Lord, grant to your servants
to speak your word with all boldness. Acts 4:29
The church was just beginning.
The Holy Spirit had just come down.
Peter and John had helped a lame man walk.
And when they told how -- "in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, stand up and walk" -- they were dragged before the authorities.
Two pages after Pentecost, the persecutions had already begun. What had also begun was the prayers! "Lord, grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness."
The entire book of Acts is a testimony to human boldness ... and even more so, to Holy Spirit power.
If you don't have either boldness or Holy Spirit power, it's time to start praying this prayer. Stick it on your mirror. Tape it on your dashboard. "Lord, grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness."
In Christ's Love,
a guy who prays "more, Lord, more"
-- more Spirit, more power, more boldness
