In Acts 22 & 23, Paul asked the Roman commander to allow him to speak to the mob that was pressing in all around him before being imprisoned. Paul shared his encounter with Jesus. He testified of Jesus' power and the transformation that has happened to him because of Jesus. Jesus is our Savior, He is our Redeemer, and Rescuer. Regardless of any opposition in his journey, Paul continued on. He followed the will and lead of the Holy Spirit within him wholeheartedly. We must repent and surrender to the lead of the Holy Spirit with all of our guts. The Lord brought Paul through fires and ultimately to His victory and souls were saved for eternity as a result. Nothing matters more. Opposition will come, but the Lord God Almighty is with us in every fire and He will carry us through. We need to trust the Lord and His promises and know that He is faithful. His love never ends and He is leading us to His victory. The victory has already been won. We just have to choose to get on the path and keep going, keep pressing in, and keep pursuing Jesus with all our guts.
