Ordained to Silence and Still The Avenger by Deborah Waldron Fry

I saw a crowd of Believers shouting and cheering and clapping their hands. The joy of the Lord was evident on their faces. Then the sound of the clapping of their hands suddenly turned into the sound of weapons being fired.

The picture changed into that of a mighty army with rifles in their hands, shooting down their enemy. "Beloved. Your praise is a weapon. Your praise has been ordained to SILENCE and STILL the avenger. The enemy comes to steal your thanksgiving, worship, and praise. When he steals your praise, he disarms you of a precious weapon, My Child. Praise agrees with My unchanging nature and disagrees with the lies of the enemy.

When praise and My Word are in your mouth, My two edged Sword is in your hand. I am appointing this day, singers and praisers and worshipers to go before My mighty end time army. No more sighs of defeat, Beloved. No more tears of frustration and fear. I am calling you to be on the front lines.The weapons of your warfare are not of flesh and blood, but they are mighty through your God for the pulling down of strongholds. Fear not. Arise, My Love, in MY strength and in the power of MY might. Go to the enemy and proclaim that the Lord of Hosts has sent you and that you have come in My name. Shout unto your God with the Voice of Triumph. It will be MY Voice the enemy hears thundering across the land. Surely I tell you, your enemies shall bow down and utterly fall. Return to your Stronghold, you prisoners of hope.

You shall rejoice in your inheritance with a DOUBLE portion and obtain the victory. Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. So lift your voice in joyful shouting and clap your hands, My Warrior Bride! You will go out with joy and be led forth with peace; The mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
