Something wonderful happens when you receive
the Holy Spirit; He makes you bold and courageous! If you look through the
Bible, you’ll find this trend in the lives of all those who had an encounter
with Him. Even if they were timid and unstable at the beginning, the moment the
Holy Spirit came into their lives, they became bold and courageous! To be
courageous means to be willing to undertake or seek out new and daring
enterprises. It means to step out of your “comfort zone” and do the things the
Lord wants you to do.
After the Lord Jesus ascended to heaven, all
the disciples were quietly assembled in an upper room in fear (Acts 1:13). But
when the Holy Spirit came upon them, they threw the doors open. Peter, who had
been calm and quiet, and out of fear denied Jesus before a young girl, preached
boldly and led about 3000 souls to Christ in one meeting. From that point on,
they became bold and adventurous with the gospel, healing the sick, casting out
devils and shaking up the whole land with the power of God.
There’s one thing I know for sure: if you’ve
received the Holy Spirit and you’re not bold, courageous and adventurous for
Him, chances are you’re not listening to Him! He doesn’t come into your life to
reside there quietly till you go to heaven; He makes you reach out and go
beyond the limits! He makes you an agent of change; He makes you venture out to
win for Jesus!
So reject timidity and fear in your life;
step out boldly and trust Him to do something new and exciting with your life!
