Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” Acts 4:29-30
Welcome to "The Power Of God's Whisper Podcast," where we explore how to listen and respond to God's voice. I'm your host, Matthew Adams, and today we're discussing Acts 4:29-30, which reminds us that God's power is often most visible during times of persecution and adversity. "O Lord, hear their threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word. Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus." Let's dive into three key points to consider as we learn how to trust God and boldly share His message during difficult times.
Throughout history, Christians have faced persecution and challenges, but even in the midst of these struggles, God's power and presence have remained strong. Today, we'll talk about how God empowers us to be bold in our faith, especially when we face adversity, and how His miraculous work often becomes even more evident during tough times.
Point 1: Persecution and God's work often go hand in hand
In times of persecution and difficulty, God's presence and power often become even more evident. As Christians face greater challenges, they also experience more encounters with God, clearer direction, and new strategies for sharing His message.
Point 2: Boldness in times of distress
God gives His servants greater boldness during times of distress. As we face adversity, we can trust that He will provide the strength and courage we need to continue sharing His word with others.
Point 3: God meets us in the middle of our hardships
As we endure hardships, God is with us, comforting and calming us with His presence and His voice. He is our ever-present help in times of need and gives us everything we need to follow Him faithfully.
Conclusion:
In the midst of adversity, we can trust God to empower us with boldness and to make His presence and power more evident than ever. As we continue to share His message and rely on His strength, we can experience the miraculous signs and wonders He promises.
Call to Action:
This week, as you face challenges and adversity, remember to turn to God for strength and boldness. Pray for the courage to share His message and trust that He will meet you in the midst of your hardships. Share your experiences with friends or family members, and encourage one another to rely on God's power and presence in every situation.
