It’s Him, Not You!
“Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.” Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” He said, “Certainly I will be with you. This will be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”” (Exodus 3:10-12 WEB)
When God says “I will send you,” it means that He has prepared everything you need to accomplish the task, even His miracle-working power.
Moses had fled from Egypt after accidentally killing an Egyptian soldier many years ago and was still haunted by the fear and shame of what happened back then. This traumatic event caused Moses to become self-conscious, with an inferiority complex.
When God said “I will”, Moses said “Who am I”. Moses’ focus is wrong because the ability and worthiness was never found in him, but in God.
When God sends you, it is not because you are good, but because He chooses you, and that makes you the perfect person for the job. He can transform someone who is utterly incapable to become a mighty vessel to showcase His power.
“Moses answered, “But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say, ‘Yahweh has not appeared to you.’” Yahweh said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.” He said, “Throw it on the ground.” He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses ran away from it. Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand, and take it by the tail.” He stretched out his hand, and took hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand. “That they may believe that Yahweh, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.” Yahweh said furthermore to him, “Now put your hand inside your cloak.” He put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as white as snow. He said, “Put your hand inside your cloak again.” He put his hand inside his cloak again, and when he took it out of his cloak, behold, it had turned again as his other flesh. “It will happen, if they will not believe you or listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign. It will happen, if they will not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land.”” (Exodus 4:1-9 WEB)
Moses was still self-conscious, feeling unqualified for the huge task. God gave him two supernatural signs to cause the people to believe. When God sends you to deliver a message, you are not relying on persuasive speeches and cunningly devised words, but on the power of God.
“My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” (1 Corinthians 2:4-5 WEB)
The world has no access to this power, so it has to depend on natural speaking techniques only, but God can give you favor with men, cause miracles to happen as you speak, and stir the hearts of the listeners through the Holy Spirit. Don’t rule out the supernatural.
“Moses said to Yahweh, “O Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.” Yahweh said to him, “Who made man’s mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn’t it I, Yahweh? Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak.” He said, “Oh, Lord, please send someone else.”” (Exodus 4:10-13 WEB)
Even after receiving the direct mandate from God, and two supernatural signs to convince the people with, Moses was still focused on himself and his lack of ability.
He disqualified himself based on his weaknesses, but this is because he didn’t have the New Covenant revelation that God’s power is made perfectly clear in our weaknesses.
In the very area of his weakness (mouth), God promised to be with him. When God is with you in something, it will surely prosper exceedingly and abundantly above all that you can think or imagine.
Moses was still afraid and asked God to send someone else. God was angry at his unbelief, and the anointing of speech was eventually given to Aaron (Moses’ brother) instead. Moses missed out on receiving God’s powerful grace, and settled for relying on Aaron to be his spokesman.
The apostle Paul also learned the revelation of receiving God’s strength through his own life experience.
“He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.” (2 Corinthians 12:9-10 WEB)
If you are like Moses who was slow of speech and ineloquent, or if you are weak in any other area, see that as a qualification to receive God’s great power in that area. It is precisely because you are weak that you are God’s perfect candidate for the job. When you are weak, then you are strong because the power of Christ will rest on you!
Receive God’s miracles, just like how Jesus freely dispensed miracles while He was on earth: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles

🔥 Feeling Upset? Try This Special Writing Technique
從煩悶沮喪到豁然開朗，可能只需一紙一筆
🧐 An extensive body of research shows that people who write about a traumatic experience or difficult situation in a manner that psychologists refer to as “expressive writing”—recording their deepest thoughts and feelings—often show improved mental and physical health, says James Pennebaker, a psychology professor at the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Pennebaker pioneered the scientific study of expressive writing as a coping mechanism to deal with trauma back in the 1980s.
德州大學奧斯汀分校(University of Texas at Austin)的心理學教授詹姆斯·彭內貝克(James Pennebaker)稱，心理學家所謂的「表達性寫作」指的是人們把自己的痛苦經歷或所面臨的困境寫下來，記錄下內心最深處的想法和情感。大量研究表明，那些採用表達性寫作療法的人身心健康狀況都有所改善。20世紀80年代，彭內貝克率先對錶達性寫作療法進行了科學研究，把它作為一種應對心理創傷的機制。
- Extensive: 範圍廣泛
- Trauma: 創傷
- Coping Mechanism: 應對機制
🎭 It can be a powerful coping tool for many, in large part because it helps combat the secrecy people often feel about a trauma, as well as their reluctance to face emotions. Expressive writing works because it allows you to take a painful experience, identify it as a problem and make meaning out of it, experts say. Recognizing that something is bothering you is an important first step. Translating that experience into language forces you to organize your thoughts. And creating a narrative gives you a sense of control.
對許多人而言，這仍不失為一種有力的應對工具，很大程度上是因為它能幫助人們找到心理創傷背後的真實原因以及他們不願面對的情緒。專家稱，表達性寫作療法之所以有用，是因為它讓你經歷一次痛苦，意識到問題所在，然後做一些有意義的事。首先，你要意識到某件事在困擾著你，這點很重要。在將這種經歷轉化為語言的過程中，你會迫使自己整理思路；而以筆敘事能給予你一種控制感。
- Combat:奮鬥
- Reluctance: 勉強、不願意
- Narrative: 故事、敘事
✉️ Expressive writing is a specific technique, and it’s different from just writing in a journal. People need to reflect honestly and thoughtfully on a particular trauma or challenge, and do it in short sessions—15 to 20 minutes for a minimum of three days is a good place to start. Don’t worry about spelling or grammar or share your writing with anyone. But dig deep into your thoughts and feelings. The goal of the exercise is to find meaning in an event.
表達性寫作是一種特定寫作技巧，不同於簡單的記日記。寫作者需要對某種特定的心理創傷或挑戰做出誠實細緻的思考，分成多次寫作，每次投入較短時間，剛開始最好至少連續三天、每天投入15到20分鐘時間。不要擔心拼寫或語法錯誤，也不要和任何人分享你寫的內容，但要深入挖掘自己的想法和情感，目的是為了找到某件事的意義。
-Technique: 技巧
-Reflect: 反思、思考
-Session: 泛指某一件事情或活動的期間、會議、開庭期
