July 26: The Responsibility of Speaking for God
Length: 1m 30s
Train and prepare as much as you can, but make room for the Holy Spirit to do His part that only He can do. You may feel “great trembling” at that moment, but if you’ll make room for the power of God to operate, you’ll see Him work with convincing proof that is far more effective than anything.

When he said Paul “had the shakes” standing in front of the church, that struck me! I don’t usually think of Paul as I guy who gets nervous… interesting. God is continually having to remind us not to be afraid to do his will or to speak his words because we can get some caught up in how others might be react, or how doubtful we feel about whether God is really calling us, or insecure we may feel about our own abilities. I know I struggle with that. I was also reminded of Jeremiah. God always promises to show up and give us the words to say when we speak on His behalf, but we have to faithful to go to the people and open our mouths.
That is true! It reminds me of my early days in evangelism as a young Christian. Whenever I am about to share the word with people, especially, in public like in a classroom, in a bus or on the streets, my emotions are going wild with all kinds of feelings. Most of it being fear of rejection and lack of faith in myself but I am often reminded to put my faith in Him.
