Happy Day 3 Fiveamprayer Family! The Most High Yah is divinely intervening for us! This is Day 6 of Taming our tongues! Today we walk in the argumentative Tongue! We need to hold our peace and Yah will fight our battle!!!





The moment when you realize there are moments in life, the best thing you can do is keep your mouth shut. Yah has a plan for you a purpose that is unfolding in your life and there are times when silence is the key to unlocking the next level of your destiny! it’s easy to think that speaking out is always the solution! that your words will change things, but sometimes Yah wants you to hold your tongue. We are often quick to react to situations with words, driven by emotion, frustration, or a desire to prove ourselves, but Yah wants us to hold our peace.often times in haste to speak, we can hinder his work in our lives. You see words carry power! they create! they can destroy! the Bible teaches us that life and death are in the power of the Tongue, and Yah knows that if we are constantly speaking from a place of hurt, anger, or pride, we’re not speaking his will. He wants us to be wise in our speech, knowing when to speak and when to be silent! sometimes Yah allows us to be in situations when silence is the only answer! because he is working on our behalf in the background! when you feel the urge to defend yourself! to argue or to justify your actions, remember that Yah is your defender. He is your advocate. He will fight for you in ways. You cannot even imagine in those moments! keep your mouth shut not because you have nothing to say, but because you are trusting that Yah is doing the talking for you! you see silence is not weakness. It is strength under control. It is trusting that Yah knows more than you do! that he sees the whole picture and he has the final say! there are times when your words are not needed to change the situation! your silence, your patience, and your faith in Yah’s timing will accomplish more than anything you could say! Yah is teaching you something profound in these moments of silence!he’s teaching you how to listen not just to others, but his voice! he’s teaching you how to wait for his instruction. Yah does not need you to fix everything with your words. His power is perfect in your weakness, and sometimes that weakness comes in the form of restraint! when you withhold your words you are making space for Yah’s wisdom to come through for his voice to be louder than the noise around you! so when life gets difficult and you attempted to respond in anger, frustration or self-defense take a step back trust Yah! allow him to handle the situation. Keep your mouth shut and watch how he opens doors that no man can shut! watch how he moves in ways you cannot comprehend. Silence is not a sign of defeat! It is the place where Yah prepares you for victory!when you trust Yah with your silence, you are positioning yourself with his perfect intervention. There are moments in life with the best thing you can do is simply keep your mouth shut! we live in a world where we are taught to speak up to defend ourselves and to be heard, but what if I told you that in certain circumstance of silence is the most powerful tool you have! Yah has a plan for your life a purpose that he is unfolding in his perfect time, and there are moments when silence far from being a sign of weakness! It is the key to unlocking the next level of your destiny! When you’re faced with a challenge a confrontation or an injustice the natural instinct is often to react to speak out to defend yourself! to make sure your voice is heard, but sometimes Yah wants you to hold your tongue. This is not because your words don’t matter or because you don’t have a right to express yourself! but because Yah knows something you don’t! he knows the power of restraint, the power of waiting and the power of trusting him to work things out in ways that go beyond your understanding! in those moments when everything inside of you wants to respond, Yah is calling you to trust him with your silence by doing so you are positioning yourself in a place where he can move on your behalf Yah is not like man! when you speak in haste or out of frustration, you may find that your words make things worse, create misunderstandings or lead to consequences you never intended, but when you choose to remain silent, you allow Yah to take control of the situation You make room for his wisdom to come in and work in ways that you cannot fathom! there are battles that Yah is fighting for you in the unseen realm. When you keep your mouth shut, you are surrendering the battle to him. You allow him to speak on your behalf. You are trusting that his plan will unfold in a way that no human words can alter! Silence is not about inaction is about being still, and knowing that Yah is at work behind the scenes! there’s a divine power in silence that enables Yah’s will to come to pass in your life. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is nothing at all. You may feel like you’re letting opportunities slip away or that you’re missing a chance to make your point, but Yah is telling you that his plan is bigger than any momentary victory. You might achieve by speaking out!Trusting Yah with your silences, inactive obedience faith and wisdom is understanding that you don’t need to do everything on your own, or rely on your words to fix every problem. In fact, sometimes the most profound thing you can do is simply trust Yah enough to be still by choosing silence! you are showing that you are not reacting to the pressure of the moment, but responding in faith, waiting for Yah to move in his time! when you do this, you will find that doors open! situation shift and outcomes that you could never have predicted unfold. Yah’s timing is perfect and sometimes his timing requires you to hold your peace so he can