Paul just speaks about Jesus and with passion shares his story, praying that everyone will accept it. I like the fact that Paul has no concern about who he is talking to, he just shares. The reason he does this so boldly is because he knows what he is taking about because he has put the time in to learn. We must continue to desire growth and learning so we can open our minds and heart to share with everyone our love for Jesus. We shouldn’t get nervous or back down when people ask, we should share and be ready to defend our faith. When we give Jesus the time asking the Father for wisdom we will be given the words to speak and when we speak we will shine with passion and strength. This takes us putting in the time to learn and grow, and that time should be filled with prayer and at times fasting, so we can be still and hear. I say we should all know that incredible moment when we knew Jesus and it was apparent to us that we needed to be different. Then we need to share it with everyone and explain how Jesus affected our life. Then when we share our passion will show that our faith is real. Amen
Acts 26:29 “Paul replied, ‘Whether quickly or not, I pray to God that both you and everyone here in this audience might become the same as I am, except for these chains.”

Agreed - I believe the amount of courage we have to speak up is equivalent to the amount of time we spend alone with our God ; )

I agree, I think for me, the more that is revealed to me and the "lie" I was living is more exposed allows me to be more bold. When I first got saved and would go around friends I was timid and didn't want to cause any waves. Now I want to cause those waves because I know where the current will eventually lead them. Truth can never be defeated by lies, eventually the truth comes out. Especially when you take the time to seek it.
