Go Bold - A Kingdom of Boldness - with Pastor Marci Glisson

Thanks for checking out the anchor Faith.

Message podcast from st. Augustine Florida.

Now enjoyed this message. So this morning I want to go

over to Matthew 11 and verse 12. Matthew 11 and verse 12.

And talking about the kingdom of God.

Hallelujah. So, let me put my glasses on.

So that we can go. So this dropped in my spirit

actually, in a different format of what he had spoken to me, a

few weeks ago, when I went to North Carolina and ministered at

the Women's Conference with pastors, Anna, and Josh,

Gresham. And there's about 225 women

there and the Lord dropped in my spirit, a word for them.

Because the conference, Was about going, bold going, bold.

And so when the Lord taught to me this week about ministering,

he said, I want you to administer that to your people,

and but I've got a few other little twist to it.

So, this is not exactly how it came out when we were in North

Carolina. But it is what the word of the

Lord dropped in my spirit. And I believe, is pertinent for

where we're at. Rat in the Earth today and what

we need to recognize and what we need to know as balita Believers

as Kingdom citizens. Amen.

So Matthew 11 verse 12 says this, and from the days of John

Matthew 11:12

the Baptist, until now the Kingdom of Heaven, suffers

violence, and the violent. Take it by force the violent.

Take it by force. So here he's, we see that.

The back. This was the Forerunner for

Jesus when he came to the Earth, right?

As the suffering servant and John the Baptist, we know he was

little crazy. What knee?

I mean he had a you know clothes made out of camel hair and are

skinned whatever you call it and you know eight wild locusts.

Come on in the wilderness. - he was a little cray but but we

know that Jesus considered him the greatest Prophet, the

greatest prophet, and why is that?

Because he was a forerunner for him.

He saw he saw Old Testament coming to, he was the one right

there in the middle. Bringing it all together.

Okay, so John the Baptist he was something else well you know,

the Lord had spoken to us through prayer years ago,

probably eight years ago now that this church would be a

church like John the Baptist that would be a forerunner for

his return. For the return actually of the

king and John was They are preparing a way for Jesus to

come as the suffering servant as the savior of the world.

John the Baptist was, there getting everybody saved and

getting everybody, what saved and to repent And but he said to

us in the spirit years ago about our church is that we're going

to be the Forerunner for the Kings return.

So we've got to get people prepared for the kingdom.

Because we're not in a religion. No we are participants of God's

kingdom, when we get born again, amen.

And when you realize that this things about a real Kingdom,

then you have to match, you know, come to the conclusion

that there's some things going on in the kingdom of God, that

is not just religion. Okay, it's not just religion and

so he let us know that by the spirit that that is what we were

going to do is be a forerunner, but you see here, it says the

kingdom of Hub of Heaven, suffereth violence and the

violent take it by force. That means that the kingdom if

you are going to receive all that the kingdom has for you,

the fullness as Pastor April, had option to share about from

the, if you are going to operate in the fullness of Christ, in

the fullness of what the kingdom has to offer you, then you are

going to have to take it by force because it's not gonna

come by us. Moses.

It's not gonna come by just checking off the box and

attending church. It's not gonna come just because

you're born again. Know, when you look at that word

violent, take it by forth. It means you have got to put

effort to it. There is a press.

It says the violent, take it by forth.

They press into Into it, they put much effort into the kingdom

of God. They it is a intense force that

you are told to do this thing. It's vehement earnestness.

That means that there is something that we must do.

We're not going to get it by just being complacent

Christians. Passive Christians.

We're not going to receive all that God has for us.

If we have that mentality or that attitude, we're gonna have

to take We're going to have to take it by force.

We're going to have to press in, put some effort into it so that

we can actually attain to the fullness actually.

Pastor might read that scripture out of Ephesians talking about

he gave Apostles prophets pastors teachers for what the

equipping of the Saints and then you go on down to the end of it,

read it for yourself. And it says, so that we can all

attain to the fullness of Christ, all of us together.

God wants all of us to attain to this fullness in the body of

Christ. But we're going to have to put

effort into it and all the more as the day draws near when

everything is trying to Snuff out any form of God.