make all things work together for your good! Words carry immense power they can build bridges or walls, heal wounds, or deepen scars. Words has the potential to shape your reality! your relationships! And your future and yet it’s easy to forget the weight that our words carry! when emotions rise when we feel hurt, misunderstood or disrespected, we may find ourselves reacting impulsively, letting words fly out of our mouth before we can even stop them in those moments. Yah wants us to understand that our words are not just fleeting sounds! they are seeds that we plant and the seeds we will eventually bare fruit whether good or bad. The Bible teaches us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. This is not just a metaphor. It’s a truth that has been proven over and over again, your words can bring life to a situation or they can destroy it. They can inspire and uplift, or they can break someone’s spirit. when we are caught up in the heat of the moment. It’s easy to forget how powerful our words are! that’s why Yah wants us to be slow to speak and swift to listen! he knows that once words leave your mouth, you cannot take them back. The damage can be done and the consequences can be lasting! When you are faced with a difficult situation or confrontation. There may be a strong urge to speak your mind to defend yourself to prove your point, but in those moments, Yah is inviting you to pause and consider the power of what you’re about to say! are your words coming from a place of anger or hurt! are they meant to hurt or to heal! are they a reflection of Yah’s truth or are they a reaction to your emotions? The challenge, then is to exercise self-control to choose your words carefully, and to understand that silence often speak louder than the most eloquent defense. Yah is not asking you to suppress your voice or to remain silent when you should speak, but he is urging you to be mindful of when your words are unnecessary, and when they are simply a reflection of your own ego fear or insecurity!!there are times when speaking up can make things better, but there are also times when silence is the best course of action! When you’re angry or upset speaking from that place can often lead to regret where silence gives you the opportunity to reflect! to see Yah’s guidance and to respond with wisdom and love. Yah understands the depth of our hearts. He knows the words we are about to speak even before we do, and sometimes he holds us back from speaking in order to protect us for ourselves, it’s in those moments when we bite our tongue when we resist the urge to react that Yah is doing a deeper work within us. He is teaching us to control our tongues to align our words with his will, and to use our speech to build up rather than tear down. This is not just about controlling your words. It’s about surrendering your tongue to Yah so that every word you speak, reflects his love, wisdom and truth. Yah’s desire is not just for us to speak less, but to speak better!!to speak life! to speak hope! to speak words that align with His purposes, and when we can learn to hold our tongue in those moments of emotional turmoil we make space for Yah to work through us. Our silence becomes an act of faith! a way of showing Yah that we trust his timing and his plan and that we are willing to let him guide our speech so that we speak only what is true good and life-giving. Yah’s timing is perfect and it’s often in the moments when we are most desperate to speak to act or to defend ourselves that we must trust that his plan is unfolding in ways we cannot see! the world around us is fast paced demanding and filled with moments where we feel pressure to respond immediately, but in those moments, Yah is reminding us that we don’t have to rush. We don’t have to solve every problem in our own strength or make things happen with our words and actions his timing is not like ours. It’s not bound by the constraints of this world and it is never late. His timing is always perfect. We live in a culture that celebrates immediate gratification that encourages us to take control of every situation and find quick solutions!!we want answers now and we want them on our terms, but Yah’s timing often requires us to wait to trust and to be still, and it’s in that stillness when we choose silence over reaction! that we position ourselves for the best possible outcome, there is a wisdom and a divine purpose, and trusting Yah to move on our behalf when we can’t see the full picture! When we don’t trust Yah’s timing, we often make decisions that lead to unnecessary struggle! we may say things we don’t mean! make decisions we regret or push for outcomes that aren’t align with Yah’s perfect will for our lives. The truth is Yah knows more than we do. He sees what we cannot see. He understands the bigger picture the end result the way forward and how our words and actions fit into his greater plan! when we trust his timing we allow him to work behind the scenes, orchestrating things in ways that we could never do on our own! waiting on Yah’s timing requires a deep level of trust and faith. It’s not always easy. it’s not always comfortable, but it is always worth it when we trust that Yah is in control. We understand that we don’t have to force things to happen. We don’t have to manipulate situations or rush ahead of his plan that we can rest knowing that he is making all things work together for our good when we remain silent! when we hold back our words and actions. We allow Yah the space to work in ways that we may never have imagine. His plan is unfolding in ways that are often beyond our understanding, and the silence causes us to in those moments is part of his perfect preparation for what’s next! silence isn’t just about refrain from speaking. It’s about acknowledging Yah’s sovereignty over every area of our