Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 10:20

"For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you." — Matthew 10:20 (ASV)

For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

Oh! That is grand — when a man has so communed with God that the very Spirit of the Father has entered into him. Then there will be a wondrous power about his speech; men may not understand from where it came, but they will be obliged to feel its force.

All along, men of God are simply instruments for God. Our Lord Jesus claimed to speak, not of Himself, but from the Father; and to this He conforms His faithful witnesses. They speak, and yet they do not speak. God is silent, and yet He speaks through them.
