The Character of Jesus - SPOKE FROM GOD

Read Mark 13:9-13.

"And when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit." (v. 11)

Jesus modeled this all the time. He was constantly in communion with the Father asking what He should say. He said nothing that the Father had not given Him.

I need to see every opportunity to speak as an opportunity from God. I need to ask Him to give me the words and then to depend on the Holy Spirit for power in the midst of speaking.
