When we walk in Holiness, FATHER responds, and we are empowered with boldness!
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 4:
13 Now when they (the Sanhedrin) saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.
18 So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the Name of Jesus.
19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge.
20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.”
21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them, because of the people, since they all glorified God for what had been done.
22 For the man was over forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed.
The adversary’s minions who are in political power, want to suppress Truth. They want to keep the masses subjected to them by creating a narrative of lies designed to keep people in fear of change. It is all about enslavement. If you are constantly subjected to a lie, you will ultimately succumb to the lie and believe that it is true. Experts in psychology have instructed certain politicians in this methodology. Most wars in the last few decades were unnecessary unless you were a defense contractor whose profits were based on kinetic war.
Fear did not dissuade Peter or John from being bold.
23 And being let go (after overnight imprisonment), they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
24 So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: “Lord, You are God, who made Heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them,
25 Who by the mouth of Your servant David have said: ‘Why did the nations rage, And the people plot vain things?
26 The kings of the earth took their stand, And the rulers were gathered together Against the LORD and against His Christ.’
27 “For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, Whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel (an unholy alliance), were gathered together
28 to do whatever Your Hand and Your purpose determined before to be done.
29 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your Word,
30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the Name of Your Holy Servant Jesus.”
31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the Word of God with boldness.
It is critical for the true church to come into unity and pray for boldness, being anointed to be fully led by The Holy Spirit with signs and wonders confirming the Word of THE LORD. They based their request quoting Palm chapter two. None were seeking fame and fortune. Instead, they were focused on bringing forth The Kingdom of GOD on earth as it is in Heaven. FATHER responded!
There is a confrontation coming against the international conspiracy of the “kings and rulers” of the world. Don’t be scared, be prepared.
The true church will be known for its Holy boldness as it was in the early church!
