“By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein
we stand…” Romans 5:2
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we
may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16
We are still continuing our thoughts on
the characteristics of bold faith.
The fourth characteristic is that bold
faith is not intimidated by whoever or whatever is around it. When the brother
of David tried to intimidate him and make him keep quiet, he refused to be
silenced. This reminds me of blind Bartimeus, another person
that exhibited bold faith, when the people tried to shut him up he cried out
louder.
The fifth characteristic is that bold
faith is also not intimidated by the bigness of the opposition or problem.
Finally, bold faith is clear and specific
in its expectations in that situation. David told King Saul that Goliath shall
be like the bear and lion that he had slain earlier. He also told Goliath what
he David was going to do to him.
This is one of the areas where we miss it
most in our exercise of faith, our lack of specificity. I believe that one can
use the level of specificity to measure one’s level of boldness of faith. The bolder
you are the more specific you get in your exercise of faith. BE BOLD!
