When God Says, “I’ll Speak Through You” — Even If You Feel Unqualified

🗓️ Week 3 – Thursday (July 17)



When God Says, “I’ll Speak Through You” — Even If You Feel Unqualified

(Based on Exodus 6:28–7:7)

Moses had already tried to quit.
Multiple times.

He wasn’t eloquent. He was discouraged. And the people weren’t exactly cheering him on.

So now, when God repeats the command — “Go to Pharaoh again” — Moses offers one more objection:

“Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?” — Exodus 6:30, KJBPNV

That phrase — uncircumcised lips — speaks of unworthiness, fear, and insecurity.
Moses didn’t think his voice could carry the weight of divine truth.

But God had other plans.

🗣️ You Will Be “Like God”

God responds with something shocking:

“See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.” — Exodus 7:1, KJBPNV

Whoa.
God wasn’t saying Moses was divine — but that in this mission, Moses would serve as God’s representative, His authority figure, His mouthpiece.

Aaron would echo Moses’ words to Pharaoh — just as prophets echo God’s words to people.

📖 This Is What a Prophet Does

A prophet is a spokesperson for Elohim.
They don’t invent truth — they deliver it.

Like Aaron, like Moses, like you and me when we share Scripture and reflect God's character, we speak for God in a world that often doesn’t want to listen.

🧠 But What If I’m Not Qualified?

That’s the point.

Moses wasn’t eloquent. Jeremiah thought he was too young.
Gideon was afraid. Jonah ran away. Paul had a thorn. Peter had a temper.

God doesn’t choose based on résumé.
He chooses based on willingness.

Even after all his objections, Moses ran out of excuses.
He went — and God used him powerfully.

💬 What About You?

  • Is there something God’s calling you to do — but you’ve been resisting because you feel unqualified?

  • Are you worried your words, your story, your witness won’t be enough?

  • Do you feel like your voice is “uncircumcised” — not holy, not ready, not strong?

Then you’re in the perfect place for God to use you.

💭 Reflection Questions:

  • What excuses do I use to delay or avoid God's call?

  • Have I confused my limitations with God’s inability?

  • Am I willing to speak — and let God empower the message?

✨ Key Truth:

If God called you, He’s already prepared a way.
You don’t need the perfect words — just a willing heart.

“And the Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh…” — Exodus 7:5, KJBPNV

Used from the official Sabbath School Bible Study Guide, 3rd Quarter 2025. A Transformed Mind: From Gang Life to God’s Work As told by Andrew McChesney, Adventist Mission Mitch was a tough gang member in Washington state. But a violent brawl left him with a traumatic brain injury so serious that doctors said, “You’ll never work again.” But someone believed otherwise. His younger brother, Stephan , invited him to the All Nations Center Seventh-day Adventist Church in Wapato, where he worshiped with their mother and sister. Mitch didn’t go willingly at first — but something happened. He kept going. Week after week. And then, he opened a Bible. 🧠 Hope in the Word Driven by the hope that Scripture could heal his damaged mind, Mitch grabbed hold of Romans 12:2 : “And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of ...

These were not random events, but targeted judgments—each one exposing the powerlessness of false gods and the ultimate authority of the Creator. 📖 Exodus 9:23 (KJBPNV) “‭And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and Yahweh sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and Yahweh rained hail upon the land of Egypt.” ☁️ The hailstorm challenged Nut , the Egyptian sky goddess, and Osiris , god of crops. The fire that mingled with the hail devastated Egypt’s food sources and declared Yahweh’s dominion over weather, life, ...

As death loomed, God gave specific instructions: mark your home with blood. The destroying angel would pass over those who obeyed in faith. 📖 Exodus 12:13 (KJBPNV) “‭And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.” God’s justice passed over them — not because they were better, but because of the blood. That’s the gospel. The lamb had to be perfect, foreshadowing the Messiah Himself. 📖 John 1:29 (KJBPNV) “‭The next day John saw Yahshua coming to him...
