Be Bold

Since we have such a hope, we act with great boldness. – 2 Corinthians 3:12

What good is weak faith? Does it stand firm and provide protection during the storms of our lives? 

When talking about weak faith, God said, “So, because you are lukewarm – neither hot nor cold – I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” (Rev. 3:16)

The more you know who you are in Christ, the more confidence you will have in all circumstances.  In order to know who you are in Him, you first need to know who Jesus is to you, and to the whole world.  His seven I AM statements are a great springboard to launch a bold faith.

• I AM the Bread of Life – John 6:35

Let Jesus fill your heart, soul, and mind completely. Hunger for His presence every day.  He will draw close to you when you come close to Him. He can satisfy your cravings for companionship and fulfill your heart’s desires.

• I AM the Light of the World – John 8:12

Let Jesus be your guiding light.  Follow Him out of darkness into the light of His truths. Walk with Him and accept His unconditional love. Living in the light, you will transform more and more into His glorious likeness.  

• I AM the Gate – John 10:9

Let Jesus protect you and watch over you during all of your comings and goings.  He will be the keeper of your heart. He will keep the enemy out and give you a beautiful sense of belonging in His shelter and safety.  

• I AM the Good Shepherd – John 10:11

Let Jesus find you when you lose your way. He can find you no matter how far you’ve wandered. He will call you by name.  He will carry you gently back home and celebrate that you were once lost but now you’re found.

• I AM the Resurrection and the Life – John 11:25-26

Let Jesus breathe life into the dead areas of your heart.  He can heal brokenness and restore relationships.  Awaken to Jesus’ powerful hand at work in your life.  Only He can give eternal life in heaven and abundant life here on earth.

• I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life – John 14:6

Let Jesus lead you into God’s presence.  With your hand in Jesus’, you can run right into God’s throne room, lay down your sins, and ask your father in heaven to show you the wonderful plans He has for you. 

• I AM the True Vine – John 15:1

Let Jesus nurture you with His all-consuming love. In His father’s hands, you will be pruned and spurred on to grow and spiritually mature. As you grow in Jesus’ likeness, you will bear bountiful fruit.  This fruit lasts forever.

It is true.  There is power in the names of Jesus!  As you know Him more intimately, He will show you intimately who you are.  He will lead you to your next step of faith.  In His presence, with his power within you, you will have the boldness to believe and the courage to walk by faith and not by sight.

Be bold!  You are following the Great I AM.

The Power of Giving God Thanks Will Ignite Your Faith and Change Your World!
