How The Word Speaks By Itself
Are you a minister or prophet of God? And worry about how to speak or teach the word of God? Are you afraid or doubtful of what to say or do when the time comes? You need not worry, because the word of God speaks by itself through you. Refer to what Jesus said concerning those who wrongly accuse you:
19 But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; 20 for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
Matthew 10:19-20
This is true of all those who are spirit-filled. The same fact applies in all cases, whether sermon, debate, healing, worship, deliverance, teaching or discussion. The book of Jeremiah bears record that the word of God is like fire, and fire being heat always seeks to spread itself:
28 "The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream;
And he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully.
What is the chaff to the wheat?" says the LORD.
29 "Is not My word like a fire?" says the LORD,
"And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?
Jeremiah 23:28-29
St Paul testifies that the word of God reaches all hidden places:
12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow , and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
Hebrews 4:11-13
14 Therefore thus says the LORD God of hosts:
"Because you speak this word,
Behold, I will make My words in your mouth fire ,
And this people wood,
And it shall devour them.
Jeremiah 5:14
Even those who refuse to speak the word of God find themselves saying it:
9 Then I said, "I will not make mention of Him,
Nor speak anymore in His name."
But His word was in my heart like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
I was weary of holding it back,
And I could not.
Jeremiah 20:9
God confirms all these, saying,
10 "For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
Isaiah 55:10-11
