Intro
Unashamed and Unafraid: The Righteous Are Bold as a Lion.
Beloved, the call to evangelism is a call to holy courage—to live and speak boldly, not because of our own strength, but because of the righteousness and power we have in Yeshua. Proverbs declares, “The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion” (Proverbs 28:1). This boldness is not arrogance or aggression, but the overflow of a heart set free by grace. It is the fruit of knowing that, in Christ, you are forgiven, empowered, and commissioned as His ambassador in a world longing for truth.
When the early church prayed for boldness, “the place was shaken… and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness” (Acts 4:31). Boldness is a supernatural impartation—birthed in prayer, sustained by the Spirit, and anchored in the unchanging truth of the gospel. Paul, writing from prison, asked, “Pray… that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel” (Ephesians 6:19-20). If he needed boldness, how much more do we in our generation!
Let’s be clear: fear and shame are not from God. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). When you sense hesitation rising up, remember Romans 1:16—“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.” You carry a message that can change destinies! Let it out. Let it shine.
Pause and reflect: Where have you held back due to fear or the opinions of others? What might it look like for you to step out in boldness this week? Write a prayer of surrender and courage in your journal, asking Ruach HaKodesh to fill you afresh.
Let’s pray: Father, make us bold as lions. Remove every trace of shame, fear, and hesitation. Fill us with the Spirit of power, love, and self-control. Let our lives declare Your greatness, and our mouths speak Your gospel with clarity and compassion. In Yeshua’s name, amen.
Beloved, boldness is your inheritance. In the next section, we’ll explore how to cultivate a lifestyle of courageous evangelism, always seeking new opportunities to share the love of God wherever you go.

Point 1
A Lifestyle of Boldness: Cultivating Courage Every Day.
Boldness in evangelism isn’t a momentary burst of courage—it’s a daily way of living. The early church didn’t just pray once for boldness; they made it a lifestyle, constantly seeking fresh empowerment from Ruach HaKodesh. Every new situation, every encounter, was met with prayer, readiness, and an expectancy that Yahweh would use them. You don’t need a platform or a microphone to be bold—just a willing heart and a listening ear.
Cultivate courage by spending time in God’s presence. The more you behold Yeshua, the more you’ll reflect His boldness, compassion, and authority. Boldness grows when you remember who you are: a child of God, an ambassador of the Kingdom, clothed in righteousness. Paul said, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ…” (Romans 1:16). Remind yourself of the good news you carry—meditate on the cross, resurrection, and the Spirit’s indwelling presence.
Look for small, daily opportunities to step out in faith. It might be offering to pray for a coworker, sharing a word of encouragement at the grocery store, or simply starting a conversation about hope. Every time you obey, boldness grows. And when you face resistance, don’t shrink back—stand firm, knowing you are never alone. “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” (Psalm 27:1).
Pause and reflect: What is one practical way you can cultivate a lifestyle of boldness this week? Who might the Spirit be prompting you to reach out to today? Journal your intention and ask God for fresh encounters and courage.
Let’s pray: Yahweh, thank You for calling us into a lifestyle of boldness. Teach us to walk daily in Your courage and compassion. Use every small step of faith to reveal Your love to a world in need. In Yeshua’s name, amen.
Beloved, boldness is built one obedient act at a time. In the next section, we’ll see how signs, wonders, and answered prayers follow a courageous witness, and how this supernatural partnership brings glory to Yeshua and transforms lives.

