be bold.

"Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should." Ephesians 6:19-20

What is God's purpose for our lives?

"And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love."

- Ephesians 4:11-16

God has an individual purpose and plan for each one of us, but as the Body of Christ, and followers of Jesus, we have a calling to grow up into mature faith, to the measure of the stature and fullness of Christ.

We are called to be spiritual adults, not children.

We are called to deepen our knowledge of Him and grow our faith in Him.

And we are called to FEARLESSLY share His truth and love to the nations.

We often think or make excuses that only after we graduate, or we're in college, or have our career path figured out, or have a steady job, or are married with kids, THEN, and only after those things are worked out, God can use us to further His kingdom.

But the truth is, the day you're spiritually raised from the dead, the day you accept Christ as savior and Lord of your life, is the day you start proclaiming the Gospel.

That doesn't mean that your story won't unfold and that God doesn't have a plan for those big milestones and decisions in your life. It just means that you don't have to wait; you can be in His purpose right now.

No more saying, "But I don't know what God's will for me is."

On your prayer list, move above your prayer for comfort this prayer:

"God, every time I open my mouth, You give me the words to say."

That is a powerful and transforming prayer. This prayer will uproot you and put you in a place of flexibility and availability where He can reveal his plan and vision for you, all while using you to further His kingdom.

Don't let the uncertainty of your future hinder you from sharing the love of Christ.

Go do whatever you're wired to do in the name of Jesus.

He's not concerned with what you're doing. He says whatever you're doing, do it to the glory of Christ.

Spread the word of Christ BOLDLY.

Don't value peer acceptance more than bringing glory to our Savior.

The only fear we should have is the fear of living an insignificant life.

Minimize all other fears.

Don't waste your life. Don't waste the talents and spiritual gifts God has given you.

Go, and make disciples.

You will never regret letting God use you to further His kingdom.

Have a blessed weekend, BCSMers! Praying for God to reveal opportunities to share His love with others!
