Speak God’s Words

By Paula Wart, August 01, 2025

The Holy Spirit can give us things to say — like encouraging words, truth or comfort — just like a megaphone helps someone be heard more clearly.

You’ll need:

  • A sheet of construction paper (8.5 inches by 11 inches)
  • Markers, crayons or colored pencils
  • Scissors
  • Tape or glue stick
Color and Decorate

On a blank sheet of construction paper, draw or write something that reminds you that God speaks to you. Here are some ideas:

  • God talks to me!
  • "The Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say" (Luke 12:12).
  • A word or phrase the Holy Spirit might help you say, like, “Jesus loves you!”
Make a Cone (Megaphone Shape)

Roll the paper into a cone — wider on one end and narrower on the other. You can roll it crosswise or lengthwise. If part of the paper covers your art, simply cut it off. Then, tape or glue the edge in place.

Speak God’s Words

Talk into the megaphone you just made. Use kind words and Bible truths. Remember that the Holy Spirit gives you the right words to say to others.

The original printed Gleaner was first published in 1906, and has since expanded to a full magazine with a monthly circulation of more than 40,000. Through its extended online and social media presence, the Gleaner also provides valuable content and connections for interested individuals around the world.
