Be Bold

 Be Bold

When reading Hebrews 4:16 and Prov 28:1 use this definition of bold.
You will see that nothing in this definition implies being a jerk but it also plainly shows that being a milk toast wimp isn’t apart of the definition either.
1. Daring; courageous; brave; intrepid; fearless; applied to men or other animals; as, bold as a lion.
2. Requiring courage in the execution; executed with spirit or boldness; planned with courage and spirit; as a bold enterprise.
3. Confident; not timorous.
Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
When we come to the throne in our time of need we are not to come groveling. We come boldly, confidently not because of us but because of our confidence and trust in who The Father is, because of of what Jesus did for us and through power of the Holy Spirit in us.
For us to come any other way would be insulting.
As born again people adopted into God’s family when we are in need of anything and especially forgiveness, we must understand that we can come to the One who loves us and obtain everything we need. Especially forgiveness. Not because we deserve it but because He loves us.
Proverbs 28:1
The wicked flee when no one pursues,
But the righteous are bold as a lion.
We are to walk as lions. Not because of us but because we have been made the righteousness of God in Christ. For us to walk timidly is again insulting to what Jesus has done for us. He paid a huge price for us to become part of the family of God. THE Royal family. You were born again into Royalty. Act like it

The Price and Cost for more of God and His Presence

  The Price and Cost for more of God and His Presence I was reading an account of a preacher’s experience that I had previous heard him describe before in a sermon. Thought the account was familiar to me this time though it hit different.   The experience was during a time he had spent months desiring and seeking more of God and His Presence.  There were two statements that the preacher made from this account that the Lord highlighted for me.  The first was “My request for more of God carried a price” and the second was from his cry to the Lord “I must have more of You at any cost!”. These statements when I had heard them before sounded very true and I totally had agreed with them.  In fact, they had inspired me.  This time, though, was different.  This time there was at first, for a moment fear and not a Godly fear.  No, it was a fear that the price I would have to pay would be the cost of the life of one or mor...

Fragrance

  Fragrance   2 Corinthians 2:14-15   Now thanks  be  to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.  15  For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.   Today in a prayer meeting someone mentioned the word fragrance as they were praying. The first thing that popped into my head was of a college student who had come into my store yesterday.  This young man had gone a little overboard, in my opinion, with his cologne.  It was so strong that I could smell him coming.  I also have customers who come in to the store with a different type of fragrance, one that isn’t pleasant.  In both cases you can smell them before you even see them and also the fragrance sticks around for a while after they leave.  The point of this being that fragrance influences and ...
