and today we're gonna speak boldly. Speak Speaking boldly is

(00:48):
today's message on the Morning Devo. Want you to know
that you have something that's worth eternal value in your mouth.
A man. If you're born again, if you're if you're
seeking truth, you're going to find the truth giver. You
get to find absolute truth, you get to find objective truth,

(01:08):
you get to find the Lord Jesus. If you're seeking truth,
if you're seeking happiness and just worldly things, Amen, you
get to find what the world's given you. But if
you want to speak boldly and you want to learn
how others are speaking boldly a man, you've got to
be filled with the spirit of God to speak the truth,
the oracles of God, the mysteries of God, the promises
of God. Because remember always remember this that the promise

(01:31):
came before the law. Amen. God's promise was spoken before
the law was given. When you testify, when you give
an account of what God has done for you, Amen,
you're declaring, I'm not ashamed of what Jesus has done
in my life. And that's what I mean about speaking boldly.
We would have been the Acts. Chapter number four, Verse

(01:52):
number thirty one asks for thirty one today in the morning,
devo and speak boldly. Don't hold back, Amen. Don't be arrogant.
You wouldn't love, have grace, have mercy. Amen, do what
needs to be done according to the scriptures. Let the
Holy Spirit of God lead you into all righteousness and
the right path. The steps of the righteous are ordered

(02:14):
right according to the scriptures. So take that first step, amen,
and don't be afraid to walk by faith and not
by sight. So if you have any questions, comments, concerns,
prayer requests, or anything along those lines, please don't hesitate
to leave it on the live chat. That's what we're

the subscribe to the podcast page as well. Amen is
a one and done. You just sign up once and
give me your best email address and what you would
want me to call you your name Amen on the platform,
so that way we could get you on our list

(02:55):
and then you receive things that I don't put out
on social media, and then you'll get it via email,
some meetups, some special studies, and man, you'll be on
the list of our VFP email lists. So let's go forward.
Let's pray first. After we pray, we'll shut us out
for like sixty seconds, and then on the other side
of those sixty seconds, we'll come back and we'll get

(03:17):
into acts. Chapter number four, Verse number thirty one, very
important verse for today on the morning devo. So Lord Jesus,
I say, thank you, Lord boldly. You created a new heart,
a new mind, a purpose. You have a plan that's
a perfect plan for every single one of us, whosoevers
who called upon your name to be saved. Thank you,

(03:39):
Lord God for sparing us. Thank you, Lord God for
your kindness, your grace, your mercy. Thank you Lord God
for changing our hearts and changing our direction. Thank you,
Lord God for giving us eternal life and an abundant
life here on this side of eternity. I speak, Lord God,
boldness to be in our hearts and in our minds,
and that we will speak boldly out of our mouths

(04:00):
the mysteries, the plans, the promises, the prophecies of the
Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord God for inspiring us and
giving us a new start, a new day. Thank you,
Lord God for your hedge of protection, which I pray
daily for myself, my wife, our children, our grandchildren, everyone
and our family from the very oldest to the very

(04:20):
youngest family member and every single person in between. I
pray that same prayer every day for every single person
that's listening and watching right now, that's connecting now, who
will connect later, whether or not they're alive with me
or not. I pray a hedge of protection that the
enemy will run and we will submit to God. Resist
the devil and he will flee. According to your scriptures,

(04:42):
Lord God, I speak forth and dispatch arkueen angels to
everyone's place of dwelling, to their homes, to their apartments,
to their schools, to their workplace, while they're driving, while
they're walking, while they're talking with friends. The power of
Holy Spirit God that will dispatch arkueen angels, minutes, angels,
warrying angels. As you look, God, are the king of

(05:05):
the army's angels or the angels armies. Amen. Thank you,
Lord God for your power, your love and your mercy.
Thank you for doing what you have done on the
cross once for all. And thank you Lord God for today.
So I speak life concerning all things living, and I
thank you, Lo God, that we could come against anything

