For a couple days now I continue to hear the words “Held Hostage.” Finally the Lord sent His message to my heart. I can only offer it knowing He is speaking to a soul somewhere. I do know this..if God has planted a vision in your heart, you must protect it. The world can highjack easily a God given directive. Voices will speak into it that which is not from Him..not that it’s necessarily a bad voice at all, but the Lord has a specific vision He has called into being before the foundations of the world that you are to put your hands to. It is His Work…not yours. Therefore He has given you the responsibility to guard His vision as His servant. It is the difference again between “good” things and “God” things.

Held hostage
Is Thy vision sir
Freedom waits
Your voice be heard.
Captive has been taken thee
Solemn commands thwarted.. you see?

Your voice has been held hostage…yes?
Is freedom there to put to test?
Where’s Thy vision spoken to thee?
Allowed it held and kept by thieves?

Stolen has Thy plan of heart
Pitched thy tent in land as Lot
Well intent Satan’s used
Now it’s time to reveal truth.

Hidden is not deep despair
For you have still tarried “there”
What shall I do to spur thee on?
Where is Thy Joy…where is Thy calm?

Come O man restore Thy Call
The gate is open, the chains do fall
Lift up thine eyes O’ mighty man
Alone your not with you I stand.

Father, may the one or more you have spoken this for awake to your voice in this hour. May they restore that which you gave them and have courage to speak again. May their hearts be set free from fear, man’s approval, or a feeling that they are not worthy enough to lift their voice…may they realize their inheritance is at stake…as are the souls awaiting your vision.  Stir it up once again.
