Weekly Devotional: Speak Boldly to Yourself First

Jan 12, 2026

🗣️ Devotion: Speak Boldly to Yourself First

Scripture Focus: "Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness." — Acts 4:29 (NIV)

🔍 Reflection

Before Peter and John stood before crowds and councils, they stood before God. Acts 4:29 is a powerful moment of prayer—not for safety, but for boldness. The early church didn’t ask for the opposition to disappear. They asked for courage to rise.

But here’s the hidden truth: boldness doesn’t begin in the public square. It begins in the secret place. It starts with preaching the gospel to your own heart.

  • Are you reminding yourself daily of the power of the cross?
  • Are you speaking truth over your fears, doubts, and insecurities?
  • Are you declaring that the gospel is worth sharing, even when it’s uncomfortable?

Satan’s favorite playground is the six inches between your ears. Your mind is his battlefield, and his weapons are lies. Two of his most effective whispers?

  • “You’re not good enough.”
  • “You’re not loved enough.”

He doesn’t need chains when he has doubt. He doesn’t need a sword when he has shame. If he can convince you that you’re disqualified, he can keep you silent.

But here’s the truth: You are more than enough in Christ. You are deeply loved by the Father Before you speak boldly to others, you must speak boldly to yourself. Preach the gospel to your own heart. Declare war on the lies. Let me hear you say it out loud:

  • “I am chosen.”
  • “I am redeemed.”
  • “I am loved beyond measure.”
  • “I am called, equipped, and empowered to share the good news.”

 

🙏 Prayer

Lord, before I speak to the world, help me speak to my own soul. Remind me of your truth. Fill me with your Spirit. Make me bold—not just in public, but in private. Let your word dwell richly in me so that I can proclaim it fearlessly. Amen.

đź’¬ Challenge

Today, take five minutes to speak the gospel to yourself. Declare who Jesus is, what He’s done, and why it matters. Then, ask God for the same boldness the early church prayed for—and go share it with others.

Weekly Devotional: STOP for some God time

Jul 14, 2026 6:55 AM

Good morning everyone. How are you this morning? What direction are you heading out to this morning? Work? Meetings? Joining friends in some outdoor activity? Serving locally at a food bank, hospital, rest home? Is it a direction that is planned or has purpose? Is it for self or others? A lot going on in life today. People can’t seem to sit still. Have to do something. Always rushing here or there. There never seems to be enough time, enough hours in the day to get it all done. So, this morning, how did your day start? Got up. Shower. Dressed. A quick cup of coffee or a healthy bite of fruit or muffin. Out the door and we’re off running. But wait. Have we forgot something? Is there something that clouds your mind and says you have forgotten something. More likely, you’ve forgotten someone. Daily routines can be just that. A routine. A daily routine that forgets God. That forgets being thankful. Forgets giving praise and asking for guidance. A daily routine of me first, God comes whenever I can squeeze in the time. Too much on my mind to think about God this morning. My day is too busy to give thanks. A moment of conversation with my Creator. I’m too tired when I get home to even think about God’s blessings today. Besides, I went to church Sunday. I worshipped Him. I gave an offering. I took communion. I bowed my head in reverence. I’m good until next time. Charged my spiritual battery for the next week. Sound familiar? When we stop and take time to acknowledge God, He will bless us. Life is too hard without Him. Food for thought. God bless.

Weekly Devotional: I Believe; Help My Unbelief

Jun 9, 2026 9:19 AM

Mark 9:14-29: Another passage filled with nuggets. It mainly speaks of how powerful faith can be. The father says, “I believe; help my unbelief.”  How many of us have doubted from time to time?  How many times have we tried to act in faith and like the disciples failed to complete God’s work?  Jesus says at the end of this passage that, “This kind can only come out through prayer.”  Perhaps we fail sometimes because we haven’t turned it over to God in prayer.
