I say be bold as a lion. Don't just be bold, be strong in and bold in the Lord. Tactfully and clearly share the truth of the gospel message with all who will listen. Why? Cuz our time is limited here. Cuz all of us sinners need Jesus as Lord. Yes, ruling without rival and daily leading from inside of us (See John 1 - 3).
Philemon 1:8 For this reason, although I have great boldness in Christ to command you to do what is right.
Ephesians 3:11-12 This was his eternal plan, which he carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord. Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.
2 Corinthians 3:11-12 So if the old way, which has been replaced, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new, which remains forever! Since this new way gives us such confidence, we can be very bold. Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence.
2 Corinthians 3:4 We have this kind of confidence toward God through Christ.
Hebrews 10:19 And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus.
I don't always get what's going on in our crazy world these days, but I have a few friends that do much better than I do..so I ask lots of questions.
As radical Islam continues to partner with the radical left here in America, the net effect is the ultimate destruction of all that we as citizens hold dear.
These are perilous times, and we must be determined to not be silenced. Each of us will either compromise or take a stand to confront this problem.
You and I know that the majority of Islamic people living here in America are not for destroying this nation or people, but there is indeed a fringe element of Islam here that certainly does want to do that.
We hear how those Muslims of this fringe group have been radicalized. Perhaps that's not beyond happening with any person anywhere.
So why have Liberals..why has the left.. why has the Establishment DC Uniparty, why has the Deep State (and I don’t say this “L” word regarding a political party per se) been teaming up together with Islam, with Antifa, with the Marxist BLM rioters these days? Why have those with the Liberal Media, with Social Media, with Acidemia, with Hollywood tried so hard to silence Christians and Conservatives?
Do you remember when the left was even exonerating Islam via our Media, and in our schools and Social Media right after 9/11 -- “Don’t be so intolerant.” You must be less white and more diverse! America has been bad. (All nations have some history where bad things happened..I hate that.. but that doesn't make the whole nation, or their population or all their history bad. Duh!)
Why the teaming up with thugs? It's because they all have some of the same objectives. The Left wants to destroy Christianity and our US history (including statues of great Americans), and capitalism. And they also want to make sure they never lose again to us cuz they have a one world globalist agenda.
It reminds me of that old statement that “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” So now they're working together for a time against their common enemy. Us.
The Left wants to silence us believers, but we will not be silenced. We need to wake up from dozing off, and respond to the Culture with the power of the Gospel.
God is allowing the enemy of our souls to sift us in the Western world to see if we are going to be faithful, if we’re going to be chaff or wheat? You and I cannot live faithful as Christians here minus the power of the Holy Spirit, minus allowing the living Word to be Lord.
Sometimes worldly groups that say they're all against hate.. are the most hateful of them all.
We humans don't really have a skin problem we have the same problem that's human nature and that's why we need a new nature inside.
We have a boldness because Jesus lives on the inside of us and guess what He is on our side!
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Hebrews 13:6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
Paul in 1 Corinthians 16:13 says, Remain alert. Keep standing firm in your faith. Keep on being courageous and strong.
Joshua 1:9 I’ve commanded you, haven’t I? “Be strong and courageous. Don’t be fearful or discouraged, because the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Psalm 27:14 Wait on the Lord. Be courageous, and he will strengthen your heart. Wait on the Lord!
Be bold in praying for your nation and people.
Hebrews 4:16 So let us keep on coming boldly to the throne of grace, so that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
James 5:16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.
Luke 11:8-9 I tell you, if friendship is not enough to make him get up to give you the bread, your boldness will make him get up and give you whatever you need. So I tell you, ask, and God will give to you. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will open for you.
Yeah, pray that way...
Acts 4:28-29 But everything they did was determined beforehand according to your will. And now, O Lord, hear their threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word.
Ephesians 6:19-20 And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldly explain God’s mysterious plan that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles alike. I am in chains now, still preaching this message as God’s ambassador. So pray that I will keep on speaking boldly for him, as I should.
Psalm 138:3 On the day I called, You answered me; You made me bold with strength in my soul.
Share the gospel boldly...
Acts 4:31 After this prayer, the meeting place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness.
Acts 4:13 The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus.
Acts 14:2-3 Some of the Jews, however, spurned God’s message and poisoned the minds of the Gentiles against Paul and Barnabas. But the apostles stayed there a long time, preaching boldly about the grace of the Lord. And the Lord proved their message was true by giving them power to do miraculous signs and wonders.
