Silence in the Meetings

Silence in the Meetings

Why are there so many people who don’t say anything in the meetings? Haven’t we received anything from God? Hasn’t He saved us? Hasn’t He revealed glorious truths to us? Yes, of course He has, and yet people still sit silently. This must be because of pride. People don’t dare say anything because they fear it will not have the desired effect. Don’t worry about that. No one can testify like you can. Everyone needs to hear precisely your testimony. They suffer because of your silence. Open your mouth, and the Lord will fill it. Satan can take advantage of your silence and whisper to you that there is no need to take things so seriously in your daily life, because you don’t testify anyway. Put Satan to shame by standing up and testifying to what God has done for you; it will give joy to your brothers and sisters.
