Yesterday's message was entitled, "A Supernatural Encounter." The text was taken from Paul's Road to Damascus experience in Acts 9.
Some earthly minded preachers have said that Paul’s experience was:
1)A Heat stroke from the desert sun
2)Paul was struck by a bolt of lightning on a clear day and he only thought he heard a voice
3)Paul had an epileptic seizure Charles Spurgeon, the great preacher of the past said, “If that’s true, I wish that all men could have epilepsy.”
Man is always trying to explain away the things of the supernatural. To admit that there is really a world of the supernatural is to also admit that Heaven and God and Hell and the Devil are also real and man can’t face the idea that he isn’t the final authority on anything. Paul was confronted with the Light from Heaven, coming down from the Father of Lights with whom there is no variableness or shadow of turning. When we are confronted with the Light of Jesus by hearing his Word preached or the eyes of our spirit are opened and the light of love flows in, we can’t help but be changed. We can then choose to change and follow the Light or we can choose to close our eyes and walk into the depths of darkness. Without Jesus we are nothing, we can do nothing outside of His power within us. We can accomplish nothing for the kingdom of God without Jesus.