Point 2
Supernatural Partnership: Signs, Wonders, and Bold Evangelism.
When we step out in boldness, we’re not relying on our own strength or charisma—we’re partnering with Ruach HaKodesh, the Spirit who confirms the gospel with supernatural power. The early believers prayed, “Grant unto Thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak Thy word, by stretching forth Thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of Thy holy child Jesus” (Acts 4:29-30). Bold evangelism invites God to move, and He delights to demonstrate His reality in ways that touch both hearts and bodies.
Throughout Scripture and church history, stories abound of ordinary people stepping out, and the Lord meeting them with miracles—physical healing, deliverance, divine appointments, and prophetic words. Boldness and the supernatural are meant to go together! When you share your faith and pray with expectation, you create space for Yahweh to display His love in unmistakable ways.
It’s important to remember: the focus is never on the miracle itself, but on the love and truth of Yeshua. Signs and wonders open hearts, point to the gospel, and confirm the message we proclaim. As you witness boldly, be sensitive to the Spirit’s leading—He may give you a word of knowledge, a prayer to offer, or a prompting to encourage someone in need. Watch how He moves when you step out!
Pause and reflect: Have you seen God move in power as you’ve stepped out in faith? What would it look like to pray more boldly for the Spirit to confirm your witness with signs and wonders? Journal your prayers and stories, and ask the Lord for fresh expectancy.
Let’s pray: Father, thank You for partnering with us as we share the gospel. Stretch out Your hand to heal, restore, and save. Let signs and wonders accompany our bold witness, so that many may encounter Your love and truth. In Yeshua’s name, amen.
Beloved, you are not alone in your witness—the living God is with you! In our final section, we’ll celebrate the legacy of a bold evangelist: lives transformed, faith multiplied, and generations changed by the power of the gospel.

The Legacy of Boldness: Transforming Generations for Christ.
Every act of bold evangelism creates a ripple that echoes through families, communities, and generations. Paul wrote, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes” (Romans 1:16). The stories of faith you help birth today will multiply long after you are gone—your courage, your testimony, your willingness to obey God will inspire and equip others to rise in their time.
The book of Acts ends, but the acts of the Holy Spirit continue through each of us. Imagine generations to come, tracing their journey with Yeshua back to your bold conversation, your prayer in a moment of need, your obedience to share hope in the face of resistance. Your legacy is not just in what you do, but in the people you empower, the faith you impart, and the love you sow.
When you embrace a lifestyle of boldness, you become part of Yahweh’s unstoppable story—a story of salvation, restoration, and awakening. This is your commission: to shine, to speak, to act in faith, and to call others into their destiny in Christ. The Spirit is with you, and heaven rejoices over every soul won, every prayer answered, every step of faith taken.
Pause and reflect: What do you hope your legacy of faith and boldness will be? Who are you praying for, mentoring, or inspiring to step out for Christ? Write a prayer or prophetic declaration in your journal, asking God to use your life to ignite courage in others.
Let’s pray: Father, thank You for the legacy of boldness You have called us to. Let our lives be seeds for revival and catalysts for transformation. May generations after us walk in even greater faith and see greater fruit for Your Kingdom. In Yeshua’s name, amen.
Beloved, your boldness is shaping eternity. Keep stepping out, keep believing, and watch as Yahweh uses your life to transform the world—one encounter, one generation at a time.

Prayer
Commissioned with Courage: Walking Boldly Until He Comes.
The story of every evangelist—indeed, of every disciple—is a story of courage. We are called not just to begin with boldness, but to finish strong, persevering in faith until Yeshua returns. The world needs to see believers who stand firm, who refuse to shrink back, who rise every day with a fresh “yes” to God’s commission. Paul finished his race saying, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7). May this be our testimony too!
You do not run this race alone. Ruach HaKodesh empowers you daily; the prayers of saints past and present surround you; and the promise of Yeshua’s soon return anchors your hope. As you walk in boldness—sharing Christ, loving your neighbor, praying for the lost—you are part of Yahweh’s end-time harvest, ushering in revival for this generation and the next.
There will be challenges and battles, but “in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us” (Romans 8:37). Let your boldness be rooted not in your own strength, but in the victory of the cross and the unfailing faithfulness of God. Every day is an opportunity to step out, to lift your voice, to lay hands on the sick, to proclaim freedom, and to shine light into darkness.
Pause and reflect: What does finishing strong look like for you? Where do you need a fresh touch of courage or vision for your call? Write a prayer of dedication in your journal, inviting Yeshua to lead you into new levels of boldness and faithfulness until the end.
Let’s pray: Father, we receive Your commission with joy and humility. Fill us with unshakeable courage, perseverance, and love. Help us to finish our race boldly, to lead others into Your Kingdom, and to live every day ready for Your return. In Yeshua’s name, amen.
Beloved, the adventure of evangelism is not just for a season—it’s a lifelong calling. Walk boldly, live joyfully, and never stop declaring the good news of Yeshua until the whole world hears!
