Luke 21:15 (NAS)
for I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute.

Luke 21:15 (Philips)
I will give you such eloquence and wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to resist or contradict it.

You have probably experienced times when you were expected to say something, but you found you had no words. Or perhaps the words you spoke were the wrong words. At those times you may have felt embarrassed and insecure. In order to save yourself, you have avoided similar situations.

However, avoidance is not the solution. Instead you should turn to the Lord, seeking His guidance and help. You know that He will give you what you need. As you wait on Him, He will put the proper words in your mouth and give you the wisdom in how to speak them.

When you face your adversaries, those who oppose you, you will speak words as sharp as a sword, which will cut and smite your foes. The power in your words will overcome those whose only purpose is to ruin and destroy. As you skillfully speak only what Yeshua gives you to say, your enemies will not be able to gainsay your speech. They will no longer be able to withstand and resist you, for your utterances will render them powerless.
