Are we bold in the Lord, if so, where do we get our boldness from?

We as believers and followers of our Lord Jesus Christ, are to be bold.  It is not our natural boldness, it is the boldness of the Holy Spirit within us.

I recently heard a person on Christian TV say, that they just don't have boldness to witness to someone, that God has only called them to teach. Wrong!

We are all called to witness about our Lord, whenever the Holy Spirit points out a person to us.
For us to say we just can't do that, something is amiss.  There is growth needed in that area. You can at least sow the seeds of life into someone's  heart.

 According to the word of God, we all have the boldness of Christ, that is one thing we did receive, when we received Jesus.

Ephesians 3: 8-13 (Paul speaking)
To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ Jesus, and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ, to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him.

Proverbs 28:1
The wicked flee when no one pursues, But the righteous are bold as a lion.

Philippians 1:14 (Paul speaking while in prison)
and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

Beloved, you have great boldness in you, the Holy Spirit will manifest that boldness whenever it is needed. Don't ever allow fear to stop you from witnessing about the love of God and His forgiveness, mercy and grace.
People need to know Jesus loves them no matter what they have ever done.

We have so much in the Lord, and yet so many are not using what God has placed in them.
I believe, it is from lack of being in the word of God.  That is where we will find out what we have as joint heirs with Jesus.

Jesus told us, greater works we will do because He goes to the Father.

Its time the church rises up and walks in their inheritance, when we have, grace, boldness, gifts to meet every need, fruit that will draw people to Jesus, we need to use those things.

Jesus is not a religion that we attend at a couple times a week, He is Lord, He is God the Son, We are to have a relationship with Him,  and we do have that, if we will apply ourselves to it.

Beloved, be bold as a lion, time is short and we need to reach all we can for the Lord and His kingdom.

Don't say, that is not your personality, because it is the Holy Spirit personality in you. All you have to do is yield to the Lord, open your mouth and God will fill it. Be Bold!

God Bless your day
Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...
