Finding Your Voice
by Brady
Mathis
In a dream, the Lord showed me a man who had been in a time of trial and hardship. He was walking through a waste place and I heard a voice speaking to him. It was God speaking in a Scottish accent saying, "It appears that you have found your voice." I knew that the wilderness experience of the man was coming to an end.
The Scots have a great deal of tradition and heritage associated with their language and dialects. To this people, the sound of a person's voice is very like unto their identity.
In the trial we have opportunity to find our voice, just as Jesus did in the wilderness (Luke 4). Your voice is the expression of your identity, both spiritually and physically. It is the means whereby you exercise spiritual authority in the world around you and the creative force by which you can shape course of your life.
The wilderness experience comes to an end when you find your voice. If you embrace the revelation of who you are in Jesus, and take up the authority that He has given you to rule over the enemy you will come through the trial. If not, the trail continues to shape you like iron in the forge and under the hammer.
To you who have been in waste places and trials the Lord says, "Remember who you are! Let your voice resound with confidence in Me. Allow Me to renew your thinking according to My Word so that what you say defines a path of victory on which you can walk."
