As a shy, quiet person, this word is perfect for me. I pray that God will help me to walk in boldness and fill me with compassion and love. Help me not to be afraid of man and what they have to say.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
When only you hold a belief without any evidence, people would say that you are deluded. When you can persuade a small amount of people to believe as you do, it's called a cult. But when this belief is caught on by the masses, then and only then is it called a religion. Therefore, the difference between a delusion and a religion is not the truth, for any belief without evidence should never be spoken of as true. This is what the gullible imagine to be faith, and thus the reason for so many denominations today. But the difference between a delusion and a religion is simply the mass amount of persons that are willing to regard this delusion to be divine.
I always used to think that boldness was an aggressive approach. It never really a cured to me that it meant something else like getting out of your comfort zone. I have been struggling so much regarding sharing the gospel yet God has been hearing my prayer and I am so blessed to find your video. Every time I put myself out there and try to share the Gospel I feel that when I do it wrong someone will come along and demonstrate the correct way. God is answering me for He has so much compassion. I want to glorify God in everything and that includes overcoming my fears and struggling through it with God. He is a major blessing and I can not even comprehend His greatness.
Hun, even when you do it right you'll still have critics . Wrong or right,God is still with you so you mind as well praise the lord every morning while going out on whatever your mission is . They'll come to know Christ not by what you speak but by how you live your life,by your actions not word's. God bless ❤️🙏
Yes, 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 is an example of this. If we’re bold without love it becomes dangerous “truth telling”. If we don’t have love in our boldness to tell the truth, nothing is gained. Thank you Jackie for your boldness to not just put your story on display but for being an arrow pointed towards God. Know you are encouraging many through your loving boldness to love God more. I personally really appreciate it.
Use boldness, but not overbearance; and also see that ye bridle all your passions, that ye may be filled with love; see that ye refrain from idleness. (Alma 38:12)

I love your Heart!! You Preston refuse to open a church lol My husband and I would be on row 2 erey week.. You are a Beautiful asset to the Kingdom! Always lifting yall up..
Jackie has no idea how much I admire, respect and appreciate her ministry! My favorite human on the planet!! And her Upon Waking book is blessing me sooo much!!!!
In my Father's house there will be many rooms. And sis, you are going to have your very own penthouse suite! Everyrime you open your mouth to speak....you BLESS me!! Glory to GOD! And thank you for being bold and obedient.🙏🏽
This is so good! I struggle with being bold because of fear of man. I’m praying that I can grow in boldness bc I know that what God says/thinks about me matters more than my family, strangers, and coworkers. 💕
I've been struggling to be loving and yet bold, but I know that God sent this message to tell me that in all that we do we should glorify Him and His love and boldness will flow through us. We praise You Jesus AMEN!
Very timely Word sis as we have been in prayer asking for courage and boldness to preach and share the message of the kingdom. Such vital points too. I'm taking notes thank you for this love offering to the body of Christ, it was short but very wholesome. I'm blessed🙏🏽🇿🇦
Gotta find that Balance. Cant be somebody who say nothing for personal security or the person who just do it for the love of doing it. God GOT to be the center
I saw her at the women of joy conference 2023 in pigeon forge last wknd. She is amazing and annointed. May God continue to bless you, your family and your ministry.
WoW, this is where i've been sitting with God for the past couple of weeks...fear of man w/ family. It's easy to go both directions as in not saying anything when gossip or slander is spoken or speaking up without praying to be gentle & compassionate and like Jackie said, "...not glorifying God". Jen Wilkin states in her Abide study that, "God never sacrifices truth for the sake of relationship and He never sacrifices relationship for the sake of truth". Thank you, Jackie, for the exhortation.
