What does it mean to be BOLD?
“Boldness is the courage to act or speak fearlessly, despite real or imagined dangers.”
The first character in the Bible to be described as BOLD in the New Testament is none other than Jesus. His boldness was displayed through the words of Truth He spoke, even when speaking of His impending death on the cross (Mark 4:32).
Our words hold power (Proverbs 18:21). And when we communicate with God in prayer, boundless power is promised (John 14:13) because ALL power within the universe is His (Matthew 28:18). Through the Holy Spirit that power to be faithful no matter the cost can be ours (Acts 1:8).
In response to united prayer “… the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with BOLDNESS (Acts 4:31).”
Now is the time to step out of our comfort zones by first approaching God’s throne of grace BOLDLY (Hebrews 4:16).
“Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend... Prayer does not bring God down to us, but brings us up to Him.”
Steps to Christ, Ellen G White, page 93, para 2.
Let’s be BOLD!
Why the BOLD Conference?
BOLD is an initiative of the Bundoora and Broadford Church Plants to revive, inspire, and equip anyone who desires to step out of their comfort zones and live their life to the full potential God has designed them for!
