Priscilla Shirer: Protect Your Family in Spiritual Warfare With Strategic Prayers | Praise on TBN
The enemy may not know our thoughts, but he certainly hears what we say. That’s why when we declare God’s Word into the atmosphere, we are clothing ourselves in His promises. Speaking God’s truth is a declaration of faith—it’s a way of standing firm against the enemy, refusing to let him invade our lives unchecked. Instead of passively allowing challenges to overtake us, we choose to fight by standing on God’s promises.
Looking back just one generation, I see how the choices my grandparents made completely changed the course of our entire family. At some point, someone had to say, “Enough is enough.” Someone had to rise up and decide to follow God wholeheartedly, to live by biblical principles, and to pass that legacy down to the next generation. Every family needs that turning point—someone willing to break destructive cycles and create a new path rooted in faith.
For example, my father deeply loved me, but he never heard the words “I love you” from his own parents. So, he made a conscious decision to change that—to express love openly and create a new legacy for his children. That’s the power of making a different choice.
The incredible thing about God is that no matter what kind of background you come from, He can change everything in a single moment. Nothing is wasted in His kingdom. He can take one decision, one act of faith, and use it to transform not just an individual but an entire lineage.
Experiencing God Through Scripture
I love ministering to people from all walks of life, helping them see that Scripture is not just words on a page—it’s an encounter with a living God. From beginning to end, the Bible is an invitation to experience Him personally. It’s not just about head knowledge; through the Holy Spirit, the Word of God becomes a real and tangible part of our everyday lives. We can feel His peace, His joy, His comfort, and His presence through Scripture.
My passion is to help people see that the Bible is alive. I want them to experience God, not just in a Sunday school setting or through childhood memories, but in their quiet moments—whether sitting at the kitchen table, reflecting during the day, or seeking Him in prayer.
Reading Scripture should never feel like a task to check off a list. It’s God’s love letter to us. When we open our hearts to that truth, we don’t just read words—we meet the Author Himself.
Hearing the Voice of God
If you truly want to hear God’s voice, it starts with listening. And the primary way He speaks is through His Word. Too often, people look for signs and wonders—skywriting, visions, or supernatural signals—while neglecting the clearest form of communication He has already given us: the Bible.
The Old Testament believers longed for what we have today. They needed pillars of fire, clouds, visions, and even speaking donkeys to receive direction. But now, we have something even greater—the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. While God can still use miraculous signs, He primarily speaks through His Word.
If you want to hear from God, open your Bible. That’s where His voice is. Instead of waiting for dramatic signs, recognize that the very thing the Old Testament saints prayed for—the ongoing presence of God’s Spirit—is available to us right now.
