Encountering the Incredible Pt. 2

Continuing with the message. When Paul was on the Road to Damascus he had an Encounter with the Incredible. Acts 26:12-18 show the Elements of an Encounter, and the next couple of days we will discuss them.

Ch. 26 V. 12-18 Elements of an Encounter

1.    V.12  Location

• I want you to realize that Paul was not en route to worship service or to perform a good deed.
• God has a way of capturing our intention, we are not even truly thinking about Him.
• When we are doing wrong, God has a way speaking to us.
• Location does not have to refer to a physical geographical place, but it can refer to abstract places like, health, finances, and family.  

        2.    V. 13  Enlightening Experience

• God gives Paul an experience that knocks him off his feet, and God wants to give you an experience that knocks you off your fee.
• This is a bit of paradox, because it is in knocking Paul down that he was able to see God better. It is in our being knocked off our feet and falling back that draws us closer to God.
• The Glory of God makes you cognizant of your real status.

                     Paul was blinded physically to demonstrate his spiritual blindness.

                     God manipulates our circumstances so that He can demonstrate His strength being made perfect in our weaknesses.
