What do YOU do?

YOU cannot speak the name of Jesus or pray for anyone in His name, or else.
You can loose your job, your family, your life. What do YOU do? There are
some that would obey, others would share secretly, then there are those
that would become more bold than ever before. This same situation was put
before Peter and John in *Acts 4:17 But so that it spreads no further among
the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to
no man in this name.* Their response was simple, *Acts 4:19 But Peter and
John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to
listen to you more than to God, you judge. 20 For we cannot but speak the
things which we have seen and heard.* After all that I have been through,
all the garbage, destruction and chaos, I cannot but speak the things that
I have seen and heard. The only way for others to truly understand my
praise is to listen to stories of my past. There was a simple prayer that
was prayed and one that I echo as well, *Acts 4:29 Now, Lord, look on their
threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak
Your word* and after this prayer was the answer from God, *Acts 4:31 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.* May God fill ALL of His children with Holy
Spirit and give us BOLDNESS to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the
midst of whatever threats come our way. And ALL of God's people said, AMEN.
