Some of this was taken from my devotion today: "My UTMOST for HIS HIGHEST," by: Oswald Chambers
The vision Paul had on the road to Damascus was not a passing emotional experience, but a vision that had very clear and emphatic directions for him... And Paul stated, "I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision" (Acts 26:19). Our Lord said to Paul, in effect, "Your whole life is to be overpowered or subdued by Me; you are to: HAVE NO END, NO AIM, AND NO PURPOSE BUT MINE." And the Lord says to us, "YOU DID NOT CHOOSE ME, BUT I CHOSE YOU AND APPOINTED YOU THAT YOU SHOULD GO..."(John 15:16).
We must have the foundation of a personal relationship with Jesus. It is NOT enough to know that God has redeemed the world, nor even to know that the Holy Spirit can make all that Jesus did a reality in your life....
It is not our job to prove His existence. He did not die on the cross for you and I to argue with people that He is real...It is OUR JOB to "PROCLAIM," Him......
Paul was not given a message or a doctrine to proclaim, he was brought into a vivid, PERSONAL, OVERPOWERING, RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ......Acts 26:16; is tremendously compelling".........to make you a minister and a witness....." There would be NOTHING THERE without a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ.... Paul was DEVOTED to a PERSON (Jesus Christ), NOT to a CAUSE!!!!! He was absolutely Jesus Christ's. He saw NOTHING ELSE and he LIVED for NOTHING ELSE....
(1 Corinthians 2:2), "For I determined not to know anything among you except for JESUS CHRIST and HIM CRUCIFIED." Don't you want to know Him like that? Ask yourself today "Do I have a personal relationship with Jesus? Do I know who I belong too? What do I live for? What is my heart? Is it Jesus? Or is it things? Money? A bigger house? Nice clothes? Impressing other people? Your kids? Are you living through your children? If they are your only interest then that my friends is an IDOL.......Ask God today to reveal to you your idol's. Then have some prayer time with God... We have to place God first in our lives... Nothing else matters and I believe with all my heart that the road to heaven is narrower than we think....
Give me Jesus,
Robbie
