Acts 2:4 "Not Our Words"



            “All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.”

            When we witness, we often times put so much pressure and stress on ourselves that witnessing becomes a chore instead of our genuine desire to tell others about the person who gave His life to save each and every one of us. The truth is that we are not the ones speaking anyway, but the Holy Spirit speaking through us. Our job is to tell others about Christ, to boldly share what He has done in our lives, but He will supply us with the words. We just have to be willing to share. Yes, we might be scorned, we might be mocked, or laughed at, or spit upon. But Christ was first scorned. Christ was mocked, laughed at, and spit upon. When we trust the Holy Spirit to give us the words to say, we know when they reject what we say, they reject Christ. Our responsibility is not to force them to believe, but to plant the seed. God will help it grow, as long as we are willing to simply step out in faith and boldly share.
