other side of your obedience. And you don’t want their blood on your hands. 🧡

I don’t know who needs this… but I felt led to share it. If you’ve ever wrestled with discipline, grace, boundaries, or what “spare the rod” actually means in today’s world this devotional call might bless you. It’s called “Spare the Rod, We Claim the Child.” 🧡 If it’s for you, it’s for you.If not, maybe it’s for someone you know. https://www.bible.com/organizations/f16b484b-5323-4010-97ce-df2f5b9cb32c?utm_source=yvapp&utm_medium=share&utm_content=partner-page

Up until now, we’ve been dealing with mindset. Today, we deal with your mouth. Because faith doesn’t just believe … faith speaks. 📖 Mark 11:23 says: “Whoever says to this mountain… and does not doubt in his heart, but believes… it will be done.” Notice what Jesus didn’t say. He didn’t say: - cry to God about the mountain - panic about the mountain - beg God to remove the mountain He said: SAY to the mountain. That’s not disrespectful. That’s authority. Begging talks about the problem. Faith talks to the problem. Begging says: “God, look at how big this is…” Faith says: “Mountain, move.” Begging focuses on fear. Faith focuses on alignment. And here’s where many believers get stuck: They believe God can do it… but they don’t believe they have permission to speak. But Jesus never told us to wait quietly. He told us to speak boldly. Your words matter. Your voice matters. What you say and how you say it matters. This doesn’t mean you’re bossing God around. It means you’re partnering with Him. Faith-filled speech isn’t loud. It’s aligned. Reflection - Do you talk more about your problems or to them? - What words have you been speaking over your situation? - How would your language change if you truly believed God backed you? - Declaration I speak in faith, not fear. I align my words with God’s truth. I have permission to speak boldly. I say what God says and I trust Him with the outcome. Tomorrow we’re talking about why you don’t need to “check boxes” to be approved because that one has been holding a lot of people hostage.

Before we go any further into authority, bold prayers, and taking ground back, we need to ask a very real question: Where did you learn to pray the way you pray? Because nobody is born begging God. Some of us learned it from: - childhood trauma - being punished for speaking up - always having to “earn” love - church spaces where fear was louder than grace - homes where asking felt unsafe So begging didn’t start as theology. It started as survival. Psalm 82:6 says: “I said, ‘You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you.’” But notice what happens right after that in Scripture people still live like they don’t know who they are. That’s the issue. You can have access and still act afraid. You can be loved and still feel unworthy. You can be a child of God and still pray like you’re hoping not to be rejected. This is where healing meets faith. Because God doesn’t just want to change your words He wants to heal the place those words come from. If your prayer life sounds desperate, ask: - What fear is speaking? - What wound is still active? - What memory taught me that asking is dangerous? This is not condemnation. This is clarity. And clarity brings freedom. Reflection - When did you first learn to shrink yourself? - Who taught you that love had to be earned? - What part of your prayer life feels rooted in fear instead of trust? - Declaration I am healing, not hiding. I release survival prayers. I pray from wholeness, not wounds. I am safe with God. Tomorrow we step back into authority with healed eyes because bold faith rooted in healing hits different.
