Christ Displaying His Strength

It was Christ Himself, by the power of His Holy Spirit who was increasing Saul’s strength. ‎And so, in this hour, I would like to take a closer look at how this spiritual strength was ‎displayed in Saul in these days following his conversion. And so, as we look at this, I want to ‎attempt to set forth this vital truth to you – It is Christ who gives you the strength to ‎accomplish all of God’s purposes for your life. This truth will apply to those who have not yet ‎found Christ, as well, because it will be important for you to see, that you must believe in ‎Jesus Christ for yourself to obtain spiritual strength. It will be very important that you see ‎the great need that you have for Christ’s righteousness to be imputed to you, and for Christ’s ‎great strength by grace to be imparted to you, so that you will be saved, and learn to walk in ‎His way. Each of us needs to see that the strength to make progress in your relationship of ‎faith in the Lord Jesus, and obedience to the will of God, comes not from yourself as its ‎source, but from God. 1st of all – The Display of Christ’s strength demonstrated, brought ‎amazement. (verses 20 and 21) ‎2nd – The Display of Christ’s strength demonstrated, ‎confounded the unbelieving. (verses 22-25) ‎ ‎3rd – The Display of Christ’s strength ‎demonstrated, brought fear and disbelief to many in the church. (verse ‎‎26)‎ And 4th – The ‎Display of Christ’s strength demonstrated, brought Barnabas and others to help Saul at just ‎the right time. ‎