Any form of godliness. It's trying to be snuffed out.

It's snuffed out in schools, it's knocked out in government.

Come on, any, any form of society, that's trying to it's

snuffed out in Hollywood. I mean, you know, they're on

that. What is that?

Woke list? Or I don't even know whatever

it's called nowadays. You know, people are being, you

know, Hollywood stars are being, you know, push.

Back and not being part of the group anymore.

If they have any other type of voice, Cancel culture, all these

things. I mean I don't have time I'm

sure y'all know more about it than me.

I don't have time to sit there and worry about what everything

else is going on, and what's the proper terminology?

But I'm not a fool. I know what's happening in the

world, right? And in our society.

So he lets us know that listen if we are going to enter into

the kingdom and receive everything that the kingdom has,

we're going to have to do it by force.

We're going to have to put some intense effort, right?

And earnestness to it. Nothing about the kingdom of God

was weak. When Jesus walked the Earth

listen he was pressing and pushing back Darkness, he was

pressing and pushing back, religious people, Pharisees

scrum, he listened everything he was doing when he was in the

Earth was Authority in manifestation to push back.

That darkness and now is the time that we must be as Kingdom

citizens in the earth. Pushing back.

Darkness pushing back. Don't let listen don't let that

push. You push back.

Push em back push them back. What I think I said that

Wednesday night, we're supposed to push them back not like what

the Gators did this weekend? I was really not.

Want to tell pastor that his Gators were demolished and less

than and and Georgia left no doubt.

Georgia left. No doubt, you know.

Anyway, push them back football, right?

I was a cheerleader. A little bit in my life when I

was like little then I couldn't do a cartwheel and I couldn't

get on the JV team. I mean, there's just something

about trying to stand on your head.

I don't get it. I mean, like, why do I want to

flip upside down? It just freaks me out.

Anyway, I got the most Spirit award, but they wouldn't let me

come on the team because I just couldn't do a cartwheel.

I don't know. You want me cheering you on,

that's what I know. That's what I've tried to do.

Here people. It's cheer Kingdom citizens, on,

come on that we could push back. Come on and that we can boldly

walk into our Authority, that God's given us in the earth

glory to God. So the definition, or the Not

the definition, the acronym that God dropped in my spirit for the

Women's Conference for gold. Go bold is lesson that go means

action. So, we need to have some action

to what we're doing for the kingdom of God, you know, we all

we know this that he said that we are to go into what, all the

world, all the world, and not just different parts of the

world, but in your world of influence, right?

We're supposed to go and we're supposed to be bold and push

back darkness. And we are supposed to take what

God God has given us and share to the world.

So it also means advancement to go means advancement and we know

our slogan here is what always advancing our we always

advancing, are you always advancing?

Are you just sitting on your laurels so to speak, right?

Being complacent, being a passive Christian, just sitting

there, expecting. I'm blessed.

My for blessed, and I don't want to cause any more problems.

That's not going to get you the fullness.

It's not going to get you into the fullness of what God has for

your life. Amen.

So if we're going to go bold, we're going to have to go

forward move forward, and what God is wanting us to do

individually in our life spiritually, right?

And then also coming together corporately with an advancement

or of movement for the kingdom of God, in our city, around our

nation and across the world. Amen.

We're going Have to have Movement.

We have to go. We have to advance to the next

thing that God needs us to do. And it's not gonna just be easy.

So when he said, go bold, he dropped in my spirit and

accurate. Listen, I don't normally get

this acronyms and all these things.

And, to be honest, as I shared with the ladies, I was too much

taking care. Giving pastors mother 24 hours a

day and I Just the week before it was like a couple of days

before I think it was Monday. I was flying out on a Thursday.

I went for a walk because I have not had a spare moment of time

and I just said, Lord I just have not, I have not been

slothful on purpose and not studied and not tried to be

sensitive to what you want me to give to these women.

They're asking me to come speak but I'm telling you Lord, I just

need your supply. I need Grace.

I mean I don't know. What you want me to share with

these ladies and I don't like to go places.

