JESUS DO NOT NEED US HE CAN USE A NON-BELIEVER TO SERVE HIS PURPOSE

It’s amazing how Jesus chosen people were the ones who hated and disobeyed Him, they read and heard the Word but would not receive Him; because they wanted to continue to live in their glory, instead of glorifying Him.  Even Saul a non-believer who persecuted and killed those that followed Jesus was converted into a believer through the revelation of Christ.   When Jesus gave Saul sight back, he was so grateful that he was intertwined with a deep affection for Christ; this gave him confidence and trust in Jesus, which most Jews did not have.  Saul was so overwhelmed with the Spirit, he began to preach the Word in Damascus, and he would often talk and argue with the Jewish people; about the way they lived.   Jesus, will not force us to receive Him because He can use anyone even a nonbeliever to serve His purpose.

Acts 9:30-31 when the followers learned of this, they took Saul to Caesarea and from there sent him to Tarsus.  The Church everywhere in Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had a time of peace and became stronger.  Respecting the Lord by the way they lived, and being encouraged by the Holy Spirit, the group of believers continued to grow.

Father, forgive us for not respecting You by the way we live, help us to become more Christ-like; so the Holy Spirit will give us guidance and order our steps in Your will.  Lord, help us develop the Fruit of the Spirit so we can drown out the confusion of the world and focus on You and the things pertaining to the Spirit.  Father, forgive us for falling short in our prayer life, worship and praise; fill us with Your wisdom and the knowledge to implement what we learn from You in our lives.  Father, Your Word tells us that we should always pray and not be faint; please forgive us for forgetting about You when things are good.  Lord, we when we are weak help us pray with the Spirit and give us understanding; so we can mature into Disciples and follow You.  Lord, keep us humble so we will glorify You and not our selves,  in Jesus name Amen
