Mark 13:11 - Additional Comments

Whenever we minister, counsel, or teach, we trust that it is the Holy Spirit speaking, not we ourselves. Before we arrive in one of these situations, we must ask God and trust Him that it will be the Spirit speaking (Matt 10:20).
It is interesting that Jesus tells us not to worry ahead of time or plan ahead of time exactly what to say, for He will give us the words.
