Grace for your spirit March 4, 2014

Grace for your spirit
And the Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent; for I am with you, and no man will attack you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city." Acts 18:9-10

The Apostle Paul was about to start a ministry in Corinth.  It was a city filled with evil, and was well known for its worldliness.  With the Lord's encouragement, Paul overcame his fears and stayed there for a 1 1/2 years and had a very successful ministry.  Many who were involved in the worst possible sins were washed, sanctified, and justified.  Those souls were happy Paul overcame his fears and helped them overcome theirs.  We may be afraid to speak out for God in our world.  We need to remember that with God, we are stronger than all the evil in the world.  We will never lead people out of their sins, until we let God lead us own of our fears.
