"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world" (1 John 4:4).

Your personal knowledge of who you are in Christ will most certainly inspire confidence and boldness in your spirit. Everywhere you go, you carry yourself with assurance and dignity. Even in the face of challenges, youre bold; never intimidated. Consider the Lord Jesus, when He stood before Pontius Pilate, wasnt intimidated, but gave a good and bold testimony.

The Lord Jesus was always in dominion. He was the embodiment of humility, yet He was never intimidated by anything or anyone. Likewise, dont let fear or timidity hold you back. Be respectful and humble, but never intimidated. Speak out when you need to, and let your voice be heard.

When I was in school as a little boy, I was a bright student, but didnt manifest so much boldness. Even when I knew the answers to the questions the teachers asked in class, I hesitated to raise my hand. Others who were bolder, even if they were wrong, gained the teachers attention and respect. But it all changed when I received the Holy Spirit; I became audacious and fearless.

Being courageous and audacious is very important in life. Recall the admonition God gave to Joshua when Joshua launched out in ministry: Only be thou strong and very courageous (Joshua 1:7). Many have the knowledge and ability to contribute meaningfully in their environments but are often not courageous enough to take a stand. Those who speak upright or wrongare the ones who get noticed, respected, and corrected if necessary.

Even when you greet people, let your voice be clear and confident. Dont mumble or shrink back in uncertainty. Speak boldly, greet boldly, and live boldly. God has given you the spirit of power, not of fear. Step out in that power and make your voice heard. But balance this with humility. Boldness is not arrogance. True boldness is rooted in confidence, coupled with a teachable spirit.

Prayer

Dear Father, I walk with the assurance of who I am in Christ, speaking up and making my voice count for your kingdom and for your glory in these last days. I remain humble as I boldly declare your truth, knowing that you are with me always, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
