Speaking as the oracles of God
1 Peter 4:11 If any man speak, [let him speak] as the oracles of God; if any man minister, [let him do it] as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
There are some people who have the gift of speaking as the oracle of God. These are people who have what we can call the last word in any matter.
It doesn't matter what has been discussed in a meeting, they may be quiet all the while but the moment they open their mouth like this, in a few words the matter is closed. It's not common. Maybe you possess it but you didn't know.
Such people are so we'll respected, they can't leave a meeting without people desiring them to have a say on a matter.
Others are public figures in our christian circles. Every preacher can preach about any topic, but men have a tendency of saying, so and so said this and this about that topic and surely among all views such a view stands out. You may even think they have taken the place if Jesus or the Holy Spirit and yet it's God who has honoured them with a gift.
It's usual for preachers to say "Paul said." And you wonder why don't they say "Jesus through Paul or the Holy Spirit through Paul said." Come on Paul was a mouthpiece for God. And the Holy Spirit isn't angry at anyone using Paul's name directly instead of His. To a religious man that would be blasphemy.
Personally, your words carry weight in the realm of the spirit. You better be careful about what you speak or do because you are reference point or a great influence to others.

...Powerful. Indeed, My words carry weight, for I am God's mouthpiece. I must remain conscious of this privilege and proclaim His Word as the final authority in every matter/conversation..
