An empty vessel may have nothing to pour, but such a one is in the perfect position to be filled. I allow times in your life to come that would seem uncomfortable–dry and empty somehow. Now this is not to be misunderstood. There are parched seasons that are simply the result of starvation–neglect of My Word, this is your doing and not My heart for you. This season I speak of, I have called. I’ve pulled back to allow you to empty out. The cup that you always see full is now quite empty.

Do you trust Me? Trust that I AM in this with you?

If I AM your source, then I must be trusted in good times and lack–I’m not one to hold back, but I’m training you to reign and, therefore, you must be rein trained. For if you have a tender mouth, you’ll speak when I command, and not of your own accord of this I must demand.

Do not be afraid of silence

Think of it as white spaces; for when you then hear, it will be distinctive and clear. Practice this and you will see, and will soon agree, that what you hear will become more dear when I choose to speak to thee.*

“Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, for you know that we who teach shall be judged with greater strictness. For we all make many mistakes, and if any one makes no mistakes in what he says he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also. If we put bits into the mouths of horses that they may obey us, we guide their whole bodies.” James 3:1-3

“For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.” Matthew 10:20

“And they sang a new song, saying, ‘Worthy art thou to take the scroll and to open its seals, for thou wast slain and by thy blood didst ransom men for God from every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and has made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on earth.'” Revelation 5:9-10
