Allow the Holy Spirit to Speak

Scripture: Mark 13:[11] Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

Observation: I have had several moments in my life where the Holy Spirit speaks through me and it’s wonderful. It’s like standing next to yourself listening, not knowing what you are going to say next. At that time you must forget yourself and be still as the words flow forth, being in submission to God.

Application: Allow myself to get in the situation where the Holy Spirit can speak through me. Be bold in those situations and not be focused on my abilities but on what God wants to do.

Prayer: Dear Lord please work through me. Empty me of any pride that might prevent me being used by you. Take charge of this servant and guide me to fulfill the purpose you have created me for.
