I think I see what you are saying Peggy. There was a time that I blabbed and argued all the time. I felt like I was supposed to witness, etc. I ran more people off then I care to think about!! Anyway, I noticed that there were times that I was really being used and what I was saying was getting through and eventually, I put together how that felt verses the times I got nowhere. There are times when just a casual conversation just changes. Suddenly, I just know it's not me speaking anymore, the scriptures roll right off my tongue, the atmosphere just changes and I know it's the Spirit, AND this person on the other end is dumbstruck, like you just read his mail and he is changed. Other times the conversation changed for the worse, I could hear myself saying the most hidious things as if I was listening to someone else talk. Mostly this was when I was just trying to convince someone to see something my way. Anyway, now days I don't say too much. I'd much rather wait on Him to open those doors..there is nothing better than to be used of Him.
