Acts 4:29–30 (ESV) - “And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness, while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall reflects on one of the great prayers of the early church. Faced with opposition from religious leaders, government authorities, and the culture around them, the believers did not respond with fear or retreat. Instead, they recognized God's sovereignty and prayed for greater boldness to continue proclaiming Jesus. Pastor Sumrall explains that opposition has always been directed primarily against Christ Himself. While the world may tolerate religion or spirituality, it often resists the reality, authority, and power of Jesus. Yet the early church understood that difficult times were not a reason to back down but an opportunity to trust God more deeply and expect Him to move powerfully. Pastor Sumrall reminds us that when challenges arise, our response should be faith, courage, and prayer. Rather than withdrawing in fear, we can ask God to empower us to speak His Word boldly and to demonstrate His power through lives transformed by Jesus. ---- Don’t forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon 🔔 to stay updated.
