Have you ever watched boxing? In the practical sense it can cause one to wonder, what is the point of punching another person for points? But in the boxing world, it is considered a sport that exhibits strength and the stronger man wins. When working out in the gym, lifting weights or training, one can feel like they are the strongest person in the room, until they step into the ring, they will not know how strong they really are.

In boxing they have weight classes. There are light weights and there are heavy weights. People box according to their weight class or the fight is not fair. You can be a champion in the light weight class, but if the champion of a light weight class was to fight even the lowest person in the heavy weight class, they would lose, because they are in different classes.

The same is true in the Bible, Jesus said it this way in Luke 7:28 “I tell you, among those born of women none is greater than John. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” The John company is the light weight class, the kingdom company is the heavy weight class. But they are not in the same class.

This is also true with our voice. Every voice has been given authority, however, not every voice carries the same weight. Some people’s voices are light weights and others peoples voices are heavy weights. We must know what weight class our voice is in or we will engage in a fight that we are not weighty enough to win.

We increase the weight of our voice by our obedience to our trainer, who is Jesus the Christ. His voice is the only voice with all authority, so the more we obey His voice, the more weight we carry. People who obey the voice of God now and then are light weights, but those who obey the voice of God every time they hear it are heavy weights. Our obedience to His voice causes us to carry more weight, because our voice becomes one with His voice. Just a reminder, the enemy is a super lightweight, resist him and he will flee from you.
