Topic: Kicking against the pricks (Apostolic Revival)
"Acts 9:5-6 KJV
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. [6] And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do."
Kicking against the pricks, is what you're doing when you are speaking against God's anointed, God's ordinances and opposing the word of God.
That was what Jesus challenged Saul for, let's see his questions.
Who are you Lord?
There's hope for a persecutor can recognize the voice of the Lord.
Christ revealed himself to Saul, that was his only hope.
Saul trembled and ask, what will you have me do?
When God calls, it brings mercy, when man responds, it makes us a useful vessel. God doesn't call in vain.
"Isaiah 45:19 KJV
I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right."
God calls constantly looking for whom to send.
"Isaiah 6:8 KJV
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me."
May we not kick against the prick, fighting against the word of God.

Prayers: Oh Lord Jesus,
preserve those persecuted for Christ and righteousness' sake and encounter the Persecutors.
preserve those persecuted for Christ and righteousness' sake and encounter the Persecutors.
