From Fear to Boldness


I just read the post of a person who is nearly beside themselves because they can’t testify regarding Christ.  Limited circumstances are driving them to desperation.

What an amazing disparity between the timid who will not speak, and those who are consumed with the fire to speak.

In myself I found the following to be true.  As I sat in fear, no strength was given to testify.  But the moment my trembling legs took my mouth to a certain place, strength came.  Boldness is given to those who let their faith loose.  Those who bottle it up will be given nothing but sustenance.

What’s this mean to you?  How can I know?  I know what it means to me, and to those tiny ones of Christ who rise to gargantuan proportion.

In Pursuit of Blasphemy


No one testifies of Christ because he loves to testify.  And the ones, whose motive is to testify alone, will fail and fall away.

Those who remain, testify because they are driven.  The power of Christ’s love is that compelling.  The power of the Holy Spirit gives no quarter.

They testify with vigorous soul.  They are not concerned with the popularity of their testimony.  Though no one reads their words, they are convinced that what the Lord has done will not return to Him void.

You cannot make them stop.  They themselves cannot affect a ceasing.  For the Lord has come to dwell within them.

God Himself has determined His messengers!

Oh adulteress world.  Do you really think you can suppress the word of the Living God?  Yes, you certainly do.

You think that if you attack, or ignore, His messengers that they will cease their proclamation.  You think this because you have attacked weak men.  And in your attack they have succumb.

So your folly is bolstered.  Pride fills you as if a valiant victor.  And you are spurred to legislate against Christ.  You are spurred to call His witnesses evil.

Your eyes widen with adrenaline, “I have found the way to rid myself of these noxious words!”

Pursue!
Pursue! 
There were thousands of Egyptian soldiers who did the same as you!
