Text: Ps 29:3 The voice of the Lord, does not come by itself… Comes to Messengers sent by God Ephesians 4:11 The voice of one... can shake a nation Isaiah 41:3-5 3 The VOICE of ONE crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the LORD; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough places smooth; 5 The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” The devil fights the 5 fold equipping gifts Why? Because they are carrying “the ammo supplies” to give to the troops ( devil is after the ammo ) Paul said.... “pray for me”

Rom 15:30-33 NLT 30 Dear brothers and sisters, I urge you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to join in my struggle by praying to God for me. Do this because of your love for me, given to you by the Holy Spirit. 31 Pray that I will be rescued from those in Judea who refuse to obey God. Pray also that the believers there will be willing to accept the donation I am taking to Jerusalem. 32 Then, by the will of God, I will be able to come to you with a joyful heart, and we will be an encouragement to each other.

The devil fights the preacher ***************************^ Paul was carrying 2/3 of New Testament What to pray for your preacher

Col 4:2-4 2 Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving; 3 meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us “a door for the word”,to SPEAK the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in chains,

• door of utterance 4 that I may make it manifest, as I ought to SPEAK. Note Anytime God wants to change a church, city or nation He touches someone’s mouth God’s voice -- must be spoken through one of His servants Examples: God put coal of fire on Isaiah’s mouth God touched Jeremiah’s mouth Practical for today--

God touches a Preachers mouth Ephesians 4:11 That voice coming out of that office ... affects everyone Therefore--- never criticize a ministry gift Criticizing closes the door to the supernatural that is flowing out of that ministry office

Door of utterance Or A door for the word Acts 4 Boldness to speak the word Jeremiah 1:4-9 Note ...touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.

7 things when preacher enters the Door of Utterance

Door of Utterance....

1. Gives that Ministry Gift access to the Ministry Office ( Apostle, .... etc )

• In that office is spiritual gifts, grace & provision to empower & supply all that preacher needs to function & accomplish His assignment.
• Many preachers are not functioning from their office... They are functioning in the natural
• How does a man or woman enter that office... Must enter through the “door of Utterance” Note The man / woman of God is a natural person until they enter their office “thru the door of utterance”
• Therefore pray pray pray that God opens the “Door of Utterance” that we may function supernaturally from our office

1. The Door to a Nation is accessed by Utterance Eg. Jer 1:3-10 Angels are activated by words

Daniel 9 The supernatural is activated by words 3) This door... gives access to the harvest of souls 1 Cor 16:9 For a “great door” and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. Door of Utterance 4) Activates the Holy Ghost Acts 10:44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. Preacher activates spiritual outpouring of Holy Spirit through “Door of Utterance” Note The Holy Ghost fell on “all” those who “heard the word” H.S. Fell on specific location of the sound of gospel words. H.S. “Did not” fall everywhere... no one on the street got it... It fell in the “place” where the word was being preached The H.S. Fell on “the Voice” “the sound” the proclaimed gospel message The spoken word -- activates the supernatural power of God The word... was cross centred on the finished work of Jesus. Rom 1:16 Power is in the gospel of Christ... Door of Utterance 5) Gives access to the provision of the gospel 6) Gives the Body of Christ access to supernatural ammunition
