Let’s Authenticate our Divine Reputations
Our Celestial Rap-Sheet contains vivid Experiences of Spiritual events over the course of life; how God confirms His presence is brilliant. Consider the odds that No two forms of life encounter the Almighty’s presence the same. My character was encapsulated by His Holy-Spirit, enamored by His Word and Freed of Sin during a Spectacular-Storm of historical proportion. The storm can be confirmed by the National Weather Service, but who can Testify to a Conversion-of-Soul?
The Holy-Spirit can make immediate changes in human consciousness, people bear witness to God to sustain His immortal existence. The Fruits of the Spirit produce lasting Faith-Love-Hope through Christ-the-Redeemer. Jesus is God’s Son, His-Living-Words prove beyond human imagination that our Lord’s sacrifice changed the World. Christ captured the hearts of His followers, empowered His Enemies, and overcame the World so that humanity could experience God’s Celestial-Existence.
“When Simon saw that the Spirit was conferred by the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money and said, “Give me this power too, so that anyone upon whom I lay my hands may receive the holy Spirit.” But Peter said to him, “May your money perish with you, because you thought that you could buy the gift of God with money. You have no share or lot in this matter, for your heart is not upright before God. Repent of this wickedness of yours and pray to the Lord that, if possible, your intention may be forgiven. For I see that you are filled with bitter gall and are in the bonds of iniquity.” Simon said in reply, “Pray for me to the Lord, that nothing of what you have said may come upon me.”So, when they had testified and proclaimed the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem and preached the good news to many Samaritan villages.
Philip and the Ethiopian. Then the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, “Get up and head south on the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza, the desert route.”So, he got up and set out. Now there was an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of the Candace, that is, the queen of the Ethiopians, in charge of her entire treasury, who had come to Jerusalem to worship,and was returning home. Seated in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah.The Spirit said to Philip, “Go and join up with that chariot.” Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and said, “Do you understand what you are reading? ”He replied, “How can I, unless someone instructs me?” So, he invited Philip to get in and sit with him. This was the scripture passage he was reading:
“Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter,
and as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he opened not his mouth.
In (his) humiliation justice was denied him.
Who will tell of his posterity?
For his life is taken from the earth.” (Acts 8:15-33 NABRE)
Our Divine-Reputations are set solidly in our Body’s actions; holy are they who seek redemption for their inequities. Jesus emancipated Human-Life so that God would secure their Eternal-Salvation. Our Lord converts Minds to contend with a World-of-Darkness. But rather than condemning Souls, He frees’ them from all inequity by Validating their Conversion from Worldliness to Life-in-Christ.
