The wicked flee when no man pursueth, but the righteous are bold (confident, secure, sure) as a lion. (Proverbs 28:1)
To be bold means to show an ability to take risks; confidence and courage. Another definition for bold is, courageous, confident, and fearless; ready to take risks, showing or requiring courage. Would you like to have spiritual boldness? You don’t need an expensive seminar or weekend conference to gain spiritual
boldness.
Allow your spirit man to lead and exercise emotional control over negative emotions. You do this by the continual application of the Word to pull down negative emotions. Another way to walk in boldness is a “bull-dog tenacity.” Be the one who is willing to never give up or let go of what God has told you to do. Your boldness births tenacity. We need to have mental discipline. What do you dwell on? My friend Joyce Meyer says, “Think about what you are thinking about.” The best way to get rid of what Zig Ziglar called ‘stinking thinking’ is with a continual dose of Philippians 4:8-9 in the Message Bible which says:
“Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.”
Be a Finisher! The strength of a person’s character. . .their drive to success is determined by whether or not they can finish what they started. I encourage you today to be Bold! You have a Mighty God and He is working inside you to make you all that He has called you to be. According to Proverbs you are bold as a lion!
