Acts 2:4
4 “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
The Ten Utterances can be found in Bible scriptures.

Judges 5:4
The voice of the Lord’s salvation is uttered forth. Has there been some increase in your love for Him? Your loyalty to Him, has it become pure? The knowledge of His Word, has it deepened? How much of your inside is occupied by His Spirit?
RHEMA – “In Greek it literally means an utterance or thing said. It is a word that signifies the action of utterance.”
“The utterances of God emanate from His life and nature. Whenever God utters something and a message emerges from Him, whether or not that message is heard by another creature or written down or spoken again, the utterance of God remains the eternal utterance of God. The motives and intent of God remain the motives and intent of God. God does not speak idly or haphazardly. He does not speak in error or partial knowledge. He does not forget what He has spoken. Everything God speaks is fully informed from everlasting to everlasting, and accompanied by the will and power to accomplish His desire. He does not fail to communicate. Everything that the living God speaks is the living and active word of God.”
We have all done, thought or said bad things, which the Bible calls “sin.”
Does jealousy exist among you? Why are all of the animals dying? What will be the judgment of a world that rejects the Lord and embraces the Dragon, Beast, and False Prophet?
We must get spiritually ready and pray for forgiveness and the healing of our land. It is time for revival. The Holy Bible is full of examples of heroes. The world seems to place hope in heroes of myth and legend. Things men create, that exhibit feats of incredible strength, fighting prowess, and cunning, are looked upon as revered.
“What has happened to Christianity? How far have we fallen? The Laodicean “Age of Apostasy” has been degenerating the Church for almost 120 years. We have reached the same point as the days of Noah, leading up to the Flood.”
Jesus emphasizes their “lukewarm,” apathetic nature three times.
As a result of ambivalence to spiritual things, God is separated from man. With apathy comes spiritual blindness. The boastful claim to be rich, blessed and self-sufficient. Although rich in material things, Laodiceans were in a shameful, pathetic condition, made even worse because they could not see their need. A place filled with self-deceived hypocrites.
His rebuke is not born of animosity but of love. The day is upon us for God’s rebuke of a sinful world that has lost its way. The Book of Revelation uses metaphors to reveal the fate of two “women”, the Bride of Christ and Babylon the Great.
