Question

Hello how are you! I'm doing all right but i could use some help, i am a christian and i believe my calling is to spread the word through ministering and missionary trips, but every time i try, normally there's something logical that happens or something else and I'm just to scared to do it, or not able so i just need advice to start talk to people about God which for me is a struggle because i am looked down a lot by most kids for being not in the cool section and now people refer to me as a religious freak, so its really hard to get a nerve to talk to people about it.
if you have any help it would be most appreciated!

Answer
Hi Michael,

Thanks for this great quetion.  I have good news!  You are not the only one that has struggled with boldness.  Boldness is available to anyone who prays for it.  The Holy Spirit is waiting to empower anyone who asks to supernatural boldness to witness.  Pray and fast begging for power, stay in the owrd and in church and God will give you what you seek.

Acts 1:8
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.  
The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.

Acts 4:31
31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.

Ephesians 6:18-19
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.

I hope that this helps you.

In Christ
Pastor Don
