““Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” 2 So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat that scroll. 3 And He said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you.” So I ate, and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness. 4 Then He said to me: “Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them. 5 For you are not sent to a people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, but to the house of Israel, 6 not to many people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, had I sent you to them, they would have listened to you. 7 But the house of Israel will not listen to you, because they will not listen to Me; for all the house of Israel are impudent and hard-hearted. 8 Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against their foreheads. 9 Like adamant stone, harder than flint, I have made your forehead; do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.”” Ezekiel 3:1-9 NKJV
Father God,
This did seem a hard thing to ask. To go and not expect anyone to listen. But then You promised to provide him with Your Words, and Your strength of character, an inner strength even hardness to be able to keep on speaking to them. It reminds me that Jesus called us to preach the gospel.
You send us out as workers into the harvest field (Matthew 9:38) but the harvest is provided and ripen by Yourself. We cannot take any of the glory and we cannot tell who will listen. Jesus spoke about the sower scattering seeds (Matthew 13:1-23. Only some fell on good soil. But only You God can read the heart. We are meant to just faithfully sow. We do not always know which seed may take years of watering to grow. And though You said aid the road is narrow and the gate small that leads to life (Matthew 7:14), we marvel today at the church that will worship in Spirit and in truth today around our nation, our world. Bless the Ezekiel’s who get knocked down, mocked and ignored but who still talk about You and Your Son and Your Spirit. Give me courage and flint!?
In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

We had this very recently but I could listen to this everyday it is so encouraging and empowering to me.
I just wanna speak the name of Jesus
Over every heart and every mind
‘Cause I know there is peace within Your presence
I speak Jesus
I just wanna speak the name of Jesus
‘Til every dark addiction starts to break
Declaring there is hope and there is freedom
I speak Jesus
‘Cause Your name is power
Your name is healing
Your name is life
Break every stronghold
Shine through the shadows
Burn like a fire
I just wanna speak the name of Jesus
Over fear and all anxiety
To every soul held captive by depression
I speak Jesus
Chorus
Shout Jesus from the mountains
Jesus in the streets
Jesus in the darkness, over every enemy
Jesus for my family
I speak the holy name
Jesus,
Repeat twice
I just wanna speak the name of Jesus
Over every heart and every mind
‘Cause I know there is peace within Your presence
I speak Jesus
