Voice Death

Aug 19

“While my voice was taken, a praise was birthed from the deep recesses. MY VOICE DIED. God’s voice rose within me.”
- Kara Palmer

They say, “Teach from what you know.” I know this. Had I not suffered immensely, I would not know God deeply.

Over the next few months and years, I will work to share the revelation of God that came to me through the pain. In my suffering, I lost a lot. I lost my friends, my confidence, my money, my identity, my power, my community. What I am comfortable sharing today is that I also lost my voice. When you lose the ability to speak, whether consciously or unconsciously, an internal death occurs.

While my voice was taken, a praise was birthed from the deep recesses. MY VOICE DIED. God’s voice rose within me.

“He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD.” - Psalm 40:3

Do you know what it is like to lose yourself so much that a completely new person is created? This happened to me. It wasn’t instantaneous or quick. It took a decade. God allowed me to be stripped down to nothing, not even my own voice. Then, he reconstructed me, heart, mind, soul and VOICE. If you are in a season where there is heavy pruning, flesh death, becoming bare like a new born, you my friend, I am praying for and simultaneously praising God.

He put vision in my eyes, conviction on my heart, dreams in my spirit and a voice capable of accomplishing his will. His remolding of me and you is a beautifully painful journey. On the other side, the best version of you will emerge. The potter molds his clay with the best intention and precision.

I can’t wait to see the new you. I hope you are seeing a new me. To God be the glory.

Walking GospelMade New

Kara Palmer

Kara Palmer is a founding writer for Walking Gospel Inspiration. After sharing her testimonies at a yoga retreat, one of the group leaders spoke the name “Walking Gospel” over her. This happened repeatedly as she shared stories of God’s redemptive work in her life though significant trauma and hardship. Kara loved the nickname she had been given, returned home and created an instagram account which she called “walkinggospelyoga” to document her love of yoga and Jesus.

Over the years, God revealed a movement centered around the Walking Gospel concept which Kara eventually turned into her corporation. “The path of creating Walking Gospel has been one of greatest joys and significant hardships,” she shares. “Some of the people closest to me have been tools of the enemy as they claimed I was no Walking Gospel and would not accomplish the vision I had been given. But when you have been given something to birth into the world, it must be born, regardless of the skeptics or those trying to hold you back.”

Kara is eager to inspire people in their journey of finding Jesus, deepening their relationship with Christ, enduring seasons of great trial, celebrating the goodness of God and encouraging others in their obedience and faith walk. She says, “Your relationship with God is personal. It is intimate. It is the greatest comfort and hope we have in the world. I cannot imagine going through this last decade of my life without Jesus. I look forward to sharing testimonies of desperation, redemption and revelation as I strive to walk this gospel into the world.”

Kara will begin Fuller Theological Seminary in 2021 where she will obtain her Master’s in Divinity. She is on the coaching team with Coach Micheal Burt, owns the Yoga Hive Studio, and resides in Daphne, Alabama with her children, Shiloh Rose (3) and Noah (8).
