“Now go! I will help you as you speak, and I will teach you what to say.” (Exo. 4:12 NIV)

The Holy Spirit will help you speak 

“…for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.” (Luke 12:12 NIV)

“For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.” (Matt. 10:20 NLT)

God will give you speech and wisdom

“For I will give you speech and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.” (Luke 21:15 NIV)

The Word continues to work in you who believe

“Therefore, we never stop thanking God that when you received his message from us, you didn’t think of our words as mere human ideas. You accepted what we said as the very word of God—which, of course, it is. And this word continues to work in you who believe.” (1 Thess. 2:13 NLT)

Therefore

“Then the LORD asked Moses, “Who makes a person’s mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is it not I, the LORD?” (Exo. 4:11 NLT)

“Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.” (1 Peter 4:11 NLT)

“But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.” (1 Peter 3:15:16 ESV)

“For we are not like so many others, who peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as men sent from God.” (2 Cor. 2:17)

Quote:

“Because God gave you your makeup and superintended every moment of your past, including all the hardship, pain, and struggles, He wants to use your words in a unique manner. No one else can speak through your vocal cords, and, equally important, no one else has your story.” - Charles R. Swindoll
