“Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus” Acts 4:13, NKJV.
Peter and John weren’t educated or trained, but they had been with Jesus. They hadn’t been to seminary. Yet, God used them to do what would confound the wise. The Lord used them to change the world.
Like the apostles, all you need is that you’ve been with Jesus. All you need is obedience. All you need is a call from God. All you need is for God to say speak. All you need is the Holy Ghost power of God!
The Pharisees, the religious people, loved their education more than the people whom God gave it to them to serve. They loved themselves and what they knew, rather than caring for people. The Lord is not concerned about your eloquence or if you know exactly where the scripture is.
Life savers don’t have to be pretty to save. You may not be the cleanest. You may have had some bumps and scars along the way, but you can still save. You don’t have to be educated. You just need to obey God, and He will make the difference. He will do the miraculous when you step out and let Him use you.
Tell God today it doesn’t matter if I’m educated or eloquent. Just use me.
Prayer. Father, thank You for the encouragement to let You use me. Whether I know all the books of the Bible, and haven’t memorized scripture yet. All I know is that I have been with Jesus, and I have the power of my testimony of Him in my life. All I know is I was once blind, and now I see. Give me courage in this hour, and use me to change the world, Father. In Jesus’ name. Amen!
