Scripture:

“After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.” Acts 4:31 (NIV)

Devotion:

The early Church didn’t pray for safety — they prayed for boldness. They didn’t ask God to remove the threats; they asked Him to empower them in the middle of them. And God answered not by calming the storm, but by filling them with fire. Boldness isn’t about personality — it’s about posture. You don’t get bold by complaining. You get bold by communing. And real boldness doesn’t stop at a feeling — it finds a voice.

Declaration Prayer:

Lord, I don’t ask You to take away the challenge — I ask You to fill me with boldness. Shake what needs to be shaken and give me courage to speak with fire. In Jesus’ name, amen.
