Finding boldness to share our faith begins with understanding what empowered the early church despite intense persecution. Their courage stemmed from four key sources: experiencing the resurrection power of Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, understanding the authority of Jesus' name, and committing to prayer. When Peter and John healed a lame man and were subsequently arrested, they demonstrated remarkable boldness before religious leaders. Their example shows that when we've truly encountered Christ, rely on the Holy Spirit, understand the power in Jesus' name, and prioritize prayer, we too can become unstoppable witnesses regardless of opposition.
