KNOWING AND SPEAKING
Our Father knows that words have great power to affect people's lives more than anyone else. Those who minister to His People are privileged.
Peter it clear:
"If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God.
If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ," 1 Peter 4'11.
He says speaking, ministering and doing everything else has to be in Jesus' name and for God's glory. However, there is are at least two warnings:
"So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty," James 2'12.
"My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment, James 3'1.

"We speak before God in Christ. But we do all things, beloved, for your edification,"
2 Corinthians 12'19.
