When
you have a Damascus experience like Paul, it changes your life radically.
Before, Paul killed Christians; now he supports the opposite side 100%. he's
driven to use all his energy to inform people about Jesus. once you meet Jesus
face to face, everything changes to completely.
No
prison can stop Paul. No stick that hits his body, no shouting or spitting by a
soldier will stop him. His passion to save lots of others from eternal fire
burns constantly and zip can put it out, 4... that God will open doors for
telling the mystery of Christ, even while I'm locked up during this jail. Pray
that each time I open my mouth i will be ready to make Christ plain as day to
them.
I'm
embarrassed by my very own little fire. it's so easily extinguished or put out.
So easily I shut one's mouth and rather say nothing, because nowadays we've to
offer everyone space to believe as they like.
I
take my hat off to variety of teachers in my son's school. They saw the
necessity to assist dads to attach to their sons and began a movement called
Engage. Any father and son are welcome.
They
know many aren't Christians. they're careful and check out to not offend. But
they're not afraid to mention exactly who they believe . Even the top boy who
talked on to the young boys stated clearly that he had made a choice for Jesus
in his life. How wonderful it had been when this same head boy concluded the
evening with a prayer and blessed everybody.
Here
one could see that today there are still people like Paul who cannot shut one's
mouth . the key must be revealed. the danger doesn't matter, whether it's
imprisonment or the govt or losing your friends, every one must hear the great
news.
I
think they skills to inform the proper thing at the proper time. Yes, they're
sensitive and provides space. But that does not mean that they do not speak up.
By hook or by crook, the key must out!
I
realise that we cannot make it work on our own. Paul knows that too. i think
that Paul's personality is more a "turn or burn" technique, and,
therefore, he asks for reinforcements. We are too weak. Either our fire is
extinguished or we are insensitive and drives people away before we get an opportunity
to offer the message.
God
must help us. we'd like God's Spirit to guide us in order that we will say and
do the proper thing at the proper time. May it's so. May we be sensitive to the
guidance of the Spirit.
Let
us strive to follow Paul's example. May we be just like the "> just
like the teachers at my son's school and burn like the head boy to inform the
great news and should God's Spirit guide us to try to to it within the right
way at the proper time.
