2 Timothy 1:7, 8 (NIV)
7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. 8 So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God,

We can come to church and we can sit there and we can have a halleluiah time and glory to Jesus yet we have such difficulty talking to our neighbor about Jesus. We have such a difficult time talking to the people that we work with about Him and so we hide our weaknesses inside our halleluiahs and our meetings and we are as bold as lions but God help us if we get caught out there with our bible in our hands and if anyone asked, "What is that?" rather than to say "Oh I'm a Christian and I'd like to tell you about Jesus."

We are like Peter where on being asked, "Are you one of them?" "Noooooooo, not me" and under the conflict of pressure we deny Him until one day we hear the cock crow and then there is going to be change. Do we go on in our life denying Him or do we use the power of the Holy Spirit to change our life like Peter did. The power of God inside of you is able to confront our fears without condemnation.
