Power To Preach

Act 19:8-10 NASB

(8)  And he entered the synagogue and continued speaking out boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading them about the kingdom of God.

(9)  But when some were becoming hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the people, he withdrew from them and took away the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.

(10)  This took place for two years, so that all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.

Paul spoke boldly in the synagogue at Ephesus for about three months.  Speaking boldly is not something that is reserved for the Preacher.  We all are called to share the gospel. We all receive the same Holy Spirit.  We all have a ministry.

After three months Paul left.He separated the Disciples.  They went about spreading the Gospel and in two years all that dwelt in Asia heard the gospel.
