Exodus 4.12 says, Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say. It is true that the Lord was with the mouth of Moses in a very special way whenever Moses spoke on his behalf. For example, when Moses spake to Pharaoh, his words were directly from the Lord. But when Moses went home to his first wife, Zipporah, or later to his second wife, an Ethiopian woman, and talked about dinner or things around the house, then the words that Moses spake were completely his own. And yet, even then, Moses was affected by the Lord in how he interacted with his wife and kids and family and friends and neighbors at any given time. What do I mean? Well, for example, when Moses went home after his conversation with the Lord right here in Exodus 4, he returned to Zipporah and his two sons, Gershom and Eleazar, and he spoke to his father-in-law named Jethro. Now, the words Moses spoke to Jethro are recorded for us here in Exodus 4, 18. And Moses went and returned to Jethro, his father-in-law, and said unto him, let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren, which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, go in peace. Now, this is an example of Moses speaking, but not delivering a message that was directly from the Lord. Moses didn't say to Jethro, thus saith the Lord, let Moses go and return to his brethren. But what Moses said was a direct response to his conversation with and obedience to the Lord. So when Moses said, let me go, I pray thee and return unto my brethren, which are in Egypt, His words were directed by and influenced and guided by that conversation with the Lord. And that's how it's worked for nearly all believers from Adam's own offspring, including Abel and Seth, right down to you and I today. We communicate with the Lord in prayer. We learn the will of God in the Bible, the word of God, then we go about our day and we act in accordance with what we've learned in the Bible and we speak, or at least ought to speak, words that reflect that biblical influence on our hearts and minds. A man or woman who is not spending time with the Lord in the word of the Lord, receiving God's word with faith, will not accurately discern God's will and will not speak according to his word. And that is really exactly what the Lord does with each one of us. Consider Psalm 119.11, thy word of I hid in mine heart that I might not sin against thee. But if you don't memorize God's word, then you'll be forfeiting the greatest weapon to defeat sin in your life that God's given you. Proverbs 30 verse five says, every word of God is pure. He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. But if you don't read through the entire Bible and follow teachers that teach verse by verse through each book of the Bible, then you're forfeiting God's blessing to be your shield. 2 Timothy 2.15 says, Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But if you don't study God's word, in addition to memorization and simply reading through the Bible and sitting under good teachers, not only studying, but rightly dividing his word dispensationally. And when we say his word, we mean his true word in English, the King James Bible. Then you'll be ignorant and you'll do things that give you reason to be ashamed. And we don't say these things repeatedly in order to browbeat you, but to emphasize in love that there are no alternative routes or shortcuts to spiritual growth. If you elect God, He will be your mouth and teach you what you should say as you love and learn His words. Jesus is the teacher of thy mouth. As He said in John 6, 63, it is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life. And He prayed in John 17, 17 to the Father, sanctify them through thy truth, thy word is truth. Believe His words. Learn His words. Memorize His words. And then you can live according to His word and speak according to His word while being able to pray with sincerity the words of King David in Psalm 1914. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer, Jesus, the Lord of Thy mouth.
