Acts 19:8, “And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.”

President Roosevelt said:

“Since becoming President, I have come to know that the finest of Americans we have abroad today are the missionaries of the Cross. I am humiliated that I am not finding out until this late day the worth of foreign missions and the nobility of the missionaries. Their testimony in China, for instance, during the war there, is beyond praise. Their courage is thrilling and their fortitude heroic.”^[1]

Our desire is that the whole earth would know Who the true and living God is!  The only Way to the God is through Jesus Christ.  In this passage (Acts 19:10) all of Asia hears the truth of God’s Word.  In other parts of Scripture (Colossians 1) every creature is said to have the Gospel preached to them.  May God help us to see that HE is able to do this through us in OUR GENERATION.  Here is one of four thoughts that will be coming out:

BE WILLING AND OBEDIENT (Acts 19:8)

Boldness comes from our prayer life (Acts 4), but here this boldness is seen in the fact that “…he went“!  I personally cannot speak as the the specific location that God would have you to be in this world.  There is much to be done in America to train leaders and much that needs to be done to encourage the cause of Christ worldwide; but I must be willing to go where the Lord would have me to go, and so do you!  For the world to be reached, we must have a generation that is willing to go unto the ends of the earth! Do not simply ask God a generic request, but ask Him to help you to be made willing.
