“…and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness†(Acts 4:31b).
At the time this verse was written the early church was undergoing persecution. In spite of this, the apostles continued to preach with courage. Even if it meant being put in prison or put to death, men of God boldly followed the leadership of the Holy Spirit. These were ordinary people carrying an extraordinary message. They were uneducated and had no formal religious training but they had their testimony and the Spirit living within them. The latter gave them the confidence they needed to do great things for God. What a marvelous example for us as followers of Christ today!
