#229 I Will Help You to Speak

Greetings Alien Youth. I hope all of you are in good health and enjoying the rigors of actually going to school this week…  During the free times you have to talk with your friends, how often has the topic of God come up? I see a growing excitement and bonding with God during our times together on Sundays and Wednesdays, which it totally (in a high voice) AWE-SOME! But, does that excitement and encouragement carry over to your friends at school?...  Are the correct words hard to come up with that you think will make an impact on who you are talking to? Is that the scariest part?

When God came to Moses (Exodus 3: 4-10) and asked him to go to Egypt (your school) to bring His people (your friends), the Israelites, out of the bondage (Earthly trappings) they’ve been living in, Moses said to God, (Exodus 3:11) “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh (your school) and bring the Israelites (your friends) out of Egypt?” and God said in verse 12, “I will be with you…”

Isn’t that comforting to know that God will be with you wherever you are sent? But, what do you say? What are the best words to use to get God’s message across?”

Moses, himself had self-doubt. In Exodus 4:10 Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.” … Can you relate to the frustration Moses felt?... Listen to what God says in verses 11-12 in response; The Lord said to him (You), “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes the deaf or mute? Who gives them site or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help YOU speak and will teach YOU what to say.”

When there is an opportunity to share God’s word with a friend, get connected with God first by saying a prayer.  Ask him to guide you and to use your voice for His glory… and thank God for all that he has given you. God provided and will provide all you need.

Papa John 1:15:15
