1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

There have been times where God has told us to say something to someone regarding their salvation, a lifestyle change, or encouragement but, the enemy used fear to place a muzzle over our mouths.

The enemy uses fear to make us think about what the other person may say or think about our actions. The enemy uses fear to make us think about being rejected by the person we’re ministering to. The enemy uses fear to make us think about how we will be viewed in the future. This fear prevents us from being (1) obedient to God, (2) sharing the love of Christ, and (3) being the blessing that God has called us to be.

Remember, God did not give us the spirit of fear (2 Tim. 1:7). If God prompted us to say something to someone, even if it’s a stranger, let’s be obedient and be a blessing and remove the muzzle from our mouths.
