Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13
O what joy to know that the only qualification needed to be a testimony for God is a touch by Jesus. Peter and John were simply touched by God. They were not schooled or trained in what they should say or do, they were taught by God’s own Spirit. It is the power of God that transforms and makes new. There is no seminary, no college, no school that prepares or qualifies a believer to be used by God. When I speak and minister, I feel the anointing of God pierce darkness and war against the powers of hell. It is Him in me that is being poured out, not myself.
In these times that we are living, God is looking for mouth pieces to utilize for His glory. We need to be freed from pride and fear so that we can speak the oracles of God in boldness. It could be in front of hundreds or thousands of people or it could be one on one. Whatever it is, make yourself available to be used by the King of all kings to glorify our heavenly Father.
Do not allow the enemy to belittle or persuade you by saying that you may not have what it takes to minister or teach. You have everything you need if you have the Holy Spirit. Take a step of faith and start to let out of you what God has placed on the inside of you, His Spirit!