Unless I know that I know I've heard from the Lord, there's

plenty of messages I could speak, but I want to know what

he wants by the spirit for impartation into their lives and

ice, and I just said the word, the, you know, their their title

is go bold, and all of a sudden Bowl drop down.

In my spirit and I think they have it on the screen.

Bold, it's going to be in big bold letters.

On the screen, there it is. And he said this if we are going

to advance if we're going to move forward, if we are going to

do what God needs us to do than we are going to have to believe

the opposite and loudly declare. We're going to have to believe

the opposite and loudly declare because anything that the Lord

needs for us to do in this hour that we're living.

Listen, we are going to have to believe.

We're going to have to have faith.

Isn't that what pastor had been ministering on several weeks

ago? We're going to have to be people

of faith and leave. No doubt.

And with, if we're going to go in advance and do some things

God's boldly calling us to do to step out like no man's known

before, right? Then we're going to have to

believe God, we're going to have to step out on faith.

It's not always going to be pretty, it's not always going to

be lined out, it's not always gonna be right there.

No, we're going to have to step out of the boat by faith and

believe God. Amen.

But then we're going to have to What believe the opposite

because the minute you go on and go bold and step out on

something, you know, the Lord needs you to do.

There's going to be opposition from who the liar, the God of

this world. Amen.

He's always going to tell you. You can't.

You shouldn't. And how a fool, what a fool.

You're gonna look like if you do it and you miss it.

And why even try to believe God, cause you really don't know what

you're doing anyway. Way, so you're going to have to

believe the opposite of what the devil is saying to you.

Amen. So this kingdom is a kingdom of

boldness. And then what are we going to

have to do? We're going to have to loudly

declare. That means it's time that we

open up our mouths as Believers, quit sitting there with your

mouth shut. I know one Minister said you

cannot fight your giant with your mouth shut.

You can't fight your giant. You can't fight the devil with

your mouth. Shut, you can't beat a salt with

a thought. Hallelujah, because faith is

activated by what we speak. We Believe, therefore, we speak.

And so, in this day and in this hour, when the world is trying

to shut us up, we need to recognize.

We are Of a kingdom that is a kingdom of boldness.

Hallelujah boldness. And we've got to put some effort

into what it is that God is saying to us.

Our kingdom is a kingdom. That was never to be a kingdom.

That just is whatever quesarasara know.

God's kingdom is intentional. There is a purpose and there is

a plan of why we, every individual is Here and a part of

it. He chose us.

He chose us out of darkness and brought us into His Marvelous

Kingdom to discover the plan and the purpose that he has for our

lives. Amen.

And we're going to have to recognize this kingdom is a

kingdom that cannot be shaken. You know, I was thinking about

that everywhere. I looked in scriptures about his

kingdom, his kingdom is a powerful Kingdom.

But not only that, he left every weapon that we would need to be

able to overcome and overthrow the enemy in anything in every

situation. So this is not a weak Little

Kingdom that we're a part of. It's only week.

If you're a part of Christianity and religion, Okay.

Why do I know this first Timothy 6:12 says this that there's a

1 Timothy 6:12

fight that we have to fight. It's the good fight of what

faith. We have to make sure that we are

keeping our faith activated activated in the fight.

Fight the good fight of Faith. What does he say?

Take whole. There's that word.

Again, that's something that we must do.

We must take hold of eternal life.

Which you were called and to make the good confession in the

presence of many witnesses. So, the kingdom of God, it

sounds like, wow, the kingdom, maybe a little violent and he's

even promoting fighting. But this is a good fight, right?

Because our battle is not against what flesh and blood

This is a good fight, but there's some things that we have

to activate. I don't know about you, but I'm

not going to stand in a fight and not defend myself.

And not defend myself. Now, you know, he did say if

someone hits you, right, turn the other cheek, right?

But, you know, you can defend yourself and not have to lay a

finger. Right.

Because you know where it comes from amen.

Hallelujah. So we're going to have to

believe the opposite of what the enemy is telling us and loudly

declare what God has said about us.

Now, let me read psalms 138, I want to just read a couple of

scriptures about what he says about people that are in his

kingdom, okay? Psalms 1 38 3, says in the day

when I cried out to you, you answered me.

