Fearless-Factor - Acts 18:9

Are you being Quiet No More? Where does this statement come from? Is it even Biblical? Yes, and believe it or not it is also a Fearless Factor.
The Fearless Factor for today is Acts 18:9-10 "One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: "Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. (10.)For I am with you and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city."
Some of you may still be shaken up about yesterdays email about being faithful even until death. Well, Here is another Promise: I am with you and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city. God is saying do not let fear keep you quiet about what you know and what He wants you to share. He is with us and will not let anything happen out side of his will. Here is the cool part, God says he has people. God has an army marching through the land. God has your back.
I have always been a little guy, vertically challenged, but to my defense I am average male height 5'9. I digress, The point is when I was shorter I would talk tougher and more boldly when I had my bigger friends around. I felt safe that they would watch my back. This is exactly what God is saying. Be Bold and Confident in who I am. I am God and I am with you. Do Not Be Afraid, Keep speaking and don't let the world keep you quiet. God has people to protect you. He also has a legion of angels.
I read a story in the book "Angels" by Billy Graham about a family of missionaries in a tribal country. They received word that a tribe was going to attack and kill them that very night. However, that night nothing ever happened. A few months latter the leader of the attacking tribe came to Christ. The missionary asked the tribal leader, why did you not attack us during the night those few months back. The Tribal Leader replied, your soldiers were so huge and surrounded the house. We were terrified.
God sent His Army to protect them. He will do the same for you.
If God has our back, why are we being so quiet about Him.
Be Fearless and Quiet No More.
Your Brother in Christ,
