I'm still not following you. If the Word of God is the Bible, and we are all commanded to share the Gospel, which is also the Word of God, what does 'thus saith the Lord' have to do with anything, especially considering that wordspeak came about in the 17th century?
But let's say giving forth a 'thus saith the Lord' is something that comes with giving a Word from God. I'm not sure why you seem to think expounding on scripture is different, considering that scripture is the very Word of God.
