Paul was in prison and would Probably have been advised to keep silent Instead Paul asked the Ephesian believers to pray that he would have boldness to proclaim the Gospel. Now how many people can a Prisoner con tact? Every time the guard changed Paul told the new guard about Jesus Soon there were many who had become true believers
I am a Gideon Auxiliary member. Each member is asked to give out two New testaments a month. At one time I had Probably given out two in the last two years. I needed this prayer for boldness. Being rather shy, I tind it very hard to speak up and share the Gospel.
One December, as we traveled to California for Christmas Ideterjnined to give out at least two New Testaments. As we checked out of our hotel room I mustered up my courage and offered a New Testament to the hotel clerk. She was delighted to accept it.
Then, as we finished breakfast in the restaurant i thought of Our young waitress. She was so busy. Dare I ask her? I did, but she had to leave in a huny to get an order out to another customer To my delight, she came back, received the New Testament and gave me a big hug! My hear was tilled with0 I had trusted the Lord for boldness, and He had helped me.
Insight Pray for boldness to share the Gospel. God
will give you courage to make the contact, and He will give you the Words you need.