(05:25):
that tries to distract us or bring death upon our mindset.
And we will speak boldly against those things that are unrighteous,
and we will boldly speak things that are righteous. And
the powerful name of Jesus Ya shi Wahamashie I praise
by faith and all those who agree. We boldly say Amen,
sue that. Amen, Sister Joyce, I see you. Good morning, God,
bless you. Thank you for the blessings in the group,

(05:46):
and Jesus name. Praying for our nation. Amen. Amen. Yes,
we need prayer now. New York needs a whole lot
of prayer too, for what might be happening over there
according to the elections. Remember, I'll leave it life at that.
So let's pray for our brothers and sisters here in
our state, wherever your state is. Amen, pray for your

(06:06):
brothers and sisters. Also, pray for the nation. Thank you
so much that you are praying for our nation. I'll
join you in that prayer, my sister and my friend.
So let's go for it. Help me share this out
sixty seconds. When we come back, we'll get right into
today's morning devo. Speaking boldly. Ay, Man, you're ready, I'm ready.
Let's go a lot of groups. Thank you for the

(08:02):
groups that helped me share this out. Amen to your
pages as well. And if I clicked on your group
and you're like, why are you putting your your Bible
study or your morning demail my group, my apologies. I
just clicked something normally wouldn't click. Amen, and if that's you, Amen,
I didn't do it on purpose. I did I literally
my thumb went to the wrong button. But if you

(08:23):
allow it, Amen, praise God, and we'll continue a partner
with the Gospel message. Amen, Brother John, I see you,
peace and blessings. Good morning, my brother, my friend, and
to all, thank you so much for coming through. Brother John.
It's good to see you in the morning. Devo. So
let's get it going. Let's let's speak boldly. Speaking boldly
is the name on the title of this speak. We
got some sauce here that we're gonna read in the scriptures,

(08:45):
and this is one of my favorite books, and the Investment,
the Book of Acts, of course, Romans is one of
my favorite. The Book of Acts is my favorite. Amen,
oh man. So many scriptures that the Book of Acts
have really impacted my life and looks in Romans as well.
And speaking boldly is a thing, and we should be

(09:06):
speaking boldly but with kindness and the gentle spirit, if
that makes any sense. Just because somebody's loud and passionate
doesn't mean they're speaking in love. But we as believers,
we have holy spirit that will allow us to speak
out and speak boldly and do it with love and
the gentle spirit. It's amazing how God can do that
in our lives. All we have to do is show up.

(09:28):
Sometimes all you got to do is show up, and
God will take it from there. Be available a man,
be open to what God is doing a man, and
take it from there. Let's go for it. Speaking boldly
on the morning Devo Acts, Chapter four, verse thirty one.
And when they had prayed, the place where they were

(09:49):
meeting together was shaken, a sign of God's presence. And
they will all filled with the Holy Spirit and began
to speak the Word of God with what boldness and courage. Now,
something just popped out to me, because I hear this

(10:10):
a lot. You ever heard somebody say I feel the
presence of God, or I feel God, you know, I
feel Holy Spirit. Amen. According to the scripture, when these
people felt the presence of God right where they were meeting,
the place was shaken. Right. Have you ever seen that

(10:35):
in your church or maybe in your community of believers
or ministry, or somebody says, I feel the presence of
the Lord and nothing happens. Something is happening. But I'm saying,
according to the scripture, that should be something a shaking
some evidence of the Holy ghosts. Amen. And in this

(10:57):
instance they were filled with the Holy Spirit began to
speak the Word of God with boldness and courage. The
next time you hear that phrase, I feel the presence
of the Lord or I feel God. Amen, expect something
supernatural to happen. Amen, Because all through the scripture, where

(11:19):
the presidence of the Lord is this what freedom, there's victory. Amen.
There's a lot going on. When the presidence of the
Lord shows up. People are falling down, Amen, And something
is happening in the spirit realm. We might not see
everything that's happening. Sometimes God will pull down the veil
in the spirit we could see things in the spirit.

