Then he called two of his centurion & ordered them: Get ready a detachment of two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen & two hundred spearmen to go to Ceasaria at nine tonight. Provide mounts for Paul so that he may be taken safely to Govenor Felix. (Acts 23:23-24). The Roman commander ordered Paul sent to Ceasaria. God works in amazing & amusing ways. They were infinite possibilities of ways God could use to get Paul to Ceasaria, but He chose to use the Roman army to deliver Paul from his enemies. God's ways are not our ways. Our ways are limited; His ways are not. God proved in this case that He gives us maximum protection & security as His children & servants. The security He gives us, no head of state the world over enjoys such security. Just imagine two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen & two hundred spearmen assigned to provide security for just one person. This shows how special we are before God. God has made us royal. We need to live as royal & speak with AUTHORITY. Don't limit God by asking Him to respond your way. When God intervenes, anything can happen, so much more, & so much better than you could ever anticipate. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father, I am humbled. I see in today's reading the extent to which You value our lives. We are your children & special to you. You proved that when Paul was transferred to Ceasaria. You gave him maximum protection & security. Four hundred & seventy special military forces provided guard for him. On a spiritual level, every soul is precious before You. Give us the grace to witness Jesus Christ to the lost. Give us the grace to do mass evangelism through Healing, Deliverance & Miracles crusades mainly. At those crusades show up in full force & perform extraordinary miracles by our hands. Draw many to Christ through those evangelism initiatives. Help us to disciple them & to grow them in your Word. Thank you Jesus. Send your angels to guard us & to minister to our needs. In Jesus mighty name we pray & believe, Amen. God bless you all.
This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds & write them on their hearts. I will be their God, & they will be My people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying: Know the Lord, because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest. (Hebrews 8:10-11). If our hearts are not changed, following God's rules will be unpleasant & difficult. We will rebel against being told how to live the Christian way. The Holy Spirit, however, gives us new desires, helping us wanting to obey God. With new hearts, hearts of flesh & not hearts of stone, we will find that serving God is our greatest joy. Under God's new covenant, God's law is inside us & not outside, ie, on a tablet of stone. No, it's written in our hearts. It is no longer an external set of rules & principles. The Holy Spirit reminds us of Christ's words, activates our ...