So on point. We need to have compassion for the lost. Actually even Jesus to heal the sick he was moved by compassion, so yeah, compassion is so necessary
Yes! Love these thoughts, Jackie, especially the comments on the need to be bold out of our compassion for others. Indeed it is so easy to sit back and be silent, but love should compel us to preach to the Lord’s good news. If we’re not full of love when we’re sharing the gospel then we’re just noisy gongs that isn’t doing any good for Jesus’ kingdom
Amen, Jackie! Well said and so true. I believe the more time we spend in the presence of God and filled with His Spirit, will help us to overcome and conquer our fears and be able to develop and obtain the compassion of God for others.
My most favorite statement fear God before you feel man it's above fearing man. Knowing that you will face God at the end of your life to answer for your own life and no one will be by your side
So on point, Jackie! I've been praying that God would remove the regard of man from my heart. I say "regard" because for me its not only been a matter of worrying what others think but also a desire to impress. I pray the Lord breaks my heart and fills me to overflowing with compassion for the lost. 🙏🏼
Loving God truly will always produce love and compassion for his people. Loving God’s people will compel you to speak God’s truth to his people even at the expense of your self.
Oooooo!!!! This!!!!! Jaaackkiiieee!!!! So powerful and true!!! I pray God gives us the wisdom and balance to deliver the gospel as He intends! Amennnnn
For a time, an elder was saying to me that if you have fear in you, you need more of God’s love in you, particularly agape love. I’ve been praying and asking the Lord what fear and love have to do with one another, and the way you broke it down in this video has given me a clearer understanding. I had to be honest with Him and confess that I needed to know what real love is. I went through a lot at a young age, so my perception of what love is, is no where like the love that Christ wants us to have. I’ve been fearing man since my youth, and now that I am adult, I can see how far the Lord has brought me, and how He is still working on me in this area. Thank you and God bless!
Wow. Amazing reasoning here! I see a lot of wisdom in this. Thank you. I feel a lot more compelled these days to be bold about Jesus. I am NOT ashamed. And, I am not afraid. I wish those around me could feel not afraid, because of being secure in Christ! Amen!
Wow! This was right on time as I was just thinking about soul winning and why I struggle to do it. I am praying for compassion and love without fear. Perfect love casteth out all fear. 🙏🏽
I am very shy and have severe ptsd. I have also extereme anxiety and I have started to pray and am just learning and reading the Bible. I have multiple times avoided saying I'm Christian because of fear. I am so ashamed of this. I just repented but need help in just saying in Christian and believe in christ. I've become so timid and scared because of the things I've endured that I don't show mybtrue self to ppl because of fear. Pls pray for me to have courage and strength to stand for the truth. I feel so alwaful that I did these things.
Yes, very convicting. If we loved God above all else and others more than ourselves then we would be much more bold in our witness and sacrifice. Yet God’s grace abounds in our failings. However, that’s not an excuse to be selfish, but should be greater motivation to selflessness. “Create clean hearts in us oh God”
Wow that is so good. I didn’t think about that. Lack of compassion. Fear of suffering . Such good things to think about. I will take this into perspective for sure!
This one is definitely convicting for me. I am in an environment where people around me openly and boldly mock Christianity and it is so hard to speak up because I do not want to be attacked.
Thank you for breaking it down so simply and beautifully... it makes sense and purpose! ❤ I will be pondering and reflecting on this as I believe God's trying to show me something specific in response to my prayers!
Thank you Jackie Hill Perry! I needed that so much. I've been "praying or rather asking God how to have the kind of confidence that generates boldness. I'm such a coward 😢. I believe God, the Holy Spirit, used your explanation to answer and help me! I love when God does that! 🥰
Following and living for Christ is much harder than bending and giving into the world. You cannot have the strength/courage alone, but with Christ anything is possible.
Thank you for this. Yes, sometimes fear keeps us from doing things that ultimately Glorifies God bc we become Jesus to people when we show love, compassion and charity.
Therefore, my Sistah- We Must Count UP the Cost❗ Also Count Up All the cost 4 our Holy Boldness!!! But above ALL, WE Must have the Love 💕 of YAH and people in order 2 Compel them 2 Come 2 CHRIST ❗💯💥🙌🏿❤️🙏🏿🔥
