One Sunday morning, my friend Jessica received a vision from the Holy Spirit. As she shared what she had seen, God gave me the inspiration to bring that vision to life through this painting.

​

In the vision, we stood before a demonic army, but it was as though tape had been taped over our mouths. We could not speak.

​

The Lord revealed that we needed to repent for remaining silent.

​

We had allowed intimidation and fear to convince us that we didn't know what to say. But the message was clear: now is the hour to open our mouths.

​

We must ask Him to fill our mouths with His words and give us the courage to speak.

​

We have been silent for far too long.

​

The church–the body of Christ–has not stood her ground and proclaimed the goodness of the Lord in the earth as we were called to do.

​

Battle Cry is a call to awaken, to find our voice, and to stand firmly in what God has given us to proclaim. It is a reminder that we were never called to remain silent in the face of darkness.

​

Now is the time to speak.