(11:41):
But normally most times, at least in my relationship with
the Lord, Amen, he allows me to see spiritual things sometimes,
but most times, Amen, I have to experience the Word
before I could experience anything else. Amen. A'll, but you
everyone's relationship is different because we are all different. God
create You created you for a purpose of plans, specifically

(12:04):
for where you are, for the time that you're living alive,
a man for your community. He create hand crafted us
to do the oracles, to do the miracles to do
the assignments of the Lord. Amen. All we have to
do is be willing and available. Listen, listen and discern
test all spirits. The Bible says a man, the Word says,

(12:27):
and let Holy Spirit lead us. He will fill us,
and he will allow us to speak. He will allow
us to move, live, breathe, and have our being in Christ.
We share the dna of the Lord, a man, the
divine nature. Always from the Lord. We can move accordingly
a man. Don't be afraid to speak boldly. Don't back up,

(12:48):
don't back off. We need each other. We need to
speak up. We need to show the world mercies and
grace of the Lord. So listen. Speaking boldly means you
don't whisper what God shouts. Right, You don't whisper what
God shouts. You share your story even when the world

(13:11):
tries to silence you. Right, the world will say I
don't want to hear it. Well, then go to somebody
else who does want to hear it. Amen, there's plenty
of people to go around. Somebody is looking for truth.
Somebody needs Jesus. Somebody is looking for the for the
Lord of Heaven and Earth. Somebody needs a change in
their life. So speak the Bible, speak and share your

(13:33):
story even when the world tries to silence you. Right
when you speak, though, when you're speaking boldly, make sure
you do it in love but with power, and they
will see the conviction and they will see the confidence
in you, because Holy Spirit is speaking through us. Amen.
So that's why I took it to ask for thirty one.

(13:55):
They will all fill with the Holy Spirit and spoke
the word of God boldly. Right. So after they prayed,
you notice that it says after they prayed, this wasn't
a casual prayer. Obviously, it was a united cry to God.
It was an united prayer of faith. Amen. And after

(14:17):
Peter and John were threatened for preaching Jesus, they still prayed.
The believers didn't pray for safety. Notice that they didn't
play for pray to God that they will help escape
from the situation. They pray for boldness. They prayed something
that will keep them going. Amen. In the time. If

(14:38):
you read in the context, So that's our posture, our
posture of united faith, workers of the Lord, Amen, servants
of the Most High God. Our posture is a posture
of faith. We're not asking God to remove the problem
we're not asking God to remove the storm. We're not
asking God that, but to make us flame proof in

(15:03):
the fire, so that way we could walk through it untouched. Amen.
And we see that with the three Hebrew Boys and
the story right in the Old Covenant. They'll put in
a fiery furnace, and God spared their lives and making
the people who tried to kill them made them realize,

(15:23):
wait a minute, they are serving the true, living, holy,
righteous God. Look what we did, and look how they
came out, like they came out unburned. So the place
where they were meeting was shaken. That popped out to
me when I read the scripture. I was like, something
happened in that room, or something happened in that place.

(15:43):
Something happened in that meeting room, right, the presidence of
the Lord. That wasn't symbolic, ladies and gentlemen, that was
an actual event. The power of God lit literally moved
the room literally. Amen. And these people testify all over
the world or the presidence of the Lord. What the

(16:04):
Lord does. I don't know what book it was, but
there was a book written years ago. A preacher was preaching, right,
they were having a revival, and I witnessed event. Got
the name of the author. I had the book around
here somewhere, but it was years ago when I read it.

