Unleashing the Royal Roar

The Enemy knows the power of a believer’s voice. When a believer speaks life, hope, and love to what appears dead and hopeless, God’s life will dispel the darkness surrounding them. When we boldly raise our voices in God’s truth and authority, we will defeat the Enemy.

Keep an eye out for the tools the Enemy uses to silence believers, such as self-hatred, fear, depression, shame, and timidity. Stand strong in the Lord and battle the Enemy’s schemes with prayer. As you pray, ask the Lord to reveal who he has made you to be and what your inheritance in him is. We must know who we are and what we possess through Christ in order to stand against every attack.

God raised Esther into a time of terrible judgment on the Jewish people. Esther’s voice, initially silenced by fear, resonated as a powerful force for change after she turned to God for guidance. As a result, an entire nation, the nation from which Christ would be born, was saved from total annihilation.

Your voice has great power when you proclaim God’s Word on the earth. We can either use this power to spread lies or to speak truth. Just like Esther, your voice can speak life, challenge injustice, and inspire real and lasting change.

Esther’s initial hesitation is understandable; fear can shroud our voices. But as believers, we are called to break the chains of silence and speak up for righteousness. God has entrusted you with a voice not only for personal expression but also to advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves (Proverbs 31:8–9). Your voice can be a catalyst that unlocks divine transformation—the Enemy’s worst nightmare.

You may encounter resistance, uncertainties, or even persecution, but your assurance lies in trusting God’s providence. As you raise your royal roar for justice and righteousness, trust that God is orchestrating the outcome. When you use your voice, you will inspire and empower others to do the same.

Father, in the name of Jesus, I am ready to embrace the transformative power of using my voice—a royal roar echoing justice, righteousness, and God’s purposes. Esther’s courageous voice altered the course of a nation, and likewise, my voice holds the potential to impact the world around me. As I speak life, truth, and justice, my voice resonates with the heart of God, bringing about transformative change for such a time as this. Amen.

I have the power to change my life, family, community, nation, and world. I just have to open my mouth and use my voice as the Holy Spirit leads.
