Exodus 4-6
Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you’?”
“This,” said the Lord, “is so that they may believe that the Lord, the God of their fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has appeared to you.
Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.”
Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.
So Moses took his wife and sons, put them on a donkey and started back to Egypt. And he took the staff of God in his hand.
Moses returned to the Lord and said, “Why, Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Is this why you sent me? Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people, and you have not rescued your people at all.”
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh: Because of my mighty hand he will let them go; because of my mighty hand he will drive them out of his country.”
Moses reported this to the Israelites, but they did not listen to him because of their discouragement and harsh labor.
But Moses said to the Lord, “Since I speak with faltering lips, why would Pharaoh listen to me?”
Why?
Yes, we are speaking with faltering lips. Why would others listen to us? Because the Mighty God can make it. It is not we who preach the Gospel, but it is the Lord who changes the minds of human beings.
How?
Do my job and preach the Gospel to others, the Lord can change the heart of others.
