Being Silent Isn't One of Them

I've having a lot of dreams since last Sunday, hence my many blogs since then. Last night's dream has influenced this blog:

I was in a dark room; I believe our church's sanctuary because I can recall the three stained glass pieces on our stage and the hole in the roof above. There were many people in our church, listening to a guy in black with red eyes, preaching on the stage. I was frantically trying to shout, warn them that he was a false shepherd, a great deceiver but I was mute. He looked at me and I heard his laughter in my mind. Then I woke up.

This dream confirms the emotions I have been feeling and also my great desire to teach people the truths we are not taught.

I know many look down upon me for being young, both in my years since birth and months in my salvation. What angers me is that the little children, knowing I am so young in my walk with God, come to me, asking me to teach them how to anoint rooms and themselves, how to rebuke demons, wind and storms. They ask me how I hear God, how I have visions and dreams. Yet it is the adults who look at me with disdain. It is so frustrating!

2 Timothy 4:12! I even have a shirt that has it written. Do not look down upon me for being young! See me as an example to all believers!

So many of us are not taught the truth of the Spirit. We are not taught of the spiritual gifts, of spiritual quickening, of demonic oppression and possession. We are only told that the enemy is there. We know this! We should be taught in recognizing the signs of oppression and how to rebuke it and then retain the freedom!

We are commanded to be many things. We are to love one another as He loves us. We are to lay up our treasures in Heaven, not on Earth. Pray for those who persecute you. Honor our parents. Be born again. Await His return. Beware of false teachings.

We were never told to be silent.

I love my God. I adore Him. Yes, I am young in Him and in my years since birth. But I love Him. I love my Christ siblings and my spiritual parents. I want to lead the children to Him.

I cannot be silent about God and I cannot be silent about the truths that are not taught openly. We are told to be free and be His children. How can we be free when we are fearful? How can we be free if we do not know we are to be free? 

This is what I teach and try to be an example of. And I will not be silent.
