How To Be Bold Like a Lion
Jesus is going to tell you to do bold things.
Hi Stars,
I missed you so much. If I could choose what peace means to me in this world, it would be to write to you on a beach every day.
How have you been lately? I hope you’re taking good care of yourself. Hope you're taking good care of your body too?
Lately, I have been battling with my life — just trying to round up my program and graduate from school and all. But thank God, God is always with me.
I want to share with you today how to be bold like a lion.
For a very long time, I was very afraid of the unknown, of the future, and other things. I saw something one day, it was a post. It read: "If you’re not afraid, you haven’t started the battle." I’m paraphrasing now, but you get my point. What that statement is trying to say is: it’s okay to be afraid. Fear can come, but what do you do with it? You go boldly even in the midst of fear.
Scripture tells us: “Don’t ever be afraid or discouraged, be strong and courageous, for the Lord is going to do this to all of your enemies.” – Joshua 10:25
This is why Scripture always reminds us that we shouldn’t be afraid, because He knows that fear will come. But you should remember that He is with you, and He is on your side.
Boldness is required if you must face the adversary. You must understand your authority as a child of God.
Remember, Scripture tells us: “The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions.” – Proverbs 28:1 As a follower of Jesus, you need to be as bold as a lion because Jesus is going to tell you to do bold things.
The question I have for you is: Are you willing to be bold enough to pray for boldness? Not for an easy or comfortable or healthy or admired life, but for a life of witness?
Look at this scripture: “And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness”… and when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.” – Acts 4:29, 31 (ESV)
The Lord will give you boldness to do His work most especially. So, will you daily make the prayer of the early church your own, asking that by God’s Spirit, you would be filled and emboldened to share His gospel, whatever the cost, with a world that is desperate for truth?
How to be bold like a lion:
To be bold like a lion, you need to stand firm in your faith, acting with courage and conviction, particularly when facing challenges or opposition. – 1 Corinthians 16:13
You must have an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit and live a life of holiness. – Luke 1:75, 1 Peter 1:15
Be confident in your righteousness through Christ. Remember that your boldness is not based on your own strength but on your relationship with Jesus. – Romans 8:14
Obey the instructions of God, read His Word, and live by it. – Psalm 33:11
Continually pray in tongues for boldness. – Acts 4:29, 31
Live a purposeful life and continually seek God’s guidance and direction for your life. – Psalm 69:32, Psalm 27:8, Luke 12:31
God’s got you, always.
Will continue to love and pray for you,
