\u201cSo we may boldly say: <\/em>\u201cThe L<\/em>ord<\/em> is my helper; I will not fear.\u00a0 What can man do to me?\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hebrews 13:6\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NKJV<\/p>\n How often do we say anything boldly when it comes to the things of the Word?\u00a0 Often we say things hopefully, perhaps even desperately, but rarely do we speak with boldness regarding the Word and what it promises to us.\u00a0 We listen to the things of the world and even the words of man, which compromises our ability to speak with this kind of boldness.\u00a0<\/p>\n It is important for us to see what is said in the verse that directly precedes this one.\u00a0 At the end of verse 5, we are told that Jesus says, \u201cI will never leave you nor forsake you<\/em>\u201d.\u00a0 That is pretty strong language to assure us that He is with us and that He will be there with us with His power.\u00a0 Then what can the world do to us, what can man do to us?\u00a0 We have the promises of Jesus and his Word to stand on and when we operate in those words in faith, He will bring them to pass to the fullest measure.\u00a0 He is our helper and we have nothing to fear.\u00a0<\/p>\n Let\u2019s examine Jesus\u2019 promise to \u201cnever leave us nor forsake us\u201d more closely. By reading that verse in the Amplified Bible we see exactly what He means when He says this.\u00a0 Listen to His commitment to being with you, to be present with you in power and victory; \u201cI will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]\u201d.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n His promise to you is that He will not (emphatically) let you down or ever let you go.\u00a0 Assuredly He will not.\u00a0 That is a powerful way to assure you that He is faithful. Now we can look at verse 6 above and speak boldly regarding the things of the Word.\u00a0 We should have comfort and total peace in His promises in the Word because assuredly He will not let us down.\u00a0 This is more than just a promise it is evidence that is already a reality.\u00a0<\/p>\n Do you believe Jesus would speak this strongly and then not be willing or able to fulfill what He has spoken?\u00a0 The answer is not only will He, He already has.\u00a0 The Lord is your helper and His Word will not disappoint you, nor let you down.\u00a0 If you can see that, then you can speak boldly whenever problems arise in life.\u00a0 You can boldly speak His promises over sickness, financial worries, emotional distress or anything that this world and man can attempt against you.\u00a0 You have His assurance of victory and the power of His Word.\u00a0 So speak that Word with boldness and confidence.\u00a0 Speak His promises boldly, without fear or dread for He has said He \u201cwill in no way\u201d fail you.\u00a0 Speak fearlessly and with boldness.<\/p>\n J Todd Hostetler<\/p>\n
