Passion has various meanings. A Compelling Emotional response of love or hate, and also suffering as a result of the opposition of people against you. This message is about the Apostle Paul’s suffering passion and God’s answer for him.
Four groups of people: Those who will not listen, those who listen and believe but are afraid to follow for fear of rejection, those that follow knowing the fear of God is the only thing that is important, and those that speak making it possible for others to hear and follow if they will. However, when you speak you will often face the opposition of others. Jesus’ followers prayed for courage to speak no matter the opposition.
God creates platforms for us to speak from. It is an area of your life where you have the opportunity to impact other people. On that platform the Lord will have words for you to speak – to use your voice – which is His voice through you. To be silent is to speak, in essence to condone what is going on when you should speak truth. Then in preparation for the election we find out that our vote is our voice and we must not be silent in this election.
