No More Silence of the Lambs: Taking off the Muzzle

The Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Darkness are at war with each other. Satan doesn’t want the saints of God testifying about the goodness of God and preaching the good news.


How can one be silent?

Satan wants to silence God’s people at all costs. It can be a distraction where people don’t do what they are called to do in the Kingdom of God.


It could be in the form of sleepiness and drowsiness. The enemy can make you feel so exhausted that all you want to do is sleep. It can also be in the form of having a poverty mindset.


This means that he can make you think that you are never good enough to be successful and create generational wealth for your legacy and for the generations to come after you.


What does silencing look like?

Silencing looks like that you don’t know who you are in Christ Jesus, therefore you are not beneficial in the Kingdom of God.


The enemy doesn’t want us to thrive and become leaders. He wants us to be followers of this world and for us to be led astray.


Who are we in the Kingdom?

We are the righteousness of Christ. However, God wants us to impact the Kingdom of God at all costs and Satan wants us to be influenced by him and his minions.


There are so many distractions that can be disguised as other things it is ridiculous. It’s disgusting to know that what we count off as something little can actually be something big to throw you off from reaching your destiny.


Can you still reach your destiny?

Now don’t get me wrong, you are still heading towards your destiny, it may take longer than expected because of the spiritual warfare happening in your life. You may need gentle reminders about what your calling, assignment, and purpose are so you can get back on track.


What are we called to do?

We are called to disciple others and rescue as many believers as possible to create this massive army of the Lord. The enemy doesn’t want us to come together to be all that God has created us to be.


Silencing brings disunity

This is where you see strife, bloodshed, and division in the body of Christ. People become murderers with their words and slander others through social media and other forms of communication.


Unfortunately, if we are not careful and do not put on the armor of God daily, we will fall victim to being silenced.


My testimony of being silenced

For many years I was silenced by not wanting to tell my testimony and help other believers however way God saw fit in my life. I had so much to pour out to others, but I got discouraged and distracted along the way. God’s calling on my life was still the same, I just didn’t hear the call through all the noise in my life.


Other ways in life to become silenced

We can also be silenced by allowing other individuals to speak for us. We weren’t bold enough in Christ to do what He said to do. We can fall into the comparison trap.


Another one is being passive and allowing others to do what God already told you to do. You take it as a pass not to do the will of God. The enemy banks on you doing this because he feels he got another one to work for him.


Knowing who you are plays a big role

The sad part is when we don’t know our authority in Christ Jesus, the devil can have legal grounds to influence us as long as he can until we come to our senses.


God is always fighting for us because in the word of God, it states that Jesus is our intercessor. Don’t allow the cares of this world to stop your worship, praising God, and doing what He requires of you.


Be bold and take action!

Take the muzzle off your mouth in the mighty name of Jesus! We don’t have to be yoked again in the bondage of sin. We don’t have to allow the negative thoughts to overtake us in our minds anymore. We can be set free indefinitely. Who the Son sets free is truly free indeed.


God truly loves us and He will deliver us out of the snares of the enemy. He wants us to fight for our destiny too! It is a battle to face off in the spiritual realm. There are souls at stake and the Lord is looking for those warriors who will declare, "For God I live and for God I die!" It is a bold declaration, but it sets you apart from those who have been on the fence about their calling in life.


Confusion is a factor

Don’t be confused anymore! That’s another tactic. The spirit of confusion comes when you need to have power, love, and a sound mind. Be sober-minded in this season you’re in to accurately hear the Spirit of the living God. He will give you instructions to do His will. You have to sit down and hear from Him. He will give you Scripture, and show you signs, symbols, and wonders.


I am a living witness as to how God will move quickly for His people when we have a made-up mind to serve Him and Him only. It pleases the Father to know that we can come to Him boldly and choose life over death. He rewards His sons and daughters greatly when we choose to impact others by spreading the gospel and not being ashamed about it.


That is where the silence occurs because many of us are ashamed of the gospel because of the fear of what others think about us. We must bind that way of thinking up now in the mighty name of Jesus! This is where you get procrastination and you’ll eventually become paralyzed in your spiritual walk. That’s not the will of God. He wants us to walk rightly with Him and be on fire for the Lord.


We are to be prisoners of hope for the body of Christ and unbelievers.

In order for us to effectively help the unbelievers, we have to get our fellow brethren out of the spiritual pit so that they can get to the palace.


It’s a rescue mission for those who have awakened and want others to know their position and rank in the army of the Lord.


There truly is an army rising up and it is time to take down the kingdom of darkness! They are already defeated by the power of the blood of Jesus! However, they still think they have authority over God’s people. In some cases, because of ignorance in the body of believers, they actually do.


Rise up people of God!

It’s up to us to rise up and get our people out of that grave and breathe life into them. We walk around in the spirit seeing from the Lord who we need to lend a helping hand to for the day.


It will be life-changing for both of you when you connect and pray. That divine connection is what ignites the fire. It’s exciting and it’s the gift that keeps on giving.


Take off the muzzle!

It’s time to take that muzzle off and rise up people of God! We need each other to survive! We are stronger in numbers. We are better together and we must come together to complete the work God has given us for His kingdom to continue to thrive on earth as it is in heaven.


It is a glorious feeling to know that you can save a life by your obedience to God to look for the sheep or that lamb who went astray. They can’t even cry out because their voice is muffled.


Sometimes we don’t even know we cannot speak until it is too late.


I pray that this word would give you the strength to speak what God tells you this hour.


Be blessed and encouraged! 💪🏾😊🙏🏾
