Wednesday, September 18, 2019 -No Matter What

Paul taught and encouraged believers everywhere. What we face here on this earth for the sake of the gospel is worth it. He urges us to remember this life is temporary and only the things that are eternal will last. When Paul and Silas were in prison and the jailer came to Christ, it only strengthened their faith. God's power continued to illuminate the light of Christ and His power was amplified in the lives of His followers.  The same power that shook the walls of the prison and saved the jailer is alive and well today in the hearts that are led by the Holy Spirit. The spread of the gospel is as important as it was in the early church. The results of a soul surrendered to Christ is just as new and the power of the Holy Spirit to lead in difficult places is as powerful as it ever has been. Jesus died to give freedom to those who follow Him; it is our choice to walk in it.   Acts 16:25-34; 2 Corinthians 4:5-18 Dawn Hedgepeth
