Word of the Lord Not Straitened

Summary

The sermon explores the meaning of the word "straightened" as used in Micah 2:7 and Luke 12:50, emphasizing that it means being in difficulty or in a bind rather than simply narrow or straight. The preacher reflects on the challenges and restrictions faced in preaching the gospel, including age, language barriers, and mental capacity, but affirms that the Spirit of the Lord is not restricted in reaching people. Biblical examples such as Jeremiah, John the Baptist, and the apostles at Pentecost illustrate that God's Spirit works beyond human limitations. The message encourages reliance on the Spirit to communicate God's word effectively despite human constraints.
