Fragrant Praise
My Testimony
 

Many people are unaware that I live with dyslexia. I never considered myself capable of teaching or writing, but through the ministry of praise and worship, I felt the Lord guiding me to use my voice. Despite not having a singing voice or playing an instrument, as a born-again Christian, I sensed His call to speak. I initially resisted, thinking that what I had to say was inadequate.

Having been in ministry for over 30 years, I faced many questions and doubts early in my journey. In short, the Lord used the ministry of praise and worship to help me understand the language of the Holy Spirit. This ministry taught me the importance of speaking with intention and having a focused gaze on Him.

This experience deepened my understanding of His words, "You are the apple of my eye," revealing His path to me. Ephesians reminds us that our eyes should be enlightened, while Luke describes them as a lamp. Proverbs 4:25 encourages us to look directly ahead and keep our gaze fixed forward. Eventually, I realized that if my eyes are on Him, I should keep my focus on Him as well.

Dyslexia often distracts me with noise, making quiet spaces essential for concentration. Early in my walk with the Lord, He communicated with me about banners, emphasizing that they symbolize my tongue and the readiness of my heart to speak. He illustrated the banner directs my path, similar to how Moses fought his battles.

In conclusion, if He has your tongue, He has your entire being. A banner is a holy call to attention, leading us as one unified body.



May my tongue be lifted in praise, like a banner that exalts and magnifies the Lord!

What is a TONGUE but a BANNER raised leading the whole body as an ARMY!