lives is saying, I trust you, Yah more than I trust my own thoughts more than I trust my own understanding more than I trust my own strength by waiting on Yah’s perfect timing! we are acknowledging that his way is better than our way. His plan is better than our plan and his timing is the best timing and in that trust we find peace. We find rest that Yah is working everything out for us even when we can’t see it or understand it! so in those moments when the world is pushing you to act to speak to do something trust that Yah’s timing is enough! rest in the silence because in that space Yah is preparing you for something greater something better something beyond what you could achieve! through your own haste or effort, his timing is not just perfect. It is a gift that we must learn to receive with patience and faith. There are moments in life when we feel the need to defend ourselves to justify actions or to prove our worth, whether it’s an unjust accusation of criticism or misunderstanding, we instinctively want to speak up to clear our name to make sure people understand outside of the story, but Yah is reminding us in these situations that we don’t need to defend ourselves he would defend us. He is our advocate, our protector and our defender When we feel attacked or misunderstood. It’s natural to want to stand up for ourselves and make sure the world knows the truth, but Yah is teaching us something profound. He is the one who will fight for us. In fact when we try to defend ourselves, we may actually be working against the very process that Yah is using to teach us refine us and prepare us for the next step in our journey. Yah knows exactly what we need in every moment and sometimes what we need most is to simply be still in allowing Yah to work, the scripture is clear in saying that the Lord will fight for you. You need only to be still this is not just a nice thought or accompanying saying it’s a promise from Yah when we feel wronged or misrepresented, we don’t have to rush in and try to fix things with our own words or actions. Yah will take care of it. He knows the truth, and he is fully capable of handling the situation and ways that we can’t even imagine! when we defend ourselves, we may inadvertently create more confusion or make the situation worse, but when we trust Yah to be our defender, we leave the outcome in his hands, knowing that he will fight for us with perfect justice. Yah’s defense is not only a matter of protecting us from home, but also vindicating us in a way that reflects his glory when we trust Yah to handle the situation we give him the space to act in ways that will bring honor to his name and fulfill his greater purpose for our lives. Sometimes the best thing we can do is nothing at all! by holding our peace. We allow Yah to work in ways that are far beyond our comprehension he moves in his own time in his own way, bringing the truth to light restoring what was lost and making things right in aways that only he can! furthermore, when we allow Yah to defend us we also release ourselves from the burden of trying to control the situation it’s easy to become consume with a need to prove ourselves to show the world that we’re right, but this often lead to frustration, exhaustion and stress by trusting Yah as a defender, we free ourselves from the need to manipulate circumstances or seek validation from others we no longer need to fight for our work. Yah has already declared it, and he is more than capable of protecting us and vindicating us in the eyes of others! in our busy goal driven lives we may find it difficult to accept that some things are simply out of our hands! the desire to act to speak to make a change can feel overwhelming, but Yah is reminding us that there are times when we need to pause and wait for his direction. This isn’t about us it’s about trust! trusting that even when we don’t have all the answers, Yah does! trusting that even when we don’t see the way forward, he is already working behind the scenes aligning circumstances, people and events for our good! waiting on Yah often feels uncomfortable. We live in a world that celebrates speed and instant results, but Yah’s work is different. His work is thorough, precise, and perfectly time when we try to rush the process we risk missing out on the lessons. He wants us to learn along the way there is a beauty in waiting. It’s in the stillness in the moments of reflection that Yah prepares us for what’s next! he refines us teaches us patience and deepens our reliance on him! the waiting process builds our character strengthens our faith in ways that action alone cannot! we need to remember that just because we don’t see immediate results doesn’t mean Yah isn’t at work. There are times when Yah is preparing things behind the scene, softening hearts, opening doors, aligning situations, and orchestrating events to bring about his will in our lives! When we are silent, we are given the space to move in ways that we cannot comprehend! often Yah is doing the work in us during the silence. He’s refining our hearts building our trust and shaping us into the person we need to become for the next season of our lives our impatient or rush to act could cause us to miss what he is trying to teach us in the quiet moments. It’s easy to believe that we have to make things happen ourselves. We think that if we don’t take action nothing will change, but Yah is reminding us that he is the ultimate agent of change. Our rule is to trust and obey. Our rule is to wait patiently and listen carefully to his voice. There are moments when silence becomes our most powerful response! when we choose to be still we are acknowledging that Yah is in control and that his plans will come to fruition in his perfect timing. The challenge is learning to embrace the waiting. ALL PRAISES TO THE MOST HIGH YAH!!!
