Lord Jesus did not speak for Himself as I may have thought. He did not EVEN speak on His OWN authority! We are here for the father to do the works, not us.
If we are to become more like Jesus, then the scripture applies to us as well. God will put words in our mouth, if we know how to listen. Confronting people to spread to word is special, for it is not us speaking to someone, but our father. That means that we have to surrender ourselves completely! God is preparing our footsteps, so be prepared to be a vessel for Him, let yourself be available to Him to minister to other people. We cannot do anything on our own- it took me a long time to realize that all the stuff I wanted to do for God that it was my own ambition. I am like a dog on a dog team... I wanna get out there and witness, jumping up and down, tugging at the reigns. But I can do nothing until the musher says its time to go. And if I am to be a good lead dog, then the musher will tell me where to go, when to stop.
I too have been in a situation that I thought was wrong, I didn't want to participate in the activity. I didn't know how to explain why. But words came to me and I surrendered my thoughts, listened, and relayed the words- of which provided a perfect explanation of what I believed in- living in Christ without sin.