(16:26):
He actually came to the church where I was attending
and he shared the story in person. So he said
he was preaching and then he heard something that sounded
like lightning and thunder, and his pulpit was split in half.
This eyewitness people saw this, and from that point on,
they said, the presence of the Lord was so thick

(16:48):
and having that place that people who are parking their
cars in a parking lot walking towards the meeting place
or falling out in the parking lot, the presence of
God thing happened. Amen. And from that point on, I
think the book was called The God Chaser. Amen. And
I can't remember the gentleman's name the author, but look

(17:11):
it up and it's a true story. The book was written.
I win this account and people felt the presidence of
the Lord, and they said that was going on for hours.
People were showing up and they couldn't make it past
the parking lot because the presidence of the Lord was
so heavy in that place, in that community, in that area,

(17:33):
that they were falling out in the parking lot. It's
called the God chaser. So when God shakes the place,
he's saying, I'm here, I'm with you, right, I'm real.
Here's the evidence. Keep going. Sometimes before he shakes the world,

(17:59):
or before he shakes the place, sometimes he'll shake us,
he'll shake his people, he'll shake his children. Amen. So
that way we can know, wait a minute, we're headed somewhere,
and it will give you confidence and will give you boldness. Unfortunately,
a lot of people have these experiences, right, and they
think it's all about them, and they go do these
ministries and they want to make sure everybody's focused on

(18:21):
what happened in them in their life. And then they
say things to the crowd that they say, listen, if
you if you tie up with me, if you partner
with me in my ministry, God would do X y
Z just because you're connected with me. That's not what
the scripture says at all. This is theay when united

(18:41):
they were in the meeting place, Amen, the Holy Spirit
filled them, and then God, the presence of God, shook
the room. It was an event that happened to all
of them. Amen. At the same time there was no God.
Then specifically say I'm not going to shake the room
until Pee or John or Mark right or Matthew get

(19:04):
Holy Spirit first, and then they could tell you how
to make the room shape. They can tell you how
to get into The Presidents of God doesn't say that.
It says they were filled with the Holy Spirit. A men.
After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken,
and they will all filled with the Holy Spirit and
spoke the word of God boldly. Seems like they will
all speaking the Word of God with boldness and confidence,

(19:26):
filled with Holy Spirit God, the same spirit that rose
Jesus from the grave. It's the same spirit that's in
every single one of us who call upon the name
of the Lord to be saved and we're born again, rescue, sanctified, delivered.
They will all filled with the Holy Spirit. You know
this all were filled, not just the apostles. And this

(19:46):
goes back to some people say when the apostles died,
the original apostles, there's no more miracles, there's normal signs
and wonders. Man, oh man, that would be something right.
There would be no more miracles, no more feeling of
the Holy Spirit, no more talking and tons, speaking and tons,
no more speaking boldly, no more preaching because the apostles,

(20:07):
after all, the original apostles died, so therefore all that ceased.
I don't think that's the case at all. They were
all filled, not just the apostles. This outpouring of the
Holy Spirit was for every believer. And guess what, every
believer can get the outpouring right now. The spirit will
fill you again. Amen. They already experienced Pentecost, Ladies in Gentlemen,

(20:29):
Act Chapter one, verse eight, they already experienced Pentecosts. This
is not Pentecosts. This is after Pentecost. Amen. They went
right back into the same city that threatened them and
preached even louder. So they had divine courage at that point. Right.
We see that right now? Ouradays see Christians at festivals

(20:51):
and they're told to leave that asked to leave public
public events, and they're saying, no, this is a private event.
You guys gotta go. Don't let the world silence you
in your message. Now, I would say, do it in
order be kind to the authorities. Amen, but stand your ground. Amen.

(21:12):
We have a First Amendment right freedom of speech. But
stand your ground. Don't tell don't let them tell you
that you have to leave a public place because they're
trying to privatize an event that's a lot good morning
since to join I see you, Good morning, God, bless you.
Welcome back to the morning. Devo. Okay, So when you

(21:33):
speak the word boldly, the Word of God spoken boldly,
this is what the result is, a true spirit right feeling,
it's really not emotional hype. It's not emotional hype. Amen.
When you're filled with Holy Spirit, it's fearless faith and

(21:53):
feel less faith and confident courage. The power of God
moving through a person who's available to be used by
God is something beautiful to see, something powerful, to see
something encouraging. To see it would spark up your life
and spark up my life. Amen. And we're going to
want to come alongside of the people that are out
there in the streets, highways and byways preaching the gospel

