JOSHUA TIME 450
Welcome, Joshua, to the Prophet’s Chamber of Pastor Rod Parsley!
Joshua, this Prophet’s Chamber is a place where I can share teaching and discipleship from God’s heart — for my treasured Platinum Covenant Partners. It is my prayer that every time you enter this Chamber with your spirit open and ready to receive from Him, God will pour out His anointing into every area of your life. Your spirit will grow and be strengthened until you are a mighty spiritual warrior! May the Lord guide you by His Holy Spirit as you mine the treasures of His holy Word.
Prophetic Word: SILENT NO MORE!
If you think faith-filled believers are too outspoken in America today, consider this commentary by Martin Niemoeller, a Lutheran pastor in Germany prior to World War II:
“ In Germany, the Nazis first came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t Jewish. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Finally, they came for me, but there was no one left to speak up.”
, it is time for us as Christians to rise up, speak up and let our voices be heard.
Neimoeller’s rebellious sermons angered Adolph Hitler, who had him arrested in 1937. He was sentenced to seven months in prison. Then Hitler ordered him arrested again, and he spent the next seven years in concentration camps..
Concentration camps held unspeakable horrors for the victims of Hitler’s reign of hate. More than 11 million men, women and children died in fear and torment ... while their neighbors remained silent.
If you think something like that can’t happen in America, think again. Silence affirms wrong behavior. And those who live quietly with perversion long enough start to think it is normal.
That is why I have determined to be SILENT NO MORE!
And I challenge you to do the same ... ... To speak the truth of God to those who know only the answers of this secular age.
, it is our privilege and our biblical duty to stand up and speak out:“Does not wisdom cry out, and understanding lift up her voice? She takes her stand on the top of the high hill, beside the way, where the paths meet. She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city” (Proverbs 8:1-3 NKJV).
It’s time to cry out!
We’ve come to a moment in history when the possibilities for this nation are so great, when the crises in this nation are so pressing and when the voices of wisdom in this nation seem so few that not to speak would be the violation of a sacred trust.We must cry out for our nation to return to its founding values ... a land where faith is vibrant, moral boundaries are preserved, life is valued and schools and courts respect personal liberties.
God has placed in my spirit a vision for action ... with you in mind. He has given me a revelation of truth for this day that will empower you, guide you to preserve religious freedom and liberty for your children and grandchildren.
SPEAK WITH KNOWLEDGE — Learn the facts and educate yourself on the crucial issues of today — abortion, same-sex marriage, Internet pornography, judicial tyranny and more. You need to know what you are dealing with ... and what your children and grandchildren are facing.
SPEAK WITH AUTHORITY — Get the Word for God’s perspective on the challenges of today’s society. Read daily for the biblical and historical foundation you need.
SPEAK WITH WISDOM — Perfect wisdom only comes from prayer and fasting. Talk with God every single day. Pray for wisdom ... pray for your children and grandchildren ... pray for our nation’s leaders ... and pray for the future of America.
SPEAK WITH ACTION — Do not stand idly by spouting complaints. Get in the trenches and take action! Be involved in your local government and school district. Write your legislators when you have a concern. We must act. And we must act wisely.
More than at any other time in history, the eyes of America are focused on you as a follower of Christ. You must be prepared to speak for morality, truth and righteousness — both with your words and with your actions. BE SILENT NO MORE!
, this is simply not an option. Remember, if we are quiet too long, we may not be able to speak out at all.
