Voiceless people

20 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.

21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. 22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men. I Kings 19:20-22

In this day many have lost their voice. Listening to the voices of others, we have followed after things that have taken our power to speak.  We believe in God but doubt his power to working in our lives.  If the Lord is God follow Him.  If our creations are god let us follow them.  We have been conditioned to believe the words of doctors, preachers, teachers, presidents as if they are true but the voice within our hearts we constantly question.  Faith is a powerful agent of change when it is towards the One that possess true power. 

Elijah was tired of the opinions and lack of faith.  He wanted to see a demonstation of God's power. Through his faith the children of Israel found their voice. 

39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.


Your faith allows people around you to find their voice.  The voice within that is able to lead and guide you to an abundant life.  The voice that takes you from famine to abundance. 

I want to follow a God that can do the impossible.  A God that works beyond symptoms and gives a cure.  A God that desires to demonstate His love and power constantly in my life.  That is a God to believe in and that is the God I choose to follow.
