I Have a Voice


Voices of my past, voices of now; come rushing at me, bombarding my thoughts, trying to tear me down. There are voices everywhere; voices of lies, clawing at me, loud voices, silky, slinking voices trying to shred my very being.

Hush, my child, hush my child, listen to me; don’t accept the voices that take you away from me.  I have given you a spirit not of fear, but one of power, love and a sound mind.  My Spirit allows you to cry, Abba Father and it settles you into a place of peace.

Voices of anger, voices of rebellion, threaten to rise up in me, against the voices that are slamming against who I am.  I want to shout and fight back, to beat down the voices that are shrieking at me.

Hush my child; don’t listen to the lies of the enemy.  Find your center, your voice in Me.  I am the great I AM.  I am the God of Abraham and I am your God.  I love you and that is what you need to know.  No matter your mistakes and sins of the present, past or future, you are safe in your Daddy’s hands.  No power of hell, no person of influence can snatch you out of my hands.  I have paid for you with the blood of the Lamb.

The pound of my heart starts to beat in rhythm with the truth of God’s word.  The voices that clamor for my attention start to fade away.   I began to listen to the voice of the Great I AM.  I hear the voice of Jesus, the One and only perfect Lamb.

My blood was spilled out on the cross for your sins; and I cover you completely from within.  The power of the cross cannot be broken, for I took your place on Calvary’s tree and my blood was spilled out for thee.  My love covers a multitude of sins.  My love sets you free within.  I give you a voice that sings, freedom!  My voice gives you the ability to forgive; it opens up your heart and allows you to live. You are mine, no matter what others say.  You are my child and I love you and created you in a very special way; you are unique and wonderfully made.

Lord Jesus, Abba Father, I hear your voice calling me.  My heart releases all my fears, anxieties, anger and shame.  I put in place, your perfect covering.  Holy Spirit, you give me the voice and power to praise and sing.  I am a child of God; I am redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.  I’ve been chosen by the Great I AM.  I am safe in my Father’s arms and I need not fear.  All that I go through passes through his hands because I am a beloved child of the Great I AM.   I am no longer chained to the voices of this world; the ones that try to suck me down and still my joy from within.

That’s right my child, sing praises to my name, focus your heart and mind on my truths, and my Spirit will pull you above the waves.  I am the Rock that you can stand on, all other ground is sinking sand, but I am solid because I am the Great I AM.

The voice of the Spirit stirs inside and starts to rise from deep within. My heart is full of praise for you my God, for you Jesus, my powerful, Savior, Deliverer and friend. The healing truths of your word set me free within and whom the Son has set free is free indeed!

 Lord you have broken up the fallow ground, the waters from beneath are springing up from within, bringing new life to me.  Abba Father, Daddy, Jesus, Thank you for your goodness and for your love.  Thank you for your Spirit who comes from above.  Thank you for the freedom I have in you.  Thank you for giving me a voice that can sing out clear and true.

Lord, I pray for all the beaten down and weary.  I pray for those who have no voice.  God, intervene and give them a voice that comes from your Spirit.  Give them a voice that shouts, Freedom!  Calm their hearts and minds, and give them peace.  Put a new song in their hearts Lord and lead them on your path of truth and love.  Amen
