August 21

Running with Jesus  

 

Acts 4:29 "And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,"

 

      After Peter and John were arrested and spent the night in jail, the religious leaders wanted to have them punished but could not come up with a way to not cause a riot, so they let them go and told them

not to preach. They told the men "Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than Him?" They were released and went back and told the others what happened. Then they gathered together and prayed for boldness!

     Friends this is not far from happening in America! We need to start praying now for boldness because even as I type, courts are being pursued to challenge the Word of God and limit our preaching against sin. We are living in a pagan society and they will come after true born again Christians who cramp their life style. So we must ban together and pray for boldness for the days ahead. 

           

Father, we cry out together this morning for boldness to speak Your Word  in and out of season! We ask You to raise up men and women to uphold the law of Your Word and open the blinded eyes of those around us and help them hear and understand Your message of salvation. Help us share in the power of Your Holy Spirit! Fill us, enable us and equip us to fulfill Your plan and purpose for our lives. We pray You come quickly Lord Jesus. Until then keep us strong, steady running Your course.

 

What happened after heartfelt praying? See you tomorrow! Don't miss it!
