DAY 7: Walk in Boldness Without Shame!
Main Scripture: Psalm 127:5
Supporting Scriptures: Romans 8:1, 2 Timothy 1:7, Hebrews 4:16
Psalm 127:5 NKJV
Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; They shall not be ashamed, But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
Psalm 127 ends with a promise that can be easy to overlook:
“They will not be put to shame.”
This goes beyond public embarrassment. In Scripture, shame is heavily tied to identity. It is the internal voice that says;
🚩 I’m not enough
🚩 I have failed, so I am a failure
🚩 I have to prove myself
But a life built by the Lord produces something different. It produces confidence rooted in Him, and not in performance.
Shamed entered in Genesis 3 when Adam and Eve sinned. Their immediate response after they sinned was to hide themselves. Shame always pushes you to;
🚩 Withdraw
🚩 Cover Yourself
🚩 Avoid Exposure
But the work of Jesus Christ restores you back to;
⭐️ Openness
⭐️ Confidence
⭐️ Right standing with the Lord
That is why in Romans 8:1, Paul tells us that there is no condemnation for those in Christ. This simply means;
YOU ARE NOT DEFINED BY YOUR PAST, YOUR MISTAKES, or YOUR SHORTCOMINGS.
2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
God has given you; POWER, LOVE, and a SOUND MIND. So you should walk in this boldly.
Boldness is not about being Loud or outgoing. It is about being secure in who you are in Jesus Christ,
When you are secure in Him;
🔑 You don’t need validation.
🔑 You don’t fear rejection
🔑You don’t shrink back from what you’re called to do
YOU HAVE ACCESS WITH FEAR!
Hebrews 4:16 NKJV
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
This lets us know, “YOU ARE INVITED, NOT TOLERATED.”
Shame says; “Stay Back.”
Grace says; “Come close.”
Many people are saved but they are still living their life in Hesitation, Fear of stepping out, and insecurity.
Why? Because they are still relating to God through:
🚩Performance
🚩Fear
🚩Past Failure
But Psalm 127 reveals that when your life is built by the Lord, YOU DON”T HAVE TO PROVE ANYTHING. YOU ONLY HAVE TO WALK IN WHAT HE HAS ALREADY ESTABLISHED.
What does bold living look like today?
⭐️ You obey God even when it feels uncomfortable
⭐️ You speak truth without fear of rejection
⭐️ You step into opportunities with overthinking
⭐️ You stop disqualifying yourself
Empowered Reflection:
I want you to take a moment to think;
➡️ Where has shame been causing me to shrink back?
➡️ Am I living from my God given identity, or am I trying to earn it?
➡️ What would I do differently if I truly believed I was accepted?
TAKE ONE BOLD STEP TODAY!
Speak up!
Step out!
Obey what the Father has been putting on your heart.
Do this all without overthinking or being in self-doubt.
Empowered Declaration:
“I am not defined by shame or fear. Through Jesus, I am accepted, empowered, and bold. I walk confidently in who the Lord has called me to be.”
WHEN YOU ARE BUILT BY THE FATHER, YOU DON’T SHRINK BACK, YOU STEP FORWARD.
Thank for taking this 7 day journey with me. I pray it blessed your life. I want you to always keep Jesus first in your life, and choose to LIVE LIFE EMPOWERED.
Apostle Terry Johns
