Prophets Faithfull to God's Covenant

Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) 

 

Faith and Action Preacher 

Acts 26:19-23
The Message

19-20 “What could I do, King Agrippa? I couldn’t just walk away from a vision like that! I became an obedient believer on the spot. I started preaching this life-change—this radical turn to God and everything it meant in everyday life—right there in Damascus, went on to Jerusalem and the surrounding countryside, and from there to the whole world.

21-23 “It’s because of this ‘whole world’ dimension that the Jews grabbed me in the Temple that day and tried to kill me. They want to keep God for themselves. But God has stood by me, just as he promised, and I’m standing here saying what I’ve been saying to anyone, whether king or child, who will listen. And everything I’m saying is completely in line with what the prophets and Moses said would happen: One, the Messiah must die; two, raised from the dead, he would be the first rays of God’s daylight shining on people far and near, people both godless and God-fearing.”

For Reflection

This was the Kingdom Moment on which Paul staked his life and the Jesus Movement's future (Christianity). The world would eventually experience a spiritual shift that is still influencing transformations in the manner of Christ.  The revelations are still made to the accepting and understanding souls. The same spirit and will that transformed Paul powers spiritual transformation in us today.  Paul shows us that belief and faith are not enough alone. One must have the courage to act on one's beliefs and faith. Morphing from one who has been disobedient into an obedient God-centered soul occupies a lifetime of effort of study, prayer, and multiple repentances.

Pray

Pray and listen to the whispers in your soul.  Pray, study scripture, and absorb the wisdom of the centuries.
