Lesson Jan 9, 2011

First what do you think of THIIS statement?
Christians- are we allowing the HYPERSENSITIVITY of others to silence us. When we do that SOULS are perishing. Offence is going to come. So Let it?
What do you think of that and what does it say to you? Open to discussion.

ACTS 4; 29. And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

ACTS 13; 46. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles
ACTS 19: 8. And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
EPH 6; 19. And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20. For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Here is a true story about boldness….. Listen carefully and you judge!

In December, 1999, Donnell Duncan stood over the corpse of a 16 year old member of his father’s church. He was in the middle of a funeral service with about one thousand teenagers crying out in pain because of the tragic loss.
Many of them were not Christians but they all had some connection to the deceased
God gave Donnell simple instructions, “Open your mouth and speak life into the body of the young man and I will do what you say

WHAT HAPPENED? What is the rest of the story as Paul Harvey use to say?

As soon as he got the opportunity, he positioned himself over the casket and froze. What if people heard him? What if it didn’t work? He didn’t have the faith! He walked away broken hearted and afraid without ever saying a word.
Eight years later, he released the information to The Church that he wished he had on that

WHAT HAPPENED to him--Fear-- 2Tim 1; 7. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
How about did he lose faith in HIS Faith ad the WORD of GOD!?

JERMI 5: 14. Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
ISA 55; 11. So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
