The Believers Pray for Boldness
23 When they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
24 And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said,

“Sovereign Lord,

who made the heaven

and the earth

and the sea

and everything in them,
25 who through the mouth of our father David, your servant, said by the Holy Spirit,

“‘Why did the Gentiles rage, and the peoples plot in vain?
26 The kings of the earth set themselves,

and the rulers were gathered together,

against

the Lord and

against

his Anointed’5—
27 for truly in this city

there were gathered together

against

your holy servant Jesus,

whom you anointed,

both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,
28 to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place.

29 And now,Lord,look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness,

30 while you stretch out your hand
to heal,and signsand wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”

31 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.

"look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness,"

Many times things coming across into my live and i feel like giving up preaching ore i just talk about it but not with boldness!

I learned here, from this first Christians. Even i would have the emotion of being afraid of my life, i can keep the focus of PREACHING WITH BOLDNESS. Because i can ask God to grant me to speak your word with all boldness

> Preaching

>> with boldness

Preaching in it self is more authority then just sharing

But preaching with boldness makes it even more powerful

God wants to be proclaimed with all boldness

God will give me all boldness to proclaim him

I can ask him for
