I didn't share the entire devotional yesterday. (Enjoy reading the entire devotional instead of simply seeing a picture)

29 ….. enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. 30 Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.” Acts 4: 29-31

When in seminary and still today, I struggled to pronounce lengthy and difficult names of people and places correctly. So, I told myself if I say it with confidence people will believe me. That is partially true but on one hand it is not…what makes people believe the word of God is when it is spoken with boldness and filled with the Holy Spirit.
Speaking boldly does not mean to speak with confidence but rather to speak openly and frankly- to tell the truth. We have a Truth to tell about Jesus! We are called to be witnesses of Jesus Christ. Have you ever been called to speak boldly about Jesus Christ? Part of the mission of the Global Methodist Church is to witness boldly. What a calling that is- to share about Jesus Christ boldly! However, to speak the word of God boldly, we ought to approach God through prayer with boldness. To speak boldly we need to know Jesus Christ personally. We become filled with the Holy Spirit! Speaking and praying with boldness begins with having a relationship with Jesus Christ. To speak God’s Word with boldness, let us lean into and hear what the God is saying. Let us search the Bible for the words we can use to witness. What verse(s) can you share with someone else this week? How can you speak boldly about Christ? What has Christ done in your life that you can share with others? Let’s share all about Jesus!
Let us make our prayer this week- “Lord, enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.”

Pray Boldly, Speak Boldly, Witness Boldly

27 Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed. 28 They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen. 29 Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. 30 Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”

31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
