God accepts people that the church would often rather leave behind.
Scripture: Acts 7:51-58, Acts 8:1-4, Acts 9:1-2-
In the New Testament the closest person to a serial killer we see is Saul of Tarsus, the Apostle
Paul. God decided to save him, but it is not a pleasant salvation. It is not someone choosing to
simply bow their knee. As the early church prayed for protection and survival, God had mercy on
them. Paul was on his way for another confrontation with believers when God knocked him to his
knees, blinded him and left him blind for three days. Jesus sovereignly invaded Saul’s life! In
desperation, Paul cried out to God, God delivered him and called him into ministry. Who does
God accept? He accepts characters! He accepts people that the church would often rather leave
behind. Much of the church continued to fear Paul for years after his conversion. God will take
just about anybody as long as they have the humility to bow their knee. If God has to knock
someone to their knees, He is willing to do it. Getting knocked to our knees frequently has the
effect of teaching us who is Boss!
Today @ 6:40 p.m. is the full moon.
❖ Command the full moon to praise the Lord and do only His bidding.
❖ Utter the voice of the Lord to silence every other ungodly instruction given to the full moon
in this season Psalm 104.19, 136.7-9.
❖ As the rightful administrators of the earth, pray that sons and daughters of the Most High
God globally will become wiser and also take advantage of the occasions of the full moon,
to cloth the earth with their declarations of the Lord’s purpose and intent for creation
including the moon.
Luke 16:8b; Job 38:14.
