'The Agape Letters' to the House of Faith!

Volume 4 Chapter 7 Page 4

Thursday July 5, 2007       19 Tammuz 5767 (Hebrew 9th Month)

"Beyond 'The Call'!"

 
"HIS WORD Spoken IS 'Destiny'!"

 

Acts 17:6 (Amplified Bible)
 
But when they failed to find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brethren before the city authorities, crying, These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,

 

It is of the greatest importance to me as well as all Believers in Christ, to understand the role of Holy Spirit as one who 'Reveals the Truth of God', guiding me into that depth of understanding of God and who HIS Son is for 'Living my Life in Victory'.

To me this scripture is twofold in 'Purpose', one in that it documents the 'Powerful Testimony' of Paul and Silas, which angered those men to the point of making such an astonishing claim about the 'Gospel of Christ Jesus'.

Speaking boldly the Truth about God's WORD, in the 'Power and Authority' given by HIS Spirit, Paul and Silas were refered to as

'Men who have turned the world upside down''

This statement is actually solid 'Confirmation' of God's WORD spoken by the Old Testament Prophet Isaiah,

Isaiah 24:1 (Amplified Bible)
BEHOLD, THE Lord will make the land and the earth empty and make it waste and turn it upside down (twist the face of it) and scatter abroad its inhabitants.

No man under his own strength could accomplish such a feat, yet the 'Creator' CAN and DID just this very 'Act of Power', to a world that was so completely filled with rebellion by it's inhabitants.

Yet it is God's 'Plan' that HIS Creation LEARN of HIS Eternal Grace and Mercy, making known to us who Believe in Christ through Holy Spirit, the Truth concerning HIS Sovereign Power!

These men who accused Paul and Silas of such a 'World Changing' event, were unknowingly 'Fulfilling' God's WORD to the letter.

Even where God in HIS Power, used a donkey to 'Speak' to one of HIS Faithful servants, to deliver HIS Message of 'Repentance and Salvation', the men of Thessalonica were used similiarly to further the 'Scattering of the In-Habitants',,, possibly refering to Believers in Christ who are 'Spirit Filled'.

'Confirmed' in the sight of unbelievers, as an 'Ambassador for Christ', also fulfills the 'Calling and Destiny' of a 'World Changer'.

More of who Christ IS to me!

          MORE like HIM,

                        I desire to be!!

                      Some day SOON, with HIM I will BE!!!

O'Lord, I desire greater understanding of YOUR Wisdom and Truth,
that I may speak with boldness and courage,
as did Paul and Silas of YOUR Boundless Love!
I WILL to submit to YOUR 'Director' in my life,
to be used in turning this world 'Upside Down'!!
Holy Spirit places YOUR WORD into my heart,
where knowledge of YOUR Son deepens with every passing day!!!
Steering me as a donkey with YOUR 'Reign of Glory',
by which YOUR 'Message of Hope and Salvation',
will 'Reach the WORLD for Jesus'!

Scatter me as YOU did those who follow YOUR WAY,
so that those who are lost may find YOU TOO-day!!!
Amen!!!
