And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel.
(Ephesians 6:19)
Evangelism in itself produces boldness. Each time you open your mouth to share the Word, your confidence in God’s power increases. Boldness grows through use, not discussion. As you preach the gospel, authority is strengthened within you.
While not everyone you speak to may immediately respond, the wisdom of God teaches us the way to connect people to the vision so that they are secured and established. Your lifestyle continually communicates the gospel, even before your words do. Yet words must follow—because faith responds to proclamation.
Boldness is required not only to speak but also to command. The same boldness that declares the gospel is the boldness that maintains peace, enforces authority, and preserves the miracles of God in your life. When boldness is neglected, what God has given can be lost.
Make a conscious decision to act boldly this year. Speak boldly. Command boldly. Say yes to what God has entrusted to you. Step forward with confidence, knowing that God has already empowered you to advance His Kingdom.
Prayer:
Precious Father, I thank You for the boldness You have placed within me by the Holy Spirit. I preach the gospel confidently and act decisively for Your Kingdom. I walk in peace, authority, and power, advancing the gospel and manifesting Your life everywhere I go. I boldly say yes to Your call, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
