Waxed bold

"Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles" (‭Acts‬ ‭13‬:‭46‬ KJV). There are some people who do not desire to hear the Word of God. They know that it is the Truth, but their hearts desire to ignore the Truth. Just recently, I was asked to speak at a neighborhood outreach for a half hour. I asked God to give me a 30 minute message that would get the attention of all who attended. There was a few hundred people there, along with all sorts of booths and fun jumping castles for the kids. They were dancing and jumping to the music of the world. Many were having a good time. Then, it was my turn to speak, but what was supposed to be a half hour turned into ten minutes. I asked the Holy Spirit to move and speak what they needed to hear in ten minutes. They gave me the microphone and I began to speak all that the Lord had put on my heart. After a few minutes, the host came to take away the microphone because the Word of God was offending some people. Yes, the devil got upset, because the cross offends those who don't want to hear it. They did not want to hear the Truth when the apostle Paul preached it, and many do not want to hear it today either. Paul got hit by rocks, whipped, and thrown into prison for preaching the Truth. He never stopped and neither shall we. They might not want to hear the Truth, but it is the Truth that will set them free. Reach the harvest with the Word of Truth. God bless you. Amen
