It used to be that was very shy to speak to people especially regarding God’s Word. This became a problem since God wanted to use me to tell people about Him. I would get all frustrated and fear would grip me every time the Lord told me to convey a message from Him to someone.
The devil saw an open door and used it. I could no longer hear the voice of God clearly. Instead, confusion took over. Voices that were trying to imitate God’s voice filled my head.
Earlier today I was on my way to my sister’s. A woman was walking opposite the street and a voice told me to go and tell her about God. I didn’t take the voice seriously, and in a few seconds I felt sick. Not knowing what to do, I heard this woman calling me. I waited for her, and she asked me if I knew of a doctor nearby.
I said yes and asked her if she was sick. She said no and afterwards said it’s only her stomach. I told her to trust the Lord. She said, not always. I said always! She told me that I make her feel better. I told her she should serve the Lord and that she should think about what I said. When I got home later, the Lord told me that I should take up my cross and follow Him. I intend to do just that.
the Lord has given you a spirit of courage and of love and of self control….:-)
He is the author of peace and not of confusion…He will guide you when to speak…just ask the Holy Spirit to embolden you and when…
Don’t let Satan try to weigh you down with guilt….once you have Jesus and His blood, there is no condemnation…
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, Romans 8:1
when wrong voices and thoughts trouble you, Quote the scripture that “I demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and I take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”2 corinthians 10:5
Zoe, I am too very timid to walk up to others and proclaim the Gospel. But the Lord very gently shows me and prompts me and I find myself talking to people who will appreciate and value it. DONT think He is a punishing God, in Jesus He sees us as Him, so DONT let anything try to put you down.
See in people that they need this wonderful treasure that we have in Christ.
Pray over this to the Holy Spirit and He will open the solution to you.
Hope this will help you. Indeed, if the Lord speaks to you, you should heed His voice. You are so blessed to hear it!!Only after Moses agreed to obey did God make him an eloquent speaker. Before that he was a stammerer!
Dont WORRY….REJOICE in HIS PROVISION…OUR LORD JEHOVAH JEIRAH!
Persecution is an obvious part of spreading the Gospel….but all you can be glad for is that u did your part of spreading the word and praying for people. Prayer can work miracles for everyone in this world
