There are voice of freedom that seeks to set a man free and there are also voice of accusation that seeks to put a man in bondage. Whichever voice prevail will have the upper hand. This is one of the reason why we must pray so that the voice of freedom will prevail in our lives.
When Jesus was wrongly accused by His enemies who wanted him dead, there arose a voice of freedom that wanted him to live too. And despite Pilate’s desire to free Jesus, yet his voice was overshadowed by the voice of Jesus’ enemies who opposed him. Of course this was according to the foreknowledge of God and of Jesus himself. But there is a lesson to learn from this.
Luke 23:22-25 NLT
[22] For the third time he demanded, “Why? What crime has he committed? I have found no reason to sentence him to death. So I will have him flogged, and then I will release him.” [23] But the mob shouted louder and louder, demanding that Jesus be crucified, and their voices prevailed. [24] So Pilate sentenced Jesus to die as they demanded. [25] As they had requested, he released Barabbas, the man in prison for insurrection and murder. But he turned Jesus over to them to do as they wished.
It is not every time that we have the power or even the privilege to defend ourselves. When bidding for a project, or going for an interview, or when leading your case, you need a voice of freedom to prevail in your favor. And if no one is there to do that for you, God is surely available. This is why it is important to pray and not be silence.
