Whispers In The Quiet

Childlike Faith, Bold Declarations, and the God Who Answers
My Testimony:

This is a powerful testimony that holds a fundamental truth—a witness of authentic faith. It’s an unimaginable story of my own childlike faith in the powerful authority of Jesus’ name . In hopes others might see that faith like a mustard seed can move mountains.  A testament shared that others might  have eyes to see that though my words may seem unlikely, they are true. From my youth until now, this faith has given me knowledge, strength, and the hope to carry on believing with certainty in a miracle working God.

The Radio and the Prayer

When I was just 12 years old, I experienced what it meant to have faith like a mustard seed—a love that moves into action. It might sound a little silly, but one day I was trying to pray in my bedroom, and my sibling was blasting music from a radio—specifically Shout at the Devil by Black Sabbath. I asked him to turn it down so I could pray in peace. He refused and turned it up louder.

So, I spoke—out loud and boldly. I said:

“In the name of JESUS, I command this radio to turn off.”

And it did.

My brother called me a witch. But what he didn’t realize is that I didn’t speak from my own authority—I spoke in Jesus’ name. I looked at him and said simply, “No, I am a Believer.”

“Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain,
‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
(Matthew 17:20, NIV)

Intersession for my family

The key that day was not just the words I spoke—it was that my actions were lined up with the perfect will of God, in His authority and power by the name of Jesus.  I was on my knees, interceding in earnest prayer, naming every single family member name by name—asking Jesus to save them, to heal them, and to make Himself known in their lives.

Years later, when I was approximately 23, I walked into my grandmother’s house  on Tipton street after not seeing her for a long time. She looked at me and said, “Sissy, everyone in our family is saved. Everyone knows God.”

Just as those words left her lips, the Holy Spirit whispered in my ear—as He always does, calling me by name—“Spring, I answered your prayers. I answered your prayers.”

And in that moment, the Lord brought my mind back to that day when I was 12 years old—kneeling in my bedroom, praying through tears, crying out for my family. Even the radio incident came flooding back. I smiled, thinking how the angels must have chuckled at the sight of two preteen kids, one praying fervently and the other blasting music—yet in that very moment, God moved.

“The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.”
(James 5:16, NLT)

When We Line Up with His Will

It didn’t happen because of who I was—but because my heart and my actions aligned with God’s perfect will.

We as believers—made in His image and saved by grace—have been given the authority to call things into being in alignment with His will. We are His hands, His feet, His voice, and His strength on Earth. Jesus said we would do even greater things than He did.

“Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing,
and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.”
(John 14:12, NIV)

All we need is faith—even the size of a mustard seed—and a willingness to speak life into the world around us.

The Power of Our Words

Scripture says the tongue, though small, holds the power of life and death. With it, we can raise the dead, heal the sick, and set captives free. So may we be thoughtful with our words—may our mouths be bridled with temperance and self-control. May the fruit of the Spirit fill our thoughts so we might operate in a way that pleases God.

When our hearts and words align with the mind of Christ, we can and will rebuke the enemy. Demonic oppression must flee when confronted by believers who know their authority in Jesus’ name.

“The tongue has the power of life and death,
and those who love it will eat its fruit.”
(Proverbs 18:21, NIV)

This nation needs a revival of faith-filled believers who boldly wear the name of Jesus—the Creator of all life, the Giver of every good gift.

He Still Works Miracles

So I say this: do not pray for miracles, then turn around and say, “Oh, God doesn’t do that anymore.” In saying so, you rob yourself of the wonder and help He longs to give. Love, believe, speak, and act in perfect love, for love is our greatest weapon.

“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear,
because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.”
(1 John 4:18, NIV)

“Above all, love each other deeply,
because love covers over a multitude of sins.”
(1 Peter 4:8, NIV)

Even though my brother was trying to irritate me to gain my attention i knew that what i felt lead  in accomplishing by my sincere love of my family was more important than him calling me a witch—and even though we live in a world that romanticizes spiritual darkness under the banner of fantasy and entertainment—I stand firm in my identity. I am a child of God. This testimony is proof:
we, the truly converted and Spirit-filled, have full authority in Jesus’ name to rebuke the devil and resist every evil force that comes against us.

Yes, we are weak—but that’s where His strength shines. It’s in those pure, faith-filled moments that mountains of doubt are moved—not only in our lives, but in the lives of those who witness our walk.

May this testimony stir your faith, help you to hear the whispered promptings of God. To walk in His Perfect will , and further remind you of your authority in the name of our Lord, and rekindle your boldness in Christ Jesus.

From my quiet heart to yours, may you hear His whisper…
