“Bold…Even more!”
““When the fish aren’t biting, change the tactic!” Dr. Goudeaux


Ephesians 3:12
12In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
• Boldness is already present
• You just have to exercise it (develop it)
• The more you exercise it…the bolder you will become
• Paul became even bolder
• He saw how zealous he was for the devil
• So he became even bolder for Christ and wrote 14 books of the bible

Ephesians 6:19
19And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

• Paul was committed to boldness

Acts 2:4
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

• We are still writing the book of Acts
• What is the difference from then to now?
• The emphasis is removed from the Holy Spirit
• A continual backsliding of the boldness and the Holy Spirit
Here are three points that you need in your life
1. Get them saved
2. Baptized
3. Filled
• That anchors them for a more committed life
• Then get them to be a witness (cause them to be bold)

Acts 2:1
1And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
• GOD was bringing forth change (establish church through his son)
• Christ (salvation) left then Holy Spirit came
• Holy Spirit has a different functions

I Corinthians 12:4, 12
4Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 12For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
• Diversities of gifts and the same Spirit
• Just like Pastor is Husband, Grandpa/Dad and Boss
• To limit GOD with one function is a travesty
• Underline all of “same Spirit(s)”, dividing severally as He will
• The body has more than one function but it’s the same body. By one Spirit
• By one Spirit, we’re baptized into one body

Acts 2:12, 14
12And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 14But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

• Outpouring of Holy Spirit was already done
• The disciples were cowards until filled
• Peter became bold and started preaching
• Pray –That as opportunity come, you don’t miss
• Boldness with the supernatural

Acts 2:37- 41
37Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call. 40And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 41Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three housand souls.

• Peter preached a message to these Sadducees, Pharisees and Sanhedrin council
• Peter said “repent and be baptized”
• Be aware baptism does Not come before salvation
• Verse.39 is the answer to Verse 38
• The promise is to everybody who wants it
• Verse 41: “In the same day 3,000 souls was saved “

Jews believed in GOD but didn’t know Jesus (most still don’t). For identifying of self for death, burial and resurrection. Don’t get caught up in dogmas. No heaven without accepting Christ. The Blood is the only thing that saves us. Now Peter was a preaching machine saying “Save Yourself”. Salvation is an on-going process, which is not watching, listening, and talking what I shouldn’t be. (notice this didn’t happen until somebody got bold). Holy Spirit came; they got baptized, boldness, supernatural, and then came the people

Acts 3:1, 5-10
1Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 5And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. 6Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. 7And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. 9And all the people saw him walking and praising God: 10And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.


• Laid at gate (38-40 years
• People were going into the temple and no one had boldness or was filled
• But, when boldness comes into contact with a need
• The need will be transferred into manifestations
• That’s why your enemy fears you
• Expectation was present
• Taking him by the hand was boldness
• “And immediately his feet / ankles received strength”
