The young man I told you about the day before yesterday has certainly experienced a trauma that has kept him quiet in public since childhood. He would like to speak, but he is completely stuck and it is humanly impossible for him to speak. He does not succeed. He would like to be able, but he can not. He is slave of this link. Do you realize that you have been fully liberated, franked ? You have a glorious freedom in Jesus Christ, that of the children of God. Your role is to proclaim the Gospel around you, and for that you have to open your mouth. You will have to open your mouth. You will just have to open your mouth.
There are traumas that make us shut up. Mockery, rejection, abuse... But it is for freedom that Christ has freed you, and I declare that you are completely free to proclaim His Word. It is the perfect will of God to go through you to do it.
"The LORD said to him, Who has given a mouth to man ? Who makes dumb or deaf, able to see or blind ? Is it not I, the Lord ? (Exodus 4:11) God has the ability to make dumb, deaf or blind, but he also has the ability to make talk, hear, and see. And if God spoke so to Moses, it was certainly not for him to be silent, but for him to use the mouth he had given him. Our feet, our mouth, our heart, our lungs, our face, all this has been given to us, and should be useful to the Father.
I will always remember that sick old woman who was dying in her bed. I was about 21 years old. As I walked past his room, God made me want to talk to him. I reasoned, and I fell silent. She died a few days later. If only I had spoken ! Eternal perdition and hell are a reality. I do not want anyone to go to hell because I'm dead. I do not want blood on my hands because I refused to use the mouth that God had given me as a gift. "Who gave the man a mouth ? Is not it me ?".
