THE SWEET INFLUENCES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON YOUR LEVEL OF BOLDNESS.

THE SWEET INFLUENCES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON YOUR LEVEL OF BOLDNESS.
Scripture: Acts 4:31.
Topic: The Sweet Influences of The Holy Spirit on your Level of Boldness. 

And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST, AND THEY SPAKE THE WORD OF GOD WITH BOLDNESS.”
Acts 4:31

One of the most amazing effects of the influence of the Holy Spirit will be the dramatic change in your level of boldness. Frightened, timid and disillusioned apostles hiding in a room were transformed instantly into a bold and fearless team of preachers. They seemed to have no fears any more. They suddenly seemed to know how to give speeches in public. They faced up to the murderers of Christ boldly and preached confrontational sermons! You can contrast this with Peter’s vehement denial of Christ a few days before. What caused such drastic changes? The Holy Spirit! You need the Holy Spirit to grow in boldness in the ministry. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance . . . 

"Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day."
Acts 2:4,14-15

Peter was emboldened by the influence of the Holy Spirit. All the apostles were emboldened and empowered by the influence of the Holy Spirit. Boldness is a key to the anointing. Boldness is a key to the presence of God.

 “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” 
Hebrews 4:16

You will receive boldness for your ministry when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. Without boldness you cannot minister healing, miracles, signs and wonders. You need boldness to call out miracles. You need boldness to minister the Spirit. You need boldness to take certain steps that will bring down the presence of God. It is the sweet influence of the Holy Spirit that makes you bolder and bolder. Under the Holy Spirit, you will become even more emboldened to minister power to all the hungry people of the world. Without boldness you cannot step into the Holy of Holies and into the presence of the anointing. The Word of God tells us to come boldly into His presence. Without boldness you are missing a major key to the presence of God.

REASONS WHY YOU MUST REDEEM THE TIME - PART 4

Scripture: Psalm 90:9-12 Topic: You must redeem the time because that is the only wise thing to do with your life. Unfortunately, many people do not treat time and opportunity as a special commodity. Time is something rare and precious, which God gives to all of us. It is the only thing you cannot regain or get back. When it is gone, it is gone forever. God’s admonition to us is to use the time we have on earth to do as much for Him as possible. We must work while it is day. The only wise thing to do with your life is to redeem the time for the work of the Lord. "For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts un...

THE POWER OF BEING THANKFUL - PART 6

Scripture : Romans 1:21 Topic : Unthankfulness in a person is a door to many evils.  "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, NEITHER WERE THANKFUL; BUT BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS, AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED..."  Romans 1:21 The scripture above shows us clearly that many of the evils and perversions in this world came through unthankfulness. When men discovered more about the creation and discovered the beautiful earth that God had made, they were not thankful.  When they discovered planets, when they discovered the moon and when they discovered the stars, they were not thankful to God. And because they were unthankful, they became vain in their imaginations. Your imaginations become more vain, the more unthankful you are.  When people are unthankful they become almost mad. Their unthankfulness is a form of insanity. Why would you not be grateful for the oxygen you breathe, the air you breathe, the water you drink, the life t...

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.  Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17.  Topic: Why Prayer is Mysterious Part 3.  Prayer is mysterious because God is mysterious! God is mysterious and there is nothing we can do about it! If you think you will ever know everything about God then you must think again! God is not a man and we cannot know everything about Him. It is precisely because of the mysteries surrounding God that a lot of people do not pray.  In this series of our quiet time we will see the mysteries surrounding prayer and we will learn that these mysteries should not keep us from prayer but rather draw us closer in search of answers. 3. Mysteriously, God seems to want us to keep asking about the same things even though we have asked Him before.  "Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17  If God did not know about our problems on the first day, He must know our problems and our needs by the third day of our prayer. If He knows all things so well, why does...