And you what made me bold with strength in my soul, you made me

bold, guess what? God has made every believer.

That's a part of his kingdom, bold.

So you don't have to say, well, I'm just not that personality.

I'm not this personality, but I have the mind of Christ.

And I've been I've learned to trust him and do.

Do the things that God's asking me to do and walk by faith.

Come on and be a voice in this dark world.

Amen. So he says, I have made you

bold, he didn't make not one person in the Kingdom week,

passive. We all have different

personalities but you can still have a bold spirit because that

is the character of God. Our God is what bold?

He's bold. His character is bold, read

Proverbs, 28 1, the wicked flee when no one pursues him but the

righteous are what bold as a lion The righteous are bold as a

lion, so he made us bold. He lets us know that when we get

in right alignment with his kingdom, in a place of

righteousness than we can be bold as a lion.

Hallelujah, Ephesians 3 12, let's read it.

It says, when you get this is to Believers Ephesians, right?

It says, in whom we have what boldness, and confident access

through faith in him. I watched we get born again, you

can see. Boldness is a part of our

makeup. That's my new DNA, you know,

everybody wants to talk about, you know.

Well, you know, my DNA is, you know, the blood of Jesus.

And but let's look at the character of who he is.

Let's look at the character as well.

My DNA is, is it a bold and, and confident there's a difference

between being bold and confident and arrogance, arrogance comes

from self boldness. Come on and confidence comes

from the Lord. You know, Pastor talked about

these last couple of weeks. Eliminating self eliminating

self, I love what John said. This is just a side note.

He said I must what decrease so that he can increase when we

deal with self and we get rid of our selfishness and things that

we are trying to do, then we can actually operate in authority

and that boldness with confidence and it's Gonna be an

arrogance. There's a difference between

boldness and an arrogant spirit. Okay.

Now religious all religious religious, people always call it

arrogance. Anyway, I'll move on acts 4:13

Acts 4:13

says this. So here he lets us know in

Ephesians that we have boldness and confidence through him.

And then he lets us know that some of his disciples had that

same boldness and acts 14 13. It says now when they saw the

boldness of who Peter and John and perceived that they were

unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled and they Knowledge of

them that they had been with what Jesus.

Hallelujah, that they had been with Jesus.

So if they had been with Jesus there, rubbing off.

If we've been made in His image, come on in his likeness, then

there ought to be a boldness in our spirit.

A boldness in this day I'm telling you we're going to have

to be bold. Now, let's look at John 8:44, I

John 8:44

quoted this but I want to move on into the message.

John 8:44 says this, you are of the father of your father, the

John 8:44

devil so many churches today are so scared still to talk about

that. There's a real devil.

And that he is actually the God of this world and orchestrating

through people yielded to him. That are not born again.

Amen. Doing his bidding in all kinds

of sectors of society, This is how he functions, this is how he

operates it says. And you want to do the desires

of your father, he is a murderer from the beginning and he does

not stand in truth. There is no truth in him

whenever he speaks, he speaks a lie and he speaks speaks from

his own nature for he is a liar. Liar.

And a, what Father of Lies. So I'm gonna let you know that

any time you begin to step out on something that the Lord's

wanting you to do, whether it be, you know, you need to go to

another place spiritually in Christ or whatever it is, you

stepping out because he's asking you to do something, you've

never done before. You're in the unknown, the

devil's always going to be right there lying and saying you can't

do it. And you know what, I've learned,

I've learned that anything I hear he says, I can't do I know.

And I am assured that I can do it.

We the Bible says and I don't have the scripture wrote down,

we don't have to be ignorant of the devil's devices and one of

his major devices and probably the most prominent and the most

use of his devices is to just simply tell you a lie.

And that's simply what he did with Adam and Eve in the garden.

God said you shouldn't eat the fruit but what And the devil

said, will you surely won't die? Right, one lie, one lie.

So anything that you're hearing, whether it be your reading, the

word. And the Lord says, you know

what, you really need to deal with this situation in your

life, you know, you're you're you're just disrespecting your

husband or dishonoring your husband and I'm ready to help

tweak you so that your marriage can be better.

