I recorded a song many years ago entitled “We Need A Word From The Lord,” by Thomas Whitfield. The lyrics to the chorus are:
“We need a word from the Lord,
A word from the Lord,
Just one word from the Lord will move all doubts
And cause the sun to shine and bring peace of mind,
Speak Lord, oh speak.”
Now more than ever before we need God to speak to us, His Church. But here’s the thing: I believe He IS speaking. I just don’t think we are listening.
But here’s what I know:
One word from God can change everything!
I believe one word from the Lord has the power to set you on the course for victory every single time. I have had many words come to me countless times that have absolutely changed my life. I know that God speaks.
I will tell you that I have never heard the audible voice of God. However, I would be quick to tell you also that I know the voice of the Good Shepherd. I know when He talks, and I also believe He does speak audibly to His children if He wants to.
Isaiah 55:11 declares:
“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”
His Word is the final authority and you can count on it!

When I first started in full-time ministry many years ago, I was going through some really challenging times.
I was behind on my bills, nothing on the calandar, and feeling like, “Lord, did I miss it? This is really not the way it’s supposed to be.” I mean I was pitiful, moaning, groaning, and having a “woe is me” kind of day. I specifically remember that I was upstairs in my bedroom, ON THE FLOOR.
All of a sudden, the Lord spoke to my heart and said to me, “Judy, get up and dance!” I said to the Lord, “Lord, surely You’re not going to require me to dance? Don’t You know what I’m going through?” I mean I was sick, going through some financial stuff, missing my home, and sooooo miserable.
Then He began to speak again: “Judy, I want you to get up off that floor and began to move your feet, then open your mouth and begin to magnify Me, and stop magnifying your problems.”
Then He said something so powerful:
“Judy, you have overestimated the devil in your life, and you have UNDERESTIMATED My power in your life! I have already given you My word. As I spoke to My servant David, ‘The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholds him with His hand. I have been young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging for bread.'”
Oh, listen. I knew this was a word of the Lord.
So I got up off of that floor and began to lift my voice and dance all over my house. The very next day, breakthrough after breakthrough began to happen. There were checks in the mail; my body lined up with the Word of the Lord concerning my healing; and everything changed.

I’m telling you: ONE WORD will change EVERYTHING!
The enemies lies and shouts, “This is the way it will always be; I’ve got you now! Where is your God? If you belong to God, why is He treating you like this?” He will spew out all kinds of lies to get you to doubt God and doubt God’s Word over you.
But if you will do as the Prophet was commanded to do and “Set your face like flint” (Isaiah 50:7), maintain your stand, and do as God commands: “Put Me in remembrance of My Word” (Isaiah 43:26), you will see the faithfulness of the Father. Worship Him with every fiber of your being because worship is always the key.
Then, you will experience the chains beginning to fall off.
His Word will begin to manifest in your life, and you will see fruit from your pain.
My friend, receive the word of the Lord today. Find a quiet place, an alone time, seek the face of God, and wait for Him. He’ll come through every single time!

I find it difficult to praise the Lord when going through a hard time. Im faced with a lot of delays in my life and could use a breakthrough, however I thank you Judy for sharing this message, if God pulled through for you he will do it for me too, he is an unchanging faithful God.
God bless you
He will do it! Praise is the KEY!!!!
I agree with Sandra. I too find it difficult sometimes to keep my faith. I believe and trust in God and Lord Jesus and believe in the words in the chapter of the divine mercy when i pray “in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with
great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will,
which is Love and Mercy itself.” However I would like God to show me, give me a physical sign that He is on my side that He does hear me and Grant me His help. Have mercy on me Lord for offending You when I say for once I would like proof. I praise God our Father almighty everyday. For everything. But I need to believe and not lose faith. I need some proof that God is working on my side for me against the devil. I pray I yell I cry I scream I beg for help. I ask for mercy everyday. I praise the Lord everyday. I am grateful. I just need His proof to show me He hears and answers me FOR ONCE. Pray. Keep praying. I have to believe He heard me. I have to be patience. Lots of love to everyone as we are all in the same sort of boat who come to this site searching for help. May God bear us and help us all. XO
oh what an awesome God we serve. When came into my office this morning I just felt an urge to just praised Him today have been doing that all day till you give me this word. I want to test the Lord today with Malachi 3:10. I believe He has already prepare my table just waiting on the invite to go in and dine with Him. Hallelujah! Amen!
I literally prayed last night for one word from the good Lord concerning my break through and your post shows up on my phone. I don’t know what to think.
Those who rise up against me shall fall for my sake.They come at me in one way and are fleeing in seven ways.All the works of my hands are blessed.I take ground where my feet tread.No eye has seen no ear has heard what my God prepared for me cos I love Him.All things work out for my good cos I love God.Pay the labourer her wages.What I worked for I harvest.No foreign god can stand against my God.Nothing can thwart Gods plans for me.My life is in his hands.I am triumphing in everything through Christ Jesus.There’s a table prepared for me in the presence of my enemies.Speak Lord Your servant listens and hears.When Yo speak a NOW word they all scatter.You are a discerner of the heart and falseness cannot stand in your presence.Your spirit is upon me.You turn curses into my blessings.My portion no one can touch.You set me High above.You anoint my head with oil.Liars are an abomination I Your eyes.Riches accrued by the wicked is gone the next day.Do my prophets no harm.See my deliverance.After I’ve done all I stand.I walk by the spirit in all truth.I have overcome by Your testimony and Your Blood.YourGlory shines through me.Your resurrection Power saves me.My household and descendants are saved by Your mighty hand Lord.You restore.In You I have my Being.Wonderful wonderful Jesus.Your voice thunders and they scatter.Every tear You dry from my eyes.You heal wounds You bind up the brokenhearted.
Hi Pastor Judy
Its quite interesting for me to read this because in the last three days I have been begging the Lord to speak to him. I’ve been telling God how amazing it would be to audibly hear his voice. DOES this happen. I struggle picking out his voice and I long for this. Been going through hard times but he is working in amazing ways.. God has spoken to me through people like your blogs.. actually like this one you just posted. GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU.
Surely He will do it because He says He will never leave us not forsake us, His hands are not short to hold us, His ears are not closed that He cannot hear, He is not man that He should lie, His word is yes! and He is I AM!
Praise is realy powerful! It was helping me greatly when I felt fear 🙂
Grace and deliverance
Its amazing to me how God will confirm His word He is speaking over me and TO me through your prophetic blog. I’m truly experiencing the amazing love and miracles of God in my life. Just THIS MORNING, God put this very same song in my spirit, and I downloaded it to listen. When I got to work and before I went on my duty post, I read your message. My mind was blown to see you say the very same thing and share the very SAME song. Truly, all I needed from Him was his WORD! I’m rejoicing in His love! HE IS AMAZING!!!
It’s amazing how the spirit is working, the minute when i entered my office i just felt to worship the Lord today and boom your mail came through telling me to do the same. I am testing the Lord today on Malachi 3:10 “test me in this” says the Lord Almighty and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessings that you will not have room enough for it”. If God can come through for you , He can do it for me certainly. AMEN
I am standing on God’s word for healing of my leg vein. Father manifest your healing power as I praise you. Amen
I.want o be debt free financial breakthrough ! Cheques.to come.in., In.Jesus Name
I never want to overestimate the enemy’s power! God is MORE powerful than satan has in his pinky toe! I know with God ALL things are possible! His timing is perfect, but my patience wears thin at times. I definitely need a healing breakthrough. Please agree with me that this breakthrough will be released in my favor soon! I trust my Jesus, that what He says will come to pass. Thanks pastor Judy! You’re the best!
