B is for Bold

-

 


Being a strong Christian means taking a fearless stand.  It’s not for cowards who are afraid of their own shadow.  We must face our fears with a holy boldness unctioned by the leading of the Holy Spirit. 

Have you ever felt compelled by the Holy Spirit to make a wrong right?  Maybe Jesus told you to do something that takes boldness.  The enemy, That ole snake, knows what your afraid of and he taunts you to not go through with what God has spoken to your heart.  He brings out all his artillery to get you to stop you in your tracks to keep you from forging ahead. 

Taking risks is all a part of being a Christian. A big majority of the time we must do the hard things.  Being a strong Christian is not taking the easy street. 

Taking the narrow way takes courage and fearlessness.   

Sometimes we have to take a leap of blind faith that takes leaning all of our weight upon him. For he will never fail you nor abandon you.  You can trust him with all your heart and soul. 

…And when they prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.  Acts 4:31


Dear Jesus, fill us with your Holy Spirit that we may speak your word with courage and boldness.   That we will speak your truth with courage by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

BE SET FREE from NEGATIVITY!!!

I always see a flower before it blooms.                               Richard T Hicks 2020 I was not always like that.  Why and exactly how in the world did my perspective change over the years? I used to be completely opposite.  I was a Norman Negative and Pessimistic Peter. You name it, I was it. I seen the glass half empty never half full. I was a constant worrier about the future and lived in the past. It was as if everyday was a drudgery.   All I could see before me as all my mistakes I had made in my life. All I seen in the mirror was one big mistake. It is as if I lived mistake after mistake. I felt like a scratched up record that could not be fixed.   Before I fell asleep at night not only did my mind replay the negative from that day but it was like it domino'ed a past of bad negative choices I had made in life surfaced....  I wanted to die but was afraid to...  It would keep me up for hours tormenting my mind..... I don't really think I am the only

Dear Jesus I just want to take the time to say I appreciated all you have done for me through your sacrificial death on that dark and cruel cross.   You didn’t have to do it… but you did.   It makes me sad that you had to die to make this all possible…but you did it without hesitation.  All my love and life I owe to You… Thank you ABBA for your grace and mercy poured out upon all people on this earth.   Draw them and give them a revelation of your divine glory.  For you gave your only son.   I am so grateful to you for redeeming me so I wouldn’t have to die.   For Jesus has already been on that cross and already experienced my destruction in the grave.  He already died once for all creation.   For in Adam we have died already, but through Christ we have been made alive through that glorious resurrection by the power of your Holy Spirit.   Yes God has already done it all through the power of His Spirit.    For He has already seated us in heavenly places in Jesus.   He has given us a hop

It’s not that Complicated

  There is nothing complicated about hell…in fact it is very easy to get there.    I can assure you it’s not one big party with lots of rock music and sex.  Who would want to actually feel hells torment without any grace, mercy or relief. I do not know about you but I do not wish to go there If you intend to take the easy street then by all means be prepared for continual weeping and gnashing of teeth and the torment of eternal fiery punishment. Hell is not a complicated choice!!  Who would want to go there?  I would never desire to go there willingly.   Jesus came to this earth he hung on that cross as a human being   He was God in the flesh. There is not  a whole lot of preaching these days about going hell…we need to hear more fiery sermons from pulpits on Sunday mornings!!! Unrepentant sinners.will all go to hell.  It’s high time we repented of all our sins, and ask God to forgive you of all sin. Sin is sin and Jesus desires us to be in the kingdom of heaven with him for all eterni