Well then the devil's come. I know what he says because I

had to deal with this. I mean who does he think he is?

I mean, I'm not ever going to submit to a man.

I was taught don't ever submit to a man.

So, I had a choice. Was I going to what?

Believe the opposite and loudly declare what the word said about

what I'm supposed to do. And I couldn't just think about

it. No, there had to be Action

behind it. And there had to be my mouth

behind it. Amen.

Cuz you can't beat a thought with a thought.

You just can't it won't work. And that's why so many people

are still being defeated because they're trying to think their

way out of it. And you can't know you what's

on, the inside. Must be released and activated

for that to be moved and to work.

Amen. So how do I know this?

Because of the temptation of Christ in Matthew 4 in Matthew

4. We know.

Well, what was great. I was reading out of Matthew and

and looking over about John the Baptist and and everything about

his life and then reading about how he went baptized Jesus in

the Jordan and and the heavens opened up and you know, father

said, this is my son in whom I'm well pleased.

And then it said in immediately, He was what led by the spirit

Into the Wilderness in Matthew 4, Into the Wilderness to be

tempted of the devil. So immediately he's going in to

the Wilderness led by the spirit to be tempted.

And what do we know how he over cam, right?

He said it is written. Now could Jesus just you know by

osmosis think this he's God, right?

No. It said he said and when you

looked at up said that means he verbally.

Spoke it is written. It is written.

And every time the devil would come back with a thought or with

something, he was trying to tell him.

What did he do? He opened up his mouth again and

he said it is written. So if we are going to write

operate in our kingdom Authority, then we're going to

have to open up our mouths and boldly what declare what the

Lord has said about our Situation.

Right. And we've said this, let me just

go ahead and read this to you and second Corinthians 4:13, but

2 Corinthians 4:13

having the same Spirit of Faith, according to what is written, I

believed, therefore I spoke. We also believe therefore we

what also speak. So what we believe must be

spoken when you came down to the altar to receive Jesus.

As your As your lord, you had to make what a confession with your

mouth. That Jesus Christ is Lord.

You had to say a thing. You had to make a covenant with

your mouth with him. You couldn't just think it.

You couldn't just quote scripture in your head.

Right. You couldn't just let the pastor

pray for you or the person in the altars pray for you know you

had to make a public confession of your faith in Christ.

You had to speak it out what you believed by faith and it's then

and only then did it get activated.

So, our faith must be released through our mouth.

And it Must be activated by what we say.

So anytime the enemy is coming against our marriage.

Coming against our children. Things going on in the world

like economic recession, you've and I said this months ago,

didn't I that you better not fall into the LIE of believing

in your household. There's going to be a recession

and what did we say? We better start speaking.

We have more than enough. We have a full supply for any

good work. No, not in my house.

I'm in Covenant. I'm at either I'm a giver.

Come on. And I'm going to have more than

enough. Just like Joseph did in the year

of famine. Come on any time.

There was anything going on, they had more than enough.

More than enough say I have more than enough.

Hallelujah. Glory to God.

So we have to be people that speak out our faith and be bold

about it because the enemy is not going to relent, he's not

going to give up. Right.

He's always there. Actually we know the word devil

means, what? Just that Diablos one, that's

just there's a pound pound pound pound Pound in your mind a

thought trying to get you to take.

Hold of it. Well, you need to earnestly,

take hold of the kingdom of God and say, devil, you need to shut

up and get out because the word of God says that by his stripes

I'm Healed. And so I'm going to walk in

healing. Come on. whatever the Casey says

that we'll have more than enough for every good work that are,

that will have a full Supply You got to start speaking out what

you really believe, that's why I don't understand why people can

come into a service and sing songs and not sing.

Because what we sing is actually words of life and can release an

atmosphere of faith in you. And then you're actually

learning how to declare by singing, what you believe.

Amen. This is called classical

Christian education. Amen.

You get to participate every Sunday and Wednesday.

Right. Cuz how many of you go home?

And then that morning, you wake up and the song you sang for

worship on Sunday was right, is right there.

