"Confronting Truth!"
The Apostle Luke records Paul's confession, as he gave testimony to his encounter with the Lord, the evidence that he offered to those who were listening, cutting deeply into their hearts, it was this 'Confrontation' with the Truth that day which today qualifies as the Power of God, stirring hardened hearts to move violently against those who seek to Proclaim Christ as Savior and Lord.
Not only did Paul confess to having heard the Lord's voice, he also Proclaimed he heard the Voice of Holy Spirit, speaking through the mouth of an Obedient Believer named Ananias,
This latter boldness of the Apostle Paul encourages me, where standing before those who accused him of blasphemy, it is God's Spirit who gives strength and courage to defend one's Faith in Christ as the Redeeming WORK of God.
As Stephen had been stoned for Proclaiming Jesus as the Messiah and God's Son, Paul was also facing persecution, as he stood boldly and confidently speaking of God's Truth to those who by choice would not listen to God's Voice.
Even though God's WORD is proclaimed throughout the world, there will be many who will despise and reject Christ, even persecute those who speak the Truth.
Yet I see how God was Faithful many times to deliver Paul from the hands of those who sought to kill him, that this Message of Hope and Redemption through Christ Jesus would advance far beyond the ears of the Jews only, reaching also to the Gentile nations and the entire world.
As the time of the Gentiles becomes increasingly near to it's fulfillment, it is the enduring Gospel of Christ that must be proclaimed to ears that are eager to hear and receive God's revelation of Truth, Salvation and Eternal Life through HIS Son, Christ Jesus.
