Muted
Mute
While having a conversation with a friend I was sharing how we need to be allowed to take our own journey, Though some aspects may be similar the bulk of it is unique to you and the call on your life. I mentioned how there comes a point where people may be talking but they are muted to you. I say this because some people try to speak against your journey or path. They can have disbelief regarding your purpose or promises. When I made that statement my mind went to the announcement of the birth of John the Baptist.
Zacharias was a priest which means he was one who studied and learned the scriptures as well as one who prayed on behalf of the people. But even with all that knowledge, there was disbelief when the promise of a child was spoken to him by an angel. The promise was too overwhelming to believe because he was older, but age was not a factor to God. As a result of his disbelief, the angel said the following in Luke 1:20 But behold, you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time.”
There may be people who are talking in your life but they are muted to your ears because of their disbelief in your destiny. Previously their voice carried a lot of weight but based on the promise and what has been revealed they are unable to conceive it will happen for you. They may see factors in your life as obstacles or reasons why God wouldn't, shouldn't, or why God can't use you in a particular way. As a result, they have an involuntary stillness, they are unable to voice anything regarding this season of your life. For some, this has caused confusion and frustration, but I'm here to encourage you TODAY!!!
Listen, Zacharias' muteness did not stop John from growing or developing. It did not stop him from maturing in the womb. It did not alter the plan, purpose, or promise spoken over his life. It did not cause God to change His mind. Let that also be the same for you. Don't worry about the mute, keep your eyes and ears to Jesus. Allow His thoughts and promises to continue to navigate you. Allow His presence to be the incubator where you develop His image and likeness. Let His focus be your focus.
And when the time comes and you are fully developed and released into the fullness of your calling, that alone will speak for you. And they may be like Zacharias in the end and declare as he did, Luke 1:64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, praising God. Either way please continue to become, please continue to mature, and please allow the work that God does in you and through you to be the greatest voice for you.
