I thank God for you today. You are not just someone who supports this ministry, you are part of this household. You are part of what God is building, and I want you to know how much I appreciate your faithfulness, your prayers, and your partnership.
As we continue this year, the Year of the Household of Faith, the Lord has been bringing greater clarity to my heart about how His household is meant to function. This is not just a concept; it is a way of living. This is how God designed His people to live and walk in victory. God never intended for you to struggle through life in bondage, fear, or darkness. He has called you to live as part of His household, a place where His life flows, where His Word governs, and where His people are strengthened together.
Galatians 6:10 says; “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to those who are of the household of faith.” This is not just instruction, it is revelation. God is a family God, and He has called us into a spiritual family where there is supply, strength, and growth.
But here is what the Lord has been emphasizing: If we are going to live successfully in the household of faith, we must learn to recognize His voice.
Jesus said in John 10:27 “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” That means there are other voices, but only one voice leads to life.
The enemy’s voice is always accusatory. Revelation 12:10 calls him “the accuser of our brethren… who accuses them day and night.” That voice brings condemnation, pressure, and wrong thinking. If we are not mindful, we can begin to align with that voice in our thoughts and words.
But God’s voice is completely different. His voice is full of mercy. His voice is full of compassion. His voice leads us to do good.
Acts 10:38 says, “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.”
That is the nature of
God’s voice, it restores, it heals, and it brings life. And this is where it
becomes very real for our daily lives: The voice you listen to will
determine the life you live. Your heart is the place where these voices are
received and formed into belief. It is the core where thoughts take root, and
whatever you allow into your heart will begin to shape your life.
Proverbs 23:7 says, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” What you continually think on, you are opening the door of your heart to. And when that door is opened, it begins to influence your emotions, your words, and ultimately your life.
This is why your words matter. Jesus said in Mark 11:23 “Whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will happen, he will have whatever he says.”
Your words are not just expressions, they are direction. They set the course for what you experience. But God has given us something greater.
When you were born again, your spirit was made one with Him. In 1 Corinthians 6:17 we read; “But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.” That means the same life that raised Jesus from the dead now lives in you. You are not defined by your body. You are not defined by your emotions. You are not defined by the thoughts that try to come against you. You are defined by your identity in Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:17 says “Therefore, if any man is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” And from that place, we must learn to live.
Psalm 103:1 declares; “Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name.” You must learn to speak to your soul, your mind, will, and emotions, and bring them into alignment with what God has said. You do not fight thoughts with thoughts; you fight thoughts with the Word of God.
This is how we shut the door to the wrong voice and open the door to the Good Shepherd. And partner, this is what we are seeing God do right now.
We are seeing hearts being healed, just as Jesus declared in Luke 4:18 “He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted… to set at liberty those who are oppressed.” We are seeing people come out of oppression. We are seeing lives restored as they learn to hear His voice and live from who they really are in Christ. And you are a part of that.
Because of your partnership, we can continue building the household of faith through Freedom Christian Fellowship, where people are strengthened by the Word of God, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and restored through the healing power of Jesus Christ.
From that foundation, we are reaching lives through Your Voice of Freedom radio and media, bringing healing to the brokenhearted through Healing Hearts Prayer & Counseling Center, raising up leaders through Light Christian University, and building real, life-giving community through Freedom in Recovery. This is not just ministry; this is the household of faith in action.
So I want to encourage you today: Guard your heart. Be mindful of the voice you are listening to. Stay rooted in what God has said about you. Because when you learn to recognize His voice and live from that place, you will not be moved by circumstances, you will walk in the victory He has already provided.
As Joshua declared in Joshua 24:15, “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
Thank you again for standing with us. We are praying for you, and we are declaring God’s blessing, favor, protection, and provision over you and your household of faith.
If you have any prayer
requests, please let us know. I will continue praying Psalm 91, Ephesians
1:13–23, and Ephesians 3:14–21 over you and your household.
