I remember sitting in counseling with a couple and things weren't going anywhere. We had spoken for over an hour at the time and I was sincerely giving up.
As I made my closing remarks to let them go, the Spirit of God quickened some simple examples and it was like a bomb detonated in the room, hope! I saw it, their faces lit up with a desire to fix this and like a formula had landed by which to do it!
Such was the power of hitting the message that had been committed to me to pass on to them. It didn't need to sound catchy or be quotable, it was the word delivered in the language and construct that God could use!
⚔️
Don't complicate the message you have been sent to deliver by trying to have "quotable quotes"
Simplicity is priceless when it comes to being an effective minister.
⚔️
You cannot effectively communicate many things if you are looking for how to make it have a particular rhythm!
The truth of God's word has a rhythm deeper than a poet's construct if delivered as inspired!
⚔️
So... Focus on the message you have been given and you will see it's power.
Sometimes, it will come like "quotable quotes" but that is not our concern. Deliver it anyway.