Listen have you learned how to just tap on into a instead of

having a bad mood on a Monday? Why don't you tap into your

spirit which is singing the song you sang Yesterday from worship

and just start magnifying the Lord and singing that song

instead of singing the song of oh my gosh I got another work.

Oh my gosh I'm tired. That's a song, you sing.

Hallelujah. Y'all, you know when pastors

away? I get his preaching anointing.

Hallelujah. Well, when you sit up

underneath, one of the best Pastors in the world Listen.

And that's not just because I'm married to the man, I'm going to

tell you, I've set up underneath a lot of pastors and preachers

and teachers. And I mean, he's still just one

of the best to me. One of the best breaks down that

word like nobody else. Hallelujah.

Anyway, yeah. So, when he leaves, he's always

like, oh, you just preaching up there.

I said, well, your anointing left and I just stepped right on

in it. Hallelujah, let me read the

scripture. Second Corinthians, y'all doing

all right this morning. Second Corinthians chapter 10

2 Corinthians 10 · chapter mention

and verse 5 says this, casting down imaginations and every High

thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and

bringing into captivity every thought to The Obedience of

Christ. This is what he's letting us

know that we are a part of a king.

That is a kingdom of boldness. We've been given the character

of God that is bold. Amen.

And listen, when the enemy comes, he comes to our mind to

try to bring in and Imagination to show you a picture of how

you're going to fail. At what it is God's trying to

do. He'll show you a pretty picture,

you know, in your mind and Imagination.

And so what is he? Letting us know.

Listen, we're going to have to bring it into captivity.

This is what we're talking about.

We're going to have to take it by force.

We are going to have to bring it into captivity, God's not going

to do it for us. Jesus is not going to do it for

us, and the Holy Ghost is on the inside saying, do it.

And then we must yield, and take captives those thoughts of the

enemy and then we must boldly declare.

We must believe the opposite of what the enemy saying and loudly

declare. What it is that we know God is

saying. And I'm telling you the day is

Drawing Near, and we are going to have to be people that open

up our mouths. In our houses, in our

situations, come on. We're going to have to open up

our mouths, and begin to walk out what we believe and speak

what we believe. Amen.

And not be shy about it. Not be timid about it, right?

Nowhere in scripture. Did I see in the kingdom of God?

Was this a just a week Kingdom? No, he actually used terms like

this. You're more than a what

conquering means. There's a fight to it.

To conquer. Something means there's a fight

to it. So to conquer thoughts, to

conquer anything that's going on in your life, you know, maybe

you're going through a season where God's trying to purge some

things or prune. Some things.

We talked about that Wednesday night that we're going through

some seasons of change. And in those Seasons I'm telling

you you are going to have to boldly declare what God has

said. Add about your situation and

take it by force, put effort into it and say, I am gonna

overcome this. I am a conqueror, this is no

longer going to keep me bound. I'm no Kong, or gonna walk

around this mountain for 40 more years. 40, more years.

I'm no longer walking around this mountain.

I mean sick and tired. Are you sick and tired of

dealing with some things over and over in here?

And you're I mean just your years of being a Believer.

Well then we're going to have to get violent about it.

And put it where it belongs towards fighting the fight to

say low. I'm going to overcome this, I'm

going to be a conqueror. Amen.

I'm not going to let this conquer me.

I'm going to conquer it once and for all actually going to pull

out my sword of the spirit and actually going to What chop its

head off and say no longer no longer.

Is this going to be a part of my life insecurities, whatever your

past, whatever my Lord. If anybody can get over there

pass, it's me. I did it.

Listen, I can tell you how it's a Process.

Of obeying God in the midst of when you don't want to.

And and yielding to him and saying, okay, Lord I can do

this. Okay, yes, I'm going to trust

you with this. Okay?

I see where that is I'm going to write y because he's always

there trying to perfect us and put us in a place to walk into

the fullness of what it is that God's called you to walk into

amen. Now, let's look at a couple

other things, Ephesians 6, 19 and 20 says this and I pray on

my behalf that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my

mouth. Do you know that this is a

prayer that you can pray? This is the prayer that Paul

prayed. We call these the Pauline

prayers in those Epistles, right?

And we can pray the same prayers now here Paul is praying.

