Jehovah’s Spirit Will Help You Acquire Boldness.

As Christians or as Christ’s followers, there is one quality that we all need as we engage in
proclaiming God’s Word to everyone, what is that quality . Boldness is the quality we are talking
about here
How thus can we acquire this quality. It is only with the help of Jehovahs Holy Spirit that we can
acquire boldness. And the Bible assures us that if we ask Jehovah for his Holy Spirit, he’ll give his
Holy Spirit to us . Read (Luke 11:13)

Indeed, we should constantly pray for holy spirit. If certain aspects of the ministry like doing
street witnessing, preaching informally, or working business territory intimidate us, we can pray
to Jehovah for his spirit and ask him to help us muster up the needed boldness.

We have the example of what a Christian woman named Rosa did. One day when Rosa was at
her place of work, a schoolteacher she works with was reading a report from another school
about the mistreatment of children. The teacher was so disturbed by what she read that she
cried out, “What is this world coming to?” Rosa could not pass up such an opportunity to give a
witness. What did she do to get the courage to speak up? This is what Rosa said and I quote “I
prayed to Jehovah and asked for his spirit to help me,” . Jehovah God answered her prayer and
She was able to give a fine witness and make a follow-up arrangement.

Consider also the case of a five-year-old girl named Milane, who lives in New York City. Milane
says that Before she goes to school she and her mom always pray to Jehovah.” What do they
pray for?They pray for Courage for Milane to take her stand and speak up about her God! And
this in turn has helped Milane to explain her position on birthdays and holidays and refrain
from joining in when those occasions are observed in her school.

These examples thus shows that when it comes to mustering up boldness, we are sure to always
rely on Jehovah and can always ask him for his holy spirit to help us.
We can also learn about acquiring boldness from the prophet Jeremiah

When Jehovah appointed Jeremiah as a prophet to the nations, Jeremiah’s reply to Jehovah was
not really one that portrays boldness. Read (Jer. 1:4-6)However In time, though, Jeremiah
became so persistent and forceful in his preaching activity that many viewed him as a calamity
howler or a doomsayer. For over 65 years, he boldly proclaimed Jehovah’s judgments. He was
well-known in Israel for his fearless and courageous preaching that some 600 years later when
Jesus spoke with boldness, some believed that he was Jeremiah returned to life.

So How did Jeremiah who was not bold at first overcome his shyness? Read (Jer. 20:9) .Yes,
Jehovah’s word exerted power on Jeremiah and impelled him to speak.
God’s word can also affect us the way it affected Jeremiah, how ? Read (Heb. 4:12)

Also 2 Peter 1:21 makes us understand that the Bible was inspired by God. Thus When we take
time to engage in meaningful personal study of the Bible, our minds become filled with the
message inspired by holy spirit. That message can prove to be “like a burning fire” inside us, so
that we will be unable to keep it in.
Therefore, taking time to study Gods word the Bible, we will want to tell others about God’s
word and promises and with the help of Jehovah’s holy spirit, if we ask , we can acquire the
boldness required to spread God’s word throughout the earth.
