Paul said, “Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel” Ephesians 6:19 (NIV). It was a two-fold request that “words may be given me” and “fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel.” The forces of the world were set to produce fear and intimidation in anyone who would dare proclaim the messiahship of Jesus and another kingdom. This mystery of the Gospel needs the prayers of the people and the inspiration of the Spirit to advance with persuasive power. The long-hidden mystery is now revealed. The day of the Kingdom has arrived.
