When the moment comes

“For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.”
Matthew 10:20

Jesus spoke these words to his disciples, preparing them for persecution. He warned them that they would be handed over to the authorities, misunderstood, and mocked—not for doing anything wrong, but for bearing witness to Him.

It may sound threatening, but Jesus does not leave them without comfort and help. He assures them that you won’t have to rely on your own words. When the time comes, the Holy Spirit will speak through you.

This promise was not just for students. It is for every believer who has ever felt nervous, incompetent, or unprepared to talk about Jesus. The truth is, we don’t need perfect words. We need a devoted heart.

The Spirit of God still speaks today, and it speaks through people like you. He whispers in hushed conversations over coffee. It encourages us to send thoughtful messages. He speaks through us in small moments at work, at school, or at the dinner table.
Here’s a challenge for you: don’t hold back. Don’t wait until you “feel ready.” Believe that the Spirit that lives in you will give you words.

Take a step of faith. Share your story. Tell about what Jesus did.

Someone needs to hear your voice today, not because it is perfect, but because the Spirit of the Father is willing to speak His truth through you.
