John 1:19-
I want to talk to you tonight alongs these lines.
Are you a Voice or are you an echo?
Do you sound like everything else or are you rising as a voice of hope and healing for your generation?
Pray
We need voices in this generation;
A “voice” is something that is original
A “voice” is something that is sincere
but an echo is just something that is repeated .
John the Baptist was a single voice in his day among 1000 of voices that were nothing but echo’s
Make no mistake about it
It took guts then and it’s gonna take guts now
It takes a made of mind to be a voice
It takes courage to swim against the current
It takes resolve to create an atmosphere with my words that let people know that there is hope beyond their despair...................
The scene of this passage of scripture was tense
there was no prophetic voice for four hundred years,
from the book of Malachi to Matthew; heaven had been lock down
For four hundred years the nation of Israel had been in a spiritual famine
They were in trouble
Although the scriptures tell us that John the baptist had come out of the wilderness
It was really the nation of Israel that were in the wilderness spiritually.
Geographically they were in the wildederness
Politically
Socailly
Economically
Religiously
John is called by God out of this wilderness to teach and preach to people
He was called by God; but he had to come out of the wilderness.
and I want to tell you that you can’t stay in the wilderness
Compromise
Depression
Fear
Lust
The enemy wants you to live your life in a wilderness place.
He wants you to live in compromise
He wants you to live in Depression
He wants you to live in Fear
He wants you to live in Lust
But God is calling you out of the wilderness.
Just like He did John
John came out declaring; I’ve survived the wilderness
I’ve made it through some stuff and I’m here with a word from heaven.
Listen friend
When you come through some stuff
When you survived some long nights
When you survived the attack of the enemy
When you know “what it’s like” to come through addiction
When you know “what it’s like” to come through a rough family life
When you know “what it’s like” to go through your parents getting divorced.
When you know “what it’s like” to be abused
When you know “what it’s like” to not have your mom or your dad not present in your life
When you know “what it’s like” to wrestle with the enemy
Oh come on somebody.
When you know what it’s like to come out of the wilderness
The you can say: “If I made it, then so can you”.
When you made it through the wilderness then you will have a fresh word;
A testimony
You will be able to say Look what the Lord has done.
and if He’s done it for me; He’ll do it for you
You won’t have a problem talking about the goodness of God
H
You won’t have a problem telling others about the faithfulness of God.......................
being a voice
Here John is;
He came out of the wilderness and the nation had turned into a spiritual wilderness
Go back and study the history to see how they got to this condition
and you’ll find a man by the name of Antioc Epephes.
Around 170 BC; this man Antioc took over Jerusalem
He polluted the temple and he made the jews sacrifice animals to idols.
He built a statue of Jupiter, where the altar of burnt offerings should’ve been.
He burned the scriptures publically.
He prohibited the worship of Jehovah God.
And this society had plunged into a smoregesboard of immorality
and then in 37bc a man by the name of “Herod the great” came on the scene.
He betrayed the nation to the Romans
He fostered the idol worship of false gods and immorality of all kinds
He Massacred religious and noble people
He was a blood thirsty man
He was a self consumed ruler
This is the same man that had all the babies murdered at the time of Jesus birth.
It was in this atmosphere; that a man by the name of John steps on the scene
What I want you to understand tonight is that God will always have a man
God will always have a woman
God will always have a voice
He will always have that someone that will speak hope right in the midst of darkness.
and John steps out after four hundred years of empty echos
can I tell you
It’s in this atmosphere of our present day
In this day of echo’s on every corner
we are desperate for voices
This generation needs a voice .
This generation need a voice .
This generation needs to hear somebody rise up with a voice of hope and healing and help.
A generation that is plagued with sin in every crevice
sexual immorality like open sewers.
Churches are performing gay marriages
pornography is more readily available now than ever before on planet earth,
I read an article that said that $3,776 dollars is spent on pornography per second in America today
We are in a wilderness.
