Power Play
When engaging others in conversations about Christ, we need boldness. But where does that boldness come from? Is it an attitude we can generate ourselves?
Boldness is the product of the Holy Spirit’s work in our lives. There is a divine pattern found in Acts 4:31: first praying, then the filling, and finally speaking with boldness.
Witnessing in the power of the Spirit begins with prayer. Through prayer we express our dependence on God, and he aligns us with His purpose and plans. God responds to our prayers by filling us with his Spirit, if we ask. The filling of the Spirit imparts to us the power and ability to be a fruitful and bold witness.
We then take the initiative in the power of Holy Spirit to share God’s word with those around us.
Thought: Success in witnessing is taking the initiative to share Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit and leaving the results to God.
Take a Step: Ask God to fill you with his Spirit and power right now. Thank him for doing so. Be alert for opportunities throughout this week to speak for Christ. Be willing to take the initiative.
