Acts 5:20
““Go and stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this Life.””
The battle lines have been drawn, and this command to go and stand is to stand their ground. They were just put into jail for speaking the gospel and now the angel is telling them to go stand and speak the same thing that had them thrown in jail. We are saved from solidarity into an army of soldiers for Jesus and with Jesus. They
Stand their ground
And
Speak the gospel
They are only able to do this because the Spirit of Jesus lives in and through them. The power to stand and speak, essentially the very thing that put them in prison, is not of their own strength or mind, but from the mind of Christ and His Spirit. We cannot continue to rely on our own strength and fight with Jesus, but stand our ground and speak the gospel by the very power of Jesus. Father God, help me to stand today by the strength of Your Spirit to speak and live the gospel in every area of my heart, soul, mind and strength, I pray this to your Father through the blood of Jesus and in the power of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
ACTION: Do nothing in my own strength today