(22:14):
to a lost society. So the result of a true
spirit filled person, it's not about emotion, right, It's not
emotional hype. It's fearless faith. So they went right back
into the same city that threatened them to preach, that
threatened say, if you come in here and preach, we're

(22:35):
going to do x y Z lock you up. We
gotta kick you out of here, we gotta physically assault you.
But they preached even louder because they had the divine
nature of God living inside of the divine courage a man,
divine faith. So this is what it is when you pray,
pray with boldness, when you speak the word of God,

(22:56):
speaking with boldness and confidence. If you don't know something
of the Word of God, it's okay. Allow God to
speak through you. Amen, by our Holy Spirit. Last time
I check. Holy Spirit knows the scripture. Holy Spirit is
God in the third person, Amen, living and dwelling inside
of all His people. So when you pray, praying unity,
seek God's presence, like what and where is God moving

(23:20):
right now? And be a part of that. And you're
going to feel it's not going to be a motion.
Yes we do have emotion, but it's not going to
be led by emotions. It's going to be led by
a holy Spirit God Who's going to lead us into
these places of God's presence. Amen, lead us into place
places of God's presence. And I lost my place. See

(23:42):
God's presence. Yield to the Spirit of God, shake and
move your atmosphere talking them about this yesterday in the
men's group where I attend a men's group, Amen, and
talking them about how God when he's in the presence
of Lord, when you're in the President of Love, things happen. Amen.

(24:05):
And we shift atmospheres. Wherever you go, you go with
the Spirit of God and the Kingdom of God. Wherever
I go, I go with the Spirit of God and
the Kingdom of God. So when we walk into a room,
that atmosphere should change, should bring the glory of God,
whether or not you believe that or not. A man
and you're born again, you're a child of God, your
son of God, your daughter of God. A man, you're

(24:25):
part of a royal priest or now a kingdom of God. Amen.
You are already seated in the heaveny places. But in
the meantime, wherever you go, you carry the glory of
God with glory carriers. Right, we function in faith, not
in fear. We move in not an emotion, but we
move empowered by Holy Spirit God. So it's not to

(24:49):
scare you. Right, when the President of the Law shows
up shaking the atmosphere is not to scare you. It's
to actually encourage you. It's actually to stir you up
to the things of God. Is actually to give you
divine courage and your faithful increase because you know something
is moving in your life because of the shaking. The
shaking will break your fear. The shaking will break your pride,

(25:13):
and the shaking will take your doubt and put it
into the sea of unforgetfulness. Like we're going to forget
about the doubt and we're going to move with boldness
and we can move and flow freely because of the
boldness of God that God places in us with the
presence and the Holy Spirit filled believer. Amen. So we
have what we need to live this life out in boldness.

(25:33):
We have what we need to We have the word
of God to speak boldly the Word of God, Amen,
even if you have to read it. I'm not going
to memorize the whole scripture. I'm not going to memorize
the whole Bible, are you. Let's speak what God speaks
through us and allow him to speak. Sometimes we'll say
things and we won't even remember what we said to
that specific person and that specific situation and that specific time.

(25:54):
We probably won't even remember what we said. But for
that moment in time. God is speak in the directly
to a person, to a community, to a nation, to
a town, to a city, to borrow. Amen. And He's
using you and I and I to do what he
wants to do on this side of eternity. So if
you want to see revival today, it starts with us. Amen.
The revival is already in us right. And we make

(26:17):
the same prayer. Lord, make us bold, shake our churches,
shake our homes, shake our hearts, and feel us again,
so that way we can see the presence of God.
And we can speak boldly around people and people to
people a man, speak boldly to ourselves, encouraging ourselves, and
move forward and victory and the things of the Lord.
I'm out of time. I hope you get what I'm saying.

(26:38):
We were in Acts, chapter number four, verse thirty one.
I suggest you read the whole chapter of the Book
of Acts, chapter four A men sae. Get the full
context of where we were today in the morning DEVO.
So God bless you all, God keep you all, and
remember always that God is good. Peace,
