Title: When God Shakes the House (6 of 6)
Series: Bold As A Lion
Author: Jeff Schreve
Text: Acts 4:23-31
If you have your Bible, please turn to Acts chapter 4, Acts chapter 4. I've entitled this message, "When God Shakes the House."
Scottish theologian, Sir George Adam Smith, was climbing the Weisshorn mountain in the Swedish Alps. I know Larry Sims liked to climb mountains. He liked to go to Switzerland, and I don't think he ever climbed this one. This one is 14,783 feet above sea level. It was a big deal to climb that mountain. Takes hours and hours and hours to do it. Well, Sir George Adam Smith was with his guide, and he was climbing the mountain. They finally got to the top, and it was a very stormy day. They get to the top, and he is just rejoicing, and he gets to the top, and he jumps up for joy that he conquered that mountain. And when he did, the wind almost blew him off the mountain. The guide had to grab him and pull him down, and the guide said to this, said to him, "On your knees, sir. You are safe here only on your knees." I thought what a great analogy. What a great story for us today because we need to be encouraged to pray. The only safe ground in our walk with the Lord is when we're on praying ground, when we're on our knees.
Now, we've been, for the last several weeks, in a series called, "Bold as a Lion" from Proverbs 28, verse 1, "The wicked flee when no one is pursuing, but the righteous are bold as a lion." And today, we want to finish this series with a message on prayer, praying for boldness. It's exactly what the disciples did, what the early church. They would ask God to help them to be bold, because you know what? They're not that much unlike us. They struggled with fear just like you struggle with fear, just like I struggle with fear, just like we struggle with fear. And they were facing dangerous times as they preached Jesus and the resurrection and salvation only in His name. And so, they had to pray to God t ...
