Truth is a person.
Why did God change Saul’s name to Paul?
He didn’t.
Paul chose to change his name from Saul to Paul to better appeal to the people God sent him to.
Saul was commited to a cause.
Because Saul did not know who Jesus was he built this fortress around a false identity of Jesus.
I would say that the culture he came from built a fortress around that lie and he bought in hard.
When we are living in a false identity of Jesus we need an encounter with Jesus.
Depending on how big of fortress we built around that false identity of Jesus, we will need a intervention.
If what we see is not the Truth then, we need to have an encounter with Truth and then become blind to the lie.
We build a fortress around lies:
Example, I have worked hard all my life.
I even found ways enjoy working hard.
I also have gotten a lot of attention in my life for being a hard worker more specifically for trying hard.
I was on the phone the other day with someone I used to work with.
He told me i was the first person he worked with that made his work ethic feel less than because I worked so hard.
As he was talking I realized what Jesus was doing in my life right now.
He was exposing that I get my identity in trying harder then the people around me.
I feel like I have been knocked off my donkey seen what I was perusing was a lie.
I built a fortress around that lie.
I hung on to every prophecy about being beyond my age or wisdom beyond years, or the shoes you where are bigger.
I hung on to every complement that confirmed this lie to be my identity.
I especially hung on the complements from people I admire or want to follow.
If I can impress them, I can be accepted and belong.
Now What?
Act 1
I see a couple of ingredients necessary for the scales of lies to fall of our eyes.
Ingredients for the scales of lies to fall off:
A encounter with Truth
Trust in what you hear or see, and follow where you are bing led.
Others, Others need to trust what Jesus says about you not your past.
Supernatural transfer.
Lay hands on, Regain your sight and be filled with Holy Spirit.
Others need to trust what Jesus says about you not your past.
Supernatural transfer.
Regain your sight and be filled with Holy Spirit.
What does this mean for where I am today?
It means I trust what I see and I follow where I am being led.
It means others need to trust in what Jesus says about me.
It means I need to regain my sight and be filled with Holy Spirit.
What does this mean for you today?
If you feel like you are on a path that is not the right path for you, you need an encounter with Truth.
If you feel God has you in a place of unknown or blindness you need to trust what you heard and saw and be led.
If you feel like you are past this then you are one who will be led to pray for someone to see and be filled with Holy Spirit.
I have two challenges for us today:
Be open to be knocked off your feet and to have an encounter with Truth.
Be open to be led by Jesus to lay hands on someone who needs to regain sight and be filled with Holy Spirit.
If you got a name already respond as soon as you can.
If you feel Jesus asking you to go lay hands on someone for them to regain sight and
It may require a element of trust in what Jesus says they are rather then what you perceive they are.
He didn’t.
Paul chose to change his name from Saul to Paul to better appeal to the people God sent him to.
