Moses Syndrome

Friday night as we were out witnessing, we got into a discussion with a man named Albert. "I have had a rough life, I mean a really rough life." "I am angry at God, why did He have to take my father away?" These were some comments that he had made. His anger is born from a lot of hurt, first his father not being the father he had needed, and then all the hope that someday his dad would become that father, dashed when he died. As we were standing there speaking with this man, it was on my heart to tell him that it is by Christ's stripes that we are healed and instead of telling him myself, I asked my "Aaron" to speak those words to him as I had to leave.

I do not desire another Moses experience such as this, I am not eloquent in my speech, especially speaking to those I do not know or when I am in a group. But I know that the Lord puts things on my heart to share with certain people we meet and I desire to share that. By leaving it to "Aaron" to say, this could cause the statement to be taken differently? If "Aaron" has not been through anything like this, can he speak these words with the conviction needed to reach the heart of Albert?

I also feel it is a victory for our adversary when there is such fear in me to speak that I leave it for someone else.

Lord, give me confidence to carry out the work You have called me to do, to speak the words you have placed upon my heart. Remind me that I go out with Your authority.
