Gleaned from my Bible study today, this passage, wherein Saul takes on the wicked Bar-Jesus.  It struck me that every single time, every single time, we attempt to lead someone to Christ, the Adversary will do everything in his power to prevent it.

Notice Saul does not avoid combat with the forces of darkness. He confronts it head on. If we were to boldly do what Saul did – imagine what would happen. The devils would cower in fear.

Just a few weeks ago, my husband and I were going to look at house we were interested in. The whole thing was strange and Holy Spirit driven, but I digress.  As we were sitting at a red light, waiting to turn, my husband, looking straight ahead, said “If they aren’t Christians I’m not putting in an offer on that house.”  I said “Really?”  And he said yes.

This particular kind of strength comes only from The Holy Ghost. As it did for Saul, and does for anyone who chooses to stand up for our Lord Jesus Christ. Even ladies at the quilting bee need to have this kind of fortitude.  Enough of tepid Christianity! 

More on the house saga later…