Listen, you know I heard one preacher said if you you know,

talks about how you need to have, Prayer, you're going to

have bold prayers. Why?

Because God expects us to be bold.

Bold prayers have boldness in her life.

It says pray on my behalf that utterance may be given to me in

the opening of my mouth to make known with boldness.

The Mystery of the gospel for which I am an ambassador in

chains that in proclaiming it. I might what speak boldly as I

ought to speak. This is a prayer that every

believer can pray, Father, I want to be bold about,

proclaiming the gospel of the Kingdom to all the Earth, people

need to know, come on, that there is a better life.

There is a better way of living, come on and, and, and listen, I

may not be the most eloquent or the most educated and boy, did

Paul say that. No, but what I do know is Christ

crucified come on in him living on the inside of me and I can I

can testify of everything that he's done in my life and I can

do it boldly and I can help people bring them into the same

place and help them walk it out. Hallelujah, but there's an

opening of our mouth that has to happen.

It's time for when you're getting around people.

Now, you know, that when you're talking and carrying on

conversations and trying to witness to people that you, you

know, are led by the spirit and what you're saying.

But I'm going to tell you. I think we've used that as a cop

out that nobody's saying anything anymore.

Well, I didn't feel the let Spirit.

Well if you would just open up your mouth.

Come on. He says you may not know what

you ought to speak but in that moment don't worry about.

It, I'll give it to you. If you just open up your mouth

and begin to share, there's so many people that need to know

about the kingdom of God. Amen.

And he lets us know that we can have boldness in it.

First Thessalonians 2 to says this.

It says, but after we had already suffered and been

ministered in Philippi, as you know, we had the boldness in our

God to speak. To you the gospel of God amid

much opposition. So, even in the midst, do you

know? And I'm not talking about just

now you're asking for boldness when you're around your friends,

but in the midst of opposition, now he lets us know, there can

be some boldness that will rise up boldness.

That can rise up in the midst of opposition.

And I'm going to tell you, there's a lot of opposition

happening today in our society. Come on.

Trying to get people's minds twisted.

And perverted and we must in those moments that we hear some

of this or are able to share about some things.

You must be bold and enough to stand up and say, well, no, I

don't really believe that. I don't think I'm no, I don't

want that. A part of our education.

No. I'm going to stand actually

against it. Right.

We've got to start being bold enough to speak.

What we believe. Hallelujah. because remember he

said that we are the salt of the earth We are here to preserve to

be a support and Pillar of Truth in the earth and to preserve the

truth. Hallelujah.

So I'm telling you, we're going to have to get bold about some

things while we're out and about and we're hearing actually in

first Thessalonians chapter 2 that we just read in the passion

1 Thessalonians 2 · chapter mention

translation. It says this, they were

emboldened in their faith to fearlessly preach.

They were in bolded in their faith.

To fearlessly, preach the gospel.

And I'm going to tell you, we're going to have to have that same

fight about us in the hour that we're living.

We are going to have to be embolden in our faith.

That means we got to know what we believe.

Now, you know, some people don't open up their mouth because they

are come to church every day, but they really don't believe

what's been said or they don't believe it and have revelation

of it for themselves. And so they really We can't

speak because they don't know really what they believe, but,

when you start operating and saying no, I do believe the word

of God. I do believe that the word is

infallible. Word of God.

Hallelujah. I do believe everything that's

written in this word, and I believe everything about it,

then you will be in bold and because you are a person of

faith, not just Faith out there in God.

But you are a person of faith that lives by faith.

Come on that walks by faith. And every decision you make in

your life is by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Hallelujah, then you'll be bold about what you believe.

I've seen it time and time again.

When I come across people, man, I know they believe that I know

faith is in them. I mean, he just, he said, Paul,

we know he ministered many a times and he could see Faith

among the people, so when you're with people, you could know

whether they're in faith or not or whether they still don't know

where they stand. Amen.

They're still on solid. Right?

They don't have personal revelation of it themselves.

Amen. Hallelujah.

But we must be people. That will boldly declare

Hallelujah. In this day and this our Hebrews

13 6 says this, so that we may boldly say the Lord is my helper

and I will not fear what man shall do to me.

