You have been given a weighty responsibility, for you have been called as a priest and minister unto the Lord. You have been called and appointed to serve Him in everything that He requires of you. As Adonai's officer and ruler, you must guard and keep the word of the Lord. You must give heed to everything that the Lord Almighty says, so that you can save and protect your life, as well as the lives that cross your path.

Treasure the promises that He has given you and wait for them. Continue to celebrate before the Lord God Almighty by keeping His sabbaths and performing your vows, as you wait. Be sure to stay within the boundaries of God's words. As you gain more knowledge of Adonai and His word, you will also gain more skill, perception, discernment, understanding, and wisdom. Because of this, you will continue speaking edifying and uplifting words to your brothers and sisters. They will see that you enjoy and fully use God's word for your benefit and to benefit others. The Lord God uses your lips to snatch many from the clutches of the enemy, who wanted to destroy and consume them.

These captives, who have been set free, will seek instruction from you. They will request that you show them how to gain the security that you enjoy. Since you have studied God's word and have gained that understanding, you will be able to direct them to the laws of God that they need. As you cast out God's commands to these hungry ones and as they embrace them, you will see changes in their customs and manner of life.

The Lord Jehovah, the God of armies, has made you His messenger and His representative. He uses your mouth to wage war, for He puts His word in your mouth. When you open your lips to speak with His authority, you cleave and shatter the forces of the enemy.
