“Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.” Acts 4:29. In this chapter Peter and John were in trouble over preaching the name of Christ. When they got back to their fellow believers they started praying with them. This was part of that prayer. This should also be part of our prayer today. We need the Armor of God as our defense, and we need boldness from God as our offense along with the sword of the spirit. We have to be reaching out and proclaiming Christ. There will be many times that you have to make the first move. It can be easier when someone else starts the conversation, but there will come a time when you will have to make the first move and you will know it because you can feel the Holy Spirit tugging on your insides to speak up. It will not always be easy, but all you have to do is remember to follow the lead of the Holy Spirit. Remember that Jesus is always with you and that God is holding you in the palm of His hand. You’re covered all the way around so just go ahead and follow what God tells you. He will not lead you astray, rather He will make your paths straight. Follow Him and have faith in Him. God Bless!
