With boldness and power

“And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.” ~ Acts 4:31

They prayed
Peter and John
and other followers
They prayed
They were all filled
with the Holy Spirit
They spoke
the word of God
with boldness
and with great power
they went out
and witnessed to many
the resurrection
of the Lord Jesus.

When we pray
when we accept
Jesus Christ as our personal
Lord and Savior
and His eternal gift
of freedom from sin
and hopelessness
of Salvation
We too are filled
with the Holy Spirit
We receive His Peace
and His Power.

They received
and we receive.

But….

What have we done
What do we do
Something holds us back

For all the Peace and Power
and Boldness
we have been given
we seem to remain fearful

We seem to believe more in what the world says
to us, than all that Jesus has said
and continues to say in His word.

Who do we really follow?
Who is our master and king?
Who do we really trust?
Who do we really follow?
