A speaker shares how feeling intellectually inadequate stopped them from speaking when they sensed God calling them. They learned that Scripture shows God using human weakness to display His power, and that success comes through Him, not personal ability.
Chapters
One of the things that used to hinder me so much from being used by God is the fact that I felt like I didn't know enough, or I wasn't as intellectual as I saw some other people were. So I would not speak as God was leading me to speak. And I find that those places in my life are places that keep me fully relying On God. It doesn't mean I don't study the Bible to show myself approved. It's just that I feel like God has always constantly, even with people in scripture, used their weaknesses to show himself mighty and strong through them, and to prove that it's only through him that you can even do it anyway. You can't do it apart from him. And I'm really grateful for my weaknesses. I boast in them because the Lord is strong in them. Yeah.
