FAITH CAPSULE: Are you too quiet not to be victorious?

Daniel 6

Is your crying consistent and loud enough to get heaven’s attention? Are you too quiet not to be victorious? The word encourages us to open our mouth loud. It is written, “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.” (Psalm 81:10) Crying out loud is not an evidence of weakness it is a demonstration of trust and understanding that God attends to His children. Jesus points out, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” (John 10:27) If we know His voice, He definitely knows our voice. Also, if we are hearing His voice, He will also hear our voice too. Do you have a voice in heaven which can be recognized when you cry out?

King David was so sure of his voice in heaven when he stated, “As for me, I will call upon God, and the Lord shall save me. Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice.” (Psalm 55:16-17) A very bold statement is the evidence of full assurance. He made a bold statement, “As for me” David made it known how to get heaven’s attention. Calling loud all day will get heaven’s attention. Is it your custom to be calling on God in the evening hour, morning hour and noon? Those who make calling on God their way of life do so regardless of their challenge. Does that sound like you? If so, you must be having a voice in heaven and all you need is to know not to be quiet before God when you call for heaven’s attention.

Just like David, Daniel had a voice in heaven. Calling day and night was Daniel’s custom. It is written, “Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.” (Daniel 6:10) In the face of challenge, he did not shy and could not be kept shut. He went and engaged his life style which is accustomed to praying three times a day. To cry out when need calls for will provoke heaven on behalf of those with registered voice in heaven. When it was time for Jesus to wake Lazarus he cried out loud. It is written, “And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me. Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!”
Do not be quiet in your seeking God.
