Silence is NOT an effective weapon!
There are times when silence can speak louder than words. Especially in relation to conflict with other believers. However, silence is not an effective weapon for spiritual warfare.
Church, this is not the time to think or imagine prayers, now is the time to pray prayers with your voice. The enemy is using his power of intimidation to quiet the church and we must not be silent.
Anytime the name of Jesus is proclaimed over situations of this world, there will be a comeback. The morals of this world are not the same as the commandments and attributes of God. If conflict arises because Jesus’ name is being lifted high let the conflict arise.
Christians are not subordinates.
Christians are not weak.
Christians are not easily intimidated.
Christians are strong and courageous.
Christians are willing to persecuted for the name of Jesus Christ.
Christians are not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The Lord is separating the wheat from the tare openly. Those who choose to remain silent when it comes to the truth of the gospel will be denied before God. Those who choose to open their mouth and proclaim the truth will be persecuted for righteousness sake, but theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction,” 2 Peter 2:1.
“But whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is,” Matthew 10:33.
“Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise; When he closes his lips, he is considered prudent,” Proverbs 17:28.

Hello sister and God Bless you.
If you allow me I will expand God’s meaning of truth, which is not limited to ‘only’ the Gospel.
I can witness of that. In and through my job I meet many whom, in an ‘anti-Christ environment’ not are afraid of to say they believe in Jesus Christ.
But, as one single example among many lies; when giving a person who suffer from psychiatric or dementia problems, the very same people who claim they are Christians, willingly gives medication to these sick people while telling them it is vitamins, or say to the dementia things which are lies, just for the reason to keep them “calm.”
The reason they don’t refuse to lie and tell the truth is that first and foremost they are not ‘renewed in their mind’ and not aware of that they are lying, and the second is that they will not risk their jobs and income, which is a witness of that they don’t trust in God.
It is time to obey ALL God’s commandments no matter any circumstances because ALL liars and ALL cowards will end in the lake of fire and there will be no excuse for anyone who will not take this seriously.
The blessings God gives to those who obeys Him surpasses any suffering endured for righteousness sake. Amen.
