Tell me how would you explain talking to someone you never meet before, then all of a sudden getting filled with the Holy Spirit, and a bunch of words pop into your head. You tell the person and then they start crying, and acknowledging everything you tell them. there's no way that is a human thing, there's no way I would ever be capable of that. I never did that in 39 years of living, all of a sudden I can tell people thier lives?
This happens when the Spirit wants it to happen, not when I want it too. when you meet people, sometimes when you start to know them better, you will ask them questions like, what drives you in life, or question peoples motives
For 39 years you never asked questions of people in this way? Now you do ,they answer you honestly because you actually pay attention to them and the worries and questions that they have {which are similar to your own}and you are amazed that you can understand that you have common ground with them? How is this miraculous and not merely you finally finding the courage to ask penetrating questions about people.I have done this quite often and yes people sometimes have said as much to me about this but it is certainly not because of something other than people needing someone to listen.
We do not gain leadership so much as people give it to us.
