Moses was a man that God called to bring the Law, and the commandments to His people. To set them free from slavery. Paul was a man that God called to bring the love of Christ, and ‘Grace’, to His people. Paul was a pharisee of pharisees; a man highly trained, and totally committed to the Law given unto Moses. A man that violently hated this “sect” that believed in Jesus as Messiah. But as we read in Acts 9: 1-30, we see His personal encounter with the Lord Jesus, and the life that was changed forever. The life that was used and given to bring and explain the Good News of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles.
Today let us take a brief look at his heart, and pray in agreement with him through this prayer:
“So I bow in prayer before the Father from whom every family in heaven and on earth gets its true name. I ask the Father in His great glory to give you the power to be strong inwardly through His Spirit. I pray that Christ will live in your hearts by faith and that your life will be strong in love and be built on love.
And I pray that you and all God’s holy people will have the power to understand the greatness of Christ’s love -how wide and how long and how high and how deep that love is. Christ’s love is greater than anyone can ever now, but I pray that you will be able to know that love. Then you can be filled with the fullness of God.
With God’s power working in us, God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine. To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus for all time, forever and ever. Amen.” Ephesians 3: 14-21
When we encounter Jesus, our lives are changed forever. We fall in love with Love, and we want everyone else to know that love. Amen and Amen.
