“Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: for I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.”
Acts 18:9-10 KJV
One night, the Lord spoke to Paul in a supernatural vision and said, “Don’t ever be afraid. Speak the words that I give you and don’t be intimidated, because I AM with you. No one will be able to hurt you, for there are many in this city whom I call My own.” Preaching to the Jews, the apostle Paul had faced such a strong resistance that the Great I AM appeared to him and assured him of His Presence. Paul went on to preaching to the non-Jews as well. Jesus clearly told Paul to preach the words that He gave Paul to speak. Because Paul was obedient to the vision, he had success in preaching the Gospel of Christ and planting the many churches that he did, as well as writing the epistles that he did. Today, in the secular and humanistic culture of activism that we live in, it is only listening to the great I AM speaking directly to us and we being obedient to Him, being assured of His Presence, that we can bring the light of the glorious Gospel to the perishing. Amen!
