Truth Is Truth - Acts 8:4, 13

"But the believers who had fled Jerusalem went everywhere preaching the good news about Jesus." Acts 8:4

This seems to be God's ultimate game plan. That no matter what the enemy attempts, no matter how intense the persecution, no matter how fragmented God's people become, the message will be preached, the truth will be recognized and people will be saved, "in ever widening circles." It's almost like trying to stop an avalanche from moving downhill; it's not possible, and try as you might, it gets bigger and picks up speed as well as intensity. TRUTH is the operative word here. People will recognize it no matter their background. Consider Simon in Samaria -- he was a very powerful sorcerer in his own right, but recognized the difference once Philip got there. "Then Simon himself believed and was baptized. He began following Philip wherever he went and was amazed by the miracles and signs Philip performed." Acts 8:13

You can't stop the Truth.

Lord, thank you for being the author of this plan, that that it does not require our will or ability to carry it out, only your Holy Spirit. Let me never be blind to the role I am supposed to play.
