Our salvation account isn’t called “A funny thing happened on the way to Damascus,” but God the Holy Spirit confronted each of us on our way somewhere. We should consider how God the Holy Spirit can use our 2-3 minute “BC” account in other people’s lives for His honor and glory.

The enemy continues to fight against God even though God always, always wins because the enemy only needs to win one time to “win back his place in heaven.” The enemy is “Never Satisfied,” and he will continue fighting to the bitter end!
Any believer who thinks he doesn’t matter doesn’t understand the biblical imagery of the Church—the Body of Christ. The human body has cells that fight infection, organs that remove impurities, and organs that exchange what cannot be used for what is essential to use. Do we know how and where we as believers fit into the Body of Christ and the local church?

The “spiritual post-mortem” of our lives, our “spiritual autopsy,” will reveal what we prioritized and truly committed to during our physical life. That is quite true, and it also is quite tragic—our “spiritual autopsy” should not reveal what we prioritized, it should confirm what everyone already should have seen!
Most of the time, we are so focused on “our usual route” that we fail to take advantage of the new experiences and blessings of a detour that God arranges so that He can use us to minister to those with whom we don’t ordinarily cross paths.
Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ today have exactly the same power available from God the Holy Spirit that was available to believers in the 1st-century, so it is not His fault that we do not see similar results!
Human effort will give a certain amount of energy, but it is unsustainable in spiritual matters. Remember the “stony ground” and the “thorny ground” in the parable of the sower? No Fruit! Only “Holy Spirit power” is consistently sustainable.
