We don't need to Figure it out for Ourselves, Let the Holy Spirit Speak!

There is a teaching that says we must be careful how we say things so that people will receive it. There is no such verse in the Bible describing this method.

Jesus Christ spoke everything perfectly and they killed Him. It's not about figuring out how to say something in our flesh, it's about being led by the Holy Spirit. We are not called to have results we are called only to obey.

2 Samuel 23:2

“The Spirit of the Lord spoke by me,

And His word was on my tongue."

Mark 13:11

Verse Concepts

When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit.

Acts 6:10

"But they were unable to cope with the wisdom and the Spirit with which he was speaking."

Just because we speak something with the desire that someone will trust in Christ is no guarantee that the person will receive it.

God said in the last days people will not listen, for the most part, in fact, it is only a remnant who will listen and receive.

2 Timothy 4:2-4 "…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.…"

Obedience is far more important than results. The results belong to God alone.

1 Corinthians 3:6-9

New American Standard Bible

6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. 7 So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. 8 Now the one who plants and the one who waters are one; but each will receive his own [a]reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s [b]field, God’s building.

Those who worry about how to say something often never speak out of fear they will not do it right. They are depending on their fleshly divides instead of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 10:19-20 "19 But when they hand you over, do not worry about how to respond or what to say. In that hour you will be given what to say. 20 For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.…"
