God Is Sovereign Over Our Words

Many people are afraid that they're not going to have the right words to say. They may say something that's incorrect. They may not have the best wording when they are sharing the gospel. Here's a simple thing to remember.

This is going to blow your mind. Are you ready for this? God is sovereign. That's right. God is in control. God can use your poor wording, even your wrong wording, or anything else you may say, to lead someone to repentance.

Because God is the one that brings them to repentance. And so because of that, we have to remember, it's not something we do. It's not our wording. It's not how eloquent we are. It is all about God doing what God will do.

God Can Use Even Misspeaking in Evangelism

When I came to Christ, the gentleman who led me to Christ, Chuck, said something that was theologically not so sound. In fact, it was pretty downright insulting and offensive. See, my mother had died, and people knew that I got a little bit violent when people would speak about my mother.

And he said, what if your mother died so you'd be right here, right now, listening to this message, and you walk away? Your mother would have died in vain. Now, is that the only reason my mother died?

No. Theologically, that's incorrect. And so you look at that. Is that offensive? Absolutely. But you know what? It was exactly what I needed to hear, to turn around and talk to him, and find out what it is he wanted, that he believed about the Bible.

And that's what brought me to get to a point where I came to repentance. You never know what God can use. He can even use your misspeaking to bring others to a knowledge of Christ.
