Thank you, Sandy Bell for delivering this word on the silent tongue.  We have to determine when silence would be golden or when we are to speak what God has given us to speak!  Lord we pray that You would pour back into her for her time in preparation for this study on the tongue.  Thank You Lord for sending us this word in this time and season!  To listen to this message, click here.

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  I will not be silent!  I will speak it in love, telling others what thus says the Lord!