So many? People are afraid of man.

Afraid of what they owe and I'm scared.

They won't like me. Who cares?

Oh, I'm scared. I won't get any followers.

Who cares? All the Jesus's followers left

him. And the disciples even question

you want us to eat your blood and drink or eat your bread body

and drink your blood. You're crazy.

This is what they're thinking. Right.

So we must be people that recognize that the Lord is my

helper and I'm not going to fear, man.

What shall they do to me? They can kill me.

And where will I be in the presence of the Lord?

Hallelujah, hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Glory to God. Some of y'all need to get that

revelation. Glory to God, hallelujah.

Second Corinthians 3, 12. Therefore having such a hope we

use great boldness in our speech, when you know who you

trust. You know who you belong to come

on. When, you know that, you know,

that, you know, you are in alignment with everything God

has said in his word and you're striving into that, you know,

fullness that he has for us. Listen.

You can be assured, you can be assured to have a hope and walk

in great. A surety Philippians 1:14 says

Philippians 1:14

this and many of the brethren in the Lord waxing, Confident by my

bonds are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

So here Paul, we know in Philippians 1 was in prison and

he said, listen, even while I'm in prison I'm going to I know

that this suffering is only going to lead me to a more

boldness to speak the gospel. How much, how many of us want to

deal with that? You don't want to have to Ender

any suffering, in our little soft Christianity.

You know, we don't want anybody to have their feathers ruffled

and we don't want to hurt anything going on because we

don't want the persecution, we don't want the slander, we don't

want, listen, we don't want to have to walk through that, but

I'm going to tell you what, if you're actually going to begin

to be bold about what God has said about you and walk some

things out. And actually make a difference

for the kingdom of God and push back Darkness.

You're going to be talked about. You're going to be slandered,

you're going to be persecuted, it just comes with the

territory. He actually said on the servant,

I rejoice and be glad that they're persecuting you, right?

Because that means you're actually doing something for the

kingdom of God. Those that don't ruffle any

feathers and don't have any opposition.

And don't, listen, I have to ask myself.

Well, what are they really doing?

What are they really doing? Hallelujah.

So in in this persecution or in this suffering are in these

things. Listen, if you just stick with

God, you're going to come out, even Bolder.

Why? Because your faith is going to

get stronger, you're going to continue to grow in faith.

Our faith can grow from Faith to Faith.

And what glory to glory? We can walk in.

I want to be like the synturion, just speak the word only come

on. He and he looked at him and

marveled and said, wow, you are one.

What, great faith, whatever your word says, I'm gonna speak it.

I'm gonna declare it. Come on, I'm gonna boldly.

Say it, I'm gonna sing to the top of my lungs.

I'm gonna praise him for the rest of my days, and I'm gonna

boldly declare what God has said in the earth glory to God, glory

to God unrestrained boldness, Unrestrained boldness, acts 429.

And 30. I'm going to close with this

pastor Marcus. I'll can come acts for 29 and 30

and verse 31 and I'm going to read it.

It says now Lord look on their threats and Grant to your

servants that with all what boldness that they would speak

your word, by stretching out your hand to heal and that signs

and wonders may be done through the name of your holy servant.

Jesus. When they had prayed, come on,

the place was shaken where they were assembled and they were all

filled with the Holy Ghost and spoke the word with boldness.

So the Holy Ghost is bold. And the Holy Ghost is the one in

the earth working through. You help yourself.

Help yourself to some boldness, help yourself to the Holy Ghost,

that's on the inside of you that wants you to be a bold believer

in a bold Christian in the day that we're living in.

Come on, partake of some boldness, partake of some

boldness. He said, so for one reason that

you would be able to speak the word in that something Not did

he say for boldness to actually do Miracles and all these other

things, he said, boldness to speak your word because what at

the faith comes from hearing and hearing from the word of God.

And so every time you're bold to speak the word out, then someone

actually then can receive the seed of the word and have faith

put in their heart. Come on.

And then they can actually Slowly begin to operate in it.

But unless we speak it and unless we Proclaim it, it's not

gonna happen. Thank you so much for listening
