The Voice of the Ministry. When God calls someone, He anoints their voice to shape nations, comfort the broken, and confront darkness. The words we speak as ministers must therefore be directed by the Holy Spirit and rooted in Scripture.

00:00Welcome to Life-Changing Word with Bishop Edward Brink.
00:08The Bible declares in Hebrews 4.12, for the Word of God is alive and powerful.
00:14Now, prepare your heart and mind for today's Word with Bishop Edward Brink.
00:21Greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
00:26Welcome to another edition of Life-Changing Word.
00:34Psalm 19, verse number 14.
00:40Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight,
00:50O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.
00:55Proverbs 18, verse number 21.
01:00Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
01:10In my introduction, the voice of the ministry is not just sound.
01:22It's a sacred instrument through which God communicates His will to people.
01:30From prophets to pastors, teachers to evangelists,
01:37every true servant of God carries a voice that must reflect God's heart,
01:45His truth, and His authority.
01:47When God calls someone, He anoints their voice to shape nations,
01:59comfort the broken, and confront darkness.
02:03The words we speak as ministers must therefore be directed by the Spirit and rooted in Scripture.
02:17Let me give you seven qualifications of a ministry voice.
02:27Number one, a voice that commands authority.
02:33Matthew 7, verse number 29 says,
02:38For Jesus taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.
02:48When a servant of God speaks under divine authority,
02:55the words carry spiritual weight.
02:59Authority is not arrogance, it's the assurance that you represent heaven.
03:07A voice of authority silences confusion, rebukes evil, and releases God's will on earth.
03:21The voice of authority declares heaven's decree with confidence and clarity.
03:31The Scripture tells us that God is not the author of confusion,
03:38and that's the reason why we need clarity.
03:42Number two, a voice that speaks in faith.
03:50Romans chapter number 10, verse number 17 says,
03:56So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.
04:04Faith-filled words create an atmosphere for miracles.
04:11The minister's mouth should echo what God says, not what circumstances show.
04:22Speaking faith means declaring victory before you see it.
04:29Your words frame your world, so speak what aligns with God's promise.
04:40The voice of faith calls things that are not as though they already are.
04:48Number three, a voice that builds and encourages.
04:55According to Ephesians 4, verse number 29, it says,
05:02Let no corrupt word proceed of your mouth,
05:08but what is good for necessary edification,
05:13that it may impart grace to the hearers.
05:19People of God, we must understand that God's ministers are called
05:25to build people up, not tear them down.
05:30The voice of the ministry should strengthen the weak,
05:36comfort the weary, and inspire hope.
05:40Every sermon, prayer, and conversation
05:45should leave someone closer to God.
05:49Number four, the voice of edification restores broken hearts
05:55and strengthens weary souls.
06:00Number four, a voice that prevails in prayer.
06:07Jeremiah 29, verse number 12 says,
06:11Then you will call upon me and go and pray to me,
06:18and I will listen to you.
06:23People of God, prayer keeps the minister's voice spiritually charged.
06:33Without prayer, words lose their power.
06:38When a minister prays, heaven responds.
06:44Elijah's prayers stopped and started the rain.
06:48A prayerful voice moves mountains and changes destinies.
06:55The praying voice releases divine power
06:58that words alone cannot produce.
07:03Number five, a voice that declares salvation.
07:11Romans 10, verse number 19 says,
07:15That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus
07:20and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead,
07:27you will be saved.
07:29The central message of every ministry must be salvation through Jesus Christ.
07:43Our mouths must proclaim the good news boldly.
07:50It's not enough to preach inspiration.
07:54We must preach redemption.
07:57We must preach deliverance.
08:01We must preach salvation.
08:05The voice of salvation invites lost souls into the family of God.
08:16The voice of salvation opens the door of grace
08:22A voice for every heart that believes.
08:26Number six, a voice that release forgiveness.
08:37Jesus hung on the cross and he says,
08:42Father, forgive them for they do not know what they do.
08:48Luke 23, verse number 34.
08:53Forgiveness reflects the heart of Christ.
08:57Ministers who forgives freely can minister freely.
09:05A forgiving voice brings peace, reconciliation, and healing.
09:12Unforgiveness silences spiritual authority.
09:17But forgiveness restores the flow of grace.
09:23The forgiving voice breaks the chains of bitterness and brings restoration.
09:30And finally, a voice that speaks truth in love.
09:42Ephesians 4, verse number 15 says,
09:45But speaking the truth in love may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ.
09:58Truth must always be at the center of ministry.
10:07Yet truth without love wounds rather than heals.
10:15Ministers must declare God's word boldly but with compassion.
10:21The voice of truth corrects without condemning and enlightens without embarrassing.
10:31The truthful voice reveals God's heart while preserving unity and grace.
10:40In my final conclusion, let me say this, that your voice is a spiritual instrument.
10:50Use it wisely.
10:52As ministers, parents, leaders, or believers, we must ensure our words reflect Christ's character.
11:05Speak with authority, faith, faith, and compassion.
11:10Use your mouth to pray, to bless, to forgive, and to speak truth.
11:18Ask God daily to sanctify your speech so that every word you speak carries his power and presence.
11:30Let your voice be a vessel through which lives are changed and God is glorified.
11:53Amen.
11:54This is the life-changing word of God for the people of God.
12:02And may God bless you at this time.
