And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people. 9 Then there arose some from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia), disputing with Stephen. 10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke. 11 Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.” 12 And they stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes; and they came upon him, seized him, and brought him to the council. 13 They also set up false witnesses who said, “This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law; 14 for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs which Moses delivered to us.” 15 And all who sat in the council, looking steadfastly at him, saw his face as the face of an angel.
God's word is perfect. And as He said to Moses, I am who I am. We also must take on this belief and power knowing God's word will not fail us. He is the God who can change all circumstances for the better. He rises and sets the sun and moon each day and has given the stars in the sky their own names. How is that for love? God has made everything perfect and He asks that we also strive for perfection in His word. Lying, deceiving and back-biting are not accepted in the kingdom of God, though this is the very thing that the Synagogue of the Freedman did, the verses tell us. God commands order in our lives and in His world. We cannot do all the things that the bible speaks ill against and receive our inheritances. Why do we settle so easy just to get by? think and say all the things that stop our blessings? Jesus blood runs through us and His word has been spoken. Now it's up to us to stir up His blood inside of us and leap new bounds in life. We have to come together as a people, God's children, then begin to work this gift from heaven and become amazed by its truths. There are customs, religions, and other curses that have been passed down to us from generations long ago, and if we don't stop letting money hide all of our defects and shortcomings we'll never see God's signs, wonders, vision and miracles come to life. Read the truth, Then go tell the truth.
Blessings God as we wake up to your truth and tell it,
