BOLDNESS TO WITNESS FOR CHRIST
*Proverbs 28:1*
“The righteous are as bold as a lion.”
*Explanation:*
Proverbs 28:1 declares that “The righteous are as bold as a lion.” This means that as believers, we are called to be fearless and confident in sharing the Gospel. Boldness is not arrogance but a divine empowerment to stand for Christ despite opposition, fear, or rejection.
To effectively witness, we need both courage and wisdom—courage to speak the truth without fear and wisdom to communicate the Gospel in a way that reaches hearts. Boldness comes from a deep relationship with God, prayer, and the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 4:31).
Pray for the strength to be a light in a dark world, sharing the message of salvation with conviction and love.
*I DECREE and DECLARE:*
My Dear Heavenly Father, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude for the gift of salvation and the privilege to be Your witness. Thank You for calling me to shine as a light in this world. As I pray for boldness to share the Gospel, fill me afresh with Your Spirit, strengthen my faith, and grant me wisdom. Let my words and life reflect Your love and truth, that many may come to know You. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
1) *Prayer for Supernatural Boldness and Confidence*
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the gift of salvation and the privilege to be called Your child. Your Word declares in Proverbs 28:1 that “the righteous are as bold as a lion.” Lord, I receive this divine boldness today! I refuse to be timid, hesitant, or fearful in sharing the Gospel. Every spirit of fear, doubt, or intimidation that seeks to silence my witness, I cast it out in the name of Jesus! Fill me with the fire of the Holy Spirit so that I may proclaim Your Word with power, conviction, and love.
Father, just as You empowered the early church in Acts 4:31, let Your Spirit come upon me afresh. Give me the courage to speak the truth in the face of opposition. Whether in my workplace, community, or among my family and friends, may my voice never be silent when it comes to sharing the message of salvation. Strengthen my faith so that I will not waver, no matter the challenges I may face. Lord, make me an unshakable ambassador of Christ, standing firm in faith and truth. Use me as a vessel to bring many to Your kingdom, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen!
2) *Prayer for Wisdom and Discernment in Witnessing*
Father, I acknowledge that boldness alone is not enough; I need Your wisdom to witness effectively. Your Word says in James 1:5 that if anyone lacks wisdom, they should ask You, and You will give generously. Lord, I ask for divine wisdom and discernment to communicate the Gospel in ways that will touch hearts and change lives.
Holy Spirit, teach me how to approach different people with sensitivity and understanding. Let my words be seasoned with grace and love, not condemnation. Give me insight into the struggles of those I witness to, so I can minister to their specific needs. Help me to recognize the right moments to speak, and the right words to say. Let me not argue, but rather present the truth with humility and love. May my life itself be a testimony that draws people to Christ. Guide me to those who are ready to receive salvation, and let every conversation I have this month bring glory to Your name.
In the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
3) *Prayer for Strength to Overcome Fear and Opposition*
Lord, I confess that at times, I have been afraid to speak up for You. I have hesitated, worried about rejection, criticism, or persecution. But today, I choose to stand on Your promise that “the righteous are as bold as a lion.” I renounce every spirit of fear and intimidation, for You have not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
Father, strengthen me to remain steadfast when I face opposition. Whether it comes from unbelievers, skeptics, or even those close to me, I will not be shaken. Just as Paul boldly declared the Gospel despite imprisonment and persecution, I receive the grace to remain fearless in my witness. When I am mocked, let me respond with love. When I am challenged, let me respond with wisdom. When I am discouraged, remind me that I am never alone, for You are with me always (Matthew 28:20).
Lord, I pray that my testimony will shine brightly in the midst of darkness. Let the boldness of the Holy Spirit empower me to witness with joy, courage, and unwavering faith. May my life and my words draw many to You, and may I never grow weary in sharing the good news of Christ. Thank You, Father, for using me as Your instrument to bring salvation to the lost. I declare that I will walk in boldness, wisdom, and divine strength all through this month and beyond, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen!
*In Closing:*
Father, I thank You for hearing my prayers. I receive the boldness, wisdom, and strength to witness for Christ without fear. Let my life be a testimony of Your love and power, drawing many to salvation. Holy Spirit, guide my words and steps, and let Your name be glorified through me. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
I cover all my prayers and my declarations and my decrees and my commands and my supplications and my petitions and my confessions and my thanksgiving by the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ for absolute performance.
TODAY’S PROPHECY
Thus Saith the Lord,
*1) “MY Beloved Child,*
*I see your heart, your struggles, and your victories. But I also see the unseen battles in the lives of those around you. Many carry burdens they do not speak of, wounds they hide behind smiles, and fears they battle in silence. That is why I ask you to be kind—because your kindness can be the healing someone needs.*
*I have called you to be a light in this world. A gentle word, a listening ear, a patient response—these are simple acts, but they carry great power. Just as I have shown you mercy and compassion, I want you to extend the same to others. “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as I have forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:32).*
*Even when others are difficult, choose love. Even when you don’t understand their pain, choose grace. You may not see it now, but your kindness is planting seeds of hope in hearts that are weary. And as you show love to others, you will experience more of MY love flowing through you.*
*Walk in MY grace, and let MY kindness shine through you. I AM with you always.*
*—Your Heavenly Father*
