Are You Fully Surrendered?
“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.”
Acts 4:31

Ponder This
Are you a slave of the Lord Jesus Christ? I try to make it a habit every day to lift my hands in surrender to the Lord. To say to the Lord, “I am Your servant.” I am not just a servant, though, I am a slave of the Lord Jesus Christ. Boldness is not for rebels. You will never have boldness, true boldness, until you can say, “Now, Lord, grant to Your bondservant, to Your slave, boldness.”
When you do that, the Holy Spirit of God will give you courage. He will be the One who works in you and gives you courage. It is not something you can do on your own. You have to depend on God to give you courage. If there’s any unconfessed sin in your life, any area you’ve not surrendered to Him, then you’re not going to have boldness. That sin, that area of your life is a barrier.
A person who is hiding sin from God is always wondering, “Do they know this? Have they heard that? Will I be discovered here?” That is a life of fear and anxiety. Peace and great adventure are ahead when you can wake up and say, “There’s nothing between my soul and the Savior. Lord, I am Your servant. I am Your slave. Jesus is with me. God the Father is above me. Holy Spirit of God, You’re within me. Grant boldness to declare Your Word.”
- Is there something in your life you have not surrendered to God? What entices you to hold onto that sin?
- Have you ever asked God to give you boldness? Why or why not?
Practice This
Surrender to God as His servant and ask Him to equip you with boldness.
