BOLD as a lion ...

Bold as Lion!
"See now that I grant the spirit of boldness unto you.  For even as it was with the early church, when they stood without fear, so shall you have boldness to stand and step out, for the Lord will do signs and wonders before you in your land!"

Prophetic Scripture:
Proverbs 28:1 – The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

Like the early church, God wants us to step out with boldness concerning the gospel of power, signs and wonders!  Even when they were persecuted in Acts 4:29-31, these already bold apostles and believers prayed for more boldness!  They wanted boldness to step out in miracles.  They wanted boldness to preach in the middle of the evils of the day.  Without the presence of the Lord’s boldness coming upon you it is easy to revert into intimidation, especially when the pressure is on and the enemy is trying to stand you down.  However, be assured that we can be bold as lions about what we believe.  We can be bold that Jesus is the healer and does miracles today.  We can be bold about righteousness, because the Lord will empower us to do it.  You begin by praying for boldness, yes, but then it requires a step.  It is like the old Nike saying, “Just do it!”  Sometimes you just have to throw caution to the wind and walk out in the anointing boldly!  Quit telling yourself that you are shy or that it is not in your DNA to be a bold person.  Let the Lord help you step by step, but then run out into it and be bold for what you believe and know.  When you do, there will be miracles, signs and wonders that will follow you!  Be bold in the spirit today!

Prayer:

Father, I ask You today for an increased measure of boldness.  Teach me how to step out into bold signs, wonders, and miracles in every circumstance and every setting of resistance.  I ask that You would stretch forth Your hand of power and work through me and I take bold steps for You right now!  Thank You Lord and I receive it in the Name of Jesus, Amen!
