Find Your Voice

Everyone has a voice. God created, made, and designed us for a purpose. I believe and know that God has a plan for all of us. In some form or another great or small, we have to find the voice that God wants us to use to impact others and win souls for Him. There are so many strategic maneuvars, such as blogs, website, books, groups, singing, etc., we can use to help people realize that Christ is real. Finding your voice is a spiritual journey. On this journey, you have to seek God daily to get knowledge and understanding of the voice He plans to use through you. This is important because you don't want to sound your voice prematurely. As a result, you risk aborting the plan God has for you.

Please understand that finding your voice is not going to be an easy task. While on this quest to finding your voice, you will go through many trials and tribulations, ups and downs, highs and lows that will only make you strong. You won't be alone. Christ will be with you every step of the way. He will even send you friends along the way to encourage and inspire you not to give up and go for the finish line.

There are believers who know their voice, who know their plan and purpose that God has for them. And I speak nothing but blessings beyond blessings upon them and their ministry. For those who don't have or know their voice that God wants them to use, don't get discourage. Don't even think for a moment that you are not worthy of God using a voice through you to make believers out of non-believers. You cannot let or allow where you came from, all the wrongs you've done, and your past hinder you from finding your voice. God does not see any of that. All He sees is your heart. As long as you sincerely repent and ask God for forgiveness, it is water under the bridge. It is tossed in the sea of forgetfulness.

It's time to find your voice. You can't find what you don't seek. Step out on faith and trust God to lead your path to your destiny and purpose. Just remember to keep prayer in your daily routine. Ask God to send you a mentor or even a prayer partner to help weather you through the storm, if necessary. Most important, stay in your bible. Meditate and Study God's word. Hear God's word. Live God's word. Do God's word. Through God's word, you detox your spirit and hear God's word clearly. It gets rid of all the static cling in your spirit. Most of all, God's word is your road map to your destination - your voice.

As you go about this journey, I pray for your strength and your faith. Feel free to email me or comment on your voice journey. To those know their voice and is currently using, share with us the obstacles you went through to find your voice and what God's purpose for your voice.

Here are some scriptures to get you started on your journey.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. - Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT)


Show me Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day. - Psalm 25:4-5 (NKJV)


Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths. - Proverb 3:5-6 (NLT)

Your sister in Christ,
